I spend a considerable amount of time in Northwoods coffee shops.
Whether I am researching or writing about Paul Bunyan, you can always bet I’ll be huddled up with a cup of hot apple cider and a sweet of some sort.
Enter, Joe Jitters Coffee House in Moose Lake.
45 miles south of Duluth off 35, Joe Jitters boasts that they no ordinary Joe (pun absolutely intended).
Quickly becoming one of my favorite places to write, Joe’s has a host of coffee creations, bakery and food items they make in-house, and smoothies.
It is the perfect place to grab a cold press and a raspberry scone and spend the day.
They are also connected to a boutique that sells a multitude of things including second-hand items.
You can find all kinds of trinkets, baubles, jewelry, and home goods.

If you are in the area, make the drive, you can bet it’ll be worth it.
