🥐 Our Passion: Crafting Cravings, Not Just Goods
At Albright's Delights, we're obsessed with crafting bakery goods you don't just eat—you love.
We begin by dedicating ourselves to the absolute best: the exquisitely buttery layers of our Kouign Amann and our signature Croissants. Whether you're after a traditional pain au chocolat or reaching for one of our exciting, innovative flavors, our goal is to offer a delightful and memorable treat on every single visit.
Truly high-quality, authentic pastries and more. Think about it: when was the last time a simple croissant truly impressed you?
Good croissants are rare because making laminated dough is difficult. It requires patience, expertise, and expensive, top-tier ingredients we refuse to compromise on.
Our Solution: We use only premium European-style butter, and our meticulous process spans two days, ensuring every layer is perfect.
Our Belief: We believe our community deserves an authentic, fresh, and flavorful bakery experience, and we are here to deliver it.
The Founders and Our Unique Delights
Albright's Delights was founded by South St. Paul residents Danae and Ryan Albright. The couple, who share a profound passion for baking, started by selling cottage baked goods to their neighbors.
Their breakthrough moment came with the Kouign Amann—a Breton pastry that laminates dough, butter, and sugar. This meticulous rolling and folding produces a treat with many sweet, buttery layers that caramelize on the bottom while remaining soft on the inside. Besides the traditional recipe, they offer variations with fillings like raspberry cream cheese, caramel, or apple ginger pecan.
Using the same rigorous lamination technique, they then introduced traditional and filled Croissants. Danae constantly creates innovative flavors, with customer favorites including blueberry lemon, almond chocolate, and pistachio raspberry.
Our Commitment to Quality
Danae and Ryan are uncompromising on quality. They continuously seek customer feedback and are avid self-critics. They prefer not to skip any steps, avoid shortcuts, make nearly everything from scratch, add generous amounts of filling, and always purchase high-quality raw ingredients. This dedication is why customers constantly rave about the exceptional taste of their products.
