I had a wonderful evening at Grocer's Table. They are a market, cafe, and wine bar in downtown Wayzata, Minnesota. They offer freshly prepared foods, made-to-order menu items, and a variety of retail and grocery provisions. They also have a scratch kitchen that serves made-in-house prepared foods and menu items.  It has a casual, cozy, and trendy atmosphere that I really appreciated. We took a look over their to go offerings and various grocery items - there is a fantastic selection of olive oils, pastas, and more for cooking at home. But, on this evening we wanted to enjoy what the chef and team had to prepare using fresh ingredients. To drink we went with  a Super Tuscan from Argiano NC. It was a nice pairing with all of our foods. To start we went with a Charcuterie & Cheese Board and Winter Salad. The board had a nice selection of pickled vegetables, cheese, and meats. The baguette was served warm and went well with the jam and cheese. It was fun mix and matching the various items on the board. The salad stole the show for me though, it was a bed of baby lolla rosa lettuce topped with smoked chicken, roasted carrots, blood orange, dried cherries, crispy prosciutto, manchego, spiced pistachios, and a sorghum vinaigrette. So much flavor from the smoky chicken to the citrusy orange to the tangy and acidic vinaigrette.  For main, we went with a pizza and one of their sides. Seasonal Pizza: It used fresh ingredients including speck, acorn squash, fontina, kale, and a variety of other winter vegetables. Nicely balanced flavors and generously topped. Brussel Sprouts: A TON of brussel sprouts with pancetta and parmesan. The parmesan was starting to melt into a beautiful almost sauce that I could have just eaten by itself. The crispy pancetta bits gave a savory saltiness to the perfectly roasted brussel sprouts. A great meal and highly recommend Grocers Table in Wayzata! ___ read more

The Grocer's Table - Soft serve - Cafes Near Me - Wayzata, Minnesota

The Grocer's Table has cute interior and fabulous bar and patio seating. I will note that it can be hard to find an open table at times and for service you do place the orders yourself at the counter unless you are sitting at the bar! The food does make up for this and recommend the farmhouse burrito and the all day breakfast pizza! The burrito comes with all the sauce you could need- salsa verde & smoked crème fraîche. Was so impressed with the flavors in both of these and are the perfect start to the day. The deli counter always has seasonal salads and other options! The elote salad is something you need to get. Warning, you will eat it all in one sitting. The chocolate chip cookie doesn't look like one that I wouldn't normally enjoy but it exceeded my expectations! We even got a second one to go. They always offer a different mimosa of the moment, and it is always refreshing and fits the season. The black cat is their version of an espresso martini and has sweeter notes. It comes with biscotti, which is an amazing addition to this drink because who doesn't love snacks! read more

The restaurant has a beautiful and authentic, and the overall vibe is truly inviting. My friend and I had high expectations based on the setting alone. Unfortunately, the food and the follow‑up service did not meet those expectations. We both ordered the avocado toast, and both plates arrived with visible mold on the bread. This was extremely concerning from a food‑safety standpoint. We were told that our meals would be refunded if we chose to stay, but the refund never appeared. Five days later, we called to follow up. We were transferred to the manager on duty, but the call was disconnected, and no one reached back out. As of now, the refund still has not been issued. It is disappointing to experience such a serious oversight in food quality, followed by a lack of resolution. The atmosphere is wonderful, but the food safety issue and the unfulfilled refund promise raise significant concerns. read more

The Grocer's Table is a market, cafe, and wine bar all wrapped into a bright and comfortable space in Wayzata. It has a great following and for good reason. In addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they offer an assortment of small household gifts and food items (think specialty sauces, crackers, cheeses, meats, pickled veggies). These items are dispersed in little displays throughout the various seating arrangements. I would say the service can be mixed. At times it is very inefficient, with one team member working to take orders from the deli line at breakfast and lunch. I have also experienced great service at dinner when we had a team member formally assigned to our table. Expect the space to be lively, cheerful, and crowded on the weekend, especially during the Holidays. The food is all quite good. A variety of American staples round out the menus without being overwhelming. For breakfast, I've ordered their daily quiche on two occasions. A hefty slice is plated with a small side of arugula. The crust is buttery and flakey and the egg and veggie fillings have been flavorful with good texture. I also recently tried their breakfast burrito which was gigantic and stuffed full with eggs, cheese, potatoes, and breakfast sausage. It lacks flavor on its own but comes with excellent sauces (salsa verde and smoked crème fraîche). For lunch and dinner, I typically order a sandwich. Their Spanish Tuna Melt is tasty on perfectly toasted caraway onion rye. They used to have a Blackened Salmon BLT which was heavenly, but their regular BLTA is just okay. They tend to change up their sandwich menu so many of the others I've tried are no longer offered (Italian, Chicken Avocado BLT). Also, don't skip their thick, soft, and chewy chocolate chip cookie, best enjoyed warmed up in the air fryer at home. On the whole, an adorable space in the beautiful Wayzata offering classic, quality American fare. read more

