Maison Rose, a new cafe and production bakery from the team behind Rose Street Patisserie in St. Paul and Patisserie 46 in South Minneapolis, is set to open in spring 2026 in Lilydale.
Chef John Kraus and business partner Elizabeth Rose are taking over the building that since 2002 had been home to upscale Italian destination Osteria I Nonni and Buon Giorni Deli, until both closed in October.
Part of the 13,000-square-foot space will be a cafe, serving various pastries and breads, snacks and coffee. Hours of operation have not yet been announced.
The team also plans to expand the kitchen into a massive bakery production space that’ll become the headquarters for the Bread Lab, Kraus’s wholesale production facility that had previously been located within the old Schmidt Brewery complex on West Seventh Street in St. Paul. The space will also host an apprenticeship program to train professional bakers and offer public classes on bread, pastry and other sweet topics.
Both Rose Street Patisserie and Patisserie 46 will continue to operate as normal with Maison Rose as “an exciting new addition,” the company said in a statement.
“We’ve always believed that food has the power to bring people together, and this next chapter gives us the space to do that on a deeper level,” Kraus said in a statement. “We look forward to inviting the community in to slow down and savor the small moments while helping to educate and inspire the next generation of bakers in the joy of good food made with care.”
Kraus opened Patisserie 46 in Minneapolis in 2010. Rose Street Patisserie opened in 2016 in Linden Hills, but set up shop in St. Paul in 2018 and soon afterward closed the Linden Hills spot.
