Great coffee - better baked goods! My caramel roll was absolutely doused in caramel. Wouldn't have it any other way! Microwave in the space let me reheat it to the perfect temp twice (ha - I'm a slow eater). Cool that you can see the lake through the trees. I bet that patio is beautiful during the warmer months! read more

Coho Café & Bakery - Carmel roll and coffee with a view of Lake Superior! - Pizza Near Me - Tofte, Minnesota

The bakery items we chose (raspberry danish and cinnamon twist) were very good. Disappointed to see when we came in that they didn't have a great selection of bakery items. We've heard a lot of good things about their caramel roll, which was completely out at 8am. The barista was nice. The inside of the cafe was super cute. The coffee was not my favorite, so I think I'd try something else if I came back. read more

We spent a wonderful, but quick long weekend up in Tofte, and we had to check this place out on our way out of town, thanks to the recommendation have a good friend. They were so busy when we walked in the door, with a line of at least 20 people! The energy was bustling, and the employees were moving fast. It seemed like it had already been quite a busy morning, because several of the pastry options were out of stock. But we were more than satisfied to end up with a giant pecan caramel roll, a chocolate twist, a cheese danish, and some coffees. The manager noticed that the chocolate twist was broken, so he told the employee at the register to give it to us for free. We did not expect that, but it was an incredibly kind gesture! Everything was delicious, and the people staying to enjoy their food inside all seemed relaxed and happy. Highly recommend! read more

This place is a must any time I go to the north shore. Great food, friendly staff. Really caters to the outdoor tourists visiting the area by having sandwiches to take on your hike. Highly recommend! read more

Very nice little cafe conveniently located right off Hwy 61. Great northwoods decor and vibe. Service was good. Order an omelette. Everything was perfect, including the hashbrowns and bacon. They serve Duluth Company Coffee which was also excellent. The bakery items looked delicious, but trying to loose weight. read more

This was a solid cafe in Tofte. There was a good variety of food for everyone. The soups and salads and sandwiches are the best bet on the menu. The pizza is mediocre and the walleye was pretty good, but we've had better. The service was friendly and the place is cute overall. read more

Call of the Wild pizza sounds way better than it is! I keep ordering it every visit thinking it will improve, but it continues to be limp, doughy and tasteless. Person changing out the coffee was munching on a bakery treat while doing so and lots of yelling and laughing and messing around in the back which was just odd. This place used to be amazing! read more

This review is for breakfast. When you enter, you take a menu from the rack to decide on your meal and order at the counter. Beverages are self-serve but they deliver the food to your table. Service was quick and pleasant, food came quickly, atmosphere was also pleasant. The problem was the food. I had an omelet with mushrooms, onions, peppers, spinach and cheese served with hash browns and fruit. My husband had the wild rice sausage gravy served on biscuits with 2 eggs. Not sure how you can make an omelet with all of those ingredients so bland, but they managed to do it! I never cook with salt, even on eggs, so it wasn't that my taste buds are used to overly salty foods. The hash browns were soggy and cooked in oil that had a flavor that did not complement breakfast. My husband's biscuits were rubbery. About half of the fruit was good, the rest was not ripe. All in all the only disappointing experience we had on our whole visit to the North Shore. read more

Aimee and I stopped in for lunch after climbing Eagle Mountain, the highest point in MN. Aimee had the Reuben - it was delicious, came with pickles and chips. I had the grillen chicken sandwich spicy, with carmelized onions; also good. Great view of Lake Superior from the dining room, and the cafe' had a nice feel. We were there off-season, so it was quiet, as was the town. Such a pretty ride up, and Eagle Mountain was worth the climb. Drove by the iron ore processing plant, which brought up Gordon Lightfoots' "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald'. Given that it was late November and a storm was approaching, it was very apt. All in all, a good lunch; there are other options there we'd like to try before we go back. read more

Quaint little cafe in Lutsen, MN with a lot of character. We walked in at around 8:45am on a weekday and there was a line of about 7-8 people ahead of us. A testament to how popular the place was. The restaurant has places to sit and eat but the format is to order at the counter and take your table number for the servers to bring your food. It took some time to get through the line but once it was moving, it was smooth sailing. I ordered the poached egg potato skillet and my husband got the dos estilos omelette. Both were so delicious! We also split a cinnamon roll (not as sweet as traditional cinnamon rolls but still good) and we got coffees as well. The coffees weren't as sweet either but nothing a little sugar can't fix! Absolutely loved the food. It was better than expected and very comparable to food in the Twin Cities. The server who offered my daughter a high chair was very accommodating and kind. I'll definitely stop in again when I am in Lutsen ! Only docked a star for the slow moving line in the morning. However, the food came out quickly (within 10 mins after we ordered) so overall it was a great experience! read more

Sweet little cafe in Tofte near Lutsen! One of the few cafe options in the area, so it's typically pretty busy for breakfast into lunch and you may catch a line and a wait. They offer some nice breakfast and lunch options in a casual setting. We waited about 15 minutes in line to order, but once in, our food was out to us in 10 minutes. Our table got the breakfast sandwich, Turkey club, and clam chowder - some of the bread was fresh baked which was lovely! The chips were too stale to enjoy. The gluten free cookie for dessert was delicious! There are a handful of indoor tables, and then some on the outdoor patio as well during the warmer months! Again, anticipate a wait for a table during the busy hours. One of your few options for cafe breakfast/lunch and a coffee nearby, and they do a pretty good job! read more

This was a really nice place to stop - they have some great outdoor seating. The food was good, even better than we expected. It took a while to get the food but not terribly long. They had take & go items and made to order. read more

Very average. Everything was okay. Service was nice. Coffee good. Neat atmosphere. I just wouldn't try again.

