Harry Potter would not be disappointed here! The Ettlin's Cafe was probably one of the cutest spots I've been in a while for its own unique reasons! This cafe is found in a quiet spot in the town of New Prague. The restaurant gives off small town vibes but their special drink flights are spectacular! Now, of course we chose to visit this place for their Harry Potter themed drinks and I am so glad we did. This cafe actually creates 4 themed drink flights! 3 unique coffee flights - Harry Potter, Star Wars, & Peanuts, and 1 boozy Harry Potter themed flight. The presentation of these flights were gorgeous! Each one comes out in a beautiful wooden deco box with different themed Harry Potter stickers on the sides; as well a fun character toy brought to your table - we had both the Sorting Hat and Dobby. The booze flight also arrives with one drink aflame! There is a drink designed per-house. Majority of theme were delicious. The one set on fire did have a bit of an off-putting taste to it due to the flammable component drizzled over top. Besides this, the drinks were very nice. Not a fan of any of the themed flights? Don't worry, they have a regular mimosa flight for muggles as well On to the food. I chose to order the #3 From the Hen (2 eggs, choice of meat, hash browns, and toast). The food was absolutely delicious and extremely filling. Let me put you on one really quick.... The sausage is out of this world, the best I have had in years! I had a moment to sing my praises to the owner and he clued me in that they actually get their breakfast sausage from a local butcher near by! This all makes sense. The sausage was HUGE great flavor, thick and juicy in texture. It reminded me of a true German sausage. I would come back for that breakfast alone! All love to small businesses supporting small businesses! Overall really enjoyed my time here! If you haven't been out to try Ettlin's I might suggest adding it to your list! read more

The food was good and the drinks here are top notch! It was a very long wait with a toddler though. Took about 45-50 minutes to get our breakfast. Just know if you decide to dine here it could have a bit of a wait since a smaller restaurant. Our favorite part were the drinks. So many fun themed options to pick from. The pancakes were as big as our heads! read more

We went to Ettlin's mainly for the Harry Potter drink flight and we loved everything about it. So fun and quirky. Our food was decent, nothing over the top but it was good. The cheese curds were hot and fresh and the soup was delicious. One thing I didn't love was the coleslaw was way overdressed in my opinion. Service was slow but they made it clear that it may be when the restaurant was busy, which it was. read more

I had breakfast there a few weeks ago and it was great! Took my wife there as the offer "Chech" food option and she loved it! The service was great! The place was busy and they got all the requests done correctly! The display on the wall was great! Parking is right on site! I had your basic breakfast and the hash browns were very tasty! I would visit this cafe again! read more

I would have given it 5 stars, but I had to go and get a waitress after being Sat at a Table for over 20 minutes....With my Mom and Dad who are Visiting from Ely, MN. I know Sundays are Extremely Busy....But also the waitress came to our Table with A Huge Annoyed Attitude, Rolling her eyes because we Asked for Service? I was Astonished by her Negative Attitude and Interactions with Myself, My Husband, and My Dad and Mom;( I work in the Service industry and Know what Professional Customer Service looks like! This was Beyond Rude! 4 Stars is for the FOOD....and The Huge Portions. Hopefully New Experiences Next time we May Go Back! read more

My favorite cafe!! We have never had a bad experience here and have been soooo many times. Do not expect to be in and out as this place is always busy but definitely worth the wait! My favorite dish is the scotch eggs and the pancakes are HUGE! They offer some really delicious coffee (and now alcohol) flights. Recently we got the Harry Potter boozy flight and it was so fun and tasty! It's very fun to look around at the people finding out what "house" they belong to with the Harry Potter hat! read more

The staff is very friendly, it's ambiance is of a family dinner, the menu has a Czechoslovakian theme. The portions are large and the food is amazing. They have a large selection of coffee options.

This cafe never ceases to exceed expectations and I have been really happy for years and continue to find new things to be happy about! The food is consistently fantastic with really fresh ingredients and prepared perfectly. I have tried almost everything on the menu at some point but one of the things I think about a lot is the Angry Rooster which is a beautiful omelette that has andouille sausage, sauteed peppers, onions, jalapeno, and tomatoes with Ghost pepper cheese. Spicy?....yes it is. VERY tasty? YES! My friends today had a side of dumplings and gravy (very good), Scotch eggs (Yummy) and a pancake (Huge!). Great quality, cooked well, and tasty all around. One thing we had a lot of fun with was their new Coffee, drinks and hot chocolate menu! I had one that was a coffee drink (Christmas Tree!?) with gingerbread and vanilla flavoring and came with a Little Debbie Christmas tree cake...cute and very good! Two of us had the Hot Chocolate Flight.....SOOO awesome and fun!! Four 6 oz hot chocolates in 4 delicious flavors. It was really terrific and we had a great time trying each other's drinks :) As always....HIGHLY recommend this cafe! It isn't big, they have limited hours, and sometimes the food can take a bit since they have a smaller team, but they are friendly, it's a cute little place, and the food is definitely worth it! read more

First time here but I have driven by HUNDREDS of times. The service was excellent right out of the gates, even on a busy Sunday morning. The Angry Rooster omelette was exactly what I wanted, the andouille was surprisingly spicy for an Eastern European restaurant. I really loved it. The sourdough toast was tasty AF. Any variety of kolachy is a great breakfast appetizer, they are served warm and more of a bun style. I will say the stuffed French toast was a touch dry. I guess they use more of a simple egg wash for their FT rather than a custard, so that's why they didn't get a full 5 stars. We'll be back for sure though. read more

Local, great food, awesome people. Never disappointed at this Perfect bohemian hotspot.

