My dad and I were on a motorcycle ride heading to Duluth. Was early morning and we were hungry. We didn't know if we were going to stay at first but the lady walked up to us warm and friendly and seated us. The atmosphere was old hometown from days of old. The hot cup of coffee was just what we needed as our morning on the bike was a brisk one. We ordered our food and when we received it it was definitely hot and fresh. ( I took a bite too quick and did the whole open mouth hot hot hot bit) Dad had millies veggie stuffed hashbrowns and I had the country skillet and we both had the cook's homemade sweet rye bread. The portions were large for the price and oh my goodness it was delicious. The bread just had a slightly sweet taste to it and the melted butter was spread perfectly across the top. You ever get overly excited about food? Yeah that was the both of us. Kids at Christmas if you will. Lol. We stuffed ourselves to the point of a much needed nap would soon follow in the near future. ( I actually dozed off on the back of the bike about an hour later) I loved the atmosphere, the hustle and bustle of the breakfast crowd in a small town Cafe and the breakfast was just absolutely perfect. Cannot express just how wonderful it all was. I regret not being able to eat that last slice of sweet rye bread but I just couldn't push myself to do it. 10/10 would definitely make the trip again if I ever get the opportunity. (I live in iowa) I saved the location in my maps for future reference.

School House Cafe is one of our favorite breakfast spots!! The carmel rolls are large enough to share. The pancakes are the size of the plate and absolutely delicious. The french toast are giant Texas toast pieces of goodness.

This place has the cutest atmosphere!!

This place is exceptional, the food is always good, and the service is great. You can never go wrong with the breakfast, it's way more than I can eat and always delicious. If you don't try the sweet rye bread, you're missing out

This place is my favorite of all time!! The main cook makes the best chicken salad sandwich. I could eat a whole loaf of that sweet rye bread. They are struggling with young staff like most people but any inconveniences is totally worth it!!! You always get large portions here! Stopping here is a must for me whenever I am driving through even if it isn't a meal time.

Wow! Absolutely incredible breakfast. HUGE portions (I recommend the Bus Driver). Great coffee. Excellent service. Will be back if I'm anywhere near the area again.

We stopped here on a long travel back home. It took over an hour to get our food which was challenging, but it seemed like everyone came in at the same time and only one waitress. The order came out correct and tasted good. The pancakes are huge.
