Pine River Bakery

Where to begin? The decor? 'Cause ~who~ doesn't choose a bakery for the decor? It's adorable! Welcoming and warm. The owners made great use of a tiny space. Okay - so now you're curious of the team. Fine... FRIENDLY! HELPFUL! They ~~know~~their products well. They're not pushy, but will offer suggestions on taste and texture. Now for the good stuff....The Italian bread cannot be matched for flavor, tenderness and palatability. Lightly ~ ~ LIGHTLY toasted/warmed with a smidge of butter? Ooh la la! Or should I say Delizious? Old fashioned or cake donuts? MWAHHH Consider inviting a friend to share half of their ginormous Apple fritter. The are good-oood! Affordably priced. Clean inviting shop. You cannot go wrong!

ABSOLUTELY love this little bakery! Was here for my first time and will be coming back next visit to MN.

Best soup and baked goods. I drive over an hour out of my way to come here. It's a destination. And I follow them on social media to see the features of the day. Best bakery in Minnesota.

Very cute small town Bakery. Chocolate Donuts and Cinnamon Roll was very good. Very nice and fast service.

Excellent donuts/rolls... I called ahead and asked for an assortment for my workers who were working a Saturday for me. She put together a nice box and they were so awesome! Well done.

Often if you arrive after 10, the options are slim and staff are tired. The donuts are not lard fried, but the icing isn't too sweet. Overall, decent stop.

Cookies were amazing and the Reuben soup sold out. Oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookies were excellent

What an awesome gem to find for our stays Up North. Wonderful pastries, cheerful staff, and incredibly reasonable prices. Will be back next summer, and would like to try the soup, too.

If you're traveling through Pine River, the Pine River Bakery is an absolute must-stop destination. This hidden gem embodies everything you love about a small-town bakery and truly showcases the best of Minnesota's baked goods.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!

terrible hours! The donuts are super sweet and quality is just OK. The only thing I thought was pretty good was the soup.
