My husband ordered a coffee, and he really enjoyed it, and we also got two pastries made by nearby Hanisch Bakery. They were delicious and fresh. We sat in the shop to eat. It was a pleasant environment for chatting, and the eclectic decor was a source of constant fascination for me. We'd definitely stop in here again when in the area!

This carries over to the food that they serve. Fantastic omelettes with a great choice of sides. I always appreciate fresh fruit as a side with my breakfast. A Denver omelette is my favorite and they make a good one. The breakfast sandwich is also terrific. The grilled biscuit is so good. If you're in Lake City don't skip this amazing little spot. P.S. They have an amazing little patio that is dog friendly and they will be happy to get you a pup cup if you ask.

The pie is tasteless. I've never had bland lemon and lingonberry pie. Many of the pies are chess style. They don't tell you that when you order. Chess pies can be gritty from corn meal in the filling. Mine was. A slice of pie was $8. The sandwiches are all pre-made, also tasteless, and one step up from a hospital cafeteria. I did not try the bar/cafe right across the street. I wish I had done that, instead of getting suckered by the pie shop banner. I hope you can avoid my poor choice.

The two of us opted for the grandest option of All You Can Eat, which included a choice of potato, shrimp, and the salad bar. The salad bar area is small and rather crammed to the side of a back dining room, but it absolutely delighted me. There were rolls and butter pats, and a whole array of salads that felt like the same mix you'd find at a great Midwest potluck. I sampled several, but I absolutely LOVED the broccoli bacon salad and the Snickers salad! My husband opted for the simple lettuce salad with croutons. Service was consistently slow during our visit, just as a matter of timing--they looked short-staffed during the lunch rush, and the workers were being run off their feet! They were moving nonstop. I had broiled fish with shrimp and a baked potato. Perfectly cooked, flavorful fish. I loved the breading on the shrimp. I had butter and sour cream along with my potato. I didn't get seconds. My husband had the standard fried fish, shrimp, and fries, and really enjoyed them, and he did request a few more pieces of fish. They came out, piping hot. I want to come back here sometime and try the pie!

I was taught to be respectful when I am at a restaurant, do not thru food, do not toss your napkins on the floor, if the food needs spice, add salt and pepper (that why they have salt & pepper, catsup, mustard , steak sauce, etc on the table). Most of the guest who come for the first time to the A to Z pizza farm have never eaten natural wheat, it is delicious, however they are used to the white bleached flower full of chemicals and sugar, that said you need to acquire the fine taste of wholesomeness. That does not happen easily for that reason bring some salt, or better yet start eating healthy and start experiencing good taste. My father always said who was a organic farmer one of the best in Hopkins, Minnesota way back in the 50's, you are what you eat, crap in crap out! When you come to for your Pizza, just think of the valuable peaceful moments you have with your spouse, friends spending time together in the car, talking, laughing, precious memorable time together and as a gift seeing amazing Eagles soaring bye, stopping at a few places on the roadway making lifetime memories. By the way pick up your desert FIRST when you come to Stockholm, you will make a left right in front of the Pie shop, that way you have a dessert! We have come from Chanhassen, Minnesota at least 5-7 times a year to spend quality time in the car with my adorable wife of 53 years, smelling fresh farm air, seeing friends, and just being grateful that we can share these sacred moments from the harsh city life and enjoy Good natural food.

FINALLY made it here for their Tuesday pizza night after years of not making it due to scheduling…read more It was every bit as good as advertised. We lucked out a bit with the weather as it was supposed to rain, but cleared up in time and we arrived right as they opened at 4:30 and parked close. We were order #6 so we got our pizza really quickly. Of course the emphasis is on fresh, local ingredients and you can really taste the difference between here and a generic pizza place. The pizzas are on the spend side, but how often am I going to be in Stockholm? We knew it was $28 going in and gladly handed it over. Ordered a half Italian Sausage, half Canadian Bacon. Lots of cheese, onions, basil, etc. and some fantastic olives. Took two bites and thought "this is so f'n good". Quality ingredients and a crust with the right amount of char on it and we were happy. While waiting the roughly 7 or 8 minutes for it to cook, we took the opportunity to drag in our chairs and cooler (used as a table for the box) in a shaded area and stayed a little over an hour. They aren't allowed to let people bring in their own alcohol, but do sell some on premises if you are so motivated. They also sell bread that is baked on site from grain they mill themselves. Its in a great slightly isolated location off a dirt road and if not the gnats that decided to appear we would have been there longer. They were also doing a brisk take out business, but they were starting to get busy with people bringing in tables and such so I assume it was really hopping later in the evening. Either way, its a beautiful property and they have their process down so it flows pretty efficiently. Yeah I know we lucked out so we didn't have to suffer a long wait, but I'd hang out a while for this again. I guess I'd recommend getting there as close to opening time as possible. Will definitely be back.
