In small towns across Minnesota, tiny diners, cafes, and eateries are at the centers of their communities. They’re places to gather, places to share stories, and – most importantly – places to get amazing food. There’s one small town in Minnesota that has one of the best small-town restaurants in the state. Amboy, Minnesota, is home to the Amboy Cottage Cafe, a charming spot that used to be a gas station. Take a look:
Amboy Cottage Cafe is located at 100 E Maine St., Amboy, MN 56010. It's about 100 miles southwest of Minneapolis.
The dining area is small but comfortable. The restaurant can seat 31 people, so European-style dining is sometimes the name of the game. It'll give you a great chance to meet new people.
Heartier meals are also up for grabs. The menu changes daily, often featuring seasonal produce and other special menu items. Every day is different at the Amboy Cottage Cafe!
Weekends bring amazing breakfasts. Swedish pancakes are a specialty, but you might also like the omelettes. Served with crispy hashbrowns, you'll be thinking about them all day.
And don't leave the restaurant without dessert! Handmade pies and pastries are available to eat inside or take home. No matter what you get, you're going to love it.
