Great stop for breakfast. Swedish pancakes with lingaber jam was the highlight. Super thin stacked cakes are dense and very good. Long wait of 45 mins on the Tuesday after Labor Day when we visited. Highly recommend the meatballs and more jam. Other breakfast fare is pretty standard. The hot cocoa was a scene with the heaping dollop of whipped cream. Very delish. Noise level is a bit much with close quarter seating. Not great for seniors or anybody with poor hearing.
Best breakfast around! It's a little pricey, but par for the course for the area. We always go the Tuesday after labor day when the wait time for a table is more realistic. We were told hour wait, but it was only 30 minutes. They move customers in and out fairly rapidly. Love the Swedish pancakes and meatballs.
Breakfast is absolutely amazing, you have to get the lingonberry pancakes! And love, love, love the gift shop! 🥰