Came here for a birthday celebration on a Friday night. The restaurant was busy but the service staff were doing a great job! It did get a little loud at times but hey it's all fun on a Friday so no biggie ‍ We also got drinks (not pictured) that were FABULOUS! Definitely reccomend the Melon Bourbon Smash and Spiced Pear Martini. For dinner we got a variety of things - everyone enjoyed their food and there's some photos of a couple things we had (Pork Chop, Tuna Salad, Cacio e Pepe). However I am just giving it 4 stars cause we had someone with Celiacs disease with us, and not sure if it was the kitchen or who but they kept saying foods were safe for her even when they weren't (specially the salmon - she had originally ordered this and then was told that there's soy sauce in it but the gluten is "cooked off" - which isn't a thing - but she was able to get a meal she was able to eat). read more

Fun place! Upon walking in, the environment was warm and welcoming. It felt like a blend between a cafe and a General Store. From cookbooks to candles, napkins to sauces, espresso to pasta, you'll be sure to find something everyone can enjoy! Loved ALL of the candle scents and I want one in each scent (also love that they're named after bodies of water in MN!). I think I just found a new spot to find gifts for some picky friends! In the back, there's a take out food order station. Ordered the mushroom pizza. The crust was crunchy and delicious! The mushroom and truffle flavor was bright. The leeks and crispy shallots gave flavor and texture. The cheese was a little sticky in texture (for my preference) but the flavor and smell was amazing and I can see why that cheese was paired with this pizza! If it's possible, I might go back and order the mushrooms pizza again and swap for mozzarella to compare. Also, I saw a sign that you can purchase pizza dough, pizza sauce, homemade pasta, and more and bake at home! I'll be back for sure! read more

We realized it was time for dinner and quickly made reservations for Grocer's table as the food and service is always good. Madison was our server and we were lucky to have her. As I said service here is always good but Madison added a little more fun to our dinner and we appreciated that. Everyone enjoyed what they chose and even though we were full, we decided on desserts because everything is made with such cares and with a special touch. I had th chocolate chip cookie, youngest had Nutella brownie, and we enjoyed and shared the rhubarb crisp. To say we would be back would be silly because it's our favorite restaurant in Wayzata read more

Came for dinner with a bigger group, and it was such a fun spot. They have a little shop and bakery area as well as the restaurant itself. The staff was super nice, and very helpful! Everything I had was good, but the pork chop was exceptional. Like easily the best pork chop I've had period. I also really liked the ribeye toast, it was not what I was expecting but it was so so good. IWould love to try their brunch sometime, but would definitely recommend for dinner. read more

My go to place for breakfast or lunch! Breakfast items like the Jam & Ham sandwich or the Shakshuka, All day Breakfast pizza and Megs Hash, all Terrific!!! The Lattes are Great as well. Now for lunch, Love the Spanish Tuna Melt! The Crispy hot Chicken, and Ferndale Turkey sandwiches are good as well. Can't go wrong with the All-American Burger, and don't miss out on the Hot smoked Salmon Salad, YUM!!! Some sweets for take home, the Blueberry muffins and the Pepsi cake. It's like a Big, Bright Beautiful kitchen inside, you order up front, and your food is delivered to your table. If there's a line, they get you through as quickly as they can. Always with a Smile! read more

Such a cute coffee shop/ restaurant/ specialty gift shop! The coffees tasted delicious!! I ordered a soft serve vanilla ice cream with olive oil and sea salt because I never tried that combination on ice cream before. I was taken to a shockingly pleasant adventure for my taste buds. The right amount of a subtle saltiness balanced well with the sweet. My friend order the chocolate Pepsi cake and tasted so good! They have beautiful seating outside when the weather is nice and it is seat yourself. They have lots of seating inside! Very nice workers! They have cute local gifts to shop for and specialty gifts when you first enter! They also have a restaurant part which is on the other side of the business! I will definitely come back and would love to try the restaurant part next time! read more

