Loved the waitress - food was 🥰 perfect!
Excellent food, great atmosphere and service. Oh, and the best coffee I've had anywhere, ever.
Great service. Great food. Great experience
Made an impulsive stop here on the way back to Minneapolis from Duluth. Saw the billboard and took the exit. Was not disappointed. Super cute restaurant with an attached gift shop. Pretty view of the lake across the interstate too! I had 3 eggs scrambled, sausage links, and pancakes. The eggs and sausage are what you would expect. The pancakes were velvety delicious with an incredible flavor. Probably some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had!
Kalevala hash is fantastic. Big food portions. Some of the best hollandaise sauce I’ve ever had.
A small town cozy cafe with respect for food. Every dish is made with love. If it's not in your area it's worth the detour.
They have a funky breakfast hash that is absolutely to die for
Made from scratch pies.... Just like home
My daughter wanted to stop in being she never been here. I was a little hesitant because I’ve been here before. I ordered the chicken strip platter. I was not impressed. Processed strips cold garlic mashed potatoes and the bun was hard. Waitress never was back to refill drinks and the price was outrageous. Will never be back
This is a must stop in Moose Lake! Super warm and cute welcoming charm. Plenty of very comfortable seating. They offer various crafts, gifts, and goods for sale too. The things I was most excited about is that food items are made from scratch! Even the coffee beans are roasted there and ground fresh before brewing. Yes, you can buy coffee beans from them. They use real cream, butter and, for an upcharge, real pure maple syrup. They also boast homemade jam, fresh bakery goods, and Kemps ice cream. I've been here twice now. I didn't ask, but will next time, about what else can be ordered that's not on the menu. I inquired on oatmeal and they do have it, different types too, but I opted for the steel cut. If you order a bowl, you will not go away hungry! I got mine with sides of cream, brown sugar, and crazins. The only thing I can think of to suggest would be walnuts for some crunch. My 2nd visit I had the apple wild rice pancake and bacon. It was very good. Not as filling as oatmeal but pleasant. One more strip of bacon would be nicer. You are looking at around $15 to $20 for breakfast all said and done so it's not exactly cheap but I feel worth the quality as a treat but maybe not a multiple time a week visit, my personal opinion of course. Be aware, they do add on an "optional" 12% gratuity to be split between all staff. Who is going to ask it be taken off though? Kinda stinky in my book. Anything you tip beyond that goes to your server. (I just like to be in control of my tipping and not feel like it's a way for owners to skimp on wages and place that burden on their patrons. We also already get a mandatory charge when you use credit cards most places as well. Aren't these things cost to do business? I just don't like having to do math with all the add ons and upcharges to figure out what my bill will be. Rant over.) I'd like to try lunch sometime but I don't think my schedule will ever allow it unfortunately so maybe someone can update with that. All in all
I had the apple wild rice pancake, best pancake I ever had, nice hometown feeling, nice atmosphere, friendly service ,I'll be back for sure 👍
Looks like your average small town Cafe. But the food will surprise you. Unique, tasteful revisioning of Cafe food, and it is worth getting off the freeway and getting a bite of their wonderful food.
Had an omelette with wild rice and it was so delicious!! Perfect MN meal. Very good french toast as well. Very nice staff and cute gift shop. Didn't get a chance to try the pie but it looked yummy! Will definitely be stopping again.
What a delightful gem! Allergy friendly! Pleasant caring staff. Awesome food! Homemade bread and pickles!!! We will be back! As well as everyone we were with!
A really cute place with delicious food. We stopped in on a Saturday morning for breakfast. The food was perfectly cooked, the service was fast and friendly. There's even a cute little gift shop, coffee beans and pie!
Love the cafe and gift shop - always go home with a loaf of cranberry wild rice bread or two!
Me and my sons went here to eat and were staying at hotel across street and was awesome and gas station was connected to this place
I had the Northwoods omelette with the berry bran muffin, both were excellent! Good strong coffee too!
French toast was fantastic, ham and cheese omelet was ok, its eggsactly what you would expect. Service was slow even though there was only 6 tables including ours and all but one table only had 2 people at them. Store was cute and had trinkets. Bummed they only offer whole bean coffee for sale.
Wonderful stop on the way to Duluth! The food is good, comfort diner food. Highly recommend the breakfast platter with housemade cranberry wild rice toast. The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming, and the wait staff were very fast and friendly.
