Another satisfying visit to Sweeden Sweets. Actually, our best visit ever…read more Our grand daughter lives in Superior. She loves candy and so does grandpa - so we always stop at Sweeden Sweets when we're in town. This visit was more special than all the others as there was a very knowledgeable and kind man working the store (the owner?). He was so kind and so informative. He explained about their freeze-dried candies and let us try them all. We left with a LOAD of candy. Thank you Sweeden Sweets.

If we weren't on a road trip we would have tried the ice cream parlor looks very cool and vintage. The service was good I would have expected very friendly for a candy store, but the young lady that helped us was friendly. They also have a cool make your own pixie stix thing that was awesome! I would say this is a must stop spot. Given the amazing candy art on the outside your kids will make sure you

I'd say it was a shame to eat because the cheesecake was so beautiful, but they were all so delicious! Now I gotta figure out how to get more for Thanksgiving. Pictured: Cinnamon Roll (cinnamon roll dough + icing), Tiramisu (chocolate + coffee + lady fingers), Lemon (lemon curd + whipped cream), Turtle (chocolate + caramel + nuts), Plain (with whipped cream), and Eclair chocolate + cream). I'd recommend all of these cakes.

I had the mint chocolate chip and my husband had the sea salt caramel, both in a waffle cone. It was rich, creamy and absolutely delicious! The waffle is always a must for me and it tasted fresh and so yummy. The service was friendly and speedy! Will definitely be dropping in again!

Oh my... I'm obsessed with the ice cream from this place and am heartbroken at how I could not find…read moreflavors like theirs anywhere else. It's not everyday I would be able to convince my friends to go on a 3+ hour drive north to Duluth for this stuff. Visited at the end of May 2025. Ordered the honey lavender and goatcheese honeycomb flavors. Again... I'm heartbroken that this place only has locations in Duluth. We asked if they are planning to open up locations in the Twin Cities and it seems to be unlikely in the near future. Their flavors also differ from each location. The staff are friendly and lets you try out as much flavors as you want before deciding which one you would like to get.

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!

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

I confess, I almost always order the Gnocchi with Gorgonzola cream sauce. I add shrimp and mushrooms. Little pillows of heaven. Awesome. Next time I am going to order another dish as my husband's choices have been stellar too. And don't skip dessert. The cannelloni is delicious and the gelato amazing too. You can even pick 2 flavors.

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. Our reservation was at 4:30 around 5 they dimmed the lights - setting the vibes, I love that. Great experience!

Beautiful setting with ambient lighting and a fire pit outside at night. Cozy outdoor seating. High quality unique ice cream flavors. A bit pricey but worth it for for ingredients.

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!
