The cold brew was very flavorful and their sugar free syrup was very good and not artificial tasting. The maple bacon scone was crispy on the outside and a little dry, but flavorful. Service 5/5: the woman who helped me was very friendly and helpful. Ambiance 5/5: plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for which ever climate you're looking for. Overall this is a solid place for coffee and baked goods if you're in town!

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! The moment you step inside, the warm, comforting aroma of freshly baked goods draws you in. Everything is made from scratch - from their perfectly fried donuts to the homemade breads and soups! 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!

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.
