Amboy Cottage Cafe

Really creative menu that mixes great flavors and interesting combinations. Food quality was excellent and the sever was sweet and attentive.
Great baked goods! Do not leave without getting a caramel roll to go, you won't regret it.

Great little place. Great food

Simply charming atmosphere and delicious food . Pricing is remarkable. I didn’t have reservation but they seated me anyway. I’m so glad I rode through this town and ate lunch at Amboy Cottage Cafe. It’s worth going out of your way of traveling in this area.

We like the food but the more we drive over for it, the more we get past the honeymoon phase to learn that their costumer service can be... er, meh, a bit.like.hugging.a.cactus. It's losing its flare over the course of time, in spite of well presented food & the nostalgic environment. So it's "not all that and more" once we get past the initial enchantment and romance of it all. We can afford to eat here often however we'd like to offer a little constructive feedback because, in case you're unaware: humble yourselves, please. It's not enjoyable to come here if customers aren't felt welcomed or well received over the long haul - and this is all unrelated to reservations. If this feedback is off putting, it's because your establishment was first off-putting in very subtle ways and it's leaving a bad aftertaste and pushing us away. It's odd and hard to put a finger on it. Maybe one has to be a local or Scandinavian to be consistently well-received here; we're not exactly sure what "it" is: It's odd of a climate that the owners some times create like this; kind of off-putting and we don't appreciate this "vibe" when we regularly patronize. Sorry? It's a romanticized, idealic little place (much like how gnomes are trendy with folklore) but the more we go - well, sadly, each time has only further reinforced that we can eat as well or better at home (healthier) and it's a whole lot more affordable. And, also, saves gas. Or, we go elsewhere. We really didn't/don't want to give up on this establishment but that's the direction it's going for us and we feel bad... but, arguably, sometimes results are earned. This is what we're learning here. And wisdom is gained by experience. Perfectionism isn't required but one can learn from repeated patterns. Had we rated this in the very beginning when we first were enchanted, of course it would of been 5 stars! This isn't a shotgun reply. It's taken several months to come to this realization. Be kind. You never know when you're entertaining angels unaware is really good advise even if a bit cliche, whimsy or flakey. And, if applicable: Never judge a book by its cover. To anyone who's read this far, thank you.

Love this place! It will remind you of your grandma's house!! Charming, small, quaint and cozy! We ate there on Mother's Day and the breakfast was delicious! If you're visiting the area, you have to experience it! But I suggest calling ahead to make sure you'll get a table as the seating is limited!

Lisa does a splendid job in the kitchen of providing high quality food and takes care to make sure ingredients are as locally and as responsibly as possible. Having been to the cottage cafe numerous times, I can't wait to go again- the Germania burger with freshly baked bread is delicious.

Great food! Great service. Wonderful EXPERIENCE! Quaint atmosphere. Great home cooking. A special dining experience. Worth driving a ways for. But remember to call ahead as it is very popular.

Great atmosphere, very good food and selection. You can bring your own bottle of wine... They supply the corkscrew. Will be closed January 1st through the end of the month. I highly recommend it.

Amazing dinner for four of us. Us guys had the German pork chop w kraut & mash! The gals had chicken wild rice soup & rhubarb bread pudding! Exceptional service & what a quaint cottage!!!

Quaint establishment & homemade, organic, and local ( as much as possible) food. I love the raspberry salad pita. Their red cow burger is OK but I've always found it to be too pinky red inside for my liking. Ask to have the home made sticky buns sliced in 1/2 (like hamburger buns) buttered and grilled. Way yummy!!!!;
