At Sara's Table Chester Creek Cafe

"We were tipped off to Chester Creek Cafe At Sara's Table by a Duluthian chocolatier who told us that the pies were better than his mother's. Here's a slice of blueberry. Note the coarse grains of sugar atop that flaky crust. The filling is intensely fruity and just sweet enough."

"Sara's offers a different dinner pizza each day. This one's puffy whole wheat crust is topped with mozzarella and chevre, walnut cranberry pesto, and a drizzle of balsamico. Weird ... but very easy to eat."
Michael Stern



"Panzanella salad is a Tuscan dish made with cubes of bread that soften in the dressing as well as tomato, squash, potato and plenty of caramelized onions. An appetizer for two or a very nice little meal."
Michael Stern



"Sarah's strawberry rhubarb pie: an endearing balance of tart, sweet, and a savory crust."
Michael Stern



"At Sarah's Table Chester Creek Cafe ... or is it Chester Creek Cafe At Sarah's Table? Whichever is correct, it is located in a former grocery store, the name for which never was removed."
Michael Stern



"The northland of Minnesota and Wisconsin is a spectacular bonanza of rich cream pies. This is coconut cream, as smooth and pure as alabaster."
Michael Stern



"Golden beet salad is topped with two warmed medallions of chevre."
