    Biscuits and Gravy with eggs over medium.
    Joe C.

    Everything is getting smaller here. Notice how the plate is the same size as the fork. This is about half the amount of hasbrowns you get at other places. Maybe this is a good change for everyone's waistlines, but shouldn't the prices shrink in proportion to the shrinking size of the plates? Service was good. Tables were promptly bused. Food was prepared well.

    My friends and I stopped in for lunch after Pickleball on a Friday at the nearby rec center. The restaurant is within walk-in distance so we decided why not? We were pleasantly surprised with the good quality service, food and the comfy homey feel of the restaurant, and wonderful service. We all got the Friday special, which was a choice of 1/2 tuna or fish sandwich which came with a cup of delicious homemade soup and a salad. 2 of us got the fish, and one got the tuna. We LOVED our experience! Can't wait to go back!

    The food was outstanding. My wife had eggs Benedict and mine was Bisquits and Country Gravy and I swear it's been a good 6 years at least for me and I am so glad I came. AMY was an amazing server and she did very well and very polite. She served us with a smile and was a darling. The atmosphere was amazing and not too loud. I can tell you I am so happy to have spent my $40 for the week on such amazing food. Highly recommend and if you can ask for AMY, please do. She was outstanding and I am so happy I was able to go back and enjoy the wonderful food. AMY deserves kudos and a raise for outstanding service.

    Gluten free french toast with a sausage patty on the side

    We came in here on Memorial Day on the way to the airport and were so thankful that we did. They feed us quickly and got us to-go utensils and containers to take with us on our travels. The service was excellent and friendly. They have gluten free French toast which was excellent - they asked if I wanted it with cinnamon (which I did) and I would recommend (it wasn't too sweet - just perfect). Everything was affordable and there is easy parking out front. They really were so helpful in getting us out the door in time and well-feed, it was very appreciated.

    Bone found in turkey pieces

    A group of us ordered takeout dinners for Thanksgiving because we have heard good reviews from people who eat at the restaurant. We were unanimously disappointed with the flavor of most of the dishes. One person found two chunks of bone in their turkey. Overall I would reit is a mediocre dinner and won't be ordering there again.

    Small, local cafe and bakery that is located in the Highland Park area of St. Paul. Worth a stop, even if it's for a cinnamon roll or another freshly baked item to go! Great service this morning from Amy for our dine-in meal. Coffee carafe at the table, even though only one of us was drinking coffee. LOVED the Eggs Commodore (Eggs Benedict with sausage)..the hollandaise was SOOOO creamy and smooth I'm surprised it didn't roll off my plate. Yes, I will be coming back here-for the rolls (if nothing else).

    Love the food! The staff are amazing. And the Bakery rivals Keys Cafe! A fabulous place for Sunday afternoons or anytime you're looking for home-cooked food!

    Not much that is GF except salads. Wish they'd offer GF buns &/or breads. It's too bad as it's so convenient to my house.

This place had the vibes to have such a fun crew working and instead we barely even got 2 words for the person who rang us up. The person who made our drinks also had zero interaction.

Lots of natural light, big open windows, and different seating options that makes it feel really inviting. It can get pretty busy during peak times, so finding a seat can be a little tricky but they have a shared table system where you can grab a card if you're open to sitting with others. It's such a fun, community-focused touch and a great way to meet people or just make space when it's crowded. The staff is super kind and welcoming, which makes it even better. They also do a great job with their seasonal drinks and pastries.

Luckily, the Catzen Café is just a few doors down, so coffee and cats seemed like the perfect place to start. The barista greeted me with a big smile and kindly explained how everything works. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I grabbed a latte, opened my laptop, and headed into the cat den - where the real fun began. Tim the Enchanter was the first to greet me. Definitely not a werewolf (despite the name), but extremely friendly and very curious about what I was doing on my laptop. Apparently he takes his role as office supervisor very seriously. Then there's Big Cup of Joe, the gorgeous gray-and-white Maine Coon who is absolutely magnificent and looks like he runs the place. Leroy, the laid-back orange tabby, stopped by to say hello, and Halloween Blizzard might be one of the most striking cats I've ever seen. Between great coffee, curious cats, and such a welcoming atmosphere, this place is a gem. As a brand-new neighbor, I can already tell this will become one of my favorite spots. I'll definitely be back... and next time I'm bringing my cat- and coffee-obsessed friends with me.

There's no booking fee for groups smaller than 5 people, just one purchase per visitor in the cafe. I got a lemonade, very tasty. Mostly came here for the cats but they are all permanent residents who can float freely between the lounge and the private basement space so only 3 cats made an appearance during our visit, 2 napping and 1 popped in for some food. There's no guarantee you will see any cats during your visit. The space is very cozy and has plenty of books to browse while you hang out which is nice when the cats aren't there. I am not sure when the best time for maximum cat activity would be. There is also space to sit in the coffee shop bit outside the cat room which is nice, some people were studying there. Lots of little trinkets and things to browse all around. The bathrooms were super nice and had sanitary products freely available. Would come again in hopes of more cat activity! Big Joe was super cozy and soft (and widely posted that he only accepts head pets).
