Not Justa Café

Not Justa Cafe is a cute cafe in Bayport. I went around 11am on a Monday morning and it wasn't busy. The service and food was quick. My server was friendly and helped me decide what to order. I ordered the country fried steak and a coffee. The country fried steak came with eggs, toast, and a hash brown for $13.50. I ordered my eggs scrambled and they came as very thin strips of eggs cut up, different, but they were fine. The highlight of my meal was the hashbrowns. They were thin, so more crispiness than not. The country fried steak was not anything I would come back for. The steak itself was good but I've never had country fried steak with a brown gravy. It just didn't hit the spot like usual. I would come back but would definitely try something different!

I stopped into not just café with my boyfriend and I was blown away. It is a small joint so not great for large parties, but the ambiance was charming by every definition of the word. I got a fish sandwich and fries that were absolutely delicious. Service was quick and accurate. The prices also cannot be beat! Overall a great experience that is worth straying away from the chaos of Stillwater to get some incredible food in a relaxed friendly environment.

If your looking for a great place to go for breakfast on the weekend highly recommend it here. They serve the classics and much more if that's not what your in the mood for! The staff are very friendly and if you are regular they treat you like fam! Went here a few months ago with family and they knew one of my family by his first name and even knew his order! Truly so kind! It's on the smaller size but plenty of room and enough table space for family brunch! Check this out if your in the area!

Large portions and fairly price but meh for flavor We've driven by this place for years and decided to finally stop in for breakfast. The place is busy! It's one of the restaurants in Bayport so I understand why it's so popular. We ordered the pancakes with strawberries and whip cream, Denver omelette, cinnamon roll and a side of bacon and side of hash browns. The kitchen was backed up but we were told before we ordered so I was fine with the wait. Pancake - it was somewhat dry and a little crispy. There was no flavor to the pancake itself but once you added syrup or strawberries it was ok. While it was HUGE I would not order again.Cinnamon Roll - soft and delicious. Would highly recommend.Denver Omelette with hash browns - hash browns were done perfectly. Crispy and a little greasy. The omelette was a little runny for me but they really filled it with ham, onions and peppers. Over all the food was ok. For what's available in the immediate area it's worth checking out.

The waffles here are amazing. The batter is flavorful, and they're brown and crispy. The mold is perfect too!I wasn't a huge fan of my Denver omelet. I think the cheese was American, and there was ALOT of it. It was overwhelming.This might seem insignificant, but the toast was buttered perfectly, and was very good. Sometimes pre-buttered bread is just dabbed inconsistently... but this was perfect, lol.I have a pet peeve, and I hate waiting an extra long time for food (especially because I typically have young kids with me). It took an hour after we ordered to get food, and that's just too long for breakfast. Especially when 80% of what was ordered was waffles.

What a great find. We stopped for lunch then came back 2 separate times within the month. Food is good, inexpensive and served with a smile. They will make alterations ( un like other places) and the soup is better than others at twice the price. Sit on the cafe side or the bar side, the same food either side.

Hidden gem in Bayport, this spot has a lovely patio with bags and other yard games, and a cozy indoor space as well. Dog friendly patio, but note the limited seating, make sure to get there early and snag a seat. Food is very standard cafe food, i enjoyed my wrap but wasn't blown away. Service was great, very attentive wait staff. If you're looking to soak up the last bit of MN sunshine, check them out!

I absolutely love this place whenever I am in the Stillwater area. My friend lives in Stillwater and whenever we are together, we go here for breakfast. Just classicly amazing breakfast at reasonable prices. They never disappoint! I usually get the french toast with bacon and it always hits to the spot. It does get a little busy on the weekends, but we never have an issue getting a table. Highly recommend if you're looking for some good breakfast food!

We had no idea how tiny this cafe was until we walked in. If we had known, we probably wouldn't have come on a Sunday for breakfast since we would have guessed that it would be hard to get seated, but there was an empty table or two. While we were there, we noticed that the place always remained full, but rarely was anyone waiting for a table. This place is cute. Sort of a modern-cafe style. There is a diner counter as well as tables and booths. Lots of things on the walls to look at. Bright, cheery, clean. Busy atmosphere sounds, but nothing that prevented a conversation with my husband.We sat down and almost immediately the server greeted us and shortly after that, delivered two waters and menus. She was working hard and efficiently for all the tables and booths in the care. Another server worked behind the counter. Both were busy cleaning, delivering, refilling, stocking, etc. Hard workers with friendly attitudes! That said, the food was a little slower than I've experienced before coming out after we ordered.To the food...- I had the Mexican omelet which was delicious. And huge. Like, really big. The sausage in the omelet was cut up sausage links, which didn't bother me, but may for some people. (4.5/5) It came with hashbrowns which were crispy and plentiful (5/5); as well as toast which was slathered in butter (yum!) but could have been toasted just a bit longer.(4/5) I also ordered one piece of french toast. They do not shy on the butter, which makes it all taste great. The french toast was good (5/5). The syrup was "ok" - very grocery store syrup tasting (3.5/5). It would be great if they had a real maple syrup. - My husband ordered the country fried steak. (4/5) It came with beef gravy, which they double checked with him about when he placed the order, since most people are expecting a sausage gravy. His meal also came with eggs (3.5/5) and toast (4/5) and he ordered a side of bacon (2/5). The bacon was pretty undercooked, unfortunately. The part that wasn't undercooked had a good smoky flavor. I've had bacon at this place before and it's usually very crispy. We probably should have asked to have it cooked more. He ordered his eggs "over medium" and one came out as would be expected and the other was overcooked. He also had hashbrowns and they weren't as crispy as mine because it was a thicker stack, so that was a little disappointing. (3.5/5)We left full. I can't imagine anyone would leave this place hungry.

I went with my husband on Monday 9/16 11am. This WAS one of our regular places. No more. We chose a table and sat down. The table was still wet from wiping it down so my husband asked the waitress to please dry it off. She said I don't have anything dry, use your napkins. !! We began to do that and he said we're going to need more napkins. She whirled around and said you could have sat at another table or the counter! I said she's trying to kick us out! He told me we're staying so she can serve us! The waitress said loudly why don't you go to the other side in the bar area where someone else can wait on you!! So we left. As we got to the door my husband swore at her. He had never done that before in his life. The way she acted was worse than swearing. What a vile attitude she had. After reading all the other bad reviews I see they go back for years, so it's clear no one cares. This place should be shut down for good. People like this should not work in customer service. There are plenty of other jobs not dealing with the public and this is where she and others like her belong. DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE ABUSED. This review is only for the Bayport location.
