Best Bakery

Johnson’s Bakery

Baked items are usually best when newer. The same is not always true for bakeries. Johnson’s Bakery was voted the best bakery in the area. Johnson’s Bakery is far from new. “We are just in the process of celebrating our 70th anniversary,” said owner Scott Johnson. “So, it is very gratifying that people have been coming to us for 70 years and we’ve been able to service the Duluth-Superior area”. Contrary to recent thinking, Johnson believes they are a favorite because they do many things and do them well. “We still do most things,” Scott said. “We do everything from bread to buns to donuts, pies and cakes and we carry a very full line of products like cookie bars. So, we still have the wide selection that people are still looking for.” Scott’s son is involved with the bakery as well. They will continue to offer old favorites and keep offering new things. Maybe they will last another 70 years.
