this place is great- you can literally park on the street in front. fresh local produce and meat, great place for a coffee and something sweet to go or while you walk around. its sort of like a mini Whole Foods. very eclectic. some items are pricey and others are not.
some favorites: local brews, gluten free chocolate cake, grind your own coffee beans
You're in for a treat with a retro vibe and a huge variety of flavors, making it a must-visit for anyone looking for a fun ice cream experience!

Great ice cream, super-cool atmosphere! They have so many flavors to choose from, even dairy and gluten-free options! A very inviting place, and the antique decor makes me feel like I'm in an old-school diner. The line moves super quick, and I had the best milkshake of my life! I will definitely be coming here again. They even have another location on the Luther College campus that is open to the public that offers coffee, sandwiches, and ice cream! A hidden gem, for sure.
A vibrant spot buzzing with a diverse crowd and surprising vegan options, perfect for a lively Sunday breakfast.

I LOVED this place! Such a mix of customers, from farmers to blue collar workers to college students to hippies. I so appreciated the many vegan options--very pleasantly surprised as the restaurant doesn't look like it would cater to vegans. Also gluten-free options! Fast, efficient, competent service. The place was packed on a Sunday morning. Also, where there was an option for a version of the dish without the meat, the price was lower, which is only fair, as you're getting less. Fancy restaurants like Rubaiyat in Decorah did NOT give me this option, despite me asking. The only thing they offered was to not charge me extra for the gluten-free version.
Enjoy a delicious sandwich on a tasty gluten-free bun, perfect for refueling after a long day of exploring.

Excellent gluten free bun with my sandwich and great potato salad. Much appreciated after a long day traveling. Our waiter, he goes to Luther, was so nice. TY
Enjoy a vibrant atmosphere with locally sourced goodies and a variety of drinks on tap, but be ready for a possible wait!

Amazingly good food in a friendly atmosphere. Clearly labeled gluten free options too. Lots of focus on using local growers and suppliers, in addition to beer and cider on tap. It's a good idea to call ahead though since it can be busy. Enjoy!
My Pollo Asado and my friend's sopa tortilla were so delicious! Norma was our server, and not only was she delightful and kind, she was very efficient and knew what I needed when I said I couldn't have gluten. 😊 Can't wait to come back, and I hope when we do, we get to see Norma again!
With a killer selection of drinks, including energizing options and a standout chai with cold foam, this spot truly caters to diverse tastes!

Amazing drinks! They have a little something for everyone! Their energy drinks are amazing and I am a huge fan of the chai (especially with cold foam!) Very accommodating as well! I also love their food and how they have options for gluten free/dairy free as well! Overall, amazing!
I expected better. The place and bathrooms were nice, but the food was mediocre. I was most disappointed that, despite me asking, they did not give me a break on the price of a menu item that had an option to leave out the meat. It was good they offered this option, but as you're getting less of the most expensive part of the dish, you should get a couple of dollars off. Most places do this. And it encourages vegetarianism or veganism which is better for our planet. What they did offer was no extra charge on the gluten-free version, but why was there an extra charge for gluten free at all? It usually isn't more expensive in a restaurant. For a restaurant with such a reputation and so expensive, this seemed mean. The chef's excuse for not giving me a break on the price for leaving out the meat was that this was not how the dish was meant to be prepared. That seemed feeble. Then don't offer that as an option and make another menu item that is vegan or vegetarian! Service wasn't great either, but it was the server's first day and she tried. She made a few mistakes and didn't know if the fish was sustainably caught either. I don't blame her as much as poor training or selection of employee. Do better. One of the friends I was dining with is a writer who has given good publicity for this restaurant and recommended it. Not sure she will continue to.
