The Finnish Bistro has been on our must-visit list for a while, and today we finally made it! We stopped in for a light lunch and were instantly impressed by the array of tempting menu items and baked goods. We opted to share the Finnish Traditional Breakfast, and when it arrived, we were stunned--it could easily have fed 3-4 people! It was like a cold-platter that you can make your own open faced sandwiches (much like the Danish smørrebrød). Herring and Smoked Salmon in their own little bowls with red onions and capers, salami, Swiss cheese, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers accompanied by fresh made Finnish rye bread and a creamy dill sauce. The herring and smoked salmon were clear standouts, especially with a drizzle of the creamy dill sauce, which complemented the salmon perfectly. We had plenty of leftovers which will be great for lunch or a snack later.The bistro itself is spacious, with ample seating both indoors and outdoors, and even features a small stage for live music in the evenings. The cozy, rustic decor added to the inviting atmosphere. Though we were too full this time, the bakery had an enticing selection that we'll have to try on our next visit--perhaps with a mid-afternoon coffee and dessert.The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, contributing to the warm, "hygge" ambiance. We're already looking forward to our return!

A cute and cozy coffee shop with a large assortment of pastries and other food items. I ordered the chicken and wild rice soup, which was delicious. It was a perfect meal on a cold day. The bread that it came with wasn't anything special, though it did make the meal more filling. I also ordered a latte, which was solid. Overall, the service was nice. Friendly and helpful. The food and drinks also came out relatively fast. I'd definitely come back to try more things.

This has become "our bakery" for my former college roommate and myself. She lives in Cincinnati so we only see each other once a year, or so. The food here is phenomenal. I can highly recommend the Ham & Cheddar quiche as I've been craving it since the last time she and I went here. And of course their bakery goods are as mouth-watering as they look. If you have a special place in your heart for truly delicious European style pastries, you will be truly satisfied.

We stopped in for some early afternoon coffee on St. Patrick's Day and the joint was hopping! The staff was friendly and service was relatively quick despite being busy. Maybe this is just me, but I didn't mind waiting a minute longer while the barista chatted with a woman (I'm assuming a regular) on her way to the bingo hall. It added to the friendly, neighborhood feel!I noticed a couple yummy looking gluten free items on the menu and the GF sweets in the case looked safely separate, but I can't vouch for taste (yet). What I can vouch for is the delicious, strong black coffee my husband got, and the uniquely delicious latte I got (Monin syrups were clearly visible behind the counter - great for GF drinks)! We are looking forward to returning for either the food or any of the events advertised around the bistro!

I came in for a quick meeting and absolutely loved the pastries! The people working were very sweet and patient as I struggled to figure out what I wanted. Also, had music starting that I did not know about, and it sounded really great!

Homey local bakery and cafe that gives the feeling of having been there much longer than it's 20 years. They have a huge pasty case in addition to a few other food items and a variety of drinks. The quiche is MASSIVE and comes in several flavors daily. I'm particularly fond of the chocolate torte cake - chocolate lovers must try if it's available when you visit! It seems to be a popular working and meeting spot for students and professionals alike. I noticed quite a few customers were on a name level with the staff, so there's clearly a loyal fan base. Parking can be a little tricky when it's busy.

Forgot I had been here before. Met my friend for breakfast and a bloody mary on a Saturday. I forgot that it was order yourself and they deliver it to you. Place gets pretty packed which gives off the feel of eat and get out. Ordered the lefse scramble which was pretty good. The bloody mary I was so looking forward to was okay. It had a funny taste to it. I had hoped it would come with a pickle, olive or even some celery but comes completely plain. Skewers extra. Cute little place. Desserts and pastries look amazing.

Came in here a couple of times when I had business in the area for drinks and a snack. Tried the blueberry muffin which was so moist and sweet but not too sweet. For drinks, I tried separately a London Fog and a chai latte. The London Fog was perfect and I had the option to add lavender or vanilla or both. I added vanilla which was the perfect kick of sweetness. The chai was just OK but still hit the spot that I needed.

Almond 2 O'clock was terrific. Coffee was... fine. Perhaps my standards are to high for basic drip. Staff were efficient and polite and both inside and outside spaces were bright and comfortable. There are A LOT of tables in a small space, but with many solo patrons taking up entire tables, it might be more a cultural issue than an interior design problem.

sandra - i thought that they may have ordered ahead was a possibility, but that was not communicated to us and that is all you would had to do improve your rating and the chance of our return.
