Great ambiance and food. Loved all the decorations, especially in the loo. Make reservations in advance to assure your table!

We heard about this place and wanted to check this out! I was simply amazed to find this place in such a small town in Amboy, Minnesota! This is a must go to restaurant with a unique flavor and atmosphere. Reservations are required. Covid 19 practices a must. The food was simply amazing. Nothing fried here! All homemade! I highly recommend this place! If i could give it a higher than 5 stars, I would!! I had Olive Chicken Fettuccini along with Caramel Apple Bread Pudding. Great service and very clean and unique bathroom. Art is also for sale there.

Okay I worked here up until recently so my opinion may be a little biased but this is my FAVORITE place. Looking to take mom out for breakfast, brunch or lunch? CALL to make reservations NOW. It is a small place with limited staff so it fills up fast and unfortunately people do get turned away. But if you've ever eaten here you'll understand why. Great place to work, great place to eat and spend time with those you love. I've added all the photos I could find from my 2 years here so keep in mind these go back to 2021. The second photo is the absolutely delicious Cinnamon Roll cake Lisa made for my surprise birthday party in '21. I could go on forever.

This is a cute little cafe. You need to make reservations as it is fairly small, but don't let that turn you away. The food service and atmosphere are all very excellent!

Absolutely Charming! We saw the Amboy Cottage Cafe on a Minnesota TV show a few years ago. We finally took the time to drive here for breakfast. This is the best breakfast in Minnesota! The cozy atmosphere and breakfast is perfect! The everything omelette and fresh pastries are a must try! We will be back very soon.

Great place to stop at. Plan to take a little time here to enjoy the Scandinavian atmosphere. We were a group of six for breakfast and five had the Swedish pancakes. Everyone cleaned their plates. I had the Quiche and that was just the way I like it.This is a small place and you do need to make reservations.

Quaint, cozy atmosphere. Delicious food and friendly service. Pizzas served Saturday evening from 5 - 8. They also had live music on Saturday evening when I was here. Small Cafe - you might want to call for reservations if it's Saturday evening. Beautiful flowers all over. Very nice.

We heard good things about this little Cafe, so we stopped in for dinner this evening. The place has a quaint charm, very clean & "homey". We called earlier in the day for reservations, recommended as they have 7 tables that seat from 2 to 6 people. A wonderful menu is offered. I started with a cup of the Hungarian noodle soup. It was good. For dinner I ordered the coffee rubbed steak & baked potato, delicious! My wife ordered the harvest bowl & kettle chips. They accomodated her dinner for her vegan diet. She loved it! The service was excellent as well, friendly & helpful. Great food, wonderful service and comfortable ambiance (the classical music in the background was relaxing as well). I highly recommend this little gem in quaint Amboy.
