UGs Saturday Brunch at a New Lyndale Ave Bakery

About this event

This is a new bakery that's been open since last year! It has great reviews and a yummy chicken sandwich which I am right now munching on!

Grandfather Ricardo came home to help, too: Three generations of bakers were braided into one. Eventually, money ran thin, and the Alcocer family immigrated to California. After relocating to Minneapolis two years ago, Jesus Sr. was determined to resurrect his bakery dreams, and his family rallied behind him. At first, they operated Papá Chuy’s out of their home kitchen and sold their pastries out of Valerie’s Carniceria on Nicollet Avenue. When business began to boom, they moved into the former Vegan East space on Lyndale. Jesus Sr. and his wife, Blanca, are the head bakers at Papá Chuy’s. Masters of the dough, they make everything from scratch,…
