Wow. Fantastic experience. Was in town for MEA and was heading to get donuts and walked past this place. Still got donuts down the street but added lattes and quiche here. The next day lattes and quiche again, plus scones. The third and final morning was lattes, quiche, scones, a Carmel roll, and two different croissants. I think we found another favorite thing in Grand Marais. Staff were friendly even with the crowds, and the space was nice. We took it to go the first day, but ate in the next two. Awesome addition. Will be back. read more

Pretty disappointed with our visit yesterday. We come through this area a few times a year, usually on our way up the gunflint. We typically enjoy the "last good coffee", or the "first good coffee" here along with a pastry or 3, but yesterday was different. When we entered the store there was a pretty substantial line. No big deal, it *is* a beautiful Sunday morning in Grand Marais after all! So we got in line and we waited... and we waited... and we waited. Only 1 girl helping customers at a snail's pace. Nothing seemed to make her move faster, not even the significant line that was only getting longer. After about 30 minutes in line, it was our turn. After watching her with other customers, not know the product, her slow pace and general confusion, I just made it easy. 3 of the same cookie and 3 of the same drink. Even though thats not what we all wanted, but we were kind of over it. At this point, I made my biggest mistake. I asked if they had any dark roast beans for purchase. She didnt know if they sold beans. She asked the barista who also seemed confused by her question. The response she got was, "yes, and our dark roast is really good". And then she just turned back to me at the register and stared at me. Then the barista kind of caught on and went to get some from the back. When he came back out, I asked if he could grind them for a French press. I had to ask him 4 different times, each time he acted like he hadn't heard me, but also smiled at me while not fully acknowledging me at the same time. He finally asked me and for a 5th time i asked to grind it for french press and He didnt seem to know what that meant! So I said, as coarse as you can. He seemed to understand that. (Or so i thought. Because when I got home, that grind was powdery soft.) He finished grinding the beans, which took way longer than it should have and then began our drinks. We again waited quite some time for our drinks (which has actually always been our experience, so we know to budget a bit of extra time) and when he handed them to me, all 3 were different, zero consistency, and when we took our sips, they were all so sweet that we could barely drink them. When we got back home, I picked up the bag of grounds to get my cold brew started and realized that it was one of the lightest bags of beans I'd ever seen. I would tell you that he left at least half the beans in the grinder. Also, its marked a 12oz bag. $18 for 12oz of coffee beans is a lot.. and then to not get half of even that! To say that I am beyond disappointed with this experience is an understatement. I went to their website to try to reach out to the owners, but theres no way to contact them and it looks like they havent updated it in over a year, so there's that too I guess. read more

I previously rated this place 5 stars and the only reason I'm changing it is because we got two drinks today and didn't care for either of them--which is a personal preference. I for the latte with orange and cardamom and the cardamom (which is a spice I like) was overwhelming. The orange was a nice note, but not enough to balance the cardamom. My friend had the flat white and it wasn't anything special. My friend got the lemon crinkle cookie and said that "it seems like there's a sugar ration up here" Because the cookie wasn't sweet and although it had a faint lemon flavor, she said it wasn't as lemony as she expected a lemon cookie to be. Support this place - just be aware that some of the drinks may be better than others read more

