At Sara's Table Chester Creek Cafe

Probably my favorite breakfast in Duluth. Very fun options with all locally sourced ingredients. It's always pretty busy, but they keep things moving really well. The biscuit and berries is incredible. If you like a biscuit please get it. The Benedict with the wild rice sausage patties is one of the best breakfasts you can have. Service is always really good and quick. Come here if you have the chance!

Visiting Duluth, eat like a local here. It’s locally owned, an eclectic atmosphere with outstanding service and food. The homemade cherry Danish was flaky and buttery. Two of us shared the Cowboy Hash. It was flavorful with tender chunks of brisket with a delightful Harissa sauce. So good! You will love it here.

Amazing atmosphere, great food, great service, reasonable prices! What more can you ask! We went there for breakfast on a Saturday morning and there was like a 5 min wait for the patio (we had a dog with us). The service was awesome! And the food was just as good! I got the pancake and my wife got the eggs florantine( I think) and it was just what we were looking for!

Cowboy hash was delicious. The brisket in it was awesome, I only wish the eggs were less hard. The bread and jam really were a surprising treat too. We did have to wait about 20 minutes but you can order a coffee while you wait or sit at the bar or outside. I love the ambience - the bookshelves and big cozy booths especially. The Bloody Mary came with a good bent paddle chaser although there was no cheese/meat on the skewer (you could pay a whopping three extra dollars for a single slice of bacon added). The prices were the real downside here. At least on the breakfast front it seemed like a comparable restaurant would charge a few bucks less for a similar dish.

The French toast was so good! The atmosphere was so cute on the cafe side! Light and airy and very cutesy. We were sat on the bar side and it was also cute just kind of a darker aesthetic! Our server was very nice and you could tell she loved her job! She was very insightful about menu items and helped some of my friends decide what to order!

Delicious Just Egg vegan omelet! Stuffed with tons of tender, well-seasoned, sautéed veggies and vegan cheese (opt), the filling stayed piping hot until my last bite. Served with a slice of wild rice bread, jelly, and breakfast potatoes. A little pricey but worth every penny. Packed on a Wednesday morning, but service was excellent as always. Staff runs like a well-oiled machine and makes it seem effortless.

What a true farm to table restaurant with a unique and cozy atmosphere. The menu offers plenty of variety and options as well as drinks. I tried their curry which was my favorite, my boyfriend tried Korean barbecue chicken sandwich with their truffle fries. For our dessert we had their peanut butter mocha which was delicious.

Cozy space with a view from the patio down to the lake. Came for a late weekday lunch with hopes of enjoying breakfast and coffee. Enjoyed the Cowboy Hash with a Honey Bee Latte. Finished off with a brown butter chocolate chip cookie. Felt like elevated comfort food - lovely, relaxed meal on a quiet patio. Kelly was attentive and engaged as a server. Inside, I loved the wrap around bookshelves offering used books, what a fun idea for the space. Would definitely return for breakfast or lunch!

Very busy, but excellent food and a really great place to enjoy eating it! I can see why it's a popular brunch spot.

I went with a small group and had high hopes because they said it was good. Things started out well with the service and the first drink I had, the Gulf of Mexico, was very tasty. Overall, it was a good ambience with the used books for sale on the wall and casual vibe. Appetizers were good, but really went downhill with the meal. I along with several others, ordered the polenta. It came out dry and overcooked like it had sat under the heat lamp for too long. It wasn't just mine, others had the same experience. Since it was one of their signature dishes, I expected a lot more in the quality of the preparation. Had it not been overcooked and dried out, it would've probably been pretty good. I ordered a second Gulf of Mexico, and it came in the wrong kind of glass, did not taste nearly as good as the first one. It actually tasted a bit mediciney as they had gotten the measurements completely wrong. The server was polite and did a nice job with our group. While I may give it a second try if someone suggested it, I probably would not pick it as a place to go back to.

Outstanding breakfast every time we visit :) It's the perfect spot - staff are always kind, food is absolutely delicious, and it feels like you're in the comfort of your own home. I can't say enough about this place. It's a must try if you're in Duluth area!

Delicious food, genuine service, and comfortable atmosphere. We were there for lunch on a Saturday, about a 25 minute wait, but it went fast. Lots of seating, they were very busy. Can be a bit pricey, but the quality of the ingredients is high. Try them out! We had the Brisket Hash and GBLT.

