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. :-)

Well, this place is called Lucy's now (as of Aug 2025) and it's great!! So I'm just going to leave…read moremy review here as there's no listing for Lucy's. Fast, friendly service; a great breakfast and lunch menu plus ample coffee/espresso offerings, a couple smoothies, etc. Saturday's brunch was so good we went back Sunday! Not a lot of indoor seating but the side patio is large with plenty of tables and umbrellas. Also seems to have a drive-up window but everyone I saw come thru seemed to have called their orders ahead. We had a oretty wide selection and everything was tasty. Special mention to the Lulu (I wish I had ordered two loaves of that bread to bring home!) and the fries which were extra yummy.

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.
