We're at this shop and it's the last time we were connected to Wi-Fi . we had a cabin at the Minnetonka across the street. ( on with the story). We stoped by the cabin on our way out of town. We went for a long ride into Calumet. We walked along the beach stoped in Lac Labell. My wife reached for her wallet. It was gone. Oh crap the search was on. We raced back to where we had gone. Every penny and all credit cards were in there . We were freaked out. I remembered we had a tracking tile in her wallet We got back to the location the tile said her wallet was. The Thimbleberry shop. Almost dark anticipating waiting until they opened. We asked a shop next door who owned the thimbleberry Thank God he was nice enough to give us the address. Of The owners. Thank God. They We're nice enough to meet us at the shop. As my wife waited in front for the owners to open the doors. I drove the 1 block away to the cabin. And to my surprise her wallet was on the bed. Oh my God. The tile had shown it at the last. Wi-Fi connection. I drove back to the owners house to explain. What had happened. They were in there car heading to the shop to help us out. We couldn't apologize enough to them for there inconvenience. So Thank you so much for your help (God Bless you ).

Calumet changed but also didn't change. The ice cream place was like a little surprise! They had some classic flavors but also some interesting flavors. The staff was friendly.

Top tier artisan ice cream with modern flavors in the middle of copper country? Not something I…read morewould expect, but The Copper Scoop is there to meet the challenge, churning out homemade ice cream right from the machines in the back of the shop. We arrived on a weekday evening, and although it wasn't particularly hot out, the shop was doing brisk business with customers moving in and out at a steady pace. The interior of the shop looks a bit sparse - only two tables and a non-functional freezer sit in the rather large customer area. When I first walked in, I thought the place had perhaps just opened but I was surprised to learn that they've actually been in business for a year. It's a good thing that the spartan ambiance has nothing to do with the quality of the ice cream! The Copper Scoop offer sorbets if you don't want dairy and also nut free and gluten free ice creams. Very forward thinking to appeal to a larger crowd. The only drinks available are Olipop or water, but it looks like they're working to expand their offerings. They also seem to have seasonal and rotating flavors, which makes it more enticing to visit again and again. Medium (2 Scoops), Cup ($5.5) - We tried a couple of samples before we settled on two flavors in this dish: Caramel Butter Pecan on the top and London Fog on the bottom. The caramel butter pecan is amazing. I am not exaggerating - so creamy, so rich, low overrun with no ice crystals whatsoever. It's thick and dense, staying together so well that my first scoop with my spoon accidentally flipped some of the ice cream onto the table. The caramel flavor is exceptionally rich and there's a distinct flavor and feel of butter on the tongue as it melts. There are pieces and halves of pecans mixed in that are toasted, adding a very nice nutty toasted element to the dish. This is easily in the top 10% of ice cream I've had (5/5). The London Fog is a slight step down, but it's still near a top tier ice cream. The ice cream is so fragrant that the strong citrusy spiced flavor of Earl Grey comes out just from the part of the Caramel Butter Pecan that graced the surface of the London Fog. I feel like they don't just steep Earl Grey tea leaves in the cream but instead they add additional bergamot essence, enhancing the overall strength of the flavor For some reason, this ice cream is not quite as dense as the former and it definitely feels like it has a bit more air mixed in (5/5). Both flavors are perfectly sweet - not super sweet so that the flavors really shine. Note: The flavors are quite strong. If you prefer some cream taste in your ice cream, you will be disappointed. The Cooper Scoop has some excellent ice cream and I would visit again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended if you're in the area. Bathrooms - One unisex individual room in the back.

We found this to be a strange name for a restaurant, but we decided to turn around and stop by. Double the ice cream never hurt anyone, especially after a long two days at Isle Royale. As the name implies, Drive-Thru Depot is mainly drive through or pickup only. There are parking spots numbered up to 10 so the employees can bring your food out to you. You can go inside to order through a door on the South end, but it's pretty much no frills standing room only. There are a couple of tables set up outside if you're interested in eating there. While we were there only for the frozen custard, they sell a wide variety of burgers, hot dogs and other food. They also have ice cream, although it's not made in house and is instead from Cedar Crest. We got the smallest amount of custard possible, just to try the place out. Baby Frozen Custard, Pistachio ($2.50) - The baby size is a 9oz cup piled high with custard, with the swirl spilling over the top of the cup. The custard is dense, creamy and smooth with a good sweetness level. It's not quite as rich as some of the top custard places, but handily beats out most places outside of the Midwest. The color is strikingly mint green; before our first bite we were wondering if they gave us the wrong flavor. But after eating it, we found a pleasant artificial pistachio aroma on the tongue. My best guess is that this is probably some kind of frozen custard pre-mix, but hey, as long as it's churned correctly, most custards are good custards. (4/5) Drive-Thru Depot is worth a stop if you're in the area for a quick snack. While we were there, it was pretty busy with customers lining up in the drive through and parked waiting for pickup orders. Bathrooms - Single individual unisex room in the small interior ordering area.

We had the beer battered haddock with a baked potato. It would have been easy for the two of us to share one plate, as it was we each had four nice sized pieces of fish and a nice baked potato. If you are interested in a good hearty meal this would probably make you happy. Our waitress was great, on occasion almost telepathic, as she showed up with a to go box as we were discussing how fortunate our dog was to be able to eat this great fish... absent the beer batter (sorry Lexie)... They had a decent beer selection as well as mixed drinks and wine. The place was neat and clean, but a bit dated. Again, it fit the bill nicely. Maybe some updates would help the place, but everyone else seemed to be having great time. We travel a bit in our RV and enjoy eating with the locals.
