Heidi’s Huggamug Cafe

I met a strange lady, she made me nervousShe took me in and gave me breakfast(Men At Work)There's no need to fear any strange ladies working at Heidi's Huggamug, where servers embrace you with open arms and warm smiles that will melt the iciest of crabby night-owls' countenances in the morning.Friendly, enthusiastic service is key, as many customers turn into regulars...and often into repeat customers within the same visit, checking out goodies at the counter like delicious muffins, cinnamon rolls, and cookies. Sorry, there's no Vegemite sandwiches here, folks! Menus are located up at the counter where you'll place your order, grab your table stand number, and wait for a table inside or outdoors on the patio to clear out. During my latest visit, my nephew chose a Belgian waffle to split with me. Topped with powdered sugar, chocolate chips, strawberries, and whipped cream, this gigantic Belgian expat is a guaranteed delicious hit! Muscles aren't the only good thing to come from Brussels, you know! My mother ordered her favorite go-to, the half order of a fluffy cheese and ham omelet. There was still more leftover than she could finish, but that's Minnesota portions for you!For beverages my mother enjoyed a caramel latte, and my Mint Bliss left me elated! My nephew gave high praise to his chocolate milk as well, declaring it even better than the ones I concoct for him. Clearly I'm lodging a dispute in this matter.Overall, I highly recommend this café for coffee, cake, and cookie enthusiasts, Jean Claude van Damme, waffle and omelet lovers, and those who need a caffeinated hug in a mug. 4 stars, and hugs and kisses.

We went to Heidi's for breakfast this morning and wow was it a nice place to eat. The servers were so nice- something we have found everywhere in this area- and even tho there was a line, it went fast. This is a order at the counter spot with them bringing the food to your table. The coffee and tea we ordered was great, and the breakfast was so good!! They gave both of us a LOT of eggs in our dish. I had the burrito- no meat please and my sister had the dairy free version of an egg bacon and hash browns breakfast. Very l tasty. The restaurant was clean, and regularly tidied up. The food came fairly quickly and it was very fresh. We were checked on a couple times. It was a very casual and comfortable place to have breakfast

Wow, the most perfect BLT ever, delicious chips and coffee. Way to go Heidi! You're awesome!

I took my two nieces to Heidi's Huggamug for breakfast and we loved everything about this well run establishment. The service is great and the owner Heidi is always zipping about asking if you need anything and answered all our questions about the menu. She recommended the biscuits and gravy. I will be back with my Dad so he can have these.Definitely well seasoned with nice black peppery spices.The coffee and tea selection is extensive and also delicious. I like how you can order half an omelette or half an order of biscuits and gravy.. Hidi also has several fresh baked goods daily that are ready to go if you want to just grab a coffee and a cinnamon roll. Wonderful atmosphere casual and cozy. Beautiful setting on the lake with outdoor seating as well. I'll be back for lunch someday soon.

Food was hot and delicious! Portions were ample and even my toasted bagel was hot enough to melt butter which is unusual well done! They even offer egg whites in their egg dishes!!! My only thing I would change is to get staff to consistently close outside door behind them consistently when weather is cold to keep food warmer. Friendly staff great food!

Yummy breakfast, and great service! My friends and I enjoyed the small local cafe feel.

Cute spot. Food was fine. Speciality coffee drinks made promptly. Staff is very nice. But oh my gosh - we waited 45 minutes for our breakfast. It didn't seem SUPER busy. But it did seem perfectly acceptable and that this is the norm.

Every town should have a place like this, and is lucky if it does. A great place to grab coffee, breakfast or a quick lunch alone or with friends and family. Nice breakfast and lunch menus, and always a selection of freshly baked goods like muffins, cinnamon rolls, coffee cake, etc. Nothing fancy, just a nice selection of simple, basic foods and meals done really well. Attractive, spacious dining room. Outdoor seating in season. Friendly people and good service. Plenty of parking. Easy walk to the marina, beach and downtown.

I don't often post reviews but this was so beyond good, I just had to post. I was in Lake City yesterday for work and some local teachers recommended Heidi's. I got the Chicken Bacon Ranch wrap and a slice of their coffee cake. Let me tell you, that wrap was among the best I have ever eaten. Delicious to the last bite. I ended up saving the coffee cake and bringing it home with me. I ate it this morning and let me tell you, I was dancing in my kitchen from the first bite. Can't recommend this highly enough!

I live in Phoenix AZ but my daughter, husband and grandson live in Lake City. Everytime I visit we go to Heidi's at least once a day for great coffee and delicious home made treats...muffins, desserts etc. I even bought some to take home to my husband they are so great! Heidi is always friendly and welcoming and makes you feel like family. Love this place!
