I've been coming to the Lockport for nearly 30 years (and I'll be 35 in just a few months). The…read moreowners, Nan and Deb, are usually around, either in the kitchen, at the cash wrap, or chatting with customers. In years past you could find their kind pup Gunny hanging around. When you're here, you're at home. It's got the homey diner feel with great breakfast options (lunch too, but I'm a big fan of their breakfasts). I love their French toast, but my partner swears by the Nate plate (if biscuits and gravy are your thing - don't miss this option). It's also a great stop to fill up on gas and get some groceries or basic needs (just in case you forgot sunscreen). Regulars keep custom self- designed Lockport mugs hanging on the wall (if you find Lonny's, that's my dad). The rest of the staff at the Lockport are just as lovely as Nan and Deb. If you're driving past on 61, don't miss out on this little stop. If you want to enjoy the outdoors, you can also sit on the deck and enjoy the hummingbirds. I want to add: Things are not fast moving here. That's the beauty and the joy of the North Shore. If you want New York pace, this isn't the stop for you. Patience is a virtue. Embrace the culture of the shop. It's not a traditional restaurant. Water is serve yourself. If you want something from the grocery side for your meal (soda, Gatorade, etc), it's serve yourself.

The ambience can't be beat! Fun little place to stop and have breakfast or lunch. There is also a…read moregood selection of essentials in the general store and some good touristy gift options. Everyone should stop at least once to experience it!

The service here is top notch - each time I've been in, the store staff member has been very helpful in finding things. This last time, when the firestarters were out of stock, they gave us extra paper bags and old newspaper. Selection is a bit limited, but that's to be expected for a general store. They have a decent variety for grocery, and some other home essentials. The last few times I've been in, they've been out of firestarters - which is one of the only things I come here for! Besides that, this is a great spot to go if you forgot something or need to pick up a few things during your North Shore stay.

We have stopped here on two different trips up North and BOTH times have been treated so rudely by…read morethe cashiers!! We will NEVER step foot in this business again! You can tell they do NOT appreciate the visitors and could care less if you do business with them!! Drive a few more miles and stop by Clearview General Store in Lutsen!! They are very friendly and actually care about your visit into their store!!

The local grocery is very handy. I only needed sugar for my coffee that I get every day from…read moreWorld's Best Donuts. But I'm picky about sugar. They had raw but I didn't want that much' But for an extra buck I spotted Lars own Swedish Pearl Sugar in a 10 oz. bag. It's really all I needed for the trip so that over my cheapness won out. Large, white grounds like you've never seen. Well, hell if I didn't stop and pick up 3 bags for the trip home. I'm not gonna be without this stuff. I was able to help a guy fine some vanilla cause things kinda get buried in this aisle. I asked him if he wanted pure or the junk? He gave the right answer and was very grateful for the help.

A great spot to stop as you make your way up north!…read more It's right off highway 61, there is parking lot right next to the store and in case that one is full there is another one across the highway. There is a crosswalk but be careful, people drive quick! The space itself is small, no tables inside just a counter for ordering. It looked pretty busy when we got in but our food was ready in about 15 minutes. It was delicious and we will definitely make a stop next time we are in the area.

Groceries. Fishing bait and tackle. Unfortunately, the day I want the coffee machine was not functioning. And the coffee shop next-door was not open mid week. It's a gas station too. Located right next to the post office in Lutsen. There's not much else around. They have some cold sandwiches that you can heat up in a microwave, but no grab and go hot food. No fresh pastries, or donuts, everything is premade and packaged. A decent store with some nice variety.

I previously rated this place 5 stars and the only reason I'm changing it is because we got two…read moredrinks today and didn't care for either of them--which is a personal preference. I for the latte with orange and cardamom and the cardamom (which is a spice I like) was overwhelming. The orange was a nice note, but not enough to balance the cardamom. My friend had the flat white and it wasn't anything special. My friend got the lemon crinkle cookie and said that "it seems like there's a sugar ration up here" Because the cookie wasn't sweet and although it had a faint lemon flavor, she said it wasn't as lemony as she expected a lemon cookie to be.

This place has ice cream like ice cream should be. Have not had ice cream this good in a long time…read more The only thing is the price. It was about five dollars for one small scoop. (can't remember exact price but around that) Which seems a bit high for ice cream, but it was good, I'll give them that! Would stop again, but bring some cash... it will put a dent in your wallet.

Super sweet experience here…read more I was given two scoops on accident, very happy accident there:)) I got to try a honey flavor, and pistachio as well. Everything tasted so real and homemade! Great stop if you're in this cute town. It's located in the center of everything, and feels like a good reward after exploring all the local shops. Loved chatting with the employees as well, and really enjoyed this rest break on our long travels!
