Jensen's Cafe

Every good town needs a trustworthy cafe for a weekend brunch and Jensen's is Burnsville's tried and true! Small parking lot outside, but we've been lucky to always find a spot when we've gone! Big dining room but fills up quickly on the weekends. Get there early or expect a small wait. We were lucky enough to snag a bar area high top on our latest trip! Service is alright...they are frequently very busy so servers can be overwhelmed, but it hasn't negatively impacted our experience. The food is lovely!! Traditional brunch foods with a bit of class... definitely not greasy, diner breakfast! I've usually stuck with the Biscuits and Gravy, which are yummy! Do yourself a favor and always upgrade to the cheesy hash browns...you won't be upset ;)

If you want a home cooked meal but don't feel like cooking then visit Jensen's Café. This restaurant is very charming, makes delicious food, and has great service.I was assisted by Grace, they provided perfect afternoon service, kept the water glasses filled and was helpful with recommendations. I arrived around 1:15pm and the place was busy but thankfully there was no wait and I sat in a booth. I had the garden scramble, with harvest toast, and cheesy hashbrowns $13.95. I also heard they make a yummy cinnamon roll and I have a sweet tooth so there was no way I wasn't ordering this as a starter. Coming from Atlanta I wasn't surprised by the $8.95 price and thought it sounded about right. Let me tell you, when Grace arrived with my caramel roll, I said, I only ordered one, she said I know, this is it. It was a mini loaf, I couldn't' believe my eyes. It was large enough to feed a family of 5! It was so delicious, soft and full of cinnamon and the perfect amount of sweetness. I want to have one delivered to my home in GA. If you are ever in the Minneapolis area or close to Bloomington drive to Burnsville and visit this casual café. The food was Amazing and affordable, this is very rare these days. Seriously everything I ordered was perfect!

Roast beef and burgers were great. Fries were served fresh. They use real potatoes. Check out the menu attached. They have variety of options. You can order at the counter, take your number and bring it to your seat. There is ample parking so no need to worry about parking your car.

Treated myself to lunch today at Jensen's Cafe. I'm glad this place is within walking distance to my apartment because I've found my new favorite neighborhood breakfast/ lunch spot! The service was fantastic. I was seated right away. The server was very friendly and attentive to not just me, but the customers around me as well. The food came out quickly and was delicious! I got the kitchen sink omelet and cheesy hash browns. If you get any of the breakfast items, definitely opt for the cheesy hash browns as a side because they were SO good!

We had a wonderful outdoor patio experience at Jensen's today! The staff are always friendly and patient despite our indecisiveness and many questions. We sat outside and although there was a moment of firetrucks and police sirens, the rest of lunch was very nice and relaxing. We decided on Biscuits and Gravy with Cheesy Hashbrowns, Kitchen Sink Scramble with Cheesy Hashbrowns and the Monte Cristo with Cafe Potatoes. I can only speak on the Monte Cristo because that's what I got, but from what I was told the Cheesy Hashbrowns are ridiculously good and both the scramble and biscuits n gravy were delicious! But that Monte tho!!! It's a must try, especially if you can't decide on something savory or something sweet. This dish offers both as it has a french toast like bread dusted with powdered sugar and paired with a berry dipping sauce. And then on the savory side, you've got a triple decker of ham, turkey and so much melty cheese. I got Cafe Potatoes with it and was surprised, I don't usually care for potatoes but the flavor of these made it hard to stop eating them... very addicting. I've only ever had the breakfast food here but I'd love to come back and try out their lunch/dinner menu. I also can vouch for their bloody mary and bloody maria, if you're a fan of bloodies check those out!!!

Great food & although there was a short wait - it was well worth the time! Service was perfect - place was clean & it was fun to shop at the gift place next door!

5/5 Awesome greeter. Made me feel welcome and host took me to the back of the restaurant to my table. I ordered caramel roll for starters. It was HUGE! But very delicious. It wasn't dry the caramel made the cinnamon roll very delicious. For my main course had three bacon, scrambled eggs and wheat toast with the side of breakfast potatoes. The bacon was thick and crispy. Thanks to the waiter who was able to move me to the window seat. When I asked him. Amazing customer service. Ambiance was nice and clean and just felt like home.

Located in a busy Burnsville area on a Sunday parking near the door wasn't easy but we took advantage of the parking ramp close by. I have been here on a weekday and could snap a spot in the lot. We were welcomed with a warm hello. It is a cozy spot with booths as well as tables and even though it was busy we were seated right away. Service was speedy but the waiter stressed we had as much time as we needed to make our decisions. I ordered the strawberries and cream waffle and it was delightful and very filling. My scrambled eggs and sausage were great! They are generous enough to add an additional potato side.

Jensen's is everything you could hope for and more when it comes to breakfast. They use the best ingredients and have delicious locally roasted coffee. There is something on the menu for everyone. Expect a wait on the weekend. Regardless of when you dine in or take out, the service is top notch. I appreciate the cleanliness and overall experience of Jensen's.

We always go sit at the bar in the back. Great service and food. The bartender always offers suggestions if she hears you discussing changing something or what you feel like. Great place for brunch and drinks.
