The best bakeries & sweet shops in Osceola

“Just up the road in St. Croix Falls, Auntie Mar's Hilltop Donut Shop turns out the classic "Uncle Donuts" lineup alongside seriously good coffee, plus Frozen Fritter Kits you can bake at home. Apple fritters, twists, and old-school rings that taste like Saturday morning, any day.”

“Valley Sweets is that cheerful, candy-packed nook locals hit when a little sugar therapy is in order, with nostalgic and old-fashioned treats like gummies, lollipops, and salt water taffy. They also scoop Chocolate Shoppe super-premium ice cream in handmade waffle cones, which feels like a small victory lap.”

“If you like your dairy without the weird stuff, Crystal Ball Farms bottles non-GMO, vat pasteurized A2 milk in glass the same day it’s milked, with farmstead cheeses to match, and cows that are treated like family... rumor has it Cookie and The Doughnut Snatcher steal the show.”

“A quick hop from Osceola, Pleasant Valley Orchard and Cidery keeps it simple and delicious with Minnesota-grown apples, a cozy apple shed, and a bakery turning out classic Apple Pie, hand-dipped caramel apples, and other treats, plus pumpkins and big St. Croix Valley views.”
