It was closer to lunchtime so I got the wild rice meatloaf sandwich with the darkest of gravies. Garlic mashed which I was assured wasn't too garlicky. I appreciated that. I had a few bites of the wild rice soup and it's one of the best I ever had. Basil got a pork schnitzel. The iced tea was in a large glass and strong. Just delicious. I brought home a loaf of cranberry wild rice bread, cause where else would I find it? Also a tiny bottle of maple syrup. The whole pies were eye catching. Can't wait to try breakfast there. I found out they brew their own coffee.

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!

It's not everyday I would be able to convince my friends to go on a 3+ hour drive north to Duluth for this stuff. Visited at the end of May 2025.

We asked if they are planning to open up locations in the Twin Cities and it seems to be unlikely in the near future. Their flavors also differ from each location. The staff are friendly and lets you try out as much flavors as you want before deciding which one you would like to get.

The person who scooped my ice cream was friendly and offered me a cup and spoon in addition to my waffle cone. I really appreciate this since it was a hot day. The only other thing that could be better about this place is if they had one or two non-dairy ice cream options. Otherwise, great spot!

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!

It's also not just the teenagers who aren't friendly. Even a smile would go a long way.
