Greeting Text

Following twenty years of farmer's markets selling locally grown vegetables, native fruits, and local honey Linda created Marianne's Kitchen in Shoreview, MN, an oasis of good food, conversation and laughter in a suburban food desert. Operating from 2011-2017 the cafe offered home made soups, fresh bread baked daily, great sandwiches and treats and a complete line of gluten-free soups, pickled products, jams, jellies, salsas and locally sourced soups, honey and grains.

The Marianne's Kitchen of sharing, conversation, and learning continues with ongoing commentary, food reviews and food finds as we grow, cook and eat our food and sample local restaurants.

Wong Cafe - Rice Street

The Wong Cafe on Rice Street in Roseville does not offer much in atmosphere; that might be an understatement.  Thirty-five years ago they moved from their long-established Selby Avenue location.  We ate at the Selby site and continue to visit them.

It appears that much of the business is take-out chow mein.  If you look past the standard fare you'll find very nice options like chicken lo mein.  The crisp vegetables and nicely quartered broccoli and egg all adds to a very pleasant entre.

The Twin Cites has certainly experience a broad shift in Chinese and Asian options since the 1970s, and unfortunately is now often represented by large all you can eat buffet options.

Wong's is a bit a throwback but we're never disappointed and the owner is focused and friendly.
