Egg-Cetera Cafe

Will never patronize this restaurant. When walking to the door, they have a sign stating that masks are NOT allowed unless you have an exemption. Its one thing not to implement a masking requirement in your private business. It's entirely another thing to actively antagonize those that feel more comfortable wearing a mask indoors in a restaurant until they are seated.

Also they declined to serve my party 1.5 hours before closing. Many open tables present but said there wasn't enough room.

Eggs benedict and hashbrowns were good.

A good place for a great breakfast. Even with my own personal poinsettia at the counter this morning.

We had a small group of people show up on a Sunday morning only to be turned away and that we could go to McDonald's. The lady who greeted us at the door was rude and not welcoming. Unbelievable! We try to help out small local businesses in the area when we come to town and stay away from chain restaurants, since they were the most impacted by covid. Needless to say we went elsewhere for breakfast (Pangea Cafe) in downtown Waconia. We were welcomed with open arms, great service, and great food. I can't even review the food since we're weren't served, but the experience was enough to never come back. We will however go to the Pangea Cafe next time we're in town.

Best breakfast in the SW metro area! Have tried the pancakes, crepes, Belgian waffle, & Denver omelet. All delicious but the Denver is my favorite. Haven’t tried any of the non breakfast items- keep meaning too but love the Denver too much! Friendly staff, the owners are always there with a smile on their faces. Fun decor.

Good size restaurant. Not many customers when we arrived at 9:50 am on a Friday. Service was prompt and pleasant. Food was hot and tasty. Only complaint was that I specifically asked that my hashbrowns be brown and crispy, response was "no problem," and they were pale and soft. Otherwise a great experience

Food was as expected but nothing to write home about. "Corned beef hash" is just your average store canned stuff thrown in a frying pan for a few minutes. Kiddo liked the giant pancake for breakfast, wife seemed satisfied with her french toast. They didn't have any form of fruit (fresh or canned) available which isn't shocking but a bit disappointing. Pretty much everything is available as an upcharge (sausage for the kids meal instead of bacon, an extra packet of jelly, etc) if you need it. They're big sthick right now seems to be bucking the "masks required" state mandate which makes a lot of the locals super happy. I couldn't car either way honestly but if you're worried, be aware and probably find another place to eat.

Special enough to take your out of town family to? Probably not. Good enough for breakfast when you're done with a Friday of drinking with the buds? Probably.

The breakfast was good, the omelette portion was huge and tasty.
The coffee needs improvement. Breakfast places should serve better.

My wife and I were looking forward to dining her since the reviews looked good and we love greasy diner food. Walked in and the restaurant was half full. I was thinking great we can eat quick. Was approached by the server or owner and she said there was a 45 minute wait. I paused and looked around one more time and was like really? The cook call off? She said no its just a 45 minute wait, the grill is full of food and slow. Hmmm. Not buying that reason being a veteran to the restaurant business. Half the dinning room looked served and empty. It didn't make sense but I sure got the feeling our business was not welcome. I have my suspicions as to why she discouraged us from wanting to eat there.

I'm amazed! If you're looking for a quick, cafeteria style breakfast this is the place! The food was good, the coffee filled my soul, the service was friendly, and the prices were not bad at all. Actually, I hardly spent anything for 3 people. Try the eggs Benedict with sausage. I know my arteries hated me, but my stomach sure loved me!
