Happy 12 Year Anniversary to me! 😂 I officially became owner of Vanilla Bean - Two Harbors on July 1, 2014, after purchasing it from the founders, Jan and Paul Bergman, who started the restaurant 28 years ago (May 1998)!

Come visit us during your next trip north to Two Harbors! We are rocking some AMAZING brunch here. 😬🥞🍳🥓

10 Stress-Free Towns for a Weekend Retreat via World Atlas (thanks for the shout out!):

Around Agate Bay, Two Harbors still shows its ore-port origins, where rail lines and Lake Superior shaped the settlement in the 1880s. Start at the Lake County Historical Society Depot Museum, housed in the 1907 Duluth and Iron Range Railroad depot, where photos, rail objects, and ore-trade material explain why the town developed as it did. That context carries well once you leave the depot and head north. Split Rock Lighthouse sets the 1910 light station against cliff and open water at proper scale, and Gooseberry Falls is close enough for a half day, with basalt ledges, main falls, and walking routes that do not turn the outing into a forced march. Superior Shores Resort puts the overnight stay near the water without making the room the main event. The Vanilla Bean Restaurant fits earlier in the day, with breakfast, lunch, North Shore staples, and no performance attached.

Ten northern towns offer easy two- or three-day escapes, with trails, waterfronts, history, local food, and no exhausting itinerary.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation.

As Abraham Lincoln so powerfully said, they gave “the last full measure of devotion” for the freedoms we cherish today. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

From all of us at Vanilla Bean Restaurant in Two Harbors, we extend our deepest gratitude to those who served, those we have lost, and the families who carry their legacy forward.

Today, we remember. 🇺🇸
