The food was absolutely amazing. We had the veggie sandwich with seasonal veggies and a delicious vinaigrette dressing, and the pulled pork sandwich made with locally sourced meat. We also tried their Italian beef and wild rice soup and was so tasty! Ingredients were so fresh, bread was delicious. Where ever we go we look for organic restaurants and must say that this was one of the best we've had!! read more

Over an hour and still no food. Tables served one plate at a time and by time the next plate came out the others were done eating. There are 3 tables of people 13 of us total in the whole place and we were told they are doing the best they can that they are busy. read more

Food was perfect. Service was great. No bloody Mary's or mimosas, but the coffee was great! It was very busy but the staff was so good you never noticed. read more

Technically, we just stopped for a caramel roll. It tasted home made and was NOT a gargantuan treat. We ate it at the tables outside. It was a good source of energy before we rode the Soo Line Trail on bicycle to Isle. read more

This restaurant was a wonderful surprise on a camping weekend! Their food is all cooked from scratch (even baked goods), seasonal, and locally sourced when possible. Even their coffee is roasted locally. My boyfriend and I split the veggie burger and asked if any of the bread was vegan (the bun it comes on isn't) and our waitress went to ask the cook. She then let us know their coleslaw was vegan, that she could substitute the honey mustard for a homemade sweet and sour sauce, and that the hash browns are cooked in sunflower oil. Talk about HELPFUL. They're also gluten free friendly if that's your deal. They have locally made maple syrup, honey, meats, eggs, veggies, jam, and a whole lot more for sale in the store. I will be coming back if I'm ever in the area and hungry. read more

Farm Market Cafe - American Near Me - Onamia, Minnesota

Omelette portion size was fine-it just took forever for the food to come out. Our server was probably brand new because after about 45 minutes, the cook brought out 3 plates of food instead of 4, in which the cook had asked who wanted chicken, and I told her I did. Apparently my order was never processed because the restaurant did not have any chicken. read more

Stopped in here for breakfast on our way back to the cities... We've driven by this place so many times and I've always been curious... So today was the day. The restaurant is rather quaint... A basic menu selection. All options are either locally sourced or organic. I was impressed with how quickly we were served as we can only see one person working... She did a great job. My husband and I both had breakfast sandwiches and our son had the French toast. We really enjoyed the homemade hashbrowns with onions and organic cheese... Very tasty and quite complementary to the sandwiches. I definitely recommend stopping in here for breakfast or lunch if you are in the area... It's a great way to support the local farmers. read more

My buddy and I raved about the food during and afterwards. The 2 ladies in charge were about as sweet and accommodating as could possibly be and appreciated our presence. Try the French toast special (last week's happened to be sautéed apples in a cinnamon glaze, with fresh whipped cream) and my friend had a veggie omelet he thought was incredible. read more

When you're driving by on US-169, and you see the numerous cars parked outside of Farm Market Cafe, don't let it fool you into thinking that it's a reflection of the quality of this restaurant. These people have been waiting all morning to get breakfast and, likely, are still waiting as you read this. After you are finally acknowledged, after you're finally seated, after you're finally able to look at the menu and order, and after you've finally exhausted potential conversation topics with your meal buddy, you will be served a lackluster attempt at culinary excellence. The potatoes were flavorless and undercooked. The bacon was paper thin. They sell real maple syrup but give you a cheap imitation of Mrs. Butterworth's. The eggs were slimy. The utensils somehow had less material strength than the Wal Mart clearance items I bought for college 20 years ago (and still use). No ketchup. No salt. No pepper. Unfortunately, the new owners haven't changed it much since they bought the place. It's about the same as I remember but I thought I'd give them another chance. Any good to Farm Market Cafe? Yeah. The pancakes are decent and they have clean restrooms. read more

The food was okay,but it did seem like the employees didn't know what they were doing. I got the veggie cup of soup and a vegan cookie and when I went up to pay they tried to charge me for the bowl of soup which is $2 more expensive. Also I asked for my cookie to be warmed up and it was still cold and hard. Also they have a gift shop and it was really messy and unorganized. But the employees were really nice and kind. read more

Excellent. I came all the way from Chicago to go camping and while escaping the plagues of mosquitos and biting flies, stumbled across this place. Everything here tastes homemade. Possibly the best food I've had in small town Midwest. Told the rest of my campers about this place and brought them there. Everybody seemed to love it. read more

Honestly my expectations were low...boy oh boy was I wrong! My husband and I were very hungry after a hike so we took the chance on this place and it paid off! Everything is home made from food that comes from their garden or the farmers market! It all tasted so fresh! My husband had spaghetti (homemade sauce) and it reminded him of his great grandmothers. Even my side salad was Ah-mazing. It's an hour from home, but we will be back and drive just to eat there again. Even the caramel rolls were homemade and made this morning! I would give it more stars if I could. My only problem was my husband and I didn't talk at our meal...the food was too good to think about anything else! Yum! read more

