A warm new addition has arrived in downtown Albert Lea with the opening of Mom’s Bread Co, located at 118 S Broadway Ave. Founded by Katie Erickson, a mother of three and passionate baker, the café and bakery officially opened its doors in February 2025 and has quickly become a local favorite.
Housed in the former Crescendo Fine Dining location, the space has been beautifully transformed into a bright, inviting shop with a vintage-modern charm. Antique décor and cozy touches make it a welcoming stop for both locals and visitors.
Mom’s Bread Co offers a variety of made-from-scratch breads, including sourdough, cranberry walnut, honey oat, and cheddar jalapeño, along with gluten-free options. Customers can also enjoy handcrafted bagels, breakfast sandwiches, cookies, coffee drinks, and more—all prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
In addition to its regular offerings, the bakery also hosts monthly reservation-only dinners featuring curated menus and locally paired wines, providing a unique upscale casual dining experience.
Mom’s Bread Co is open Wednesday through Saturday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. For more information or to place an order, visit their online ordering page at Toast.
