La Ferme

La Ferme – A Hidden Gem for Lunch in Alexandria, MN If you're in Alexandria or just passing through, make time for lunch at La Ferme, located right on Main Street in town. This cozy, welcoming café offers a relaxed, counter-service experience — you order at the front, and they bring your food to your table. It has a farm-to-table vibe with elevated comfort food that’s fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We stopped in for lunch before a wedding with a group of four and left completely satisfied. Each of us tried a different sandwich, and every one was a hit. My wife had the roast beef sandwich on gluten-free bread, which held up well and was packed with tender, perfectly seasoned beef. I went with the Cuban, loaded with tasty pork, ham, pickles, and mustard — a flavorful, classic combo done right. Our friends enjoyed the Italian and Chipotle Chicken sandwiches, and both gave it a thumbs up. What truly sealed the experience were the cookies — warm, fresh from the oven, and absolutely delicious. La Ferme is well worth the stop for lunch: unpretentious, inviting, and full of flavor. A local gem in downtown Alexandria.

Mother's Day brunch was delicious, perfectly portioned and amazingly gluten free for my sister who has celiac. They were able to customize the menu so she could eat everything we did. Only wish they had prosecco by the bottle vs just a glass. Would definitely come back for another special occasion.