We loved Sarah's table! The atmosphere is cozy and eclectic, and you can wait by their giant wood burning stove for your table. There is a parking lot on the side, so parking was easy. We had delicious giant breakfasts- everything from your typical sweeter fare to omelets to unique savory dishes. I had the Okonomiyaki off of the all day menu because I wanted something on the healthier side, and it was absolutely delicious. Our server told us that they tried to take it off the menu at one point, and there was basically a revolt, so they had to put it back. I see why. Our croissant was also a hit, and we loved the special Maple Brown Sugar Latte. It can get busy, especially for brunch on the weekends, so I suggest making a reservation if you can. They have an online wait list, so you can "get on line" before you even arrive to cut down your wait time if you are a walk-in. This is probably our favorite brunch spot in Duluth.

This place was so delicious!!! Oh my god like do I move to Duluth so I can come here every weekend (or day)??? The food is delicious, and from what I understood, majority of it was also organic or locally sourced!! The inside feels like a cozy cabin. And the staff were all so so so friendly and amazing. Truly couldn't have had a better experience. Oh their drip coffee is also lovely (and bottomless duh).

Absolutely love the food here. We browsed the bakery case as we waited for a table. Every pastry and bread looked so good. I had to step away from the case. Haha I enjoy a hot chocolate that came with lots of whip and my hubby had a real cappuccino. Attentive waitress and relaxed atmosphere made for the a great breakfast. The corned beef hash was so hearty and so much flavor in my mouth. The Biscuit in a chorizo gravy was different but so creamy delicious with a spicy kick. The homemade biscuits was soft and soaked up all the sauce. Too full for dessert. When we walked out we watched employees go to their garden with baskets and they picked all kids of fresh herbs & veggies I assume. So cool.

Fantastic food in Duluth with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options! We ordered the tofu curry, quesabirria, and yam fries. The curry has been a staple on their menu for 20+ years according to our server. The best IMHO were the yam fries and their ranch is deeeelicious--tasted homemade! They also have a bakery counter with lots of GF and Vegan options. We got the blueberry & orange crumble tart and an affogato to-go. The affogato was perfect. Service was friendly and fast. We were even seated in the "bar area" which was just a quaint little add on to the main restaurant area. They're open late too!

This is my all-time favorite neighborhood restaurant. I love to stop by there for coffee in the morning and especially love to go there for dinner dinners and brunches. Lots of locals eat here as well as tourists. Make sure you get there with at least an hour to wait if you're going on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

We were passing through Duluth and needed to get something for dinner. When we asked about Sarah's Table at the front desk of our hotel the response from a distant voice that overheard us was an enthusiastic "Oh hell yes! That place is fantastic"! And it was! It was a warm, almost tropical summer night in Duluth (kind of a rare thing) so we sat out on the deck. Good choice. It was getting late and we didn't need a lot of food so my wife and I both ordered dinner salads and split the Okonomiyaki described on the menu as a "savory Japanese pancake". To me it was more like fancy hash browns. However you want to describe them they were delish. The dinner salads were fresh, generously portioned and gorgeous with the water melon radishes. All in all, a great meal at a great restaurant. Can't wait to stop again next time we're in the area.

At Sara's Table has been my absolute favorite spot in Duluth for years. As a proud UMD alum, I spent countless mornings here during college, making it a place that holds a special spot in my heart. Now, even though I only visit Duluth a couple of times a year with family or friends, one thing remains constant--At Sara's Table is a must for breakfast. While their lunch and dinner offerings are fantastic, there's just something extra special about breakfast here. The cozy, eclectic vibe makes it the perfect place to start the day, and no matter what you order, you truly can't go wrong. I typically lean toward sweet breakfasts, but on my most recent visit, I opted for the breakfast burrito--and let's just say, it did not disappoint. No matter what I get though, I always have to get their wild rice cranberry toast with jam. That jam is next-level! I wish they sold it to go. I did get their granola to go. :) Beyond the incredible food, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly inviting. The staff is always friendly, making each visit feel worth it! I know I'll be back many, many, many more times!

We visit Sara's Table every time we visit Duluth. My husband gets the same thing every time, the chorizo biscuits and gravy. I on the other hand am more adventurous and have ordered anything from the smoked salmon platter to the French toast with stout syrup to the eggs Benedict. I'm convinced they can't make a bad meal which is what keeps us coming back. They have a great outdoor patio with plenty of seating with a view of Lake Superior. The inside is a classic, cozy diner, with vegan and gluten free options.

