Hans’ Bakery in Anoka, shuttered in 2010, is nearly ready to reopen, according to its Facebook page.

The bakery was purchased by Kelly Olsen, who appeared on Food Network’s “Buy This Restaurant” earlier this month. She chose the traditional German bakery to start her own business after looking at three spots in the Twin Cities area.

The bakery had gone into foreclosure and was in serious disrepair — thieves had even stolen the space’s copper pipes — but after months of renovations, it will reopen Feb. 22.

Olsen plans to bring back the traditional German recipes that made the bakery a destination — rye breads, pastries, Black Forest tortes and its famous beehive coffeecake, which features a custard filling and almond topping.

The bakery’s new website shows photos of the recipe cards used by original owner Hans Birkner, who died in 1998.

The bakery also will add lunch options, including soups, salads and sandwiches on fresh bakery bread.
