We discovered this charming spot on our way to and from Manhattan Beach Lodge in Crosslake, and it was so good we made sure to stop both times! The moment you step inside, the warm, comforting aroma of freshly baked goods draws you in. Everything is made from scratch - from their perfectly fried donuts to the homemade breads and soups! We love the Maple Bacon Long Johns! Pine River Bakery is a shining example of why small-town bakeries hold a special place in our hearts. The friendly atmosphere, incredible quality, and dedication to scratch-made treats make it stand out as one of Minnesota's finest. Only wish they were located in my town!

I ordered a toasted bagel + cream cheese to go one of the days and it unfortunately was a little on the cold/lukewarm side. Not ideal but I can overlook that given the overall charm and comfort of the place. Just will be mindful to try something else besides a breakfast item next time.

They also have a great supply of bikes and biking supplies to meet all of your needs when hitting the trails. If you're coming up to bike Cayuna, you have to stop at red Raven.
