We walked along the river to have breakfast here. The inside of the cafe is very cute (and air-conditioned) and we placed our order at the counter. My husband got a breakfast sandwich with sausage and I tried the yogurt with strawberry sauce. We both enjoyed our breakfasts and also tried iced lattes. We ate on the patio out front and they brought the food to us and checked to make sure everything was good. read more

I have traveled back and forth from the Twin Cities to Winona and whizzed past these fun coffee shops. Finally started stopping and am having a great time. Heidi's was rocking midday on a Thursday. I got an iced latte for the road and it was great. With so many freshly baked items, I also had to have a large sugar cookie. Loved the almond extract flavor. So soft and delicious. If you have time to stay, grab a table with plenty of indoor seating as well as a lovely porch and patio to enjoy the Lake Pepin sail boats. It was just so cute and cozy. Service was fast. On street parking was easy to find. Great stop. read more

Absolutely adorable little cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Breakfast menu includes all the classics. Super friendly staff and welcoming environment! The breakfast burrito and skillet were very tasty and large portions. We couldn't leave without trying some of the sweet treats as we noticed almost everyone was ordering them. Some of the best coffee cake and red velvet cake we have ever had!! Putting it on our list to come back next time we're in the area! read more

Cute little place along the Mississippi River. We ordered omelets that were delicious and so huge we had to take half home. Everyone was very friendly and prices are fair. Delicious cold brew to complete the meal. read more

Such a great place! Excellent food. Large portions. You won't leave hungry! Freshest baked goods I've had in a very long while. I plan on always stopping here when near the area. i would make a special trip to eat here. read more

Your mug will never run dry here. Great service. Good selection of food. Seating is often limited because it's just seems to be what everyone wants. Just added a new winter seating section on the patio. read more

I met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast (Men At Work) There's no need to fear any strange ladies working at Heidi's Huggamug, where servers embrace you with open arms and warm smiles that will melt the iciest of crabby night-owls' countenances in the morning. Friendly, enthusiastic service is key, as many customers turn into regulars...and often into repeat customers within the same visit, checking out goodies at the counter like delicious muffins, cinnamon rolls, and cookies. Sorry, there's no Vegemite sandwiches here, folks! Menus are located up at the counter where you'll place your order, grab your table stand number, and wait for a table inside or outdoors on the patio to clear out. During my latest visit, my nephew chose a Belgian waffle to split with me. Topped with powdered sugar, chocolate chips, strawberries, and whipped cream, this gigantic Belgian expat is a guaranteed delicious hit! Muscles aren't the only good thing to come from Brussels, you know! My mother ordered her favorite go-to, the half order of a fluffy cheese and ham omelet. There was still more leftover than she could finish, but that's Minnesota portions for you! For beverages my mother enjoyed a caramel latte, and my Mint Bliss left me elated! My nephew gave high praise to his chocolate milk as well, declaring it even better than the ones I concoct for him. Clearly I'm lodging a dispute in this matter. Overall, I highly recommend this café for coffee, cake, and cookie enthusiasts, Jean Claude van Damme, waffle and omelet lovers, and those who need a caffeinated hug in a mug. 4 stars, and hugs and kisses. read more

We went to Heidi's for breakfast this morning and wow was it a nice place to eat. The servers were so nice- something we have found everywhere in this area- and even tho there was a line, it went fast. This is a order at the counter spot with them bringing the food to your table. The coffee and tea we ordered was great, and the breakfast was so good!! They gave both of us a LOT of eggs in our dish. I had the burrito- no meat please and my sister had the dairy free version of an egg bacon and hash browns breakfast. Very l tasty. The restaurant was clean, and regularly tidied up. The food came fairly quickly and it was very fresh. We were checked on a couple times. It was a very casual and comfortable place to have breakfast read more

I took my two nieces to Heidi's Huggamug for breakfast and we loved everything about this well run establishment. The service is great and the owner Heidi is always zipping about asking if you need anything and answered all our questions about the menu. She recommended the biscuits and gravy. I will be back with my Dad so he can have these.Definitely well seasoned with nice black peppery spices. The coffee and tea selection is extensive and also delicious. I like how you can order half an omelette or half an order of biscuits and gravy.. Hidi also has several fresh baked goods daily that are ready to go if you want to just grab a coffee and a cinnamon roll. Wonderful atmosphere casual and cozy. Beautiful setting on the lake with outdoor seating as well. I'll be back for lunch someday soon. read more

Great restaurant. Best coffee cake around and they'll heat it up for you friendly staff. I highly recommend the place.

Good food. Happy and friendly service. Routinely come from Red Wing to get breakfast here. 10/10 would recommend

Wow, the most perfect BLT ever, delicious chips and coffee. Way to go Heidi! You're awesome!

Cute spot. Food was fine. Speciality coffee drinks made promptly. Staff is very nice. But oh my gosh - we waited 45 minutes for our breakfast. It didn't seem SUPER busy. But it did seem perfectly acceptable and that this is the norm. read more

Food was hot and delicious! Portions were ample and even my toasted bagel was hot enough to melt butter which is unusual well done! They even offer egg whites in their egg dishes!!! My only thing I would change is to get staff to consistently close outside door behind them consistently when weather is cold to keep food warmer. Friendly staff great food! read more

Yummy breakfast, and great service! My friends and I enjoyed the small local cafe feel.

Every town should have a place like this, and is lucky if it does. A great place to grab coffee, breakfast or a quick lunch alone or with friends and family. Nice breakfast and lunch menus, and always a selection of freshly baked goods like muffins, cinnamon rolls, coffee cake, etc. Nothing fancy, just a nice selection of simple, basic foods and meals done really well. Attractive, spacious dining room. Outdoor seating in season. Friendly people and good service. Plenty of parking. Easy walk to the marina, beach and downtown. read more

I don't often post reviews but this was so beyond good, I just had to post. I was in Lake City yesterday for work and some local teachers recommended Heidi's. I got the Chicken Bacon Ranch wrap and a slice of their coffee cake. Let me tell you, that wrap was among the best I have ever eaten. Delicious to the last bite. I ended up saving the coffee cake and bringing it home with me. I ate it this morning and let me tell you, I was dancing in my kitchen from the first bite. Can't recommend this highly enough! read more

Excellent service and breakfast! A newfound jewel. Will definitely be back soon......

Heidi's is an absolute gem. Wide selection of coffees, teas, and specialty drinks, AMAZING food - the biscuits and gravy are amazing. And you cannot leave without some baked goods - our family favorites are the frosted cookies and anything with lemon! Clean, cozy dining room and outdoor seating available in the warmer months. Absolutely wonderful service - the staff are great! Heidi (the owner) is one of those amazing people who makes everyone feel welcomed and like they belong. "Huggamug" is the perfect descriptor for the environment she has created! read more

I live in Phoenix AZ but my daughter, husband and grandson live in Lake City. Everytime I visit we go to Heidi's at least once a day for great coffee and delicious home made treats...muffins, desserts etc. I even bought some to take home to my husband they are so great! Heidi is always friendly and welcoming and makes you feel like family. Love this place! read more

Wonderful coffee and chai. Pastries looked wonderful and the breakfast tacos were delicious. Definitely a repeat visit when I'm Lake City.

Wonderful coffee shop with breakfast and lunch. The baked goods are a treat. We come here every visit to Lake City.
