I think this is one of the best breakfast spots in terms of flavor for what you pay. Prices are great for the portions you get and quality. I still rate this one of the best spots for kids to have breakfast as the menu for them is diverse and love the side of fruit they give. I decided to get the colosal caffe and I went with the maple turkey sausage and that was delicious! I had plenty leftovers. The eggs were cooked perfectly and my biscuit was ginormous. I love the jelly they give just wish they could give you a full jar of it. Parking for this place can be easy if there is room across the street in the parking lot otherwise you can get lucky with street parking. They have such a neat store in the back with tons of things to make a picnic basket or for gifts. They also have a beautiful display of bakery sweets when you walk in. That day I saw huge lemon and blueberry cinnamon rolls that looked Devine. If I had space I would have definitely ordered one.

The people, the food, the atmosphere, you can't find a better place to eat homemade food. Not to mention they take out bakery items. Holy buckets they are fabulous. I highly recommend the yeast pancake. Try it you'll know what I mean. it is so good.

Great for breakfast we really enjoyed the bowls of oatmeal with fresh berries then shared the pork and bison biscuits gravy.

Breakfast from scratch never disappoints! This place is a favorite of ours and never once have we had a problem! Fantastic service from the staff.

Great food and service every time. Why do you make me put a certain number of character? So annoying.

Great spot for a large brunch dish! The prices are very decent for the portions and quality. We all had the Scandinavian frittata - so yummy! You must get a biscuit , these were incredible! I really want to come back and get one of the colossal cinnamon rolls!

Before heading down to the Twin Cities, I searched for places to have Christmas meals catered. A couple of years ago, I had an excellent experience with Brasa. This year, it had Thanksgiving catering, but maybe decided to take a break doing the same thing a month later. I landed on getting takeout from Colossal Cafe. It has takeout orders twice a week at two different locations. It also featured a special Christmas takeout menu where I needed to pick up my order on December 23. Perfect! I went with this Colossal Cafe on Grand Avenue. It's slightly closer to where I'm staying and would take roughly fifteen minutes to drive over here. I got the following items from its Christmas catering menu: - Orange-glazed ham, with roasted carrots, mashed potatoes with gravy, fluffy roll, and candy cane brownie (two meals - one on Christmas Day and another on Boxing Day) - Chicken pot pie - Egg bake (chives, cream cheese, and spinach) - Triple berry french toast bake with crème anglais The idea is that you pay online. Credit cards work fine, especially when you aren't an American. You specify the time that you want to pick up on Saturday and head over there. Parking was busy on a Saturday on Grand Avenue. I parked briefly on the street and walked into the cafe. As expected, this cafe was fairly busy. I saw all the paper bags with food to my right. I was excited, but patiently waited in line. I had the nicest woman when I got to the front of the line. I said that I was here for an order and pointed to the paper bag with my name on it on my right. She was pleased that I made her life easier. She picked it up and let me know that it was heavy. It was in double paper bags that were extremely sturdy. I thanked her. She wished me a merry Christmas. I did the same and happily lugged my food to my car. I briefly headed back to my hotel room after running a couple of errands. I placed everything in the fridge and then headed to a Wild game. The food lasted a few days, which I appreciated. It was nice to take a break heading downstairs for breakfast and having a comforting bake instead. They all heated up nicely in the microwave oven in my room. I normally do turkey as the main. It was a nice change doing ham with the best orange glaze. The mashed potatoes were fluffy and buttery. The gravy was excellent. I loved the roasted carrots that required little chewing. The fluff roll was so good. The candy cane brownie was fudgy and minty. It was the perfect meal. I'm so glad that I got to relive it the following day! The chicken pot pie was amazing. You got the pie crust all around the pie. There were huge chunks on chicken, potatoes, onions, and peas in every bite. This pie was so filling and comforting as a meal. The egg bake was delicious. I never thought of putting dabs of cream cheese throughout the bake, but it was awesome with the chives and spinach. I'm so glad that I got the triple berry french toast bake. It was everything that I love. Blueberries. Raspberries. Blackberries. French toast. Crème anglaise. Excellent! I looked at this cafe's takeout menu. It has a chocolate chip banana french toast bake that sounds equally as yummy. As tempting as it was to get it, I decided to sit on it. Next time! The food was delicious and comforting. It was everything that I had hoped for and more. It made my Christmas and holidays special while away from home. I looked at the baked goods while I was at the cafe. I want croissants next. It was a fabulous find. I'll be back for more. (2)
