Balsam Lake Cafe

We have been dining at the wonderful establishment for 3 years and both the food and service is beyond amazing and enjoyable! Thank the entire staff and ownership for your hard work and dedication to what you provide day in and day out!

We are regulars here. The food is always fantastic and the staff are incredibly friendly. Highly recommend to everyone. And the take and bake food is also fantastic.

Great service and consistently delicious food. It's a bit pricey, but what isn't these days? Be sure to try the Denver omelet and iced mocha!

I visited the restaurant over the 4th of July weekend to grab some coffee to-go. We ordered three iced coffees and were instructed to wait outside. After 20 minutes, we went inside to check on our order, and the woman in charge was quite rude to us. She appeared overwhelmed by the lunch crowd on a holiday weekend. While the other staff members were friendly, the woman in charge wasn't very pleasant.

This casual and friendly café deserves a solid 4.5-star rating. The service here is incredibly warm and accommodating. The food is delicious, with the standout dish being the eggs cooked over easy — absolutely perfect! The sausage gravy was also quite tasty, along with the breakfast potatoes. As for the Chicken Fried Steak, I would rate it a 3.8; the chopped steak didn't appeal to me as much. If you decide to visit, you can expect consistently good food from my multiple visits, along with excellent service in a charming small-town café atmosphere. If you tend to be in a hurry, this place might not be for you—though there is a McDonald's in St. Croix Falls if you prefer fast food (just kidding)! They also have a lunch counter. Wishing you a wonderful experience at Balsam Lake Café!
