We stopped into Sparta for the Bike and Space Museum and were pleasantly surprised to find Ginny's. We really liked the atmosphere- kind of like eating lunch in the kitchen section of a thrift store. We mostly had soup and sandwiches. The soups that we tried (White Chicken Chili, Potato Cheddar and Italian Pasta) were good. The sandwiches were fine, and they had a vegetarian option, which was nice. They also had fountain coke and diet coke, which is getting hard to find. Stop in if you're in town! read more

The food is good but not exceptional. The resturant has a very classic style to it that I enjoy very much. Also the soad foutain is pretty cool too. Service is just like every down to earth place, good and very kind people. read more

Stopped here while on a road trip out west by recommendation from the internet.. And definitely wasn't disappointed. Such a cute place inside with antiques everywhere. Two young boys working front of the house and they were handling it well! They had soups and sandwiches and freshly made milkshakes and it was just a great little diner in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin! read more

Paid $4 for a cup of iced milk that was supposed to be a chai tea latte. Our coffee drinks were very syrupy tasting as well. read more

Ginny's Cupboard - Sandwiches Near Me - Sparta, Wisconsin

Great little spot! I avoid chains and seek out places like this when I travel. Veggie panini and tomato bisque were fabulous.

I moved to the area about eight months ago, and Ginny's was one of the first places my husband and I tried. To be honest, we have had difficulty finding restaurants in Tomah and Sparta that aren't chains or fast food, which we don't like to eat that much. But Ginny's was a nice surprise. We've had their sandwiches, soups, pastries and ice cream, and all are yummy! The only drawback is that their business hours are kind of limited, so it's sometimes hard to just drop in when you want something to eat. But I would say it's worth it to make plans to go there. read more

We stopped by on our way up to Minneapolis and it was definitely worth driving a few miles off of 90 for. Like stepping into a time machine. Great sweets, good food, nice people, fun atmosphere. What else do you need to know? read more

The roast beef and mozzarella on rye hit the spot. They have different soups available daily.

Delicious coffee locally roasted and homemade soups, sandwiches and baked treats....the perfect stop on the way home to Minneapolis. Unique atmosphere featuring a 1957 soda fountain and vintage 50's tables & chairs and cozy wooden booths along the wall. The staff was welcoming and kind, with genuine smiles for all who walked through the door. Tasty chicken chili chased away the chilly weather and came with a generous cup of crisp little oyster crackers. Ginny's is a gem...don't miss it! read more

I only had time for a cup of coffee and a muffin, but I'd definitely go back to try a full meal. Loved the décor and the service was pleasant and prompt! read more

I travel literally every day and visit coffee shops and diners frequently, this is the first to truly capture a 1950's soda fountain vibe. Sparta, WI pops out of nowhere and this was the top recommendation for lunch. Wide variety of lunch options, even for you vegan hippies, with a long list of solid hot/cold drink options to match. This place is the bees knees. Ginny's the best. read more

Had to go off the path to go to Sparta's and to Ginny's, but worth the effort. Really nice group of young guys run the place. Very sweet small town atmosphere. They make their pies, bread etc... They also make milkshakes.The Sparta trail is only feet away and it is a Trails to Rails bike project. read more

Really solid diner in downtown Sparta. Super cute location with great soups and sandwiches. If you're stuck at McCoy and want something other DFAC food, this is your spot. Get the Reuben, stay for the ice cream. read more

This is the best local food place I've ever been to. The staff is ridiculously friendly and courteous. Also, the best malted milk shake I've ever had in my life. Delicious and worth the stop for sure! read more

Well worth the stop! Cute, cute, cute place...Lots of homemade goodies and tasty coffee.

Fantastic place! Very cutely decorated, and fabulous food! Soups are the best ever!

I love this little restaurant! It is a classic small town restaurant with a vintage vibe. They have a nice variety of soups, salads and sandwiches for lunch as well as Kickapoo Coffee (a personal favorite). The staff is super friendly although not super speedy, but that just adds to the relaxed, vintage charm. read more

Prices here were well worth the food, though not expensive at all. The food is delicious and the ice cream is to die for! The staff was helpful and friendly. Almost every lunch option comes with a choice of bread and everything we tried was so good we had to order extra. Yum! read more

My husband and I spent the day in Sparta and found Ginny's Cupboard to be perfect for us. We were able to order healthy food choices, delicious ice cream, and get organic espresso. The deck was small and there were people smoking out there, so we ate in the eclectic dining area. The food was very good and the homemade soup was extra good. When we saw the other dining choices on the street were fast food or "greasy spoons" we were glad we ate at Ginny's. read more

Excellent salads and we loved eating outside enjoying the sunshine and people watching.

Authentic home cooking. The White bean& chicken chili was excellent. So were the paninis on their home made bread. Service was a bit slow so I wouldn't recommend if you have impatient kids (or adults). The coffee was very good. read more

Ginny's was easy to find in the old downtown area. The parking is easy and plentiful. The restaurant is cute inside and we had alot of fun looking at the old Susy Homemakers and other kitchen toys around the restaurant. Two boys were running the front. We were greeted nicely enough. We ordered the pumpkin sausage soup that was amazing good, the cheddar potato was average butnot hot enough. I ordered the chicken salad on whole wheat, which was sliced too thickly for the amount of chicken salad and the bread was too hard. Seemed like it was from the day before. My husband enjoyed his grilled beef panini. I wanted to love this place but after a trip to the bathroom I was a little discouraged. The toilet needed to be clean, we were there at 11.30am on a saturday so I was surprised it was already dirty. And little details like a really disgusting dirty garbage can in the bathroom make a bad impression. I would tell people about this place but I wouldn't highly recommend it and I really wanted to love it. read more

We go through Sparta on our way to Ft. McCoy, but seldom stop in town. Yesterday, my spouse and I decided to take a day to drive and poke around the area. I had been to Ginny's about a year ago with a friend, so I knew what a treat it can be. My husband loved everything about the place. The service was quick, the staff was friendly, the food was better than delicious, and the atmosphere really helped our attitudes after a couple of long, stressful weeks. After our meal, we even brought home a loaf of their vegetable bread to relive our memories throughout the weekend. Can't wait to share Ginny's with friends and family. read more

Stopped for lunch while bike riding the bike trail. Had great sandwiches, soups, & malts. Really worth your stop if in the area.

The food is very good. It is a basic menu. Paganini's, sandwiches, soup and a full old fashioned soda fountain. The service is slow though. There are a lot of old antiques on the wall, so very Americana. It is a quaint, kitschy place, so definitely check out if you are stopping through Sparta! read more

The food is fresh and delicious. Great place to go when you are in the mood for soup and a sandwich. I just wish the service was better.

Ginny's Cupboard has a great atmosphere and a focus on quality ingredients - baked goods with no preservatives, premium ice cream, locally roasted coffee, and freshly made entrees. My favorite is the Rueben panini, and the soup is always good and made from scratch. read more
