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!

Very small, cute bakery tucked back of the lake and up the mountainside. I always mean to hit it…read morebut finally had the stomach space for some pastry and bread! The baker who checked me out was really friendly and happily answered my questions about availability and some day-old loaves (they have discounted day-olds!). Went in to get a baguette but it turns out they're an "occasional" item so I'd call ahead to ask. Ended up getting a couple things I'll note below. I'd probably put them around the quality Duluth's Best Bread but I like supporting a much more progressive place that gives back to the community. - An almond croissant that was solid for the price. Not mind-blowing, but wasn't too dense like a lot are. The flavor was really good. - A loaf of the day-old multigrain that was still excellent. Used it for toast and as a vessel for some A+ salmon dip from Northern Waters - Dog treats! It was neat seeing the fundraiser and always love getting a snack for the dog. They're not smelly, made from simple ingredients, and the pup loved them

Was hunting for any open coffee shop (hopeful for pastry too) on New Year's day and stumbled upon…read morethis bakery. They had a huge variety of pastries and breads and I went with a Caramel Pecan Roll and a Ham & Cheese Croissant, both very yummy tho the roll could've easily been shared by one or two more people. I also got a Caramel Latte which I didn't have high hopes for because this place looked like primarily a bakery but I was pleasantly surprised, it was decently good. I will certainly stop here again if I am ever in need of a baked good in Duluth but there were a couple "We can refuse service to anyone" signs that gave a slightly weird vibe to an otherwise warm and friendly looking place.

I loved the prosciutto topped with Gorgonzola and fig - it's the best combination. Ian was our server he was awesome, thankfully we were able to get a table today, the last time we went on a whim they were slammed so I highly recommend you make reservations.
