We were in town for a bachelorette weekend and decided to go here for brunch on our last day. This…read moreplace was so cute and had great service. Downtown has fun shops to check out before or after your meal. This is your typical small down family restaurant but has a fun menu with breakfast classics and Swedish dishes to try. We were limited to the breakfast menu but that was okay because it helped me narrow down my order. I opted for the monte cristo with a side of bacon. My friend got the Swedish pigs in a blanket, which I took a nibble of. All the dishes people ordered were delicious. I got a side of lingonberry sauce for my sandwich and other items, which was a great touch. I would definitely stop back in if I were in the area.

Since this was our first time, we had no idea that it was a 'seat yourself' type of place and there were no signs indicating so. We stood at the door being stared at by the patrons and the employees. It took several minutes for someone to tell us we could sit wherever. Finally, our waitress stopped over, took our drink order, but because we weren't ready, she left. She didn't come back for more than 15 minutes. She did apologize, but it was far too long. Prices were reasonable and two specials were offered - our kinda place! My husband took part in one of those specials and ordered the country fried steak and eggs. I ordered the regular steak and eggs. We did substitute an order of toast for the Swedish pancakes (gotta!) It took a really long time for our food to come, which was disappointing. Food did come out hot and my husband was a big fan of the country fried steak. I didn't think the Swedish pancakes were anything I would HAVE to order a second time, but I'm glad we tried them. The hashbrowns were probably the highlight of breakfast. A waitress did stop by with a dum dum for kids, which was a cute added touch!

It was so good. Mom also bought a greeting card made by a local artist there.

The building itself has a lot of character since it's older with a very open floor plan. The downside is that it can get pretty loud and a little difficult to hear when it's busy, but it still has a cozy cafe feel overall. Definitely a good stop for a casual breakfast or lunch, especially if you're saving room for dessert.

When you do get sat, the service is fast-- your coffee is always filled and hot! The food comes out fairly quickly and is always hot and delicious. It actually can get pretty loud in there. It is a very old building with an open floor plan, so when a lot of people get in there then start talking it can get to a medium roar, but nothing too loud. It's not like you have to shout at the person across the table so they can hear you. The prices are reasonable and comparable to the prices around the area, and bonus **if you have purchased an Elk River Football card, (and you have the card with you) you can get five dollars off your meal!
