Ellen's Bakery & Cafe

One of the best brunch spots around!! Classic cafe vibes with a very good bakery attached as well. The service is incredible and also on point. Ask for Red to be your server! The duck hash here is my favorite around. I also always get the hot vanilla latte and a soup. The last soup I had was lamb barley which was incredible. They do such a good job on everything!

This is my second time here. The first time was for brunch and I got eggs - and to my recollection they were good. This time I ordered lunch. The item was on a specials list: a chicken sandwich on focaccia with a spinach artichoke layer. It was tasty (though not very big) and doesn't come with a side and was $14. Things are getting so expensive but that's everywhere. Not just here. My husband got a walleye sandwich and loved the seeded bread it was on. Again no side beyond a pickle slice. If you add a coleslaw or fries it becomes a $25 lunch entree The server was friendly and attentive and this was an overall enjoyable meal.

My family enjoyed lunch from Ellen's Bakery and Café yesterday. I really liked the turkey and Brie sandwich, my little niece had a BLT. My mother had barbecue, so delish. They were easy to find and made life so much better. Let me just say we had a tough situation in our family and Ellen's staff, especially Red, helped save the day.

Came in with a friend for the Sunday Brunch rush. This place is split into two spaces: the first is the original bakery where you can pop in, grab a latte and pastry, and be off on your way. However, it also doubles as an awkward waiting area for anyone who wants to sit in the restaurants. The second area is a traditional dining restaurant area. There are a few tables, but if the patio's not open, it's a bit of a tight squeeze.There was a decent wait for 2 adults and 2 kids, but the staff were friendly and communicative as to where we all were in the line up. When we were finally seated, our host was very friendly and eager to make sure we got our food. The food itself was solid. There were sooo many things on the menu that I wanted to try, but sadly, I can only eat so much in 1 setting. So I went with my classic corned beef hash breakfast order. It was a solid choice, nothing exceptional, but still a quality experience.Overall, I'd be curious to come back here to try some of their other menu options, though I'm not convinced it'd be worth coming back here on a Sunday morning at peak hour though. If you live nearby, this is a great local haunt, otherwise, I'm not convinced it'd be worth going out of the way for.

My favorite breakfast spot when I'm in town. Cute and cozy and clean. Food is always fresh & good. Service is average. Hostess who is older can be a bit micro aggressive, but if you just check her once she stops :) The kitchen is on the slow side, so I don't recommend stopping if you are in a rush. Bakery items that are gluten free are good.

Another delicious item from Ellens! Simply delicious! The bakery/restaurant is welcoming and clean the ambiance is wonderful and staff is super friendly and helpful.

Stopped in for a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll.I like that I got the coffee in a mug. The cinnamon roll was good. It was cakey on the outside layers, but cinamony on the inside. The cafe area is nice with a mix of tables.

After all of these years, I still love this place. The food is good and the service is always good. Portion sizes are large because everything is a la carte.I ate half of my salmon burger and my son only could finish one taco. The sweet potato fries are really good. They have great flavor and a really nice crunchiness to them.

4 stars for the host, Annie and the expeditors, but my experience at the bakery tarnished it.The woman working the counter with glasses was quite off-putting. Despite there being no one else in line, there wasn't a pleasant welcome feeling and felt like she was rushing me. Another woman near the tables seemed to have a special order, as she was standing around looking out the window, when I arrived. As I browsed the selection, I chose one item and was asked if I wanted anything else. Before I could answer, a tall guy interrupted the employee helping me. I had to wait till he finished to talking to her.I gave her another choice and walked over to look at the cookies. While I was still browsing, I heard her yelling, "Anything else?" When I glanced over, she gave a snarky look to the lady by the tables, as if I was being difficult or taking too long. This made me very uncomfortable.At checkout, the tall guy came around and reprimanded the staff loudly, which made things awkward for me and the employees...is this how they conduct themselves here? I asked the woman helping me if she was the head baker, and she said, "No, I'm in sales." I hope she gets some more training on that customer service. The baked items I got were okay so considering that and the service. I don't think I'd come back.

The food is always top notch at Ellen's. Their tuna melt on gluten free bread is a treat! First time for ordering take out - food was ready on time and staff was welcoming and helpful.
