About Bogart’s Doughnuts Co.

Bogart’s Doughnuts Co. founder, Anne Rucker, has always loved baking. In 2011, while working as an attorney and running a food blog on the side, she applied for a stand at the Kingfield and Fulton Farmers Markets in Minneapolis. Her doughnuts quickly became a community favorite, and she spent the next three summers at the markets honing her craft. By 2014, Anne became a full-time small-scale business owner as she and her team opened their first shop in South Uptown Minneapolis.

At Bogart’s, quality comes first. Their brioche dough takes about 18 hours to make, and, with the exception of the chocolatey hazelnut spread Nutella, all of Bogart’s glazes and fillings are crafted from scratch. Doughnuts are fried throughout the day to ensure they’re as fresh as possible, and they focus on simple flavors that let the dough and ingredients be the stars of the show.

Made Better Together

As a small-scale, locally owned business, Anne and her team are involved in every step of Bogart’s operation, which is why working with co-ops feels like a genuine partnership to them. As Anne puts it:

“Co-ops understand the work that goes into producing food on a small-scale and place value on quality, transparency, and the people behind a product. Conventional grocery stores can be more focused on volume, uniformity, and price, while co-ops make room for products that are handmade, locally produced, and connected to a larger story.”