I've passed this spot so many times so I was glad to finally get a chance to try it with a friend for a Saturday lunch! I've heard great things and love the concept of a food & drinks and market spot all-in-one. The execution was a little confusing - it's probably due to the fact that it was packed in there! I'd recommend stopping in either before or past "prime time" of lunch or dinner since there aren't a ton of tables. We didn't wait too long for a table, but there wasn't a good place to stand without being in the way. I wish there were more options on the menu, but I ordered the chicken salad sandwich with fries. Fries were yummy, but I think i got maybe 4 or 5 total fries. The sandwich was good too, but overall I'd say prices are quite high here. Pretty loud so be prepared to talk a little louder. I would come back again, but I'll opt for a pizza or a salad or something! read more

Really busy on the weekends and more expensive than most lunch spots. But I love the vibe and being close to the water, so I figure it's worth it! The food is good and the coffee good! No WiFi so not a good wfh place read more

Everything was delicious and we had lots of kids and adults. Walk up service and plenty of tables.

It's tough not to love this place. You are seated with menus but then need to go order at the counter. That's a bit awkward and not totally obvious- so heads up. The food took a bit longer than desired for a larger group but once it arrived, it tasted great. The big difference here is the combo restaurant and store. They have numerous deli offerings and unique, high quality sauces, syrups and gifts scattered throughout the store so you have plenty to look at while you are waiting for your food to arrive. The prices are fairly reasonable and the location is great. Definitely coming back. read more

Honestly one of the worst meals I've had in recent memory. I ordered the special that day, eggs florentine, and it was nearly inedible. The runny egg is what makes a benedict, and these were nearly hard-boiled (they must make them as soft-boiled eggs rather than on a flat-top), and it was cold and hard by the time it got to me. Also had a bizarre mix of flavors--do not recommend. The experience was also not great--it took over 45 minutes to get our food, and it's a big, open space with very little to dampen the sound. The tea cake was so good, which is why it's getting 2 stars instead of 1. read more

One of the best layouts of a grocer / cafe I have eaten at in the great state of Minnesota. We have more of these in CA but on the beautiful shores of Wayzata has a mixed use space that has killer food, great coffee and a relaxed atmosphere to eat it all up. They are closed early in the week but have breakfast, lunch and dinner fare and you order before you sit and can browse the food items to go and fun decorative items that make this place really fun.... The negative reviews are ridiculous we had 4 breakfast entries all great, pastries and coffees and came back later in the week for wine! Give it a shot read more

Full disclosure - I did not eat here... I just grabbed coffee with a friend. The Grocer's Table was on my shortlist to visit. While I just had coffee - you can tell that the downtown Wayzata community calls this place home. There was a line when I got there at 8AM (when it opens). Plenty of suits and business attire... I should've brought business cards! I'm not a coffee snob - so I'd call my black coffee good. It was hot... and caffeinated... Perfect in my book. What I did notice was how popular The Grocer's Table was. It is obviously a go-to day starter and meeting place. It is a BEAUTIFUL space in the perfect location. Looking to avoid chains like Starbucks or Caribou? Come here and start your day with class. read more

Grocer's Table is certainly a fun spot to go to -- it's fun to peruse their pantry items and other gifts while waiting for your food. I got the Autumn Cobb, which was great -- it was well-composed and balanced. This and everything else on the menu is a tad steep (Wayzata prices and whatnot) and I do feel the restaurant could dedicate more of their energy to the food than the vibes, but overall, this is a solid call and a spot I'll return to when in the area. read more

Great cafe, coffee shop, and retail space. Lots of great food and drink options from the restaurant, and good selection of grab and go cheeses, snacks, and treats that are perfect for a picnic by the lake. The seasonal salad I ordered was beautiful and amazing! Perfectly poached pear, tasty dressing, fresh veggies, and they substituted the cheese in the salad on my request. It does get busy, and it's a little confusing to understand where to order or go first since there are multiple counters, but it's a very fun spot and bright spot that is great for a simple but refined meal. Prices are a little high because of the location, but it's a good "casual" option in the area. read more

