Once you're in, it's a really cool space. Bright, energetic, a lot going on in a good way. You've got that steady breakfast crowd, coffee flowing, plates coming out - a fun place to sit and take it all in for a while. I ordered the Nordeaster lobster Benedict with hashbrowns and it was excellent. Big chunks of lobster, perfectly poached eggs, and a rich hollandaise that didn't overpower everything. The hash browns were crispy - just the way I like them. It's one of those meals where every bite is just...really good. You catch yourself slowing down because you don't want it to be over. The meal and experience were really, really good the whole way through. Coffee was solid too - kept it coming and it did the job. Overall, easy 5 stars. Great food, cool environment, and definitely a place I'll go back to.

I'm knocking it down some because for a o.k. breakfast it was pretty expensive. Our 2 coffees, an omelet, and a pannekoeken with a 3 slice side of bacon was $55 after tax and pre-tip. We just didn't feel the value was there for something we could easily make at home. Also the requirement of the servers carrying a pannekoeken out to a table to say pannekoeken every 2 seconds was highly annoying.

Went here a few times during my week's long vacation visiting family nearby. I was told Cabin…read moreCoffees were popping up everywhere around good 'ol Minnesota. It was conveniently located a couple minutes away from where I was staying. Lots of drinks and some food to choose from. I am always up for trying different coffee places when I am on travel. Here they have "white coffee" which she said was a lighter version. I went with a large white coffee with oat milk and sugar free shots of syrup. Tried the chocolate + Vanilla the first trip, turned out to be really tasty. Not too strong of a coffee flavor which was okay with me, but it tasted like marshmellow. I was pretty pleased. The next morning I said to sub in 1 pump of sugar free rasberry, and it was really good too. Kinda like a rasberry crumble. I got that the next day too. The only issue I have here was the prices were different on all 3 visits even though I got the same sized drink (large) and same drink (white coffee mocha with oat milk). I just varied the types of syrups. First day it was around $6.80ish. 2nd visit it was about $7.50ish. But the last day it was $9.25..?!? I was like - what's going on? She said I may have charged you for a medium on previous days - - but there were still $1 differences btwn Day 1 and Day 2. And $9.29 for a large coffee mocha is too high. I live in Austin, TX - where food here is notoriously more expensive that it should be, and I have never paid $9+ for a large mocha drink. I think that's like NYC or Los Angeles pricing. I wasn't too happy about that so I opted not to go back on my last few days. I did not want to pay $9+ for a large coffee drink. But overall the experience was worthy of 4-stars here (well, 3.5 and I'll round up to 4). The service here was very nice on all my visits, very friendly too. The coffee tasted good and they were flexible to switch out the syrups, plus they had 4 sugar free options there. But we gotta get the pricing thing down, it shouldn't be different on all 3 visits and a large shouldn't be $9.29ish.

A friend highly recommended Forager Cafe, which is why I went there with high expectations. Hmmmm,…read morehow can I say this....I was disappointed. I ordered their black and tan beer. A tasty choice (check out the photo). Then I asked for a reuben sandwich with a side of fries. I really liked the two-tone rye bread. There was modest amount of corned beef. Notice I didn't say 'generous.' The kraut, Swiss cheese, and thousand island dressing were a solid compliment. BUT the fries.... Check out the photo and look at the fries. These were double dunked in oil, greasy and sogged out, slightly charred, and meh tasting. I looked over at another patron's plate of food and saw her fries looked perfect. Golden, single dunk in oil, and crisp. Can I add a sad face emoji here? I called over the bartender and had him look at my fries, then look at the other patron's, and tell me the difference. He saw what I saw. I told him what was wrong with mine and asked why. He apologized and said he'd take 50% off my food bill. I saw him go back to the kitchen and have a conversation about my fries, which I appreciated. He didn't blow me off and let the kitchen know they dropped the ball. I've eaten at a lot of places from dives to fine dining, and I think the sign of good eatery is one that can excel at the basics.....like french fries. Plus, when you have your "A" staff working in the kitchen, but your staff sends out subpar fries to a customer...what does that say about the kitchen staff and leadership? Will I go back? Not sure, but there other places I've eaten at in Rochester that are consistently good. If I ever have family or friends in town and we go out to eat, we're not going to Forager Cafe.

There was live entertainment there that evening and the performance was good, however when the volume is such that you cannot have a conversation with the people at your table, it's a bit too loud. I must be turning into my parents.
