Turtle Bread, Longfellow Neighborhood, Minneapolis: It took about five years, but Tosca, which adjoins the Turtle Bread in the Linden Hills neighborhood of Minneapolis, is open — and jam-packed every night. Now, Harvey McLain is once again expanding his Turtle Bread empire. He has signed a purchase agreement to buy a 3,800-square-foot building in the Minneapolis Longfellow neighborhood near 34th Street and 42nd Avenue. Once the deal is approved, he plans to open another Turtle Bread bakery and restaurant. He hasn’t come up with a name for the restaurant or type of cuisine, but expect something tasty and in the midprice range.

I don’t know how I missed this announcement from a few months ago, but, wow!

I like the Chicago Ave location way better than the Linden Hills location, so I’m really curious to see what the Longfellow version ends up. And as many times as I’ve been to that Chicago Ave location, I’ve never been to Pizza Biga or Cafe Levain.