Way out in New Prague, there is a delicious diner, Ettlin's Cafe. For a weekday morning the parking lot was quite full, I could see why once I received my order. The ambience is very cute, gray walls are decorated with artwork of "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Very chic. I came specifically for the coffee flight, I was presently surprised that there were 2 flights (Spring flight and St. Patrick's Day flight) and 1 hot chocolate flight. I tried the Spring flight which had 6 oz samplings of Blueberry Pancake latte, Cherry Blossom Cold Brew, Banana Pudding Latte and Honeybee Latte. All 4 had their own distinct flavors, my favorite was the banana pudding latte which had banana sliced toppings and very banana-y. The server did warn me that the flights would take a bit of time. I didn't notice the wait even though it was quite busy. For breakfast I ordered the #2 with 1 monster pancake, which came with eggs, toast and bacon. Eggs were perfectly cooked, crispy thick cut bacon and sour dough toast. The food did take some time to come out but the sign at that door does state food takes 25 minutes to make because everything is made from "scratch." Ingredients were high quality and definitely made with care. Servers were very attentive. From observation it seems there are a lot of regulars. read more

The wait staff seated us promptly. The ambiance is of a typical small town diner and smells nice not musty. I had the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. Served with an option of choices for bread, meat, egg, and cheese. They even have an option to have ghost pepper cheese. It comes with fresh fruit as well. read more

Driving back to Iowa...I decided to give a new place a shot. I am very happy that I did. Real hash browns that appeared to be hand grated, as the shreds weren't the uniform type typically seen at other breakfast establishments. Bacon was the thick type and had a good smokey flavor to it. My first bread choice was unavailable, so I went with white. Nice thick slices, not your typical sandwich bread. While the staff was polite, I felt like an outsider the entire time. read more

The Ettlin's Cafe - #3 breakfast - Cafes Near Me - New Prague, Minnesota

We stopped in to Ettlins for breakfast on a Sunday and there was a 20 minute wait for a table which we were told to wait outside ( in 27 degree temperatures ) or go to our car and check back after the 20 minutes as opposed to giving us a buzzer which would notify us or taking our # and recieving a text when our table was ready. Once we were seated it took about 6 minutes for our server to come to our table so it wasnt going well. We ordered the Monty Cristo & an Omelet which were both very good but it took quite a while to arrive. All in all it was a decent place for a meal but we won't be rushing back anytime soon. read more

Very good place to eat and always love coming but it takes for ever to get your food we have come a hand full of times and it has taken over an hour to get our food. So it's hard when you have little kids that only sit still for so long when they're hungry. Great food great atmosphere great per read more

Great food, made from scratch. I usually get their breakfast, but I occasionally enjoy items off their lunch menu. My favorites include the Angry Rooster omelette and the La la love it French toast. Their meats come from a local butcher taste awesome. Today I enjoyed something a little different and was pleasantly surprised by their ability to make tasty specialty coffee drinks. Atmosphere is clean and staff are always speedy and friendly. Not much waiting room for when it gets busy but they usually seat people quickly. read more

"I can't think of anything to complain about, and I usually come up with something" - my date Ettlin's has a tremendous menu, a warm and friendly crew, ample space, and most importantly really great American and Czech food. We had the Czech breakfast - on recommendation- and dumplings with gravy, soft raspberry kolacky, and steel ground oats. The Jaternice and other Czech staples were cooked to simple perfection. While the sweet kolacky came first, I think it may have been strategic. Wow with first impressions. We never had dumplings in the style Ettlins uses: slices of a potato roll browned almost like a Pillsbury holiday cookie, side of brown gravy vs. frosting. Big fans. The custom Dineen coffee mugs and bottomless pot topped off a great breakfast in New Prague. I highly recommend a stop in, or making this a regular. We will come back sometime for dinner. read more

Food was delicious, waitress made all of us feel very rushed and like we had to order quick and get out quick. One other thing is the bottom of the silverware was wrapped but not the part that you eat off of, so the fork prongs and knife were getting touched by everyone and set on the table, just weird anyway decent food!!!! read more

So delicious! I wish they had something like this in the Twin Cities! So good! I wasn't even able to sit and eat my food at the restaurant for very long so I had to take it to go, and it was still out of this world cold and in a box. It's a great family restaurant to and I hope to be able to bring my family here at some point soon read more

First time. Food was very good. Plan to return soon. Scratch kitchen - slower service when busy. Coffee selections were numerous. Good traditional coffee too. Great daily lunch specials listed. Going back for Tuesday special dinner - liver and onions. Benedict was good. Needed more hollandaise. Next time I'll order a side. read more

Excellent breakfast!!! Service is always great!! Check out the collection of concertinas in the back!

