Tobies is not only home to a great bakery, but also a restaurant and tavern it also has a gas station adjacent to the store for those looking to grab and get back on the interstate to continue their trip up to the North Shore, or back to the Cities from a fun weekend 'up North'.

On top of the delicious cinnamon rolls that are baked fresh daily inside the bakery, Tobies is also known for an international delight. Tobies is also the home of potica.

Potica, according to Andrej's Potica's website, "is an original Slovak recipe handed down within the Gadzo family. For decades, we have been wrapping moist walnut (or poppy seed) filling into thinly-rolled sweet bread and then baking until it’s soft and rich."

^^Sounds like a Kolacky to this former resident of the Kolacky Capital of the World^^

Now that you know more about Tobies, the next time you are heading North or South, and you see the signs along I-35, take 15 minutes to stretch your legs, grab a cinnamon roll, and head back out on the road to continue your adventure, you won't regret it.

(pro-tip make sure you've got some napkins on hand so you don't get your car all sugary from the icing.)
