New eateries set up shop at malls around the metro The team behind Happy Gnome in St. Paul will be opening Augustine’s Bar and Bakery in a former laundromat on Selby Avenue sometime in October.

The 70-seat restaurant will feature a full bakery and kitchen and will be open from early morning until evening seven days a week, with full-service lunch and dinner on weekdays and brunch and dinner on weekends.

The casual dining menu is inspired by St. Augustine, a patron saint of brewing, and the Mediterranean region where he lived. The team says that the menu will feature flavors like preserved lemon, harissa and saffron and will have more vegetarian options than the Happy Gnome. All desserts and breads will come from the bakery, and Augustine’s will serve coffee from Tiny Footprint, a local roastery that specializes in leaving a carbon-negative footprint.

And of course, because it’s the Happy Gnome folks, the restaurant will serve 40 craft beers. It will also have a full bar.

The address of Augustine’s is 1668 Selby Ave., just a few miles down the road from the Happy Gnome.
