Only problem with their pies is they don’t last very long!

Best bakery ever!

An amazing bakery. The line starts forming about 1-hour before they open and they sell out fast! Get here early or everything will be gone. Great pies!

This past Saturday 6/3, it was open from 9 AM until sold out!

What a wonderful place. A cute and small place but that doesn't keep it from producing incredible breads and pastries with tons of flavor! There is a beautiful garden attached where you can enjoy your sweet treats. Get there early though, because things sell fast!

Delicious baked goods in a unique, beautiful old house. Love the yard with the beautiful flowers and decorations. I was hoping for some gluten free options.

Smiling Pelican truly is the center point of Maiden Rock. As Covid-19 made many businesses adapt to reality Smiling Pelican did so as well. They have changed to a Saturday 9am until sold out schedule and boy do they have the following. On one hand I don't want to tell anyone new to make the trip as I don't want to wait in longer lines but I also want people to experience the amazing bakery items they make. So with that I will say I highly recommend you give them a try.

They are open only on Saturday morning, but ALL the locals line up and folks come from the Twin Cities just for the food. The run a smooth operation. You are on your honor to pay for what you take off their porch, no service provided.

LOVE THIS PLACE. Absolutely delicious breads & muffins & quiche & cookies. Very sweet community-oriented atmosphere that is hard to describe but easy to feel. Highly recommend!
Love all the baked goods. We try to get there every weekend!

Waiting in a line, freezing my butt, not a way to enjoy my Saturday mornings. You can't get or see any cake that you want, bread that has no taste is all that is available it looks nice, but has no taste. We like a hearty whole grain New York Salt Rye bread that wakes you up in the morning and delivers power of goodness. However the cookies are fine when available. I have tried a number of times to go there and never any luck to get what was in the past exceptional. That said it is not worth the drive and effort, I now go to Red Wing Bakery, Hanisch. Their pastry is out of this world. I'm sure after the Covid passes you will be able to see what is available in their pastry department and select their fine pastries. That said, The Pastry Chef makes the best pies that we ever have had and awesome cookies. I think they need to learn about Masks, they work. I noticed all the good reviews are only in the past before Covid.

Best bakery hands down but limited hours

Only open Saturdays but people line up before they open to buy. Sadly Jennie Lind took her Cardamom Buns with her.
