    Lost Creek Adventures - Sunset on Basswood Island where we camped overnight.

    I went recently on an overnight kayaking trip with my two sisters - joining six other visitors, and…read moreled by two guides, Maddie and Karalyn. My experience level is kayaking a few times a year on lakes primarily, though I have done ocean harbors and coves also. Our group included some with more and less experience than that. The guides ask for your input ahead of time on what experience you are looking for, and dietary restrictions, which is great. Based on the weather forecast, our guide recommended we consider tandem kayaks. We normally prefer single kayaks but took the advice and were so glad we did as it absolutely helped in powering through the wind and waves of Lake Superior (and the presence of the rudder meant a relatively low amount of coordination required between the two paddlers). The Lost Creek team also quickly acted to put together a plan B when our initial trip to Sand Island was nixed due to a small craft advisory. We ended up going to Basswood island instead. I appreciated the water exit training we did before the trip. The food provided throughout was excellent. Our sights included a seastack, an arch, and a shipwreck. Most of all, the guides ensured we had a fun, safe adventure!

    This was a great paddle out to the caves near Meyers Beach. Abby and her associate were very…read moreprofessional and provided all the necessary safety precautions and kayaking techniques. I've kayaked AK, HI and the San Juans (WA) and this was the best! It's a very short bus ride to Meyers Beach so you don't waste a lot of time getting on the water. As a side note, I later learned from another type of boat tour on Madeline Island that there are a few pretenders in the kayak tour business but Lost Creek is considered by locals to be one of the best!!

    Had a great take out experience here. Excellent coffee (they love whole milk which is a huge plus)…read moreand if that's even possible, even better pastries. They have a good selection of chilled canned drinks as well plus some food items like yogurt. The space is wonderfully diverse in terms of seating. They had the front window open to the street where you can sit. Inside is an area where people can sit with their kids. The service was very friendly and helpful. The vibe is warm and very welcoming. Know that their baked goods come from Duluth Best Bread which does not always deliver like after a holiday. Parking in a small lot behind the building or on the street.

    190 Coffee & Tea is such a gem in Duluth. Definitely a must stop if you're in the area…read more The space is so cozy with plenty of seating, which makes it easy to settle in for a bit. It has that welcoming, open window feel where you can grab a drink to go or sit and relax. They've clearly put thought into making it inviting. The coffee is excellent. I ordered a vanilla latte and it was super smooth with the perfect amount of flavor. I love that they make some of their syrups in house, you can really taste the difference. It feels thoughtful and high quality. The staff is friendly, patient, and helpful with recommendations. Overall just a really pleasant experience from start to finish. Such a great spot to hang out, grab a drink, and explore the nearby shops. I'd absolutely go back.
