About Us
Great food is all about flavor!
Since opening our doors in 1998, our Mission has always been to create fresh, flavorful food, proudly served to friends and visitors in a casual, welcoming atmosphere with friendly hometown service. Wake up your taste buds today with a home cooked meal at the Vanilla Bean Restaurant in Two Harbors and Duluth! We are open daily featuring our Brunch Menu all day.
Whether you choose our signature Oven-Baked Omelets, Swedish Pancakes with Lingonberries, Bacon Wrapped Mini Doughnut Bloody Mary, or Award-Winning Soups and Sandwiches you’ll find great flavor, value, and service!

Our criterion has stood the test of time. The restaurant has become a North Shore destination. We’ve had customers drive all the way from the Twin Cities on a Sunday morning just to have our Oven-Baked Omelets! Our signature Chicken Wild Rice soup won the “Best Soup Award” from Minnesota Monthly readers. Another regional award winner is our popular dessert – caramel pecan bread pudding with home made caramel sauce. In 2011, we brought home the Two Harbors Winter Frolic Chili Cook-off First Place Trophy for our delicious Pork Tenderloin Black Bean & Green Chilies Chili.
There’s nothing so satisfying as hearing customers tell us they’ve eaten all over the world and our food is some of the best they’ve ever tasted. The comment we hear the most often is how flavorful our dishes are! So, in the words of our own customers, we invite you to stop at the Vanilla Bean Restaurant and “Experience the Flavor!”
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
What People Say
We have catering needs that require confidence and trust to assure food is prepared and ready for our passengers upon arrival for many special events and VIP’s. I enjoy working with the Vanilla Bean staff, and know that they will deliver as promised with a quality level we are proud to serve our passengers.
We have worked with The Vanilla Bean in multiple ways: boxed lunches for tours as well as catering staff meetings and private events. We couldn’t be happier with their excellent customer service, not to mention the delicious food!
Jason and his team at Vanilla Bean do an excellent job of creating quality meals for groups of any size. Our bike and brewery tour guests have commented on the quality of the lunches provided by Vanilla Bean and we plan to continue our collaboration with this wonderful restaurant in Two Harbors.