We checked out this wonderful magical place today..so delicious. Harley had Nutella stuffed french toast, Michelle had rasberry stuffed french toast, I had rhubarb Kolacky and raspberry Kolacky. We also tried their coffee flight, this was a super fun and playful way to try new coffees. After brunch we had Butter beer cold brew, butter beer latte and I had an Audrey Hepburn latte. I would highly recommend checking out this yummy magical cafe! read more

This place is amazing!!! Oh my goodness! I got the Czech breakfast based on my wonderful fellow yelpers. It did not disappoint! The homemade fried dumplings are to die for and kolchy is also amazing! I wish I could've had one of every flavor. The scrambled eggs were also exceptionally good. I don't normally get scrambled eggs and these were really flavorful. Maybe it was just the ambience or I was in the mood, but the scrambled eggs were super delicious And I don't normally write reviews about how good the scrambled eggs are. The meat patty was also very tasty and flavorful! I went around 1230 on a Saturday afternoon and it was busy but I didn't have to wait for a table either. This will definitely be a stop on my list whenever I'm traveling outside of the cities. Thanks for the delicious food! read more

This is your home-town restaurant every local loves to go to. I went 3 times in the last 2 weeks. A favorite from the menu is the Chicken Raspberry Salad. It comes with homemade bread. So good. I had it 2 of those 3 times. read more

Ettlin's is a great place to gather for good food served with great service. The setting is a bit chic and a bit old fashioned. Though the parking lot looks like there'd be nowhere to sit, there is plenty of room inside. The soup - vomacka - is a must! Creamy, thick, and delicious. So good that I ordered a quart to take home. As they close at two, it's nice that they offer both breakfast and lunch/dinner foods. The breakfast foods looked delicious. BEWARE if you get pancakes with your meal as they are BIGGER THAN YOUR HEAD BIG! And you get two of them. The burger list looked great. The rueben was fantastic. The specialty coffee list looked tasty as well. Will definitely make this a stop when in town again. read more

Great food excellent service even when busy awesome breakfast menu. It's worth the stop if you're in town

Slow service, even longer wait for food. Saw waitress twice in an hour and 15 minutes of being there. It took 50 minutes before the food came out. Their breakfast sausage is hotdogs. No lie. Hotdogs. Asked owner what kind of "sausage" this was because it was different than the last 4 times I came in and he bold face lies to me that it's the same they have had for 3 years. I HAVE ONLY LIVED IN MINNESOTA FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. I was here 3 months ago and it was actually good breakfast sausage. He then proceeded to get loud and say I'm only the second person to ever say anything. Read the reviews. Not worth the time or money you'll waste to eat here. read more

Was told by the owner to leave. Apparently, they allow people to eat and visit for 90 minutes per table.

I have been in there it's average they lack a few things like mashed potatoes or baked potatoes I think it has a lot to do with laziness.

Delicious freshly prepared food. The fish tacos were huge: large chunks of walleye and stuffed with fresh veggies. Service was prompt and very friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Best food in New Prague, especially for breakfast. Just a great place to bring anyone from grandparents to babies and everyone in between!

The Vomacka soup is absolutely delicious. I could eat/drink a gallon of that stuff. Nice work ! read more

Great food and staff! I took the entire family "grandkids and grampa" and we couldn't find a thing on the menu we didn't love. If you're looking for a home-cooked feel you've found the place and doubt you'll be disappointed. We look forward to stopping again when we are back in town. read more

slow, slow, slow.....my god is it slow.....good food......but so slow.......server lady also not very friendly

We stopped on a whim, around 11am on Superbowl Sunday. The place was hopping, and the staff were all bustling around with energetic efficiency. We waited only a minute or two until a table was available, and the place was clean and neat. It was obvious the restaurant has been remodeled recently, and it was very nicely done. Nothing fancy, but a welcoming down home feel. I did not catch our server's name, sadly, but she was a lovely young lady with a warm smile and energetic manner. She greeted us, got our beverage requests and never let any of her tables wait. I was very impressed by the way she continually circled through and never once appeared to forget an order or get huffy over any interruptions. The food was FANTASTIC!! My Monte Cristo was the best I've had anywhere, and the chocolate chip pancakes were melt in your mouth delicious. My tastebuds were severely disappointed when my stomach was too full for any more! We will definitely be back again!!! read more

Service was fantastic!! The flooring was, alright. Was a huge fan of the workers looks! Very nice!

Hidden gem! Please support and ensure a long run. Pancakes and Czech sausage were amazing. The angry rooster even challenged my spice worthy palate! read more
