This Tiny Cafe And Store In Minnesota Is Hidden In The Woods And Has Everything Your Heart Desires
Have you ever heard of Emmaville, Minnesota? If you’re like most Minnesotans, you probably haven’t. That’s because this unincorporated community in north-central Minnesota is as tiny as can be. With a population of only a few people, it’s no wonder that the town doesn’t have much by way of tourist attractions. But the one thing that it does have brings people in from miles around. It’s the Emmaville Inn, a tiny cafe and store that is hidden in the wooded lands of this lake country village. Read on below to learn more about the Emmaville Inn, then plan your visit next time you’re in the area!
The Emmaville Inn is a charming little store and cafe in Emmaville, Minnesota. About 12 miles outside of Park Rapids, Minnesota, it’s in a rural area surrounded by woods and lakes.
But if you venture inside, you'll find a whole host of other amenities. The Emmaville Inn is also a grocery store where visitors can load up on things they need at home or on fishing or camping trips. You can also get small souvenirs.
As for the food, you can’t beat the homestyle favorites on the menu here. You can’t go wrong with breakfast, whether it’s French toast, eggs and bacon, or a loaded omelette.
Later in the day, a burger or other sandwich are both popular choices. Filling and affordable - especially alongside a pile of fries or bowl of soup - these are favorites of many who visit the restaurant.
If you can’t get enough of the Emmaville Inn, you can also spend the night! They have a motel and a cabin that offer up basic amenities for those who want a clean and comfy place to spend the night. There are also RV sites for those who travel with their own beds.
Next time you’re up north, consider paying a visit to the Emmaville Inn. Though it’s in a tiny, remote town, it’s one of the best small-town places to eat in Minnesota!
