I was visiting a friend from Los Angeles and she brought me here for lunch. I was impressed by the location and the overall aesthetics of this place. It's located right by a gorgeous lake so you truly get to experience the beauty Minnesota has to offer. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich which came with a wonderful side of seasoned fries (seriously get them!). The pickles were also perfect. They have a bar area where you order your drinks, I got the lemonade which was also incredible! Not too sweet, the perfect summer bev. My friends ordered a lemon and lavender cookie and peanut butter and chocolate cheesecake. Both phenomenal. The service is quick and the people are very nice! But that was obvious from the moment I landed I noticed how friendly people were in Minnesota. I had a great time in Wayzata!

Vanilla soft serve with salted caramel and cookie pieces

I've been here several times since they've opened over the course of the last few years but kept forgetting to write a review! I've tried the breakfast pizza, pancakes, pastries, and most recently the smoked salmon salad and the soft serve. Everything I've had is delicious. The service can be a bit slow for dining in especially during peak hours, even during the weekdays. But the food delivers every time. I absolutely loved the salmon salad. Give me goat cheese on a salad any day! The salmon was perfectly cooked as well. I tried a Mocktail too - although I forgot the name, it was pretty tasty overall. My favorite was the soft serve. Unfortunately they ran out of the seasonal flavors and a couple other specialty flavors but they let us customize our own. I got vanilla soft serve with salted caramel and cookie pieces. It was pretty tasty! The cookie pieces were just ok - kind of dry and hard, not chewy. But the salted caramel was phenomenal.

Food: Decent salads. Large portions. My favorite has been the Six-Grain Harvest Bowl. Ambiance: Cute ambiance inside and outside seating as well and it's mostly shaded. Location: Great location with lots of parking nearby. Service: Be sure to check in with the host to get a number and table assigned before getting into the line that's usually kind of long for food. There's a separate line for drinks. The staff are helpful and friendly. Overall a decent place if you want to have a nice lunch near the lake.

Ice cream is the best! If you are in Wayzata stop here for the ice cream. They have many other wonderful things too - a deli full of salads and a coffee bar. You can also get wood-fired pizza. The service is attentive. Many people are working there to make your experience good. The prices are high. Otherwise, I would give this five stars because the quality is amazing. A small 8 oz. container of the deli salad was $7.00 for orzo and $10.00 for chicken salad. That is just too much and a bummer for someone who wants to get it often. The vibe is very cool.

Burrata pizza

Went back to grocers table to try out their dinner menu and it was a great experience! We made a reservation and were seated instantly. Our server was very friendly and started us off with drinks. The black cat was delicious and the little biscotti it came with made it feel more elevated than a traditional espresso martini. Both of the pizzas we tried were delicious! The wood fire crust was perfection and both pizzas were extremely flavorful! They also were the perfect size. It's great that grocers table is able to do a nice, sit down dinner just as well as their more casual breakfast atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back for more!

5/5 stars! The most quaint and incredible quick breakfast spot. Incredible decor and service. Food is incredible, coffee as well. Right in the heart of downtown. A staple for my wife and I. Quick breakfast spot.

"S'mores" Iced Latte ($10) and not pictured in the bag, the most delicious Breakfast Quesadilla ($18).

There's a lot that I like about The Grocer's Table. Loves: - The food is always fresh, delicious, and there are always plenty of options; the breakfast Quesadilla is my favorite! Breakfast/lunch/dinner, you can't go wrong with a mealtime here. - Seasonal options for both food and drink are always available and rotating. - Full bar serving speciality cocktails and fantastic wine options. - The bakery and fun dessert items are some of the best you'll sample in Wayzata! (Big shout out to their baker/pastry chef!) - I love the little shop they have and all of the unique, locally sourced kitchen and home items they sell. - I love the views from Lake Minnetonka if you choose to dine al fresco on their patio. - I love that I've never been rushed, whether I've come to eat and stayed to work a couple of hours, or I'm having a reunion with family/friends, regardless of how busy the restaurant may be, I appreciate never feeling rushed out. - The space itself has an eye-catching country luxe aesthetic; super cute. What doesn't drive me wild: - The coffee's... they're a hit or a miss. The baristas are friendly; it's not a service issue. I'm unsure if it's the bean or simply the combinations I've chosen. For example, the "Latte of the Moment: S'mores" as an iced latte with oat milk, is not that girl. For what latte's cost these days, it's never a fun time when I have a "miss" experience here with the coffee. - Reservations are not accepted. - The crowding for the business is fanta$$$tic, but for patrons, it can feel overwhelming. During the warmer months, there is additional seating available on the patio. However, if you plan to dine with a large party (or even just a party of four), it's recommended to arrive early, especially on weekends. - This last point recently occurred, so I can't say this is something I've noticed happens all the time, but once is enough to mention it. During extreme busyness, while I was waiting for my meal in the takeout area, I noticed an employee on the line working as an "Expo", ensuring the dishes were being served correctly, rearranging food that was already on the window ready to be served to the customer, with his bare hands. No gloves, no hand-washing in between. As a culinary school graduate, I know all too well the significance and scrutiny kitchens face in relation to ServSafe and proper food handling practices, regardless of how busy an establishment gets, especially (and traditionally) the person on the Expo line should be of the highest qualification and awareness as it relates to safe food handling practices. I was shocked to see servers coming up to him to grab plates, the cashiers, who, although busy taking orders, could also see him "finalizing" dishes yet no one mentioned anything to him about putting on gloves or washing his hands. I could've assumed the hands may have been washed before approaching the line, but watching him touch his hair, bite his fingernails, and then rearrange food on the plates made me cringe internally when I noticed this. My hope in mentioning this is that, if the restaurants read this, they can offer retraining to equip better whoever is Expoing their line. Besides and otherwise, The Grocer's Table has always been a place in Wayzata known for its great food, and I wouldn't say that the minor hiccups I experienced change that for me. The misses are tweaks surrounding training and consistency, but at the heart of this establishment, there's a lot of great food, so I would not discourage you from checking them out if you find yourself hungry in the Lake Minnetonka area.