This was a nice place for a brunch. They had a nice and accommodating menu (dairy free, vegan, etc friendly). The food was rather good and the ambiance was nice. I'd definitely stop back on another road trip. FOOD: I got a vegetable omelet and side salad with an iced tea. All of which were well prepared. The part that was impressive to me was accommodating dairy and gluten allergies in our party. They had pastries for both allergies and that's awesome! SERVICE: perfectly sufficient and friendly PARKING: easy in their lot AMBIANCE: we sat outside and it was comfortable. Not much to note. I believe it was a booth type seating arrangement. Overall I'd recommend stopping here for a meal or for pastries as you head to or from your destination, or if you life in Duluth. (Sorry no pictures on this one )

The bgmt was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Food came out quickly and the server was very friendly. I did request a runny egg that was slightly overcooked but other than that it was excellent. Will be going back

Every time we visit Duluth, we visit At Sara's Table; and it never disappoints. Great service, nice ambiance, great porch - and then there's the food! Just had the Korean fried chicken sandwich, and it was excellent. Cooked to perfection, with a yummy tangy kimchi sauce. Wish I could return tomorrow...

What a lovely, cozy little place to have breakfast. My boyfriend and I were having a romantic winter weekend up in Duluth and this was just the spot to have breakfast before we headed home. The staff were friendly and made great suggestions! I ordered the Florentine Benedict and my boyfriend got the meat omelet. Everything was delicious, even down to their house coffee. We also ordered a blueberry pancake to share. We were even able to try their famous beer syrup on it which was very unique. My only gripe was that they didn't offer pancakes 'a la carte' you had to pay $11 for the entree size. I ended up taking some food home for sure. Loved the breakfast here!!! We will be back next time we're in Duluth!

I had been here once years ago and remembered how much I loved it, and once again I was blown away. The food is absolutely impeccable and innovative. I absolutely recommend this to everyone. You also have a view of Lake Superior which was fun to see because the first time I went it was dark in the evening. The atmosphere is cozy, and their in house baked pie was fabulous to take home. The server was very friendly and attentive. Will be back many times when I come through Duluth!

We had a 30 min wait at 10:30a on a Friday morning, but food was worth it! Egg's Benedict is a must have!! Cozy ambiance with very friendly staff. Will go again.

Great service, lovely venue, and the food, while a bit pricy, was large portions. Would definitely come back. This might be our new brunch hot spot!

This is my favorite place to eat when I'm up in Duluth. It can get really busy at peak lunch and dinner hours so expect to wait to get in and to wait to get your food. I love the vibe and atmosphere here. The staff are also very nice. The owners values of sustainability, justice, and love really shine through. I love their brunch menu and the farm to table concept is really appealing to me. If you like spicy food, I would recommend the Korean Fried Chicken sandwich. For brunch, I like their benedicts. This restaurant is vegetarian friendly. They also have a kids menu. Great spot for families and groups.

After lunch decided to come here for dessert. Did not disappoint!!!! Had a seasonal berry pie and it was amazing! Got these other pastries for breakfast tomorrow. Absolutely will come back. Staff is also great! Helpful and polite! If in Duluth and want a good dessert, this is the place!

After reading so many stellar reviews, we headed over here after our half marathon. The atmosphere is welcoming and eclectic. We both ordered warm drinks to take the chill off - hubby a chai latte and me a turmeric golden milk. They hit the spot; in fact hubby liked his so much, he ordered a second one. We had looked at the menu online but apparently the seasonal menu recently changed so I wasn't able to order what I had hoped to. I did have the portabello wrap but although it may sound strange, I subbed piquillo peppers for the portabellos since I don't like mushrooms! The rest of the warm wrap had tempeh, house made Boursin cheese, tomatoes, and olive tapenade (although I really couldn't taste the tapenade). It was warm and delicious. Choice of sides include chips, house made tortilla chips, or carrots; I chose the tortilla chips and they were good. Hubby had the brisket au jus and a side of tomato bisque. It looked small but there was a generous portion of brisket. He enjoyed both. Our table was in view of the desserts and since we had run a half marathon, I figured I earned a treat and chose the blueberry crumble pie. Had I known it was $13, I might have given it a second thought (but it was a generous sized mini pie). Tip: ask to have it warmed up! It was initially served ice cold and even after I asked to have it warmed, it was still cold in spots. This is why I gave the review 4 stars instead of 5 but otherwise we had a very satisfying meal.

