Place is absolutely everything you want in a cafe, delicious food, small town atmosphere, and great staff. Only down fall this place has is that it's ALWAYS PACKED and hard to get a seat.

So many things could be improved!
The friendliness of staff is more of a fair weather friend. If you don’t enjoy working with people and customer service in general this seems like a strange employment choice. If you don’t enjoy running a cafe why would you buy it?

When I lived in Albert Lea years ago the hours were still primarily in the early part of the day and the wait staff were polite and helpful.

Whoever owns this cafe now is apparently able to make a complete living off of only being open for 23 hours a week! They either don’t read reviews or they make enough money to not care.

A few days ago we arrived hoping for a late breakfast. We arrived at 10:25. Tried to open the door, it was locked. I looked at the hours and they closed at 10:30. Left disappointed.

Even with EXTREMELY limited hours, very limited seating, and limited or spotty customer service, it remains a popular place as people are willing to stand for a hour or more in a mass in a “phone booth” size entry way and glad they made it inside the door before the owner or wait staff locked the door to prevent any further customers from coming in.

Knowing all the circumstances ahead of time so you can plan accordingly is helpful.

We were traveling through and stopped in for breakfast. Small cozy place! French toast and bacon was good. My sister had biscuits and gravy it was good as well. We would stop again if in the area.

Best eggs and bacon that I’ve had in a long while! Great people, good service. I’m sure they have signs posted but just be aware that they are CASH ONLY. No ATM on sight.

Great little cafe makes you feel like you’re back home in your old favorite diner along the highway. Good food and a friendly staff - makes me wish I could eat here all the time! And those cinnamon rolls!

Great food at a reasonable price, parking is limited and they are popular so be prepared to wait. But worth the wait.
