Lisa made SUPER fresh ham and cheese sandwiches for us! She has the freshest produce that is kept in chilled containers so the lettuce and tomatoes were the best and no flies to molest! Her homemade cinnamon and caramel rolls were fabulous We told her we'd return on way back from Canada in a few hours for pie, ice cream and coffee. More homemade goodies were had again and we bought the whole pie to take home! I feel this should be advertised more as a deli and grocery instead of liquor but thats me- this little oasis has it all! Great meeting Lisa and visiting with her - she's great company. Great coffee! God bless her and all who read this Dave and Diane Sullivan

A great spot to stop as you make your way up north!…read more It's right off highway 61, there is parking lot right next to the store and in case that one is full there is another one across the highway. There is a crosswalk but be careful, people drive quick! The space itself is small, no tables inside just a counter for ordering. It looked pretty busy when we got in but our food was ready in about 15 minutes. It was delicious and we will definitely make a stop next time we are in the area.

Would definitely return!

The breakfast was delightful and there was endless hot cups of coffee. The eggs were cooked perfectly and there were plenty of options. It truly hit the spot, we were both impressed with our breakfast. We loved this place so much that we came back that evening to pick up something from the bakery items. We got an entire blueberry pie and it was fantastic. The man who sold us the pie was beyond friendly, as well. I highly recommend it. They truly make you feel at home!

This entire experience was a waste of our time and money. Arrived for breakfast and began looking…read moreat the menu while an employee ignored us. Right around the time we were considering leaving, the owner walked by and told us we had to stand in a line against a wall in order to be seated for breakfast. (Other than her directions, nothing indicated us to do so) After sitting down and receiving our water and coffee (coffee that was nearly $5 and never refilled) we ordered our food. Pancakes and a breakfast burrito, each around $16. When the food arrived we received what appeared to be a tiny gas station burrito and four smaller pancakes with a little tub of lukewarm syrup. We both left hungry. I understand food and material goods can cost more in less populous places, but either portions should have been larger, or the price should be lower. Prices might be more reasonable for lunch, but for breakfast I highly suggest you go somewhere else! We had just gotten breakfast in Two Harbors the day before at Ruby's Cafe and ordered similar items. Coffee was better and refilled more often. The prices were lower and the portions were much larger, filling the entire plate and our stomachs. As someone who has driven across the US, this is one of very few local restaurants that I regret spending any money at.

We initially stopped here because the well-known Angry Trout Cafe next door no longer allows dogs, and we're glad we did. We were able to enjoy a relaxing meal with our dog on the front patio, which made the experience even better. This place is a true hidden gem that deserves far more attention. Delicious food, a welcoming atmosphere, and dog-friendly outdoor seating make it an easy recommendation.

When I went to pickup, it was very confusing where I was supposed to go, and they seemed irritated with me that I didn't know where to go, despite there not being a sign (and one small note in the email of where to pickup). It did seem quite busy that day, but the communication was just not great even for a busy day, and they were pretty dismissive of me after they handed me my food. When we got our food, there was also shredded cheese on my salad - I'm dairy intolerant and the cheese was not listed online as one of the things in the salad, so I didn't even think to note 'no cheese'. If you're planning to order, I would really recommend going in person to do so instead of online, or possibly calling, but I'm not sure if they'd take your order via phone. ESPECIALLY if you have food allergies or intolerances, given how poorly labeled it was online and the fact that they did not include everything in the salad in the listings. I've heard fantastic things about their bakery options, and I'd be curious to sit down here sometime to see if the service is maybe better when sitting vs doing takeout.