What a find!! Thanks again to Yelp, I found this fantastic spot for a quick lunch. The service was great and they genuinely cared about my experience. I chose the half egg salad sandwich on multi grain bread and a cup of chicken noodle soup. They make the bread, and everything else, I believe, and the quality is noticeable! I wished I had ordered a whole sandwich! The portion is normal, rather than super sized, so I was comfortable full. Do not leave without trying their homemade ice cream! read more

Love this place. Honest home made goodness. We had a bowl of chicken noodles and had to order another bowl. Tastes just like grandma's noodle soup. The chicken bacon wrap is very tasty. Apple pie is amazing. The bread is delicious, we had to get a loaf to go. It is a little pricier than your standard chain restaurants but If you believe in healthy local homemade food, this is the place to go. read more

I asked for a blended mushroom burger medium rare. What I received was a McDonalds hamburger patty cooked way past well done. I asked what went wrong and I was told it is hard to get it right. Ok, whatever! Terrible food and service, not that we were expecting too much in the first place, but what a disaster. This burger was very much a McDonalds hamburger and they are not able to do temps such as med rare, yet they charge 13.50 for what would cost 1.50 at other nearby fast food joints. read more

After 3 nights of camping and lots of bagels and dried fruit I was looking forward to treating myself to a warm, delicious breakfast and coffee on my two-hour drive home. However, I knew my prospects were not good as I was mostly passing through towns of less than 1,000 people and northern MN lake resorts. I refused to eat at a bar, so I resigned myself to greasy-spoon diner, even though I was craving the quality, local, ethical breakfast that I can find so readily in Minneapolis. I decided to stop in Onamia merely on account of it being an actual town so I figured it would have a restaurant that is hopefully open on a holiday. I was headed toward the downtown when I saw a sign for "Farm Market Cafe" and was intrigued enough to...well, not turn around, but to Google it. What I read was akin to the oasis in the desert. I immediately made a U-ey and high-tailed it back over to Wall St. I am so happy that this place exists. It's sort of odd on the inside, it's in a big warehouse-y type building with very high ceilings. However, they've made it very homey with bright colored walls, lots of merchandise for sale (State Fair apples!), and local food EVERYWHERE. Given Minnesota's wealth of small farms, it should be far more normal than it actually is to find places like this in small towns. The service was friendly. It's a very small place with just a few tables, so you know you'll be taken care of. The breakfast menu was small but this made decisions so much easier. I had the breakfast sandwich with ham, a rhubarb muffin, and coffee. The muffin was small, but it didn't bother me because it reminded me of the muffins my mom makes, and I don't really like huge portions either. The sandwich was perfect: the ham was REAL ham, and the bread was outstanding (English muffin bread...I love that stuff). But beyond the taste, the best thing for me was that I knew I was getting local, healthy, made-with-love food. This is a great little stop if you're hungry and having good quality food is important to you. It's a little odd with Sturgis merch and second-hand shirts for $2, but it owns it like nobody's business. A perfect personality for a small-town restaurant. I hope I go through Onamia again some day just so I can stop here for lunch and homemade pie a la mode. read more

Farm to table in Onamia with homemade pie. Very tasty food and the service was excellent. I did not try the homemade ice cream but it looks delicious. read more

Heard the pie was good here. Stopped in to get a piece to go. $4.60 for a small piece of walnut pie (only option). Was told it was like pecan pie. It was AWFUL. No taste, mealy and burnt on top. Needless to say after a few bites it went in the garbage. read more

Farm Market Cafe - American Near Me - Onamia, Minnesota

Strangest experience. The waitress didn't know what she was doing. One woman in the back making food one order at a time. We saw at least 4 families walk in & out. The food was good but this place needs some help. read more

Had a spicy fennel sausage breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese & tomato on their "hallelujah" bread. Hands down the BEST breakfast sandwich of my 50+ yrs! Had the hash browns with cheese and onions too. I was afraid they would be difficult to eat since they were pretty crispy, but I was wrong. Coffee came with a giant pitcher of cream. Service was great too. My only complaint is that they didn't have a loaf of the bread I could buy. :) read more

What a delightful find! This is small town friendly and as homey as you get! Organic and grass-fed, range-free meats and produce. The bread was homemade and amazing! Highly recommend! Service was excellent! read more

Great food and great service. The chef and the staff are very hospitable and awesome! Highly recommend!

