    Pulla French Toast was awesome. Almond latte was fantastic and stayed hot the whole time. Reindeer sausage was tasty and not greasy. Definitely recommend the entire experience.

    The strawberry cake is yummy. You should definitely try a slice of that. Though the slice is a little big. Also try sitting outside and enjoy watching the urban life if the weather is nice!

    Everything I have eaten has been delicious! Some entrees come with a side chosen by the chef daily, which is always tasty and fun.

    If it's your first time try the house breakfast or the potato lefsa scramble not to mention a chocolate brownie

    The pulla is amazing. So is the traditional Finnish breakfast. Not much else is very Finnish but I'll bet it's all just as delicious! Nami nami!

    took Mom for dinner tonight. She had the Lefse scramble and loved it. I had the Finnish Beef Pasty. It was terrific. Love this place.

    This is a small restaurant connected to Dunn brothers. Not a lot of seating options. But their walnut burger is great!

    I've had the pizza, muffins and scones here. All were very good. Can't wait to go back and try more.

    The consolidated layout is great but one counter means you have to wait for awhile to get something simple when it's busy.

    A great breakfast spot. Grab some eggs and sausage. Or just a pastry. The muffins are really great here!

    Pasties are the highlight of the menu. They're huge though, be warned.

    There's very little food here that is actually Finnish. That being said, the pulla french toast is disturbingly delicious.

    I came inside to eat breakfast right when it opened.The cook doesn't come in until later. How was I supposed to know? I waited and ate my breakfast. I won't be back!

    Food was so-so and the two ladies were not very nice. Heard the same from another person after the fact. Not that hard to be pleasant in a customer dependent business.
