Central Cafe

Mary Kay is the owner of this establishment and she can cook one helluva good breakfast. She doesn't use menus and just makes you what you ask for but utilizes her years of kitchen experience to make it absolutely delicious. I 100% highly recommending stopping in and grabbing a bite.

Great home cooked meals. Mary K is great and fun to engage with! Will be back often, loved the beef commercial!!

Great little out of the way place! It’s the old bank office I’m told. They’re open from 6am till about 2pm.
Everything is made from scratch - the bread, the cinnamon rolls, cakes, everything.
As soon as you walk in the greeted by Jackie who likes to get to know her customers - so if you don’t want to share or have a friendly conversation, this place might not be for you.
Not sure where they get their bacon, but it’s great! The French Toast is made from their homemade bread as well.

C’est Bon! (It’s Good!)

Great made to order food, small town cafe-friendly staff and a great way to start the day!

The National EMS Memorial Bike ride made a stop in Lester Prairie. The Central Cafe made a generous donation of a wonderful lunch. The sandwiches were fantastic. The bread was unbelievable! The cookies. Wow. Thank you so much. The cafe is easy to find with plenty of parking. It's right across from the Dakota trail. A nice place to stop on your bike ride.

First time here - love, live, love!
Great hometown ambience and amazingly good food! We will be regulars here!

Mary Kay is a wonderful woman. Friendly, the food was absolutely delicious. Most definitely going back for a breakfast time. Homemade bread was awesome, I even ate the end piece. Love, love.

I love the home cooking here. Every table was full today around 10am. I believe Mary Kay is the one cooking, so it took awhile for our food, but it was worth it. Love the Central Hash!!

WOW ....this place has terrific food.
So fresh & tasty.
I felt so lucky to have found Mary & her great Cafe.
Now I have to move closer :)
I grew up in the restaurant business so I know when I have tasted the very Best.
Check it out !

Stopped at the Central Cafe for lunch today. Husband and I split the Reuben sandwich with fries. The sandwich was absolutely awesome, best I've ever had. Meat was tender and flavorful and there was a lot of it. I had read other reviews that the Reuben was good so was an easy decision to order. The fries were also great. Hot with a nice fluffiness inside. So good. We enjoy biking to LP from St Boni so are looking forward to having a paved trail right into town. We will be back!
