About Rustic Inn Cafe
The Rustic Inn is a pie and breakfast stop in a log building on Highway 61 well north of Two Harbors, out along the shore toward Gooseberry Falls.
It belongs with Betty's Pies in the small category of North Shore highway institutions that people plan a drive around. For anyone considering a lakeshore property along this strip, these places are a real part of the calculation: the strip has no grocery store and almost no year-round commerce, and what it does have is a handful of highway businesses whose seasons and hours you learn.
Hours are not published on a source this guide can confirm, and shore businesses shorten sharply out of season. This entry also rests on an area directory listing rather than a first-party source, so treat the operating status as unconfirmed and call before you drive up.
Good to know: pie, breakfast, lunch, log building, North Shore highway stop.
