Balsam Lake Cafe

Great place for breakfast! The owner Angela is so sweet and very fun to chat with. Food was delicious and homemade. Try the mimosa with blackberry, I cannot get enough!!

Delicious home-cooked breakfast... made with love by hardworking owner! She puts in the LOVE! Also had a yummy latte! She has frozen meals available to take home. This gal is doing a lot of things right!

This place was pretty decent overall. We were seated quickly and ordered coffee and food. The cappuccino I got was so-so, mostly because it didn’t have much foam, so it felt more like a latte (not a big deal). The eggs Benedict was delicious, and I would order that again! We also got a breakfast burrito, but it was given to someone else by mistake. We had to wait quite a bit to get it, but we were not charged for it, which was appreciated. The burrito also tasted great! We tried a couple cinnamon rolls, which were a bit too sweet and didn’t have much flavor, in our opinion. Overall, pretty good and we would love to come back!

We were the only patrons in there this morning at 9:00 am. Food was amazing. We had the corned beef hash and eggs benedict with hash browns. Waitress greeted us with a small and small talk. If I had to say anything negative it would that we had to ask for coffee and tea refills. Space appeared clean. Prices are a little higher, but not unexpected from a small business making fresh or made from scratch meals. We are contemplating returning tomorrow for breakfast to try something different. They also have some frozen ready to heat meals to go which are a great option if you don’t want to go all out grocery shopping. I’ve read through many of the negative reviews. We had the opposite experience as we had a great interaction with our waitress.

Absolutely delicious! The carmel roll was decadent, best homemade corned beef hash ever! The pancakes, biscuits, country fried steak, we were all raving. And such a friendly cozy atmosphere. We'll be back!!
