There are plenty of signs, as this place is kind of tucked away. You will park on the street, but given the fact that this is a small town, parking is not an issue. Walk down and order at the window. They take cash and cards. There are so many options to choose from! From what I could tell, there was one dairy free option (raspberry lemon sorbet, very refreshing!) and they did have gluten free cones as a choice as well. There are a few areas for seating, but I would personally recommend taking a short trail to the left down to the river! There are a few little trails and a beautiful little creek! Very peaceful! All of the ice cream was delicious and the girls serving were super sweet! Note: This city has a siren (sounds like the severe weather siren) that goes off everyday at noon. They also use it to call for firefighters, since there is very little to no cell service in the area! Scared the heck out of us hahaha! Definitely worth going to check out!!

First time in Lindstrom, and was with a group that was excited to meet up for coffee at Lindstrom…read morebakery! Street parking available on this quaint, small downtown main drag. The interior is fairly basic, although it is clean and tidy. With plenty of natural light, wooden accents, and vaguely Scandanavian decor, it's a lovely spot to meet up with small groups. They also have a few patio tables. The staff were friendly and helpful during our visit. The offerings range from traditional swedish and Scandanavian desserts to more American donuts. If you're into something sweet, there's likely something for you here. I was missing a savory pastry option, which was what I was craving! I didn't indulge in any coffee during this visit! The Cinnamon Bun was delicious!

Well known as the town with the teapot water tower just north of Forest Lake. Along with a tasty lunch in Chisago. Places and things we checked out included lots of cute local shops and of course some sweet treats! @thelindstrombakery was worth the trip on its own We tried a variety of things and got some take home goodies. Swedish Almond Cookies (so. darn. good. Had to get some for later) ALL of their donuts were so fresh and light. Highly recommend getting yourself here for treats. Each item we tried was accompanied by slow chewing, serious glances and closed eyes of bliss. Uffdah what a fun day! Hoping everyone can find some Hygge in your days. Hygge (pronounced "hoo-gah") is a Danish cultural concept focusing on comfort, togetherness, and cozy contentment. Key principles include cultivating warmth, enjoying simple pleasures, equality, and mindfulness. It helps reduce stress, improves well-being, and fosters social connection by embracing a slower, more intentional, and cozy lifestyle.