This is our goto spot whether it's brunch or dinner after after hanging out on the lake. Typically very consistent and good food and service. Today was different. The orange juice was not the typical pulpy fresh squeezed one but one from a box. We waited for our salads for a good 30 min and when we asked out server, she realized that the salads were made but just sat on a random table coz the runner didn't forgot which table it went to! The green goodness salad always made with avocado today was made with a mayo based dressing! And the chicken was super super greasy. I hope it was just an off day with non regular kitchen staff! I hope they get back the usual good quality standards as we sure hope to keep it our goto spot! read more

I can't stop coming back to this place! The Grocer's Table is in the heart of the Wayzata Promenade, has options for both dining inside, outside, and take out, and features a rotating, seasonal menu so there's always something new to try. The staff are friendly, the service is quick, and when you're sharing dishes among the table - the bill doesn't add up too quickly. My favorite items so far are the wine flights, Smoked Fish Board (the absolute best!!!!), Crab & Lobster Cacio e Pepe, and the Shroomin' Pizza. The Smoked Fish Board is what I'm really coming back for each time. It features smoked salmon, trout spread, and sardines - with lots of picked veggies and an earthy, grainy mustard. It's served with a few slices of bread and thin crackers on the side. If you're a smoked fish lover - there's no better appetizer to choose from! I recommend The Grocer's Table to anyone stopping by the Wayzata Promenade for a casual lunch or a dressed up dinner! read more

Food was not bad. Service was beyond dreadful. Every table in the place had a big water bottle on it. Ours didn't. We asked for water from the server... "you bet!" with a huge smile but she never brought it. We had to march up to the hostess table ourselves to ask HER for water. Food delivered to table reasonably quickly but we had to request utensils. And napkins. The last straw was the $14 mocktail. Seriously?! No thanks. We left feeling pretty disgusted. read more

The food selection and the food itself was fantastic !! Summer days are beautiful here for sure! Fist time being in wayzata, came during state fair days so they offer some fun things on the menu too! Service was wonderful and everyone gave suggestions too ! Love that !! Food was delicious I recommend the crab and lobster pasta de Pepe !! read more

On Wednesday, July 2nd, a really good friend of mine met for an 8am coffee date. We stood in line for our breakfast and "Tory" who was checking us out did not greet us and actually told me "do not touch the glass please!" She was so rude. We are two female business professionals and school teachers having our first summer day off and this is how we are treated? We get to the coffee station and the two girls there - we also very crabby and did not say good morning, nothing. The entire "first experience" was definitely "forgettable!" We will not be returning NOR recommending this restaurant to anyone in our circle of family of friends. read more

While I love the concept of this place and the ambiance is on point, the food is a huge letdown and way overpriced. Made reservations for 6:30 on a Fri and I'm glad we did since it was super busy when we got there. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Indoors the left part is the market and bakery counter and the right is the dining area. We ordered the bbq chicken & blackberry salad (pulled chicken, blackberry, corn, cheddar, cornbread croutons, red onion and basil) and the crispy chicken sandwich (cucumber slaw, hot sauce on ciabatta) with jojo's (potato wedges) for and additional $4. First off, portions are way small for the price. I feel like my salad could have passed as an appetizer portion. It only had a couple pieces of chicken and the part I was most excited about, the cornbread croutons, had a weird taste to them. Like a rancid oily taste. And I only have 5 measly pieces. I will say the bbq vinaigrette it came with was delicious though. My partner was super disappointed in the chicken sandwich. It was not spicy at all and the chicken was not that crunchy and really flavorless. The whole sandwich almost ate soggy too. The only good part was the ciabatta. read more

Spendy for food that wasn't anything special. Burrito would have been really good had they given more salsa and also given red salsa with the green or maybe put pico in the burrito. It was very dry. French toast would have been more exciting maybe if the fruit was baked into it? I drove a long ways for this and it was disappointing read more

The food is SO good, love the ingredients that they select. It definitely adds a spin to their dishes. However, I would say it's an acquired taste with their cheeses and toppings. You must know that they do have the option to do full service and there was only ONE notice for their "please see host to be seated" . So I waited in line, ready to order then was sent back to this host stand that you would have trouble finding. Dining in takes SO MUCH LONGER rather then just ordering to go, but their menu is also different. 10/10 recommend the bruschetta, especially the olives!!!! read more

