When I'm in the Duluth area, I usually try to snag a treat from 3rd Street Bakery. I normally go…read morefor either their blueberry or raspberry bar but their cookies are a good choice too. My kids (and my wife and I, let's be honest) really love the S'mores cookie but that Thunder cookie is pretty darn good too. You can build a pack of cookies with that day's flavors, 6 cookies will run you $12.50. Cookies are crisp and chewy, a good mixture of soft and crisp. If cookies are not in your diet, there is an assortment of savory breads and breakfast pastries as well. Back to those fruit bars, their blueberry bar is great. Full of fresh fruit with a touch of vanilla, so good!

Love, Love, Love this bakery!!!!! When I travel I like to check out local bakeries and this one is…read moreone of my favorites. I bought cookies and they were big, delicious and reasonably priced. But the best was the Roasted Red Pepper bread, it was to die for. Wish I would have bought more loaves. I asked a lot of questions and the employees were patient and very informative. Can't wait to go back to Duluth for this bakery and many more places I visited. The bakery was homelike and very appealing.

I stopped here on the search for more cheeses for my collection. The selection isn't huge but I did…read morefind some new ones. The section could use more care as there were many out of date cheeses, and one very moldy one right in front; I actually bought one a month past sell-by by choice, as I really wanted the cheese. I saw some cheeses dated as far back as February this year (it's the end of June). The market otherwise looked clean and maintained.

I found some coconut yogurt and THC beverages to take on our hike. Wish there was one in central WI. Friendly staff and service. It's not a huge market but it's got a large bulk food section where you can get freshly ground nut butters! Highly recommend it for people looking for healthy and organic foods.

If you enjoy chocolate ice cream then you have to try the Zanzibar Chocolate Ice cream- It is an International Award Winner for Best Chocolate Ice Cream. If you're more a caramel person then be sure to try The Bleep Just Got Serious; this flavor won 2013 for Best Ice Cream Flavor of the Year! It's salted caramel ice cream, with swirls of fudge, and cashews. Want more of a chocolaty malt flavor? Then trust Troy Johnson the host of Crave on Food Network, he loved our Malt Amore Ice Cream!

I would come here again. Apparently they just opened a few days ago (and opened a new location)…read moreand haven't acquired (or gotten running) all of their necessary equipment. Their soft serve machine and hot fudge machines were not working. Price was reasonable: under $10 for 3 "small" (1 large scoop) cones including a topping for each. The ice cream was specialty and had AMAZING premium home-made ingredients- I had the "yippee skippy" flavor ice cream: peanut butter ice cream with carmel ripples, brownie bits and some (chocolate?) covered pretzels. SO GOOD. I would go back for that alone. The only thing about my ice cream was that I tasted a few icy crystals throughout my ice cream- which to me means it may have melted and refrozen (or crystallized somehow) so it wasn't perfect. I should have taken a pic if their sign. It said basically "Nutrition Information: Don't even ask! We put tons of WI cream, gobs of tasty homemade ingredients so that our ice cream is SUPER YUMMY! Our ice-cream is NOT low-fat, NOT low-anything so if you want nutritious go eat some carrots!" Amazing looking premium unique flavors, one labeled "This $&!@ is out of control" or something like that! They also have super caffeinated ice cream flavors. It is a roadside ice cream shop (like the traditional Dairy Queen/small town walk up to the window) outdoor ice-cream place, plenty of parking and a few outside tables and chairs. They aren't fully up and running, but I would definitely go back!

We had a much longer wait for pie at Betty's, and were lucky to get a parking place at all. It was mobby, and it wasn't even the weekend! There was about a 10 minute wait to order at the outdoor window, and a 15-20 wait for our slices. Most of the people ahead of us seemed to be getting pie shakes. In addition to the apple pie slice, we bought a toffee cream one. We ate it soon after our visit. It was delicious. The pale crust reminded me of shortbread, the filling light, sweet, and creamy, with what seemed to be Heath bits throughout. It was great and surprisingly not filling at all. As for the apple pie comparison, Betty's version was more cohesive a crust and easier to eat, but it was also surprisingly bland. The thicker crust at the edge was dry, too. The fillings from both bakeries were quite close, both good. From Betty's, we liked the cream pie slice much more than the apple. For classic double-crust apple, Rustic was best between the two.

Rustic made the purchase process much faster thanks to their Pie on the Fly truck; our slice was ready in a couple minutes, fork and napkins included. Our conclusion: the crust was flaky, messy, with visible cinnamon, and was delicious. It had more flavor through the crust, which we preferred, though the fillings were similar and good. This was our favorite of the two.

The service was…read morefantastic--our server was knowledgeable about the menu and helpful with explaining portion sizes for sharing. This is an upscale tapas menu, expect small plates and a surprising mix of delightful, seasonal flavors. We enjoyed the trio of dips, our favorite was the muhammara--roasted pepper and walnut with citrus and pomegranate seeds. We added on an extra pita to soak up every bite. Next was the dolma, a delicious combo of flavors and twist on the traditional. The kale salad was perfectly dressed and grilled peach added just the right sweet contrast. The Lake Trout with couscous was outstanding but my favorite part of the plate was the chermoula--a tangy, herby olive oil concoction that I must replicate. The chef came by to talk to us and answer our questions. We each enjoyed a signature cocktail, I highly recommend the Limonada 75, an Italian take on the French 75 with limoncello. We wrapped up our experience sharing the Olive Oil Cake with a rhubarb compote and generous dollop of fresh whipped cream. We will absolutely be back, we have to try the halloumi, which was unavailable, and the pasta at the table next to us looked tasty. There was also plenty of variety for a vegetarian/pescatarian to choose from. Alto Pino is expensive, but worth it. A dinner shared between three people including sharing 4 small plates, dessert, drink, and 20%+ tip came out to about $70 each. You are also paying for the experience of tasting something new and unlike anything else offered in Duluth. Reservations were easy to make online, you should make yours today! PS I'd love to see their twist on traditional Spanish tapas like patatas bravas or pan con tomate on the menu!

Unbelievable how much of a double standard that is to preach love on one sign and hate and exclusion on the other sign.
