Such a great…read morevarity of authentic German food, gourmet "American" sandwiches/platters, and a huge variety of mouthwatering delicacies in their bakery. They also have a great beer and wine selection. The atmosphere is so modern and clean, yet welcoming and comfortable. The staff were all so kind and seemed genuinely happy... how rare is that? But the coolest part was the family that owned/runs the place. I've never actually been to a German restaurant where the current owners are from Germany (and we've been to a lot of German restaurants as it is my husbands favorite style of cuisine). Sounds lame, but that was pretty cool! The owners were so friendly and attentive! Last little shout out... You know the foods authentic and damn good when the chef (the owners son) is speaking German and drinking beer from a big ass mug at 11am! Love it!

This review is only for the bakery department as I have not had a chance to eat here. I read about…read morethis place in a travel book or online. The first visit, I bought a cream puff. These are homemade and big. I only ate a bite in the car and put back in the bag. As I was bringing stuff back in the house, my dog rummaged through the bag and was carrying the said cream puff in his mouth. Damn he is smart. Trip #2 I bought 2 cream puffs and bacon bread. I was smarter this time and put in a cooler and put in over the stove microwave so my dog didn't steal. The cream puffs are so good. Plain but you could add chocolate syrup drizzle. The bacon bread is good toasted with butter on it. They are open until 8 pm on Saturday. Noone was eating inside when I stopped in. Price for 2 huge cream puffs and bacon bread was $14.00.

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. :-)

My partner had boneless wings with a bourbon sauce and really liked them! The beer menu was fun and had a good variety! We wished there were a few more light options, but if you like IPAs or fruited beers you'll be happy stopping here! The vibe of the place was very cool - it's got a "half brewery half restaurant look" if that makes sense haha. The staff and patrons were friendly, and we left with some merch (tees and a glass!) Overall worth a stop!

What we received was maybe one scoop, putting them together but I doubt it, and it was $4.50 each plus a tip. The owners were in there. I'm really disappointed in being taken advantage of. At least give a full scoop for $4.50 per cone. I couldn't believe they watched and probably laughed. It is almost laughable, but we're not laughing. We used to get cones there and they were good. Absolutely turned off by this.