I was so looking forward to this place, unfortunately the dinner did not meet the beautiful homely vibe it has. We ordered the Pallela; they were out of shrimp but recommended that we take extra scallops instead. Fine by me; however there were only 4 small baby scallops (the dish was supposed to have scallops already). The taste was very mediocre. Mom ordered the Brisket AU JUS and in her words "It was bland". My wife got the KFC which was the star of the night. The chicken was flavorful and the salad in the sandwich was spectacular. I would like to try it for breakfast but would skip dinner here

The food was really good, service was spectacular! Lots of options for any food allergies and their gluten free bread is to die for. Our server James was so nice and welcoming!

It's a cute little place. Not very busy in the evening. We had the Korean chicken sandwich and street tacos. The fries were good paired with their house made ranch. The atmosphere is a little cramped, and the service is lacking at times, but I understand that their job is hard and that some days are just rougher than others.

Amazing spot for a quick lunch, we had the avocado BLT, blueberry pancakes, breakfast potatoes, Korean fried chicken and the broccoli cheddar soup. Service was quick and the waiter was very helpful in deciding what to order. We will definitely be coming back again!

Had the tempeh BBQ grilled cheese with yam waffle fries and the French toast. Both phenomenal dishes. Also enjoyed a soy latte and my husband had the mimosa and Minnesota mimosa (made with apple cider). The restaurant had plenty of seating and cute decor. And our server was pleasant and attentive. Will definitely visit again!

Love everything about this place. Great atmosphere and people with an interesting and varied menu. Creative and tasty dishes twitch something for everyone. Recommend reservations but they also have an online waiting list

My aunt brought me here Amazing pancakes I was a wee little lad so it was fun Service was Great from what i remember Ambience was ok Valid spot

Good vegan options. Wine list is adequate. Nice seating outside with peak of Lake Superior.

Service was good, food portions seemed small for the cost (usually I get two meals out of one anywhere I go out to eat, I devoured it all here and wasn't stuffed) but I understand it is sourced locally so there has to be an up charge. Food is delicious though and their peanut butter latte was rich and delicious. Come here occasionally because of the higher prices but for a once in awhile treat, definitely come here!

Beautiful, tasty, lovely presented food. Pleasing proportions and patio dining for pooches.

We went to Sara's Table for brunch and then again for dinner during our visit to Duluth, and enjoyed both experiences. The food was fresh and had a great mix of flavors, and the prices were very reasonable. The service was fast and responsive even when they were busy ... so everything you'd want in a restaurant! We highly recommend to anyone traveling to the area, and really enjoyed the salmon omelet and brisket hash, as well as the short-rib dinner.

Please don't poison the food, and deceiving the custom is terrible! Beware of the service here!!

Nice spot close to UMD campus. The online waitlist doesn't work on weekends so maybe worth putting yourself in and then go somewhere if busy. One can have coffee drinks or drinks while waiting. We had 30-40 min wait but it was also parents weekend for UMN. Food was good - in our group we had a sandwich, biscuits and gravy and omelette. All good.

I go here many times per year from out of state as a second home base. I enjoy, of course, the quality of food first. But also the whimsy and the poetry in the menu and even the coffee mugs. Thank you for a wonderful and consistent dining experience while I am in Duluth!

A very casual but styly cozy restaurant. On top of the hill where one can enjoy from nice breakfasts to lunches to dinner. Wonderful coffees. I mean Cappuccinos and everything in between. Omelettes are delicious as well as any other dishes prepared at your taste. Nice people hosting you. Felt at home.

This cozy place is a must try in Duluth. The breakfast and lunch menu are both so good! They have allergy friendly options as well. And you must walk away with an item from their bakery!

My friends and I stopped there after a wedding weekend and it did not disappoint. I am gluten free and ordered the Florentine Eggs Benedict. It was the best Benedict I've ever had. I am a sucker for "Miel" lattes and they had one of their own. Honey and coffee are the perfect pair. On the way out, I passed by the bakery counter and they had gf muffins, pies and cookies!!! I got the ginger giant cookie and the chocolate chip zucchini muffin. Both of them exceeded my expectations. The patio was a nice spot on a beautiful morning and I will the service was quick as well. Thanks for a great brunch and thinking about those with allergies! I will definitely be back!

What a wonderful find. We ate here for breakfast and it was savory and delicious. I had the cowboy hash and it was a carefully constructed dish with brisket, potatoes, pickled red onions, jalapeños (not too much) and aioli,, topped with two lovely eggs. My husband had the wild rice sausage benidict, which was also top notch. I wish we had been able to go back for lunch or dinner. Try it. You won't regret it. Food A+. Service A+. Ambiance A.

