I got to visit the first Three Dog Bakery in Minnesota this week! The Apple Valley store just opened on Saturday and Mom could not wait to check it out, but who would she take along. Being the first visit, she would only be bringing one of us. Madison was the first choice, but then Mom decided with her being so picky, she was not the right dog. Bailie was next on the list but she doesn’t like the car. She offered to walk there with Mom, but that would be a few hours and Mom didn’t have time for that. Guess who was left? Yep, me! I am the lucky pup who got to go to the bakery!
This place is completely amazing! For a scent hound, it is a nasal paradise, not to mention a pleasure for the taste buds. It is more than just a bakery, they sell all kinds of pawsome stuff for pups! Right inside the door, my nose was off to the races sniffing out some of the treats.
It is all super cute and dog themed. Many of the shelves have big bones on the ends. The dog food is in a shelving unit made to look like a dog house.
On one wall, there are endless baskets of chews. Hard to believe, but they have so many good things, I wasn’t able to even choose one to try to shoplift! The other side of the store has more treats, things like doggie shampoo, and a nice selection of dog toys. It is a bakery, but it has something for every dog besides the baked goods.
Have a look at the amazing baked goods! Mom said she got hungry looking at the selection. The baked items are all good ingredients so humans could actually eat them, but Mom decided to pass.
Besides looking so great, they have some really fun names! How about Drooly Dream Bars, Collie Cannoli, Puppermint Patties, or some Peanut Brindle? Let’s just say, choosing treats to bring home for me and my sisters was a tough task for this girl!
We were the only people in the bakery that morning, so we got to chit chat with the owner of the Three Dog Bakery. She is super nice, and we learned a lot about the store. It was time for me to pay for the treats and get back home to do some tasting.
After much thought, carrot cake is what I brought home for my sisters and I to try out. It sure looks good, don’t you think? I wonder who stuck their nose in the photo? Everything is so beautiful, it is hard to believe it is not from a human bakery!
Mom gave us our cake one at a time so we could savor it a bit. No surprise, I wolfed mine down so fast, Mom thinks I didn’t even taste it. Bailie wanted to take her piece outside to eat on the deck. Picky Madison decided the living room would be the ideal spot. It took her a good ten minutes to eat her cake. She licked the frosting off first, broke the rest into a million pieces and then ate the pieces one by one. No matter how we ate it, we can give it twelve paws up! Super duper yummy in the tummy!
I’m so happy to have a Three Dog Bakery near us. We will be stopping by to get treats for special occasions a lot. I’m already planning to order my birthday cake there next month! Madison and Bailie will each get a chance to visit in the coming weeks too. If you are in the Twin Cities, you should stop by. You will be at least as impressed as your pup when you see the place!

Lucky you, Olivia! Now that looks like my kind of shopping trip. Yummy! I would go fo my Gotca Day in 2 weeks if it were near me. Then Puffin’s birthday is next month. We still have Wufers in the freezer from Christmas! XOXO. Sparkle
I’m excited to go there and order up my birthday cake next month. It will be a tasty one for sure!
Lucky Olivia! and it looks like you were a good visitor! Well done! We had a Three Dog Bakery in Denver and mom loved it too–but it was a tiny shop so mom never took us in. That looks like it was an awesome adventure for the baby girl! and she brought home a great treat for you all!! awesome post. have a good day. your friend Lilly
Ours isn’t really big, but there is room for a few people and dogs. Can’t wait to try some more stuff.
What an exciting place to have so close to home. Can’t wait to hear if the other two love it as much as you do.
I’m sure they will. Even picky Madison will like all the chews and stuff that is out there to sniff.
wow that chews!!! we would love to see that store… it’s not just a store it is da doggie wonderland!
If they need a store demolition crew, I’ll call you boys! One needs good manners to go to such a nice store and you guys may be a bit too wild.
You are the lucky one, Olivia! That carrot cake looks soooooooo yummy and I would have woofed it down like you did too! What a nice bakery to visit. We hope that you get to go again soon.
For sure I get to go again for my birthday. It is my kind of shopping!
What an amazing place, I just love that little carrot cake, too cute. What a good girl you are Olivia.
Thank you. The decorating on everything is totally amazing!
We love Three Dog Bakery! Every time we were the guest dog at the AKC Museum of the Dog (when it as still in St. Louis), Diane, the event organizer, would go and get us tasty treats to as a thank you. Thank YOU Diane!!!
To bad they took it out of St Louis. Now Mom says we will never go.
How fun. What an amazing place and I’m glad you got to go.
Have a woof woof Thankful Thursday. My best to your siblings and your wonderful mom. ♥
It was so much more than we expected!
Oh! WOW! We love this post! What a terrific place to go! Cinnamon is in awe looking at that wall of chewies! We wish that there was a place like that around here…purrhaps we can talk our Mom into making more delicious treats.
I’ve gone to pet stores that are nice, but this place is the best ever according to my nose.
Looks like great fun but now we need one for Cats. Hurry now
I’m not sure how it would work out for cats, but they could eat the dog treats.
There was a Three Dog Bakery about 50 miles away from us, but it closed a few years back. We get some of their packaged treats on line, but oh how we would love to go into that bakery!!!!!!
We’ve had their packaged treats, but they are nothing compared to the fresh stuff!
That looks like such a fun shop! Luke would love the carrot cake too I’m sure! We never get any cool shops like that in our area.
It’s the first one of its kind around here. Hopefully it will be a winner.
That’s really a super nice store and I’m glad you all got to sample some of those yummy goodies! Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
We can’t wait to sample some more good stuff!
You are one lucky pup. That looks good enough for a human to eat. 🙂
Humans can eat them, but they are a bit bland for human taste.
What fun! We don’t have a dog bakery, and i am sure our pups would love it.
We are so happy to have one and so close to us too!
That looks AMAZING! We have one in downtown Houston and we want to go, Thanks for showing us it is worth the traffic. LOL!
It is amazing and we are so happy it is just a short distance from our house.
THat is a great bakery! I love that people think of the fur babies. You are blessed that it is near your home too. Your photos are always the very best. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. We are so happily surprised to have such a bakery right near us.
