At Sara's Table Chester Creek Cafe

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!

This is a Guy Fieri Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives restaurant. Deservingly so. Wow, I ate an hour ago and a pile of flavors are still telling me they’re there. Very comfortable place, great food, and excellent service. It’s been along time since I’ve had food this forth coming with flavors. The pies and ice cream are delicious too. Put this restaurant on your must go to list, it’s worth it. Enjoy…

We had a slight wait of about 10 minutes without reservation on a Sunday for lunch. Reservations would be recommended during busy times. Deb was the hostess and is super nice and helpful. Kali was our server and very helpful and knowledgeable. This is a vegan, GF and regular clean food establishment. I ordered the Southwest Panzanella salad and ordered smoked salmon to go with it. It does have the skin on it. So beware. But it's "the proper way in my book" to get the salmon to come out right. It has that southwestern flare of flavors with some Italian nuances. Like the buffalo mozzarella. Wow was this tasty. Ordered a black coffee. It was perfect. For me, I'm a fan of good coffee. Not a coffee snob. Just good coffee. Cheap coffee you have to doctor it. Good coffee is great all by itself. And this is that deal. Order it black. If you have to doctor it, that's your deal. Not needed in my humble "foodie" opinion. Finished up with a French silk pie that I shared with my wife. The coffee goes with that too. The pie crust is that typical flaky style but it stands on its own. It doesn't break apart. You can actually hold it by the crust and eat it without making a huge mess. But it is hard to cut if you wanted to eat with a fork. I'm guessing it has extra egg white in it to firm it up. But I'm only guessing. If you are visiting here. You must stop by and say hello to Deb and Kali and tell them I said hi. If you're a book/reader person. They have "adoptable" books for sale under $5. They rescue them from being thrown away. I have enclosed a photo of part of their library. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy your visit like I did.

Super cute place. Wanted something different than our usual at home and glad we stopped in. Salmon omelet was so good. Husband had the cowboy hash. He loved it. My lavender latte was delicious.

The establishment was full when I arrived and I soon found out why! The food was delicious and the service was excellent. After a long day traveling, it was food for the soul. I was going back and forth between breakfast food or lunch. I don't think you can go wrong with anything here. Will try to come back if only for dessert before I head back down south. Definitely check it out if you are in the Duluth area!

Our server was super kind and definitely made the experience better, but the menu prices were a bit higher than what Google Maps says. I would say you should plan to spend $30 or more per person. Other than that, I really liked my meal. I would love to come back to try the breakfast menu, there seemed to be way more family friendly choices on that one.

Beautiful place to dine! Overlooking the lake and in a beautiful neighborhood. The turmeric golden latte was delicious. Ideal for this weather. The smoked salmon omelette was good. The salmon was a little bit bland but the pesto sauce helped with the flavor. The toast and the potatoes were great. It was a great experience overall. Beautiful place, lovely decor and good service.

Probably my favorite restaurant ever! There is nothing on the menu that is not delicious. I consistently come back for their incredible drink menu and pancakes. Pricey but worth it!

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.

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!

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).

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!

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!

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.

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 )

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

My mom and I went here for a celebratory lunch and had a difficult time choosing what to get because everything looked so good. We ended up splitting the Japanese pancake and the Cowboy Hash and both were phenomenal. The service was so friendly and the right amount of attention. We especially enjoyed talking with Deb who gave us recommendations on dessert and was able to answer our questions about the food. We will definitely go back again and look forward to trying more of the menu!

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).

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.

We stopped in on a weekday morning, didn't have a wait, and got quick service! We started with coffees - the maple latte which was good and the pistachio breve which was AMAZING (I would definitely go back for this)! For food, we got the cranberry wild rice french toast and eggs your way (2 scrambled eggs, toast w/ housemade jam, potatoes). The bread for the french toast was great - had a nice chew and flavor! The other star was the jam - very good on the bread and we decided to use it for some of the french toast, too! Overall, this is a super cool local place with quality food and we would come back again for breakfast or to try dinner/baked goods!

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!

Great atmosphere, service, and food! I had a regular breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, breakfast potatoes, and toast. It sounds "regular", but it was anything but regular. Especially enjoyed the wild rice sausage. Coffee was exceptional

Returning to this place, I had to give it five stars for one reason - the seasonal apple pecan cream puff I got for dessert. It was absolutely divine! The panzanella salad wasn't bad but I felt the radios were off - there were just so many croutons compared to everything else, and almost no mozzarella pearls. The dressing was ok. My aunt got their vegetarian BLT and absolutely loved it - I will say it looked great! Service was good too. And it's always nice to sit and enjoy some food by the bookshelves where it's quiet. I will definitely be back!

We love at Sarah's Table. Good service and delicious vegan options. I love that there's always a vegan soup option and desserts too!

I am happy that there are more vegan option restaurants in Duluth, and this one definitely provides multiple choices. But the taste and flavor of the vegan food was just OK and for the price should be better. One critique, though the vegan nachos were supposed to have soyrizo on them but instead the chef took liberty and just sliced up small chunks of tofu and sprinkled Tajin seasoning on them. It's not the same thing. Do better.