From the ambiance to the food to the service! Outstanding as usual. If in Duluth, you should make this a spot to stop at! Enjoy!

The food here is amazing and it is such a cute little spot. The people here are truly kind and you can feel that the minute you walk in! We've been back a few times already and pro tip, if you go here please do yourself a favor and get the sausage and chorizo gravy. It is a curry based gravy that is out of this world! We licked the plate clean!

Our house is located two blocks from this restaurant, and we absolutely love being able to walk over to grab a bite to eat or sip on a cocktail. The food here is incredible, always fresh, amazing flavor, great quality overall. The building itself is super cute and nice and cozy when sitting inside, especially if you're in one of the booths in the back. The bar side is a great place to stop in if you're looking for a good cocktail without having to deal with the college kids. Super friendly people, always a great experience. Couple of tips - weekends are crazy busy, especially Saturday and Sunday breakfast/brunch. There are tons of options for every lifestyle - vegetarian, vegan, carnivore, herbivore, pretty much everyone will have a few options to choose from. I personally love their vegetarian meals. Finally - stay for dessert! Or, better yet, come in on the off hours for a coffee and slice of cake.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Sara's Table yet! This is our GO TO spot for breakfast in Duluth. In fact, it's so solidly good we can't bring ourselves to go anywhere else. Try it once, and I guarantee you'll be here again (and again, and again). Fresh, incredible ingredients, excellent coffee, fantastic staff, I could go on and on.

Food, service, ambiance is excellent. I drove 2100 miles for the biscuits and gravy. Enough said.

Our third trip back (on our third trip through Duluth and 2 months), and it does not disappoint! We love everything from the quirky decor to the excellent service, to the amazing farm-fresh, local, and delightfully prepared dishes. My personal favorite is the Biscuits & Chorizo Gravy... it's a dish I've never seen anywhere else, and when I first tried it, I was worried that the chorizo would be overpowering. I was wrong. It's the right combination of spice and herbaciousness... with fresh and flavorful tomatoes and delicious and perfectly baked biscuits. Served with their amazing coffee, it's the only thing I've ordered (my friends are more adventurous and have liked everything they've tried).

We were very disappointed in the entire experience. My husband got the primavera, very bland. No seasoning at all. I got the soup du jour, which was split pea and ham. I've had better for sure, but this also, just bland. My daughter got a kids meal, which was sufficient. The best part of my meal was the homemade ranch dressing with my salad. The service we received was sub par. We were seated & the hostess brought us water for the table. After looking over the menu for a few minutes, we realized our server still had not been to the table. I counted 3 servers at the drink station, but apparently none of them were ours. The hostess passed by again and said our server would be right with us. By this time, we are ready to order, and we still waited another 5-7 minutes for our server. After finally ordering, our server never brought out the coffee we ordered beforehand. Our food showed up, brought by the kitchen staff. The server came by after we were halfway finished to see how it was. Then, our server brought the coffee. They did apologize for forgetting, so I appreciated it. We chose this restaurant because of the location and its reviews. For what we paid, it was absolutely not worth it. We will not go back.

I'm always excited to enjoy brunch at Sara's whenever I'm visiting Duluth. I was happy to see their strong adherence to Covid protocols as not all Duluth establishments seem to be as committed to distancing and mask wearing. My boyfriend and I were there for Valentine's brunch. We had a Bloody Mary which was lovely and very fresh tasting and the pecan coffee which is perfectly toasted. They had a few specials but my heart was set on the Biscuits and Gravy as soon as I saw it. It was exactly what I look for - most Biscuit drowned in slightly spicy Sausage gravy with some fresh tomatoes and green onions. I had a basted egg on top and I finished the entire dish. My boyfriend has the BLT topped with a fried egg - the aioli in it is finger licking good! We were so full we didn't indulge in any dessert but it their sweets case looked impeccable as always. Staff was expedient, polite and clean!

The first thing to see when you walk into Sarah's Table are the BLM signs. The revolutionary concept drips into the servers' fashion with a Rosie The Riveter touch across the board. The food doesn't disappoint. The breakfast burrito packs a punch with a freshness that's hard to find in the Midwest. Each bite mixes carbs and veggies making the breakfast burrito at Sarah's Table in Duluth, MN on of the best I've tried in the Midwest. If you're bringing your kids, one breakfast burrito is more than enough for two. One thing I would suggest is matching the breakfast burrito with home made pico de gallo. That would set Sarah's apart as it's almost impossible to find good pico de gallo in the Midwest towns I've been to.
