Just bought a rhubarb raspberry pie the other day and it was amazing! My husband and I finished a…read morewhole pie in less than a day and a half! First - the crust is the best one I've ever had. Very tasty with some crunchiness and not too sweet or bland - just perfect. The filling of rhubarb with raspberries was a perfect match very tasty while not too sweet. Last but not least, the pie was supper fresh still hot from the oven and you see the crew working on the next batch of pies. Too bad I'm only passing through town.

Please allow me to present a contrasting opinion…read more To be clear, I love pie. I'm a pie over cake kinda guy. In part, my love for pie has to do with pie crust. And I do realize that reasonable people can disagree on pie crust styles. In fact, my wife and I are two such people. I adore an all butter crust. I love the flavor of butter and how those milk solids get all toasty up there in with the flour to delivery amazing caramelization, crunchy edges, and a crisp bottom. The missus prefers a more tender crust, and that is what Gourmet Garage delivers. So she was happy, but I was left wanting. I also happen to have a super sensitive palate to the off flavors that can emerge from something spending a bit too long in the freezer. My wife, not so much. So she didn't notice those flavors in the crust that further diminished my joy in the pie. L'sigh. We got the pie hot out of the oven. Patiently waited for it to cool down enough so that it wouldn't melt the plastic fork provided by the bakery. The off flavors were there for me at the start, and they persisted as the pie continued to cool down. While we saw the bakery used frozen fruit, as one must to make some off season fruit pies, the freezer flavor was most present for me in the crust. That was the biggest let down of all. After a while I just couldn't bring myself to eat any more. The caramel pecan roll was better. No off flavors. But on that I would have liked to see the roll itself be more tender. Perhaps when fruit season is in full swing and GG is hopping, the crusts are fresher and the pies are better. Regrettably this was not my experience in mid June. Disappointment with the food aside, service was lovely. While the pies weren't quite out of the oven when we arrived first thing in the morning, I deeply appreciated being advised how many minutes out the pies were from being done, and the bravery of taking a blazing hot pie and putting it in an open box so we could have one for the road.

Located on the main drag of Spooner, WI, you will travel inside a small strip mall with just a few other shops. Laura's is located at the very end of the hall with excellent signage. Upon arrival, you will more then likely be greeted by Laura! It's her shop and she wears multiple hats. From baking local goods, taking speciality orders, cashiering, hostessing and cooking - she does it all! A very small interior but everything is made from the heart. Stay for just a moment and you will be provided with a friendly conversation or a hot cup of coffee. My family went for breakfast and got seated extremely quick. The omelettes are excellent and the baked goods are top notch! Outside the shop Laura has a small boutique of little trinkets you can buy as well such as coffee cups, wall art, drink glasses, cookie jars, etc. Come give it a whirl!

Since we have German heritage in our blood, this little shop caught our eye. As you walk you, you are jettisoned into a little piece of German heritage and fun. European candies, specialized kitchen gadgets, Christmas decor, or just the kitschy German/European gift, this little shop packs it all in. It was fun showing my kids the Christmas decorations and explaining to them why we have them in our home. They were finally able to put two and two together of why I put up nutcrackers, smokers, and Christmas carousels as holiday decorations in our house. Now, you might be thinking that I missed out on the most important part - cookies and chocolate (its right in the name). We did sample each cookie and their homemade chocolate covered marzipan. Each selection was super tasty and you could tell they were baked fresh and with love (and real butter). They took my back to some of the cookies my German grandma used to make during Christmas time - pure nostalgia trip. We even picked some cookies up to bring back to my parents so that they could remember by grandmothers cookies as well. Nice to have ways to remind us of people who have moved on. Fun store to look and to purchase a little piece of Europe. Its almost like taking a short vacation... almost. =)
