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!

Super disappointing experience!! I had heard so many good things about this bakery that I was…read moreexcited to try it! I've heard all about the famous banana flips so that was my first choice! They are $3 each or if you buy them prepackaged two for $5, and they had absolutely ZERO banana flavor. ZERO! I have to assume the baker forgot the extract. It was mid morning so the choices were slim pickings. The person I was with opted for an old fashion cake donut, which had so much cinnamon it was almost inedible. I got a Bavarian cream "filled" Bismarck. Less than half of the donut had filling and it was flat and dense. Super disappointing.

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!

We discovered this charming spot on our way to and from Manhattan Beach Lodge in Crosslake, and it was so good we made sure to stop both times!

We love the Maple Bacon Long Johns! Pine River Bakery is a shining example of why small-town bakeries hold a special place in our hearts. The friendly atmosphere, incredible quality, and dedication to scratch-made treats make it stand out as one of Minnesota's finest. Only wish they were located in my town!

Absolutely the worst cake we have ever eaten. I am…read morereviewing the chocolate cake with buttercream frosting - or they should be real and call it what it is "Crisco frosting" because there cannot be any butter in there - we are guessing Crisco, We like to have cakes from bakeries thinking that they use real ingredients versus grocery store cakes and the quality would be better. The frosting was bad but also the cake was really dry with a strange after taste. Our whole group whose ages range from 14 to 76 years old thought this cake was awful. Everyone thought it was so bad they couldn't eat it. We threw the rest away. My one star review is not related to the customer service but I will also add that who we thought was the owner was very rube when ordering this cake. She also made a very rube comment to my husband when he was picking it up.
