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!

OMG! This place is awesome! Super friendly service & yummy food! There have GF options for breads, pastries, & pancakes! My friend and I split the Walnut/Veggie Burger & the Favorite Flat Bread Pizza!

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

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

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!

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

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

The Famous Walnut Burger is delicious! The wait might be a little long but it's worth it :)

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

Delicious omelette with braised pork, and the Almond crispers are great!

Limited seating on the weekends, but the Pulla French toast makes it worth the wait!

Even if you get NOTHING else...get the toast. Trust me. One dollar. Do it.

Unique atmosphere with great baked items.

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.

Try the quiche, especially salmon and asparagus.

They hired a nice kid, so I've had less interaction with the grumpy ladies.

I recco the turtle muffin. Chocolate, caramel, and, uh, more chocolate (chips). It's a meal.
Janis BabcockFebruary 9, 2012
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.
