Friendly local spot with the best coffee in town. Often I'll eat at 3rd Street Market, which is connected, and get my coffee here. The sandwiches at Bella are also good! read more

This is an order at the counter, they deliver to your table kind of place. The eating area is large for a cafe, and it's pretty. After choosing our items, my husband did the ordering, and I picked a table. We ordered La Firenze and La Venezia. They only had half of La Firenze left, so I got a cup of soup - Wild Rice. They have "help yourself" water, so I went and they were out. The counter was super busy, so I waited. I went again, it was still out, so I asked for some. The lady was helpful, but sarcastic (I'm SUPER sarcastic, and I've found it doesn't work well in a service environment. I have to just be straightforward and nice.) La Venezia was SO GOOD!! La Firenze was good, but nothing compared to La Venezia-it's flavors kind of explode in your mouth. The wild rice soup was okay, it had lots of wild rice, which was good, but the flavor was a little dull. The extra seating area is really nice - has lots of light, well decorated. We enjoyed our time in there. read more

This is an exceptional little cafe right off Main Street in Park Rapids. The ambience and service are superb. The hot turtle mocha was delicious! We will definitely be back!! read more

Bella Caffe is maybe the only spot in Park Rapids to get a decent cup of coffee. It's a large space with sandwiches and baked goods, albeit no vegan options, sadly. I got a latte with their homemade oat milk ($4.50). While it's awesome that they make their own oat milk, it was too sweet. Also, it barely registered in my latte. If this place added more vegan options and upped their game on the oat milk, it would get another star. That said, it's a good spot for tea or coffee. read more

Bella Caffé - Latte with homemade oat milk ($4.50). They didn't use enough milk; the milk itself was a tad too sweet. - Cafes Near Me - Park Rapids, Minnesota

I did this little spot in Park Rapids and wish I had discovered it sooner. The food - far better than I expected The drink - fresh and tasty, served with a smile The pricing - fair, very fair The service - extremely pleasant and genuine I was glad to see such a diverse lunch menu and enjoyed my sandwich. I was even happier to see the assorted cookies and or desert type options as well as I wad craving some sweets big time. I do not drink coffee and the Café offered several alternatives, I went with my staple of iced tea which is fairly easy for places to get wrong. Not here, good tea makes for a happy me! I will be back Bella Café! read more

Have a hankering for some Paninis? Stop by Bella Caffé! They have quite a few assortments of Paninis along with soup and salad to compliment the sandwiches. They have a gluten free option that they make to order! I had the #5 on GF bread and it was savory and delicious! The other people in my party enjoyed their paninis. They also have a selection of coffee drinks. I got a dark roast on tap and it hit the spot! The staff was helpful and informative about their menu and the various option they had! We will be stopping by again if we are ever in Park Rapids again. If you are in Park Rapids for a night or driving t hough, I recommend stopping by to grab some lunch at Bella Caffé! read more

Bella Caffé - La Firenze - Cafes Near Me - Park Rapids, Minnesota

This place is basically the extension of the 3rd street market, and the lady who runs them is fantastic. So nice and accomodating. My wife had a sandwich that was made with the wild rice and cranberry bread. She loved it so much we came back to see if we could buy a loaf...she went way out of her way to make sure we got one and even brought one from the freezer as she knew we were going back to Kansas City. The coffee is great, breakfast or lunch you can't go wrong. All good stuff, and freshly made with really good ingredients. Warm and friendly enviroment to enjoy your drinks or food. read more

Delicious food and drinks. They have great internet connection if you need wifi for work/stuff. Coffee is always fresh read more

Very friendly staff and great tasting coffee. I visit here every time I am on Main Street.

We love this place and usually stop in while on vacation. Great coffee and plenty of tasty baked treats. Not a wine bar by any means, but I had a tasty crisp Chardonnay last week and enjoyed it immensely. read more

This is an excellent cafe for enjoying not only coffee and homemade foods, but also wines. Very reasonable prices. The music is just the right volume for me (non intrusive) and the proprietors genuinely care for their customers. Pluses: varieties of coffee available. Nicely decorated. Free wifi with no password required. Large spaces for groups. Three distinct café areas to enjoy your coffee and foods. read more

We were greeted with a smile and received amazing service. I would highly recommend this lovely shop!

