Betty's Pies in Two Harbors

Rating: 9 out of 10

When we arrived at the Voyageur Motel in Two Harbors, there was a menu for Betty's Pies on the wall. I have heard of Betty's Pies my whole life, but had never been there. In fact I didn't even realize it was in Two Harbors. Gigi asked, "Are you looking for breakfast or pie?" And of course, our answer was enthusiastically, "Both!" Gigi recommended both Betty's Pies and Vanilla Bean. Well, we were there for two mornings, so we were able to try both.

We were very excited the next morning. Betty's Pies is just a short drive north on Highway 61 from the motel, and we arrived very quickly.

The breakfast was good, but not great. It was a very basic diner-style breakfast of eggs and hashbrowns. It was good though, and reasonably priced.

But, of course, the star of the show was the pie. So many selections of pie! We had a lot of difficulty narrowing our selection down to two slices. We did agree that one slice of pie per person should be more than enough! But hey, you can see the list. It's easier said than done to narrow it down!

In the end, we decided on Raspberry Rhubarb and Toffee. The Raspberry Rhubarb was absolutely amazing. I love any pie with a crunch topping, and easily could have ordered (and enjoyed) all three of those! In fact, I was so excited about it, I accidentally took a bite before I took a photo!

But really, how could I resist?

The second piece of pie we chose was the Toffee, which was also amazing. It was very creamy, and also very light. There was just the right amount of toffee flavor, not overwhelming and not overshadowed by the creaminess.
Of course, I wish I had been able to to have all of the other kinds of pies. I will definitely need to go back to Betty's Pies soon!
