Scandinavian & Cruise Specialists STRONG DOLLAR TRAVEL THIS YEAR (800) 747-9093 info@travelbyscott.com www.travelbyscott.com SoN 6-50 This Midwest gem sets quite the Scandinavian scene - from its striking, crisp decor to openfaced sandwiches and warm espresso drinks. Head to Minneapolis' North Loop neighborhood and you'll spot the cafe in a refurbished brickand-timber warehouse from the late 1880s. If you see a black and white patterned fl oor, geometric wall tiles and bright red chairs, you're in the right place. Accompanied by the counterservice dining room and sister business, Marvel Bar, brothers Eric and Andrew Dayton have put The Bachelor Farmer on the map as a must-eat destination in the Twin Cities. Pop into the cafe to linger over a latte and a sandwich or baked good. Inspired by both Nordic and local cuisine, offerings are simple but special. The pastry selection ranges from coffee cake and semla to sweet sticky rolls and savory scones. And if the weather's warm enough, take your treats outside to a picnic table in the picturesque brick alley that transforms into a beer garden on warm summer nights. 612-2063920, thebachelorfarmer.com/cafe CST 2064367-10 What are you wearing for Midsummer?