This is a fantastic spot for lunch or dinner when you're in Wayzata. I met up here with a friend around 2:00 pm on Friday for a late lunch / early dinner and I'm really glad we chose this restaurant. Not only is the inside super cute with all kinds of pantry provisions, at this time the line to order was very short and there were plenty of tables to choose from. You can eat indoors or outdoors on their patio but because it was 94° we chose to sit inside with the A/C. We both ordered the Crispy Chicken Green Goddess salads (romaine, crispy chicken, radish, watercress, avocado, parmesan, green goddess dressing) but subbed for caesar dressing tossed in. The salad was so fresh and they clearly used a bunch of high quality ingredients. Instead of avocado it was more of a guacamole but all the same the salad was so good and a huge portion! We also ordered the Classic Margherita wood fired pizza (though to be fair it was more of a flatbread with cured tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil). It was the perfect compliment to the salads we ordered. To finish, we both got one of their large chocolate chip cookies fresh from the bakery. This rustic cookie was phenomenal, they sprinkled sea salt on top and it really was moist and the perfect end to a wonderful meal. I'm now a big fan of The Grocer's Table and am excited to come back and try the rest of the menu. If what I ordered was any indication, I 10/10 would recommend this restaurant! read more

The food here is VERY good. As noted by others, the breakfast pizza is so yummy. The pancetta and egg make it! It even tasted great (maybe better!) when I had the leftovers the next day. The charcuterie board is PERFECT. Zero complaints. My biggest recommendation is to go Sunday night for their speciality burgers, specifically the banh mi burger. It was so good it should be illegal. It's a big burger, very filling. I'd skip the fries. They're four dollars and you only get like five. The only reason this isn't a five star review is because service has been hit or miss every time we go. The hosts are always great, but this last time we spent long stretches of time waiting (for the drinks, for the meals, for the check). I didn't mind too much because the food was phenomenal, but there's no denying the service could have been better. I know some people think Grocer's Table is expensive, and while it's not cheap, it is more affordable by Wayzata standards and ultimately I think the food is worth it. Pro-tip: if you like lavender, get the Sparking Lemon Lavender Shrub cocktail read more

The Grocer's Table - Daily Quiche - Cafes Near Me - Wayzata, Minnesota

This cafe and wine bar/grocer is a gem located in the heart of downtown Wayzata, just a few short from the steps of Wayzata. The space is absolutely stunning. Big windows let floods up light flow in and highlight all the beautiful woods, stone, and tile. The staff was prompt and friendly providing a very welcoming experience We were there for brunch and I went with the All Day Breakfast Burger. This beauty was stacked with a huge Snake River Farms beef patty, sweet & spicy candied pancetta, tomato jam, Beecher's cheddar, over easy egg all between an English muffin. Absolutely delicious. The muffin was soft and fluffy. The beef along with the pancetta and tomato jam offered a nice sweetness that paired perfect with the savory, rich cheddar! Yum! I absolutely cannot wait to get back and explore more of the menu items as well as the market! read more

What a hidden gem! I was VERY surprised by the poor reviews for this spot. I'm all about "you get what you pay for" so price range did not appear out of the ordinary for the quality of the food. If your looking for their staple on the menu I highly suggest their chicken sandwich!! If you want to still indulge in their crispy chicken the green Godess is a must to pair with! Their matcha green tea on ice hit the ultimate spot with a delicious chocolate chip cookie! What's great is they support a lot of their local vendors within the small shop inside and you can't go wrong with any item. Their service was also pleasant and attentive throughout. The ambiance is perfect for awesome photos of the dishes and outdoor seating is great to enjoy the area. Needless to say we made two trips on our small vacation! read more

Arrived on a very busy Saturday morning. They were very organized for what appeared to be chaos. Once inside, we were directed to obtain a table, get a number, then get in line to place your order. They then bring your order to your table and the wait wasn't as long as I initially thought it would be. We sat outside, lake in the background, watching people walking along the sidewalk. The food? Amazing! I had the Jam and Ham breakfast sandwich which consisted of ham, egg sunny side up, a berry jam o a Biscuit! It was delicious! My wife had the honey pancakes which melted in your mouth at every bite. I will be back to try more of their well thought out menu items. read more