Pizza

I really wanted to like The Grocer's Table, but the experience just wasn't good. We waited 45 minutes after sitting down before our server even came back to take our order -- way too long, especially considering the place wasn't slammed. When the food finally came, it was just... average. The pizza was nothing special, and the turkey burger was just okay. What really bothered me was that you have to pay an extra $7 just for fries on the side -- for something so basic, that feels really overpriced. For the price point and the long wait, I expected much better service and food that stood out. Unfortunately, it just didn't deliver. Not sure I'd come back with so many other options in Wayzata.

Inside
Charley B.

Such a fun place! Right in Wayzata- you go up to the counter to order. The staff was super friendly and the menu is expansive with high quality options. They also have a separate coffee and drink bar which is nice. I got the salmon bowl and it was AMAZING!! Great option for all meals.

Bakery case

Upscale over the counter restaurant with a coffee shop and mini-market inside. A lot of food options available for breakfast. I ordered The Grocer's breakfast sandwich and it came out with fresh fruit. The sandwich was very good, the arugula, tomato, and avocado spread were fresh. Very nice service!

BLTA
Alli T.

Wow we visited Wayzata and I was blown away by the grocers table! The restaurant is situated in the CUTEST area, and I just loved the entire aroma of the spot. The inside was so nicely decorated and very aesthetic. I ordered the green goddess salad and BLTA sandwich. The highlight of both was definitely the green goddess dressing... it was amazing.

Olive oil and salt soft serve
Tim R.

A very fresh and faithful artichoke dip. The boneless Braised beef rib was wonderful, tender meat and the beef gravy was devine. The olive oil and salt soft serve dessert was unique and wonderful.

So I found Benedict's online and thought it looked like a good choice. The restaurant itself is really bright open and airy. Lots of natural light and high wood beams. The restaurant employs an online wait list, which I love. So you join the wait list online, it tells you how long your wait is and the you can plan your arrival to minimize your wait. I was surprised that on a Saturday, we walked right in and were seated... it wasn't all that crowded (that said, there was a big No Kings rally that day so people might have been busy). At any rate, we were greeted and seated immediately at a nice table. I enjoyed the many options on the menu and also loved that you could order a single specialty pancake if you wanted one. I ordered the classic benedict. My husband got the tot hash. We ordered a strawberry nutella pancake to share. The pancake was good, though honestly the nutella strawberry topping was a bit meh. My husband said his tot hash was not what he expected (they seem to make their own tots and then deep fry them) but he did like it. My benedict was decent, but there was way too much ham and not enough hollandaise. I hate when people are stingy with the hollandaise. Coffee was good and strong. My peach mimosa was fine but honestly pretty small -- I'd be surprised if it was 8 oz. Service was OK. Nothing super major to complain about, but my mimosa wasn't delivered until I was almost through my first cup of coffee. The waitress clearly just forgot about it. She basically said so and apologized. I noted that many tables had lovely little bottles of water for when you wanted to refill your glass, but we did not receive one. It also bothered me a bit that there was a lot of "stuff" on the floor. Trash, bits of food, etc. I know that things get really busy at brunch spots on the weekends. But someone really needed to go around with a broom or a vacuum. It's just not what I expect from a dining establishment where I'm going to drop $80 on breakfast for two.

Stopped in early on a week day to grab some pastries, bread, and a matcha. Pastries were solid (the…read morescone was the best!) - there are better croissants in the broader metro but for this area these are up in the top for the best. Bread was so good! Super crusty but I wish the loaves were a little larger for the price. Their seasonal matcha was great too! Staff were super nice and patient and it felt like the kind of place you could pop in to meet up for coffee with a friend. There's not a lot of searing inside but overall a great little addition to the area.

Lunch at Rustica Bakery this week was absolutely terrific. I shared a Reuben (excellent), and we…read moresampled the cookies and scones, every bite delivered. Everyone at the table loved their lunch, but the experience itself was just as memorable. The space is warm and welcoming, the kind of place where you want to linger with good company and great coffee. It's easy to see why Rustica has been a Minnesota favorite for so long. The craftsmanship behind the pastries, breads, and desserts is evident, and the care taken by their bakers and baristas shows in both quality and consistency. There's a deep respect for the classics alongside thoughtful creativity, exactly what keeps a beloved spot relevant year after year. If you haven't visited recently (or ever), consider this your nudge. Rustica isn't just a bakery; it's a community anchor, doing what it's always done best: serving exceptional food in a space that makes you feel right at home.

The space itself looks like an older Caribou location that's been renovated, with a casual vibe and plenty of seating options. They also offer food like breakfast items and sandwiches, which is a plus. The coffee was just fine overall, but the sesame latte was a miss for me. It tasted like straight sesame seed grounds and was very gritty. It didn't seem mixed well and was honestly hard to drink. The staff was friendly but also felt a bit distant at the same time. Service wasn't rude, but it didn't feel especially warm or welcoming either, almost like they didn't really want you to be there. Parking can be a little tricky right out front, but there are usually plenty of spots available in the main strip mall area nearby Trader Joe's. Overall, it's clear this place is very popular and busy, and I may have just caught it on an off day. Decent space and lots of options, but the drink and service didn't fully win me over on this visit.