We visited Crosby Bakery to pick up some breakfast pastries to eat before hiking around the state parks for the day. We arrived a little before 9 on a Tuesday and it was full inside. Almost all tables inside and out were taken and there was a small line of 6-7 people ahead of us to order. The line didn't take too long, although we had to wait a bit for a table to open up. Caramel Roll ($5) - I wish this was served heated up! While slightly warm still, the interior pastry is denser and drier than I expected. Especially the rolled and baked bottom that makes a harder crust, while I wanted a roll that was tender throughout. Before rolling, cinnamon and warming spices are sprinkled on, but it's not a very strong flavor next to all the caramel on top. The top is sticky, sugary, and sweet. It's not particularly nutty or toasty caramel in flavor though, which is puzzling given the caramelized brown color of the topping. (4/5) Almond Croissant ($6.50) - This quite a tall croissant, with a large layer of lightly crunchy and crumbly almond frangipane baked evenly on top. It's heavily almond flavored, like tons of almond extract is added into the topping. The interior croissant is laminated very well with an excellent honeycomb structure. It's flaky and crunchy on the outside, and moist and chewy inside although not extremely buttery in taste. There's a bit of paste-like and coarse almond frangipane piped into the interior that has an almost alcoholic taste. Not my favorite filling. (4/5) Crosby Bakery definitely punches above its weight, especially for a bakery in a small tourist town. I did not expect to find such a good bakery in Grand Marais! Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms. Note: Crosby Bakery charges a 3% credit card fee. This is disclosed on a sign at the register. Food: [4/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 4/5 read more

So many choices at this lovely store front scratch bakery. I narrowed my choice to the croissant egg bake. Flaky, buttery, cheese, bacon and egg. The golden brown flaky crust was perfect. It filing and I didn't want it to end. I also had cafe au lait. They do roast their own beans. Popular choices were sticky buns. Carrot cake. Everything is presented so enticing. Trying more tomorrow. read more

This place is busy but so cute! The salted hazelnut latte was delicious and the baked potato soup came with a slice of some of the best bread I've ever had in my life. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area. Plenty of street parking around and walkability is great as well. read more

This is a fantastic addition to Grand Marais. Outstanding pastries and friendly service. Their mini carrot cake is the best deal in Grand Marais. read more

Since leaving this review, we've been back numerous times. I'm a huge fan of their jalapeño cheddar sourdough. The gluten-free flourless chocolate torte ranks up there with the best of its kind anywhere in the world. The coffee specials are always worth trying. If you're not a coffee person, you (or your kiddos) can always try their flavor combos in a steamer. read more

Crosby Bakery - Caramel Roll - perfect treat to have on the trail! - Bakeries Near Me - Grand Marais, Minnesota

A very good selection of pastries to pick from and a good coffee offering too. I had the almond croissant which was right out of the oven and so incredibly good. Probably the best one I've had, and I've tried many! The trail cookie is also delicious (think carrot cake). I sure did wish later on our hike that I had one! We tried the artichoke boat which was good, the seasoning could be a bit salty but that's common with everything seasoning. Definitely a must stop in Grand Marais! read more

Charming modern coffee house with the most delicious baked goods made in house. I ordered the Coconut Cream Cold brew and it was light, refreshing with a hint of cream. Also ordered the Ham/Gruyere croissant and a Danish with a cream cheese and raspberry preserve pillow. These were fantastic, buttery and a perfect addition to a stroll along the lake. Parking was easy to find either on the street or the lot across the street. They are open daily from 7:30-3p- 10/10, check them out! read more

Love this place and have been a fan of Hana's baked goods since she was selling them at the farmer's market! Love the cruffin and their house roasted coffee. I used to love their Maple Pecan cookies and always got one every time I went. But the recipe has changed. They used to be a bit chewy on the inside and a little crispy on the outside but now they are like cake and I can taste the levening, like they used too much baking powder. Please go back to the previous recipe. They were perfect the way they were! I will update this review if something changes. read more

Crosby bakery just opened up in Grand Maris. They have a large assortment of pastries, cookies, coffee and cakes. The croissant we got were buttery flakey and delicious. I highly recommended stopping in for a morning treat read more

Adorable bakery and coffee shop in Grand Marais! I was actually heading towards the donut shop but saw the variety of baked goods in the window and thought I would give this shop a try since I hadn't been in here before. I AM SO GLAD I DID!! I ordered a latte and the carrot cookie for my husband & I got myself a caramel roll. The caramel roll was HUGE! I got full 2/3 way through but I'm no quiter so you can bet I hung out until my plate was clean! It had more of a butterscotch flavor than caramel but delicious nonetheless and sooo fluffy and not hard at all. My husband enjoyed his coffee but was RAVING about the carrot cookie. He doesn't typically like frosting so I was a bit worried (it's a bit like an oatmeal creme pie but with carrot cake cookie) but he said it was the perfect ratio of cookie to frosting. He let me have "one bite only" and made me instantly regret only ordering one. I would agree it was a perfect ratio and had incredible packed flavor that really does taste like carrot cake! read more

Coffee was delicious. Wide variety of sweets and treats, which were also great. We had the gingerbread molasses cookie and danish.

