Old School Cafe

Great place for a friendly breakfast, and they have down size portions.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at the Old School Cafe. As a lifelong southeast Minnesota resident, I couldn't believe I had never heard of this place. The atmosphere is perfect for the small town setting and the surrounding gardens were beautiful in early June bloom. The opening salad was accompanied by an expert balance of dried cranberries, blue cheese, mandarin oranges, onion and ranch dressing. For dinner, I had the stuffed pork loin and my wife had the chicken cordon bleu. Both were the best examples of these dishes that either of us have tasted to date. The horseradish sauce that accompanied the pork was particularly excellent. Dessert was wonderful as well. The staff were attentive and very friendly. Very highly recommended and we look forward to going back!

Food was good and portions are larger than expected. I have never left hungry. The staff was very friendly also.

They have always delivered a very wonderful breakfast. The omelet was cheesy and the pancakes fluffy, melt in your mouth. They will be my go to always.

I have been frequenting this gem of a place since moving to Minnesota. Staff are friendly and they take pride in their customer service. Because I am prone to have allergic reactions, I normally stick to what works and not vear from my norm. This family owned business knows me so well, that I really don't have to place my order, they already know what I'll get.....two pancakes (which I never finish because they're so fluffy and filling) with lots of butter and a little syrup and green tea. Same thing every time and it's always delicious. My husband on the other hand tries something knew every visit. Either way, we love this quaint hometown gem and you will too. Just a note, they have specific hours and they only take cash.

Very good food and service; a short drive from Rochester. Take a trip to this historic little town of Mantorville and enjoy. We met a lovely couple married 65 years who volunteer here. Great inspiration to us married 50 years .

I love the setting - literally an old school house! Many school house decorations, too: big roll up maps, George Washington & Abe Lincoln pictures...
The food was first rate and the service was excellent.

If you have never been to the old school cafe your life is not complete. This is my favorite place. The food is second to none. I love the eggs benedick!!!! Cheap prices!!!! The top notch most amazing staff ever.
This is my #1 recommendation.

Very good breakfast and reasonably priced. Cash or check only as they do not accept cards. It is an actual old school house that has been remodeled into what it is today, I would recommend it and will be back.

Great food great people
