Everyday Cafe in Cambridge, MN

It's called the Everyday Cafe....and we missed it on our visits to Cambridge.

North of Hwy 95 on Main Street, the Everyday Cafe is housed in a former A&W.   Knotty pine interior, with colorful red and turquoise chairs, and smooth booths, the current owners have run the place for about the last 2 years.   The walls are dotted with plaques of everyone's favorite slogans...

If you want to have breakfast in bed, sleep in the kitchen.  

When you try a place for the first time, you have to try a house special.  Today it was the BIG OINK.  You have your choice of doing a bunch of items as an omelette or as a 'stack'---piled on top of a plate of hash browns.  Yup...we were going up north to work so we opted for the stack.   Bacon, sausage, peppers, mushrooms, onions, cheese topped with 2 eggs---over medium, just as requested.   We also had to try the biscuit and gravy....well, because.

The portion of the Big Oink was, well, BIG.  Nice layers of meat, veggies, cheese on crispy hash browns...it filled the plate.   In each bite, your fork had a slightly different combination of

ingredients.  Fun to eat!   The biscuit was light and fluffy with tons of nice, peppery gravy--enough gravy to dip a few bites of Oink in it, for yet one more flavor combo.

Then there was the toast!   We're kinda used to bland toast at a lot of breakfast places.   Not at the Everyday Cafe.   The toast was seeded wheat toast--with seeds throughout and a crust studded with oatmeal and seeds.   It made FANTASTIC toast...like you actually noticed that it was good toast.  It was so good, we asked where it came from.   Turns out it's a proprietary product delivered thru Sysco, & the manager said it was pretty spendy per loaf---but the flavor was certainly worth it.

It was so good, that we bought a loaf before we left.  It made a great snack on its own while standing out in a field surveying the fruit trees to see which ones survived this snowy long winter and which needed a replacement...and it will be delightful tomorrow morning with some Bear Food jam.

Friendly small town service, a hearty meal made in an interesting way, and a place that serves really good bread with your breakfast.  We vote, Yes!   Give the place a try next time you're heading up Highway 65....and for sure ask for the wheat bread.