Keep driving. Overrated. I would give it zero Stars if I could. The breakfast wrap was inedible the sausage was so spicy we could not finish it. 4 oz orange juice cost $3. Extremely overpriced. read more

We didn't get our water until after we ordered our food, about 10 minutes after arriving. The eggs, bacon, and toast we ordered came stone cold. They offered to microwave it, so they did that and brought it back. It was still cold so we asked if it could be remade. Then we heard yelling from the kitchen about how she doesn't have time to remake it and they brought it back to our table, microwaved a second time. The oatmeal we ordered arrived about 10 minutes after the rest of the food. It was bland and watery and seemed like it was from a Quaker Oats pack put in the microwave- definitely not worth $6.50. The lunch food- a chicken wrap was alright. Overall, a $40 bill for cold eggs and bacon, cheap oatmeal, and a wrap was ridiculous. Will never be returning. read more

Came in durning the afternoon. Sat down and ordered. Watched five other tables sit down and order after us. After waiting an hour and watching everyone else get their food they approached us and said they were just starting our order. We left. Slowest service I have ever had. They weren't even half full. read more

We've been wanting to try this place and finally got the chance today. We both had a basic breakfast (2 eggs, toast and bacon) and it was OK. The eggs were nicely done as was the bacon. Their toast was tasteless. We were the only ones there so service was great. One thing we thought odd was that we had to get up and get our own silverware. For a breakfast close to $30.00, you'd think they could set the table. Not a bad experience, but would probably not return. read more

Lots of dairy free and vegan options. Plus farm to table food. Fantastic stop on your way up north.

Good but not anything extraordinary. Considering you are in the middle of nowhere it was good.....English muffin bread definitely lacking flavor. read more

Saw some poor reviews should have listened.. no free refills on ice tea.. even though the glass is 90% ice.. the chicken soup has no flavor and $11 for a slider size veggie burger.. sometimes these are great little places and other times nope read more

This place is great! I drive past it from time-to-time for work and it never lets me down. The food they use is locally grown - the majority of which is grown within 12 miles of Onamia - and the farmers do not use pesticides, hormones, or other chemicals. The owner, Deb, is super friendly and the food is always delicious. They also have amazing daily specials and great coffee. Plus, what's better than a great cafe? A great cafe that has a little gift shop that sells local goods such as honey, wild rice, and locally roasted coffee. They also have a small freezer with bread, meat, and other homemade or locally sourced items to take home. Bottom line: if you're in Onamia you should stop by this place. You won't regret it. read more

Let me start by saying WOW! Small menu which leads to better prepared food. I had the fennel sausage breakfast sandwich and it was amazing. Great flavor and everything was fresh. Let's not forget that all of the food is fresh, made to order and mostly made in house or through local farmers. After breakfast, a slice of all 3 available pies (rhubarb, chocolate/raspberry/cream, and Carmel pecan) and got them in a to go box not anticipating to eat all 3 slices. We did. I then ordered and iced latte to go and it was even amazing. Everyone was so polite and eager to chat to see how we came to find the store, which I found on Yelp! when looking for somewhere to eat on the way home from Mille Lacs. I can't wait to return!! read more

The food was DELICIOUS but... they are overpriced for the amount of food you get. 4.50 for a few bites of hash browns is not ideal. It honestly was about 5 bites worth. This could be five stars if they'd give the right amount of food for the money you pay or lower the price. read more

We stopped here on the way home from Isle, MN. The food was AMAZING! So fresh and tasty. I had the homemade egg salad sandwich and firecracker soup (green tomatoes, corn, bacon, and jalapeño). For dessert, we had the wild blackberry basil pie with honey vanilla ice cream. Out of this world! Great place for families and hungry travelers. I wish it were closer to Minneapolis. We'd eat there all the time!! read more

I'd rather drive an hour, then wait an hr to eat here for breakfast than go somewhere else. Best breakfast hands down! If I could give 6 stars I totally would. read more

Absolutely fantastic. We stopped in just before 11 & still got breakfast on our way out of town. The food is amazing, local too. It's came out pretty quick & our wait staff was very nice. Good coffee, great pie on their Friday Pie Days. Highly recommend read more

This little place has fabulous burgers and soups! Everything is fresh, local and organic. Their menu is quite extensive for the small location read more

Great local food. I was very excited to find a good gluten free option in a sea of greasy spoon type restaurants. Loved the locavore feel of the food and shopping. read more

Great breakfast, cool atmosphere. I must stop for anyone visiting the area. Be patient for fresh, quality food and it will not disappoint.

What a gem in this small lake resort area. Hard to find unless you have Google. But the food is amazingly fresh and flavorful. We had a salad which includes fresh eggs and greens. Even the dressing is homemade. We also tried the chicken noodle soup and it was delicious. If we had more time, We'd come back for breakfast. read more

Food that is homemade, just like Mom made. People are friendly and service was great. Kale, ham, and rice soup along with a BLT made for an excellent meal. Offering my wife a gluten free option was icing on the cake. Small space with only 6-7 tables but if they are full it would be worth your time to wait read more
