Doughnuts, croissants and cupcakes, oh my. Those are among the offerings at Kuzina, a new bakery in the former Taste of Love bakery space on Marshall Avenue, just east of Cleveland Avenue in St. Paul’s Merriam Park.

The spot is run by husband and wife team Eric and Olga Shogren, said their daughter/spokesperson Anya Shogren.

She said her father Eric is originally from Minnesota, and the family moved from Russia to Minnesota a few years ago.

The family runs more than 75 pizzerias and bakeries in Russia — a pizza chain called New York Pizza and bakery chain called Kuzina. A little over a year ago, they bought A Baker’s Wife’s Pastry Shop in Minneapolis after the longtime owner was looking to leave the business, Shogren said.

Items from Kuzina are baked daily out of the A Baker’s Wife’s kitchen.

The family is waiting for signage and a few more pieces of equipment to roll in. When that happens, expect additional offerings such as bread and coffee.

Kuzina bakery (2042 Marshall Ave., St. Paul; 612-402-1510; kuzina-bakery.business.site) is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week.