I got a number 2 and it was amazing!! Such great food and such a cute cafe! However, the service isn't so great. Bad attitudes and bad hospitality. Would have given a 5 if the service had been better. Food is still some of the best I've ever had! Highly recommend! read more

Bella Caffé - Number 2 - Cafes Near Me - Park Rapids, Minnesota

Just visited the Bella Cafe for the first time with family, and enjoyed it. They serve coffee drinks, and have about 8 different sandwiches ($5-8 each, or around $5.50 for half), 2 different salads ($7.50 for full size, half for $6.50), and pastries and desserts. They have gluten free bread if you need it. I ordered the Chicken Spinach salad, which had cubed chicken, red onion, roasted red peppers, walnuts, cranberries, blue cheese and a Maple Mustard Dressing. I got the full size, and it was still small. It came with a slice of crostini and fruit slice. It was okay, but not outstanding and I would not order it again. The big draw here is the venue. It is a charming coffee shop in Park Rapids, and the perfect place to meet family and friends. Quiet music, very clean, friendly staff. For those handicapped, it is easy to get inside, and there are a few tables on the main level. Take care if going up to the second level - the stairs are narrow and a bit steep. But once there, it is an enclosed sun room, with windows all around. Great for getting some sun and people watching. The bathroom is up a few steps and then in the back of the building, and is shared with 3rd Street Market next door. Spotlessly clean. Overall, I would go back and try something else. And certainly return to try coffee drinks and pastries. Sweet, friendly place. read more

Great atmosphere, lots of natural light, but the chai tea latte I ordered was mediocre, and service wasn't particularly good. They are open on Sundays and have Italian sodas on their menu, which I'll try next time if I return. read more

Coffee shop and wine bar in resort country. Kids can have hot chocolate while I have Malbec, plus there's wifi! It doesn't get much better. Food is typical baked yummies, homemade. They also do great simple panini and soups, again, all from scratch. read more

Great panini sandwiches and coffee. The only thing better than the quality of their sandwiches, salad, and coffee, is the quality of the ownership. The owner came to our table and went out of her way to make a great dining experience perfect. read more

Cute coffee shop/wine bar in Park Rapids with a greenhouse-like patio, large dining area, & cafe style food. Stopped in for a glass of wine & a beer with my husband after a busy morning of shopping & savoured some relaxation. It was the perfect place to kick back. read more

One of the best mochas you will have in your life. They even use chocolate whipped cream on top. The baked goods are all great and homemade. The pesto on the sandwiches is as good as you will get in any city restaurant. I got the vegetarian sandwich, it was loaded up with all kinds of goodies, and I did not leave disappointed. Food is made quick and the staff is both friendly and helpful when you are making choices. read more

Coffee shop that was very accommodating to two small children. Sandwiches were great and tasty. Worth a try if you are passing through.

One of the best places in Park Rapids to grab a bite to eat coffee very down to earth owners.

The must go to place for a cup of coffee, panini, cup of soup, a Guinness (perhaps) or a glass of wine. Read the paper, bring your laptop...wifi is there. Fruit smoothies, berry blasts...a little hint of Tuscany in the decor, wonderful wait staff...in the heart of the lakes, just south of the Headwaters of the Mississippi at Itasca State Park. Convenient downtown location attached to 3rd Street Market...a great place to get those items you forgot down at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's...or the North Country Co-op. read more

Awesome little Coffee place in downtown Park Rapids. Italian Soda for the kids and Vanilla Latte was excellent!

Visited this bright, lively cafe a few times and will come again and again. Great service, good food, clean & pretty atmosphere-and the best MAGIC BARS (aka Seven Layer bars) in town. If you need a sweet place to rest and refresh, this is your go-to cafe away from home. read more

Met some family here for lunch for the first time and really liked it. The staff is excellent, very friendly and attentive, plus it has a cool and cozy vibe but also kid-friendly. The food was good with some trendier options, only missing soup from the menu on Sunday. Would make this a regular place if I lived in the area, definitely will stop when traveling through town! read more

Sandwiches were perfectly flavored. Plenty of meat and cheese and veggies. Zero below was my daughter's fave! Service was so much better than we imagined! Definitely will return!!!! read more
