isles

we have a tradition, ethan and i. since the late fall of 2005, we have been going almost every sunday morning to isles bun and coffee in uptown for our breakfast. this all started when my friend mandi became a sunday morning baker at isles, we went to visit and fell in love with the place, not to mention the great cinnamon rolls and other baked goods. as time passed we discovered our favorite was the coffeecake which is topped with seasonal fruits. we became regulars and the staff knew to grab two pieces of coffeecake as soon as we walked in the front door. we were excited to share this miller tradition with naomi, so yesterday was her first of many trips to isles, as we affectionately call the place. we felt like celebrities when we walked in and all the staff oohed and ahhed over what was once danielle's bump! they even refused to let us pay for our treats! and sure enough, mandi was there, having baked since the wee hours of the morning, she came over and chatted with us as we ate strawberry mango coffeecake and gushed over naomi. here are some pictures you can enjoy and if any of you come to visit us in minneapolis, we'll be sure to take you to isles on sunday morning!
