More Than a Shop—
A Central Avenue Staple

Thick & Twisted started with a simple conviction: Duluth deserves a place where handcrafted doesn't mean complicated, and quality doesn't require pretension.

Every shake we pour is thick enough to hold its shape. Every baked good we display is made with ingredients we'd serve our own families. Our grocery selection is curated the way you'd want it—thoughtfully chosen, locally minded, and always honest.

Located right on Central Avenue, we've become part of the rhythm of this city. Whether you're grabbing a morning pastry before work, picking up dinner ingredients, or treating yourself to an afternoon shake—you're welcome here.

Quality First Every ingredient earns its place on our shelf.
Community Rooted Proudly serving Duluth and the surrounding area.
Made with Care Handcrafted batches, never rushed, always fresh.
