We come up to the family cabin every Independence Day weekend, but never realized that this was a…read morecoffee shop that served breakfast! My wife (a former townie) was enamored, and we returned twice more during our trip (though they were closed on Sunday morning), to the detriment of Caribou and Starbucks. Lattes were very nice -- though we requested extra hot on our second visit -- and served in an appropriately sized china cup when requested. Our breakfast selections were consistently yummy, unique and filling (though a bit pricey). On the other hand, the two baked goods I tried were dry and not very good at all, which cost them a half-star. The interior was pleasant, not overly crowded nor too loud. We spent almost an hour each morning visit to chat, catch up on the news, and play our games. I'm taking off another half-star given the demeanor of the wait staff...certainly not surly or impolite, but just did not appear to be that interested in working there. All in all, we'll be back the next time we visit.

A couple of sidewalk tables outside are also available but it was raining so we bellied up to the counter. People in there were so nice. Cake IS for breakfast.

Service is also terrific. Knowledgeable and friendly staff when asking about gluten free options. Restaurant seems clean and well-appointed. Takeout orders on time and accurate. Taking one star off though because the to-go orders come in styrofoam! Not only does styrofoam not biodegrade, it also leaches chemicals into the environment. And now, there are a lot of better options available that I would happily pay a little extra for. Please consider using different to-go containers. https://www.sustainablebusinesstoolkit.com/styrofoam-environmental-impact/

Was not as impressed with that however. Surprised what you can find in a Northern Minnesota range town.
