The vibe…read morewas minimalist but cozy, with adorable decor that made it feel trendy without trying too hard. The service was awesome too -- coffee refills on point! My mom and I shared the Classic Benedict and a blueberry pancake, and both were delicious. Small surprise: the blueberries came on top instead of baked inside the pancake, but honestly it still hit the spot My sister ordered the breakfast burrito and said it was solid, just not super memorable. My dad enjoyed the California Benedict though he wished he had ordered something with meat. Both the hash browns and sweet potato home fries were delicious. Overall the table was happy! Definitely a great brunch spot with good food, great service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Would come back!

Cute space ... lots of tables. The staff was very friendly…read more We had the smores pancakes with a side of bacon and the Monte Cristo with fruit. The three pancake stack is HUGE! They were fluffy. The bacon was a bit undercooked and missed a true smoked flavor. The Monte Cristo was flanked with two pieces of French toast. I was not really impressed as the bread fell apart quickly. The jam had a good flavor. I missed the berry jam and the deep fried batter from a traditional sandwich.

The tearoom is always a special treat! Price wise - it's similar to eating at Perkins or your…read moretypical diner, except that it's homemade quiche and popovers and tea cookies! So delicious ! Most entrees come with a fruit plate and or side salad, and the portion size is large, so you get what you pay for! It's really a beautiful spot by the river in Northfield. I recommend grabbing your food to go and eating outside this summer. Highly recommend the veggie quiche - its my go to! And some London fog tea cookies for the road!

We've started a new tradition where we try a new breakfast place each time we go to Diamond Joe…read moreCasino. So far, we've been to at least five restaurants and this one is still our favorite in Albert Lea. I think the best thing we've had here is the Denver omelette with hashbrowns, but their pancakes are also very good. It's easy to get in and out of here quickly, and still eat it at relaxed pace.

Sounded like a good choice for breakfast, but we were disappointed. The menu is extensive, but the…read moreservice was slow and fractured.. ordered eggs with pancakes, and the pancakes came out 10 minutes before the eggs (??) Food is very bland, no creativity in the preparation. Unfortunately the restrooms were deplorable -- filthy dirty, broken fixtures, holes in the walls -- this is a third world mess. I won't be going back..

Disappointing.... We really want to support them but…read morebreakfast here is just not an option due to (most recent visit): 1 kind of juice-a weak pulpless OJ, 1 kind of dark bread (wheat only), and the scrambled eggs were cooked to rubbery & our food arrived just warm (not even near hot.) It was NOT busy at all so that couldn't be the reason. :-( PS: if you order the biscuits and gravy your gravy is a simple flour/milk gravy with pepper-NO sausage whatsoever. (The waitress stated that people often complain about that when served, & yet ownership decides to still leave it that way!? Perhaps at least clarify on your menu.)

We came in to see the most diner looking diner you could get to. Open kitchen and all…read more Food was very good. We tried chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy, eggs and hashbrowns. The pancakes were good, nothing special. They had a little cinnemon roll for 2.75 which were fantastic. The menu was a little confusing. Me not realizing eggs came with the biscuits and gravy. But the menu is very small and simple, which i can appreciate. They had a pepsi spicket which actually was shooting out cherry pepsi.. to me thats an upgrade but i could see some wanting the normal thing. Prices seem very fair, however be ready to add 4 dollars for hashbrowns. The reason i don't mind though, you get good servings. Did not feel cheated. The server was awesome and attentive to multiple request from our table. Downside- cash only or local check I would eat there again for sure

Let me start out by saying I never eat breakfast at all, and if I do I take a couple bites and I'm done. I had the best breakfast and ate it all!!! I had an everything bagel with garlic, scallion cream cheese and sprouts. I can't wait to back again next weekend to try the cinnamon rolls. The service was great and quick considering there was a line the entire time we were there. The girls were so welcoming and kind, with big smiles and just a great overall attitude. Love the atmosphere, love everything about it, nothing but good things to say! If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
