We are working in the area and needed to grab a bite to eat after a long day. We found this…read morewonderful diner just down the street. It was so cute and the perfect country kitsch. Our waitress was so wonderful, friendly and very attentive . The food was delicious, probably one of the best Reuben sandwich I have ever eaten, and it's one of my go to items when we find an old cafe or diner. My husband got the fish sandwich which was gone before I had even gotten through the first half of my sandwich, so I know he loved his meal too. And the French rhubarb pie was on a whole other level of amazingness. We will definitely be stopping in again soon

Stopped at this beautiful little bistro on my way through Menahga. Not really seeking more coffee,…read moreI initially dismissed. However, after seeing the law enforcement going in at lunch, figured it had been vetted. They had food, too! The menu included flatbreads, salads, unique sandwich combinations, and breakfast. I had difficulty deciding because of their varied menu of choices. Certainly wanted one of those tasteful looking scones, too, but will save that for another day. I ordered a sausage galette, a blend of sausage, bacon, egg and pepperjack cheese. It was like a gourmet croissant sandwich with soft flaky bread and perfect flavor mix and some excellent pop! There was a bit of coldness in the egg, but managed through that. Topped it off with a Scandinavian coffee, that was a delectable combination of coffee, cardamom and cream. It was a perfect post-morning drink without being sweet. This place will be on my list on future stops along Highway 71! Excellent service and great presentation!

Living in the middle of nowhere Minnesota, to say that I am delightfully surprised with this coffee…read moreshop would be an understatement! :) The food and the drinks here are excellent. I was shocked when the flavor of their espresso, their drip is great, and I love the little pitchers they use to give you the half-n-half! :) Most coffee shops that serve food and coffee are lacking in one of the departments, but this place serves both well! Plus, there are SO many food and drink options, with salads, teas, Lotus Drinks, specialty coffee beverages, and fresh sandwiches. All of the workers are polite. This is definitely the kind of place that you want to sit down at. I wouldn't describe this place as super fast, but that is no bother! No matter how busy it is, you still receive the same high-quality product with your drinks and food. As for seating, bring a large group, or come alone; there are SO many comfortable seating options here, from booths and comfortable leather chairs. Every time I come here, the food, drinks, and the workers here exceed my expectations! It is totally a hidden gem in Menahga, Minnesota. :-)

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.

We came in on a Saturday morning for a family brunch and were taken care of right away. I ordered the BBQ Benedict, which seemed unique and like something I can't get just at any breakfast joint.

Both burgers were very tasty and the accompanying fries were fresh and tasty. The chicken was a little on the dry side but the pesto was great. The tater tot side upgrade was a bad choice. They were overdone and pretty awful. We all opted for desert and the pies were soooo good. The lemon cloud was so refreshing and the strawberry peach was sweet and tart. The carrot cake was good but the frosting was too sweet and lacked flavor. The service was quick but the servers have a lot of tables so the waitress was not overly friendly or inviting. We felt like we were a task and not a guest. Would we go back? Yes but.....I would order differently and stick with the things that they are best at.

The drinks are great and there is quite a variety, including non-coffee and mocktail types. On my last trip I had the Mamasita mocktail and it was very good. I've had some pastries in the past too and have always enjoyed them. The prices may seem a bit higher but they are totally fine for me, as I know that I am paying for quality as well as the location & ambience of this lakeside shop. The owner is always very friendly whenever I visit, and I feel good about supporting her business.

The French toast came with 2 eggs (your choice of how you have them cooked) and a few slices of bacon. The French toast was cooked perfectly! The Eggs Benedict was amazing (in my opinion). It came with a side of hash browns and they were just the right amount of golden brown and crispy. With it only being one person manning the cafe, we only waited 10 minutes for our food which was very reasonable in our opinions. We did not order any baked goods but everything looked just as good.

Yes, they used to have a white board with the menu, but now have laminated menus. And they used to not take credit cards, and now they do. But what I suspect they've always had is great food. This is a diner. They do wonderful, soul-filling diner breakfasts. And they are nice, friendly people. I love this place, and I'm so happy they are here. And bacon. Get the bacon.
