A very friendly and patient worker helped me get a good mix to try (kids like that the frosting was different flavors). I would recommend trying Luna Donut if you liked the original donut star off cliff road that Mark or Jill owned several years ago then you will like everything about this classic donut place. It is worth a drive if you live in the south metro. Owning an independent donut shop is a labor of love and all about the local community. My family was fortunate enough to continue Marks legacy and have that experience while we owned the original Donuu Star several years ago. I plan to visit this local gem on a regular basis and hope you give them a try.

On a weekday afternoon, it was mostly folks like me, out to buy a few fresh items. I could see the weekends being busier with families. The orchard has nice grounds to amble through, some tractors to climb and pose with, wagons to borrow, and a beautiful outdoor seating area. I found my apples and also picked up some honey. There were also jams, cheese, apple sauce, salsas, coffee, and wild rice options. Freshly baked goods and hot and cold apple cider were fall favorites as well. The orchard is only a short drive off the freeway so stop in and check it out.

Rich, ultra-chocolatey, moist, and absolutely a chocolate lover's dream. I loved every bite. The gal who helped me was friendly and welcoming. She answered all of our questions. My only suggestion? Consider using boxes or different packaging for certain items. The whoopie pie was placed in a bag, which made it tricky to get out without smearing that precious frosting everywhere--and I definitely don't want to miss any of the frosting, it's my favorite part! Otherwise, everything was fantastic. Can't wait to try more from Sweet Kneads!

The bakery staff are friendly and even though there is often a long line, they get you through it so quickly.

The decor is so fun and full of town history including benches from Red Wing pottery, old shops from town, and even old bakery equipment. They also have a small deli that has more lunch choices and a coffee shop with gourmet options or just a simple cup of self-serve coffee with about a dozen flavor options. It is a wonderful place to sit around and visit while enjoying your sweet treats. We stop almost every time we are in town and even make the trip on some lazy Saturday mornings from the Cities, They have won many awards and one trip will explain why.

They also have Gas Pumps for my 1986 station wagon. This is a gem in the town of Northfield and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else besides the attic of the Casey's Gas Station.

It's not dirty; and things are stocked accordingly.
