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

Recently we stopped by Bearaboo Coffee on the way from the Twin Cities to Ely and a week later on…read moreour return. I notice that reviews for Bearaboo are mostly pretty old so a new one is needed. We were very pleased with everything - food service and ambiance. First Bearaboo is independently owned - it's not Starbucks - which is refreshing in many ways. The decor is homey. You order at the front, seat yourself and they bring your order to the table. Everyone on the staff seems happy and cheerful and you feel that your business is appreciated. The staff in many corporate establishments such as Starbucks etc appear to not care whether you are there or not. Food was good and I recommend the chicken salad sandwich on cranberry bread.

The virtual sketch is SO AWESOME! I don't like surprises, so I loved being able to see what my cakes would look like before the wedding day.

She put so much work into all the little details of each layer, and it was the most beautiful (AND DELICIOUS) thing I've ever eaten. Thank you, Lyndsay, for being so dang kick-ass!

They are $3 each or if you buy them prepackaged two for $5, and they had absolutely ZERO banana flavor. ZERO! I have to assume the baker forgot the extract.

I got a Bavarian cream "filled" Bismarck. Less than half of the donut had filling and it was flat and dense. Super disappointing.
