    Mt etnas midnight snack pizza
    Audrey S.

    Great restaurant and cannot wait to come back. I had their Mt etnas midnight snack pizza and it was so good. Super cheesy, super flavorful, but a little bit messy! I loved the lemon as well in it, sounds weird but so so good. Will be ordering and recommending to others!

    Best woodfired pizza in the area. Locally sourced, organic and doesn't make you feel sick after eating a few pieces. We ordered the "Ziggy stardust" and the "Curtain call" pizza. Both were excellent. Staff was super friendly. Also had a "tip the cow" milk stout from the tap. Really good. Atmosphere in the back is better than the front because you can see the nice park setting in the back. Great for date night or a group of friends.

    This is "lasagna"

    This was our second time to Cafe Mir, and while both were underwhelming, this time was downright awful. From the cloyingly disgusting "Fertile Fizz" cocktail, to the burnt cheese drowned in pesto dish they claimed to be lasagna, it was all gross and overpriced. Our wine was warm. Our server was uneducated about the menu. For my dish, I got a 4-6 oz piece of salmon literally smothered in an unrecognizable toppings. This was $27 with no side. Do not be fooled, this place makes its money with offensively small portions, no sides, and embarrassingly few a la carte options. Indeed, you have to pay your bill at the front bar like you are at McDonalds. Plus a 1.5% service charge on top of everything else! Save your money and time and go elsewhere.

    What an amazing gem tucked away in Fertile, IA. With a wood fire oven and locally sourced ingredients, Cafe Mir is worth seeking out. The restaurant has mix-matched tables, chairs and glassware. This, combined with the soft lighting and background music, made me feel like we had walked into hip bohemian eatery in a rural European town. After struggling to make a decision we deferred to the advice of our accompanying friend, who frequents the spot often. The rotating beer and wine selection offered many first time beer and wine choices for us. I went with Insetto, a sour plum ale by Stillwater Brewing. My wife had the Vinho Verde white wine. Both profiles were on the sweeter side with heavy effervescence, mine with the additional tartness from the sour yeast and plums. We started with the Castelvetrano olives and homemade sourdough bread and olive oil. Our friend recommended saving the sourdough cubes for dipping in the sauces of our upcoming entrees. If you come, I second this as you won't want to waste anything that comes on a plate. For the main course, we opted to shared the anchovy wood fire pizza, the lamb and pork meatballs and the wood roasted sweet potatoes. I also switched my beer choice over to Jolly Pumpkin's Bam di Castagna. An oak aged farmhouse ale with chestnuts. The anchovy pizza had all the salty charm it should, combined with the chewy then crunchy wood fire crust. My wife was weary of anchovy at first but ultimately noted it was her favorite part of the meal. The meatballs and pomodora came out piping hot in a small cast iron dish. The smell of the lamb and herbs combined with the sizzle and steam of the cast iron made my taste buds desire to try it immediately wrestle with my brain's caution to wait until it cooled. The sweet potatoes came covered in a jalapeño lime and honey yogurt sauce. The julienne cut potatoes were soft yet crisp and played well the tart and sweet sauce. For dessert, we shared the Dutch apple pie and butterscotch pot de creme. I'm not usually a desert person but the butterscotch pot de creme may have me reconsidering. After dinner drinks led me to the Fertile Fizz, a combination of Atxa sweet vermouth and sparkling wine. Cafe Mir is worth the trip, whether you are coming from Clear Lake or Minneapolis. Get this spot on your must-visit list.

    This spot is a unique place, especially for Fertile. Personally I loved the vibe and style of the place. The food was unique but overall really good. I thought the eggplant bruschetta was amazing and so was the carrot cake! Some of the other food we got wasn't my personal favorite but I know other people that loved them. I'm not giving it 5 because of the price vs the amount of food. But I'd definitely go again!

    Mediocre is about sums it up. Owner sits on a very high horse about himself and thinks his poop don't stink- I guess he's just never tried his own food; he might fall off his horse if he did. So yes maybe the food is locally grown but it's not good at all. Prices are out of sight for the low calibre of food. Way out in the middle of nowhere he serves up New York prices at below substandard quality. It's all about the owner not the restaurant or food. Consider this place a dump.

    Lunch from Cafe Mir!

You can feel the DMs town vibes and coziness as soon as you walk in. The front seating area has a piano and seating and tables. The coffee bar is in the middle and they offer seasonal items such as Apple Crisp Latte (which was delicious) & S'mores mocha. There were pastries and scones and cookies as well. There is beautiful art all around for sale. Different nick naks and magnets and key chains and bags and soap etc for sale. And some adorable crocheted animals too. A fire place greets you after the coffee bar with 4 very comfy chairs. And behind that you can do downstairs where all the books are kept with tables and chairs and couches. And upstairs is a Longe area with more chairs and tables and couches. A perfect place to meet and catch up with family and friends or to study and enjoy a nice place to hangout. I wish this was in my town, I would be there every day! Def a must!

    Just a great little coffee shop! Warm, friendly, comfortable! Hot mocha was great - not so sweet…read morelike some places, which I appreciated. The barista and I talked about how many pumps of mocha was used so I No could adjust the sweetness. I love the little book store area,'used puzzles and other gift items n for sale.

Cabin Coffee is a cozy little western-themed cafe, with a wide variety of breakfast foods, pastries, and baked goods. They have a decent coffee menu as well, with alternative milks such as oat, coconut and almond for an extra 85 cents. The staff was extremely nice, and patient with not only my toddler, but my mother who orders slower than the speed of molasses. I appreciated that our order took some time to pull together, as that typically means your food is being made fresh, not reheated from frozen like a well-known overpriced coffee shop that we are all familiar with. I ordered a classic vanilla late with oat milk, and The Sundance bfast burrito. My mom ordered a large mocha something, The Longhorn burrito, two chocolate scones and my daughter ordered a chocolate chip cookie. The 7 items were only $36! Shocked. The latte was a little sweet, and took me awhile to finish, so if you don't like sweet, definitely tell them to hold off on a pump or two of syrup. The burritos were a good size, and mine kept me full for the entire trip. My daughter loved her crunchy chocolate chip cookie as well. Great vibes all around, and pretty decent coffee.
