Did we mention we have collectively cool humans doing this all for you to enjoy?! Yep, we did!

Amazing Food.

Collectively crafted menu created by chefs with fresh ingredients that make you happy.

This wine has been a cult favorite in Minneapolis since the 1980s golden era of The Loring Café. From hand -picked, estate-grown vineyards certified organic in 1976, you’ll find the soft, earthy aromas of flowering rosemary and wild sage combined with the mountain freshness of the cooling ‘mistral’ produce a wine of incredible complexity with a lush mouthfeel. Eve Cartier, working under the tutelage of parents Luc & Lucienne, produces an astonishingly high-quality wine at an incredible price

Heidi Stark

Founder/Owner

Hi! My name is Heidi Stark and I'm the founder of Kruse Markit. I’m an ex-banker turned entrepreneur (still recovering from my 9-5 days)! I've always been that girl looking for the next best coffee shop, market, and restaurant to try. After joining the great resignation, I realized that Minneapolis didn’t quite have that cool modern curated grocery I’ve had the chance to find in other cities. As I grappled to figure out what was next, I decided “Hey, why not create the perfect place I had always been looking for in my super cool city, Minneapolis?!” I wanted to create a place that all people can gather and enjoy in or outside of the café based on their day that day, and with that Kruse Markit was born. Kruse Markit is from my maiden name Krusemark. I wanted this brand to represent who I am and where I came from. I come from a large family (extended and direct). My goal was to create a place like the home I grew up in which was full of collectively cool humans, great food, and a daily dose of sarcasm which you will see in the design, brand, and the aesthetic of the dining and shopping experience. I hope you enjoy your coffee, beer, wine, and amazing food served, created, and curated by the most collectively cool humans I know! Our team is awesome and will not disappoint. Thanks for stopping by Kruse Markit you cool human!
Fun Facts:
- If I am not at KM I am likely in a gym (somewhere and everywhere) screaming and cheering my son on playing basketball year round.
- I love cabin life! My favorite place to be is on the lake with my husband, Jon, and my sons, Jackson, and Anderson along with my Kruse Markit family and our collection of dogs.
- I have a knack for creating unnecessary projects around the house and at the lake.

Sarah Lee

Chef

Hey there, I’m Sarah. I’ve been working in the restaurant industry in some way or another since I was a teen in Minot, ND. Before that, I grew up running around my Dad’s and Grandma’s restaurants. I love to cook for people, and I love making people’s days a little better with a great experience. I moved to Minneapolis in 2004. I worked as a barista, delivery driver, host, and server in my first few years here. At one of those places, I was asked to be a fill in cook for when someone in the kitchen wanted time off (it was a very tiny kitchen with only 2 cooks!). Once I started doing that, I was hooked. Eventually I went to culinary school and committed to life in the kitchen. I’ve worked at a lot of interesting places since then-Wise Acre Eatery, The LynHall and Surly to name a few, and now I’m ready to run my own kitchen. We want the Kruse Markit menu to have something for everyone. Here, we will focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients and providing options for any dietary requirements. Whether you want to take the night off and be served a meal in our dining area or pick up some fun things from our Markit to take home-we will have you covered. If I’m not in the kitchen, I’m usually at home with my dog and cat working on some house project. When I can, I love to travel, spend time at the cabin, or go camping.

Beth Fisher

Chef

Hello! Consulting Chef Beth Fisher here. Hospitality and cuisine are in my blood. Working in this city, so rich in diverse flavors and talented people, has brought me great enjoyment over the years. A creative force in the Twin Cities culinary scene for many years, I've played key roles in some great restaurants in town: The Whitney Grille, Lucia’s, Wise Acre Eatery, Rustica Bakery, Thirty Bales, and French Meadow Café. A longtime belief in the importance of teamwork, whole food cookery, and local, sustainably sourced foods is at the core of my style. When I’m not in the kitchen tasting, cooking and creating delicious food, you’ll find me in my garden, on a dog walk or fixing up a found treasure. Our team has worked hard to make this space inclusive and unique to the Twin Cities. My hope for Kruse Markit and You is that it will become your go-to place for all things deliciously unique and FUN!

Caroline Glawe

Beverage Consultant

Cheers! My name is Caroline. I am so glad you find yourself exploring Kruse Markit’s website. Careful attention to detail is the common thread weaving together neighborhood coffee shop, fresh market, healthy café, wine bar & bistro to create a groovy spot to gather your thoughts or meet up with friends. Wine is my passion, and I am lucky to have honed my skills in some of the best early wine bars in Minneapolis. Bistros like Bobino, Lucia’s, and Wise Acre Eatery were magical spots to enjoy great food and an incredible glass (or two!) of unique wine. Working with Consulting Chef Beth Fisher on the opening food/wine menus of Kruse Markit has been key in creating a wine list that enhances the fare. So, Chin! Chin! Whatever you’re sipping on reflects the thoughtful intention that is at the heart of Kruse Markit.

Fun Facts:
- Chuck Taylors Hightops are my shoe of choice.
- I’ve worked in St Petersburg, Russia three times consulting on bistros/wine bars.
- My last name rhymes with Gravy.

Kai Baukol

Retail Thinker

Hello! I am Kai Baukol, and I am Heidi’s friend and partner on all things Kruse Markit retail. Having lived in a couple other great cities, I am a proud Minneapolitan and your South Minneapolis neighbor. My partner Michael and I share our lives with our fur baby, Minnie, who is very social and goes with us (almost) everywhere. I’ve always worked in retail, in some capacity, since I was a teenager. After attending the U of M (University of Minnesota all you Michigan people), retail as a career kind of found me. In the past decade or so, I’ve been able to develop a rich professional career working with a wide range of retailers, from independent start-ups to large corporate. While I have dipped my toes in adjacent fields, my heart and most of my experience has been merchandising, buying, and product procurement. I have always had a personal passion for new, emerging, and disruptive brands across multiple categories. Throughout my career, I’ve strived to bring awareness to the smaller brands out there with big impact goals. When Heidi came to me with an idea, I was so honored and happy to help her think through what Kruse Markit’s retail space should be, and how it could service her community’s needs. Our goal is to offer our friends and customers quick solutions, may it be a weeknight easy meal or a sweet and simple gift, that is a bit more special than something you may have found elsewhere.
Fun facts:
- Home Alone 2 and Scary Movie 2 may be the greatest sequels ever.
- Not a fan of cucumbers (I don’t know why) but pickle them and they are great!
- I haven’t seen Game of Thrones and I am not sure I ever will.
