Amazing candy, we always stop at the candy store when we are in Northern Minnesota…read more This time we had a unique experience, the older lady who waited on us, tried to talk us into more candy than what we wanted. She also took our turtles and smooshed them all together. When we got home it was one big glob of chocolate, caramel and nuts, not sure why she wouldn't use a bigger bag. She seemed to be having an off day Advised us that all of the nutty ice cream bars were the same, which they aren't. They've changed over the years. They used to be mixed nuts and coconut. Now they're only coconut and peanuts very very good still but they've changed. Awesome place to stop just make sure they use the right size bag so you don't get a glob of chocolate and caramel

Service was just okay…read more Walked in yesterday and experienced cold and awkward service. The shoppe owner seemed a bit indifferent and crass as well. Totally ironic within a sweet candy shoppe. The candy itself was neat -- a few local products and many chocolate truffles to choose from. Plenty of generic candies as well that you'll find at other spots. Although the candy itself was good, it was way overpriced. Just a few pieces of candy cost close to $20. The bottom line? Chocolate truffles were delicious. Decadent and full of rich chocolate flavor. The English toffee looked good as well. I may get that next time I revisit Duluth. Service needs a bit of a revamp though. It's a small little shoppe. You can't miss it if you're shopping and browsing within the area. Try it for yourself if you have a sweet tooth. Here's hoping you have a sweeter experience.

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.

I would say this is a must stop spot. Given the amazing candy art on the outside your kids will make sure you

They have a good selection of fresh made options and a lot of bagged things but the fresh options are much better in my opinion. For example I got the chocolate covered marshmallow and while yes it was way too sweet it was so good LOL. I think there are better chocolate shops in MN but in Duluth this is a good option. I know we'll go back whenever we visit Duluth.

Service was great and staff were very friendly. Offered some small talk which is always nice. For a chocolate lover, so much to look at and want. Haha! I appreciate how they offer samples.... Delicious. Lots on the shelves and tables to purchase as well. Parking is available in the lot close to the store. Unfortunately, the truffles and pretzel rods just didn't hit this go around. They lacked flavor. Disappointing especially because quite a bit of money was spent on those items. We had better much better luck at the Illinois location.

Did not have a huge selection of the original transformers line. But they have a little bit of everything from old video game cartridges to vintage posters. We didn't look at the comic books. The cashier wasn't chatty but answered questions. Parking was a little tight as the lot is shared with all strip mall businesses. I would recommend this store if you are middle aged looking for nostalgia. Not a place to buy little kids toys. It's mainly for collectors.

My own personal mistake should not be a ding against the excellence that is Russ Kendall's Smoke…read moreHouse. Those who listen to my cautionary tale may end up fairing better for themselves should you decide to make the trek and find yourself at this magnificent smoked seafood counter. But first, for the love of god, if you are here you are a stone's throw from Lake Superior which is perhaps one of the best places for fish in the country. You may like salmon. Russ Kendall may do a great job with salmon. But don't sleep on those fish that were plucked from these frigid waters. This mindset had me eyeing the walleye and the jumbo whitefish sections. I wanted to buy both, but this was just one of many smoked fish destinations on my list for the week. I hate wasting food, and there is only so much my family can eat. Despite what others may suggest, I am not about to freeze beautiful smoked fish. My hope was that pieces in the case might be able to be cut down. But those hopes were dashed. I get it. That's fine. Policy. Mess. Time. Workflow. Yadda yadda yadda. The walleye pieces were big, but the helpful clerk found a smaller one just for me. Now, as the fish selection process was happening, more and more people were funneling into the shop. My wife was getting antsy. She wanted me to make up my mind and leave. And she had a point. However, that smaller piece was from the meaty and lean tail end of the fish. In a panic I gave the piece a thumbs up, and the clerk wrapped it up for me. This was my one great regret. Not just of this shopping trip, but of my whole vacation. I should have opted for a larger piece that was fat and juicy. That same helpful clerk did indeed find me a gorgeous hunk of lake whitefish that was delightfully fatty, and eating it made me smile with delight. Of course, different people can prefer different pieces of fish. Just like there are some chicken wing lovers who prefer the drummette and others who prefer the flat. If everyone liked the same thing, the world would be a pretty dull place. I guess what I'm saying is don't panic. Know in advance the cuts in the case are the cuts that are available for sale. Find the pieces that call you. If it ends up being a little more fish than you wanted, so be it. This stuff is so good you'll find a way to get it down without denigrating it to the freezer. For those who need crackers, like my wife and kid, there are sleeves for sale. As far as I'm concerned, those crackers are just taking up space in my belly that could be used for more fish. One last thing. Okay, maybe a few last things. Let's call it a lightning round: This isn't a restaurant. It's a takeaway smoked fish shop. It's small. It's busy. It's efficient. It's a regional treasure. Get there. Eat local smoked fish. Salmon isn't local to Minnesota. Get it fatty. Do not fear heads, or skin, or bones. The good stuff takes a little extra work, but it's worth it! You've got this. Now eat well.

We stopped by right before closing for a really late lunch. There's a good selection of smoked…read morefish. We got a salmon and white fish. We liked the salmon better than the white fish. There is a good selection of cheeses and cheese spreads. I did like that they sell crackers in individual sleeves instead of whole boxes. One sleeve was perfect for us. We also liked the onion and chive cheese spread. They have some fun pickles and jams but the jars are so big. It would be nice if they had some smaller selections of those items for people like us that are picking up something to eat while exploring the North Shore. I was asking for recommendations and didn't get a clear answer and the gentleman helping us seemed put off by our questions. It was our first time getting smoked fish like this. It could have been that there was an influx of people coming in moments before closing. There is no place to sit, which is not a problem. Just putting it here so if can help someone. We thought it was a lunch spot and didn't realize it was more of a speciality store. There was a picnic table/bench right next to the parking lot where we sat and ate.

Can't wait to go back next time we're up!! We have done the tour before the animals are fun. There are a lot of cool things to read about throughout the different buildings! Feeding the fish is probably my favorite part mostly because the fish know that you are going to feed them so they react to people coming by!

The 4 stars are not for the stereotypical souvenir outpost that fronts Tom's Logging Camp. That's…read moreonly where you need to go to pay for a ticket to enter Tom's Logging Camp, the 4-star attraction here. Tom's Logging Camp ($5 per person) is a self guided walk on a trail behind the souvenir shop. It's a peek into what an actual logging camp was like, something I assure you I'd never once in my life thought of before visiting here. It's kind of a fun little stroll. You peer into or walk through cabins that have handwritten explanations of what you're seeing. The signs explain everything from the equipment the loggers used to the food they ate, to the jobs of the cooks and the blacksmiths. It was here that I learned that the Finnish workers, when they arrived on Duluth's North Shore, were the hardest workers but they'd work only in camps with saunas. Tom's Logging Camp erected a sauna, naturally, because Tom wanted Finnish workers. I also learned that loggers were filthy and drank heavily: * In the bunkhouse, a top bunk was in demand as the bugs crawling on you would fall downward, preying instead on the inhabitant of the lower bunk; and * A special cabin has been erected here to let visitors emulate the experience of being a drunk logger. Everything leading to and inside that cabin is askew and somehow, it had me chuckling exactly as I'd imagine a drunk logger might. Boy, did I learn a lot of useless interesting stuff here! As you walk the trail you can purchase food to feed trout then goats and finally, llamas. So come to Tom's Logging Camp to have the fun experience of a llama eating out of your hand, being a faux-drunk, and learning a bit about life in a Minnesota logging camp.
