One of the best place for a brunch in Houghton - Hancock area. We ordered the farmers omlet and chocklate chip pancake. The omlet comes with hashbrown and cheese and two custom add on with a side of a choice of toast. The omlet was delicious. Toasts were perfect combination of crisp and softness. Choclate chip pancake a good mixture of two tastes, chocolate did not overpower the taste of pancakes.
With so many great, locally owned eateries available in the Keweenaw, it’s almost impossible to find a bad one. Unfortunately, Kaleva Cafe was a bad example… From the moment we stepped in, I had a bad feeling. Sign posted up front directed you to wait to be seated. We sat for roughly 20 minutes before even being acknowledged. I don’t mind waiting for good food but being ignored is annoying. The person who sat us was rude and she felt like she didn’t want to be working. Next up….more waiting. Each time, between ordering first drinks, being able to place our food order, waiting for food and eventually, being able to get our check were all lengthy. When our server brought our food out, she ghosted us and never came back...I had to walk up the register to get my receipt. The beef pasty I ordered was also not enjoyable. It was mostly veggies with some tiny pieces of meat sprinkled in. Served cold in the center. Sorry, I won’t be back and if you’re on the fence about this place, you may want to consider a different option in the area.
Good for breakfast. Their coffee was kind of not hot like I want. Pannukakku is good but the base is kind of hard. Softer would be great.