We swung by this morning right after opening. We were promptly greeted and ordered at the front counter. It took about 15 minutes to get our food, but we enjoyed the patio. We ordered the breakfast burrito and pancakes. The burrito was great Anne big enough to share! My boyfriend said the pancakes were average but thought the syrup had vanilla & cinnamon in it which was a nice touch. Casual dining spot with many pastries as well. read more

So the food was good, my daughter was not a fan of the compote on the French toast. I was served an everything gluten bagel sandwich, the cashier assured me it was gluten free. When I told i would vomit if she was wrong, she took it away and replaced it with GF bagel sandwich. I wonder how many other customers she has lied to. I don't mind being teased about my allergy but lying to see what happens, that is new. read more

Delicious food in a cute location. I had the chicken sandwich, which was excellent. My wife enjoyed the half turkey sandwich with soup, and the kids loved their quesadillas. The macaroni was tasty, though a little rich for a kids' mac and cheese. My wife also had a chai latte that was fantastic. The food came out quickly, and the service was friendly. The only downside was how busy it was--we had to clear a table ourselves just to find a place to sit. Otherwise, a great experience overall. read more

Ate a hearty breakfast here before doing some hiking on the North Shore. Breakfast was excellent. It's a first come first serve model, so stand in line to order before you find a table. I opted for French Toast. Three large pieces of sour dough bread, a bit of fruit compote, and two perfectly cooked crispy slices of bacon were delivered. It was excellent. Husband had a cinnamon roll which he said was very good. The place was busy on a weekday mid morning. There are tables on the patio but it was a bit chilly for outdoor eating. Service was excellent I'm not the biggest fan of standing in line to order, but their process of ordering and getting a table number for delivery worked well. Food was delivered when it was ready so it was hot for the entire table. Great food and good experience. read more

We enjoy the Coho Cafe when we visit the North Shore, and food is very reasonably priced for the area. When we stopped for dinner tonight, it was very busy and they seem to be short-staffed - looked like only three staff front of house for counter orders, serving, bussing, etc. so it took quite a while to have our order taken and to get the food. One recommendation for management is to make the ordering/line situation more clear. We've usually ordered at the counter and been sent with a number to find a table, but this time we waited in line, and when we got up to the counter and said we were eating there, they said they had a table outside for us, and sent us with menus outside. It was at least another ten minutes before someone took our order. We were confused why they wouldn't have just taken our order at the counter, or if the line was just for to-go orders...? But there was no other way to get a table. Maybe they were just short-staffed, but it was definitely confusing. It took about 40 minutes to get most of our food, but they forgot some of our food, and it was another 10 mins before we could flag our server down and ask. She had not noticed that she was missing an entire meal, but the food was hot when it arrived, so that was good. Everyone enjoyed their meal! If you don't have hungry kids with you, it's a solid spot most of the time! I think we just caught them on a rough night tonight. read more

I really love Coho. It's definitely one of my favorite places to stop and eat at while on the north shore. Today I got half a sandwich and soup. The tomato soup was really good, as well as the sandwich. The coffee wasn't that good but it did the trick. I got a cafe au lait, and wouldn't get it again but I think their other coffees would probably be better. The inside is super cute and feels like a cozy old cabin. Their desserts also look reallyyyy good, but I didn't get any this time. Overall I really enjoy stopping by this place and would recommend it for lunch. read more

Good pizza and fresh ingredients. Ordering is a little confusing and staff is run ragged. Super busy place.

We ate here 4 times in 2 days while in Lutsen, it was fantastic every time. Especially the desserts.

I'm sorry to say, but unfortunately, this place has not lived up to its previous reputation. I hadn't been here in a few years. The service was Soso, and one gluten-free cookie was $3.05! I had to ask the individual behind the counter three times to repeat the price because I could not understand him. I couldn't believe one medium size cookie was over three dollars! I'm sorry, but I can't recommend this place anymore. I don't know if they sold or what but whoever is running the biz needs to get back to the basics. read more

Good location, restaurant is cute. No wait staff (cashier, cook and person who brings food to the table). Limited menu, food is very nondescript and way overpriced. Decaf coffee was not good. They expect a tip for no real service - it's more like a fast food venue. There are better options in the area - our mistake to stop here. read more

Great food but not worth catching Covid! I look forward to hearing that you've started enforcing your social distancing rules so I can update my review and start supporting your business again - thanks! P.S. I did talk to a member of the staff and they responded "all we can do is suggest people follow the policy and they have basically been giving us the middle finger" read more

Great place to stop on the north shore! Had coffee, hot chocolate and pastries. The maple pecan danish and lemon danish were amazing!

I'll start with the good: the Lemon Berry Mascarpone cake was terrific. However, Eggs Benedict was just okay. The salmon was good, but the ham appeared to be three thin slices of lunch meat, which... whatever. I'd do that at home in a pinch, but I expect more in a restaurant. My milk for my latte was scorched and steamed far too long. All in all, okay, but from previous reviews, I have to say I was disappointed. read more

Popular bakery and cafe along the North Shore Scenic Drive. There was a line or 5-7 people at dinner time. They close at 8pm, so no late dining here. The service was friendly. The food took about 20-30 minutes from the time of order. The "large" pizza is advertised as 14 inches in diameter but is closer to 15-16 inches. The pizza crust was doughy yet crispy on the outside. Overall, it was decent but lacked an evenness of topping spread. The wild-rice saucage was unique and salty. Overall, a fine less formal choice for the area. read more