When I am in Grand Marais, I like to stop in at the Crosby Bakery for a chocolate croissant. Their croissants are excellent, often perfect and not pale and undercooked like most. Before leaving the bakery, I like to visit the murder bathroom. Nothing says fresh-baked excellence like a murder themed bathroom. Keep up the great work, Crosby Bakery! read more

Fantastic pastries and baked goods! The croissants and scones are especially good. The coffee was also very good. We also liked the atmosphere with the walls covered with original art work from (mostly?) local artists. read more

Amazing new bakery in the spot that had nothing in it for a long time. My first stop was after they've been open for 4 days and I got one of their fresh baguettes. It was very dense and wholesome in a very nice baguette to accompany my walk around lake Superior. I will be back again and can't wait to try everything on the menu they have nice places to sit lots of desserts and lots of nice coffee options. read more

OMG we loved this place and went three times in two days. The place is clean and inviting and smells incredible. Their scones were just the right amount of sconeness, the quiche scrumptious, and the ham and cheese croissant was flaky and cheesy in the best way. The people were friendly and accommodating. read more

Tried Crosby Bakery for the first time this weekend and loved it! We had an artichoke croissant, almond croissant, and a caramel roll -- everything was fresh and delicious. The building is brand new, very clean, and has both indoor and outdoor seating. If you sit outside, just be aware that the local birds are very bold -- one even landed on my husband's leg! Not the bakery's fault, just something to keep in mind. Overall, the food and atmosphere were great, and we'll definitely be back. read more

One of the best bakeries and espresso cafes MN offers. So fortunate to be able to visit this gem!

WOW! I'm making this shop a must stop at when I drive though town! Husband and I were pretty hungry on our drive home asked him to stop in, they had so many lovely choices, so we chose several items. My favorite was the artichoke hand held pie (not sure on that name), then the almond croissant!!!! My lord they were amazing! The ham and cheese croissant and the quiche, all SO good! Prices were nice, I saw many other items I'd love to try! read more

The carrot cake cookies are SOOO good! The cookie is soft, with just a little crunch on the edges & the frosting in the middle is the perfect amount! The cranberry wild rice bread is also fantastic! I wish I would have bought more than one loaf! We enjoyed the lemon bars & cold brew too. Everything in the case looked delicious, I wish we would have been in the area longer to be able to try more! read more

I tried this bakery out for a mocha and some baked goods. We tried the Ginger Molasses Cookie, as well as a few of their Raspberry White Chocolate Scones! They were so delicious! The scones weren't dry and the white chocolate was a great touch of sweetness. The cookie blew my mind cause of the dried ginger inside, which also added such a good texture. I highly recommend this as a stop in GM, and cant wait to try the Pizza Focaccia next time! Thanks Crosby team! Also loved the Step Brothers art piece in the back. Provided a good laugh while I enjoyed my goodies read more

Such a cute little cafè the matcha was TEA. Run don't walk here. The stuff were so polite.

Above and beyond in every way. We ordered a cake for my cousin's birthday. We asked for a chocolate cake with ganache frosting and a heart on the top-which is exactly what we got. However, the cake was both beautifully decorated with classy sprinkles and swirled chocolate frosting, and also completely delicious. The frosting wasn't overpowering and there was a perfect balance between dark and milk chocolate. We will be going back. read more

The almond croissant I had here was HUGE amongst the top I've had. I loved that it was not sickeningly sweet, just sweet enough and you could really taste the almonds. Incredible pastry.

Love it. I'll be back!! read more
