Egg-Cetera Cafe

Oh how my family and I love the Egg! It's got that cozy mom and pop vibe accompanied by and old school diner feel. The food is outstanding! If you like home style, feel good food, then this is your place. The owners are extremely nice and have been in business for over 20 years!!! They do get extremely busy on the weekends, so if you're planning on going I highly recommend calling ahead and making a reservation.

Love my family at EC! I once was given free food for my memes defending them!

It’s great diner breakfast food, yeah they have rules and policies but I have eyes and can read them so I’ve never broke them.

Price point is exceptional for what you get! And they don’t forget you! God bless and I look forward to my next mason jar or tomato juice!

We had a very tasty and filling breakfast this morning. We called ahead to make a reservation (on a non-holiday weekday morning) and were greeted cheerfully and seated immediately.

I got 2 pancakes & bacon (I requested sugar-free syrup and they had it); hubby got the Egg-cetera omelette that came with toast and hashbrowns (he couldn't even finish it all, which is unusual). We were extremely satisfied when we left. We don't eat out often (I cook alot) but we will be back.

I highly recommend this great Mom and Pop restaurant. Friendly staff, amazing food at decent prices. You won't be disappointed!! Try the pigs in a blanket!! Yum!!

Take pride in welcoming you and your family into their restaurant. The atmosphere is currently filled with seasonal Halloween decorations that take your eyes and mind on a trip that will put a smile on your face and stir some memories of Halloweens past. I’m told the Christmas decorations are quite extensive and will also be on display when the time comes. This alone has and will warm the hearts of many a customers and make the trip well worth your time.

There’s also lots of eye candy for those whom enjoy the outdoors with hunting lodge types of pictures of hunting dogs and hand carved and painted wild fowl and fish that have some blue ribbons attached to them is a must see.

I have been a repeat customer now ever since my first visit to this exceptional now favorite breakfast spot. The owners have a passion for family and seniors and I have to say it’s a local favorite with many regulars. The menu is very nice and the portions generous and the value is just right. I don’t think I saw anything on the menu over ten dollars.

I had a chance to chat with Cheryl whom is the kindest waitress that gets to know your order and moves like lightening and most times has your drink order before you even sit down. After going there a few times she has my order memorized and it’s three of four variations and always offers some conversation that makes you laugh with some interesting scuttlebutt of the time. Then I have to say the eggs that Brian cooks are some of the best over easy eggs anywhere. The signature breakfast is the Egg-Cetera Omelet, this is one you would want to try if you have a hearty appetite as it is quite filling with all the ingredients nothing to add as it’s all there.

Lastly there is a display of the town of Waconia showing all the buildings and water tower, I don’t know how many ceramic or hand crafted items they have but it’s a lot and they are lite up and one has a good time just looking at that for quite some time. After going back to it a few times I now know there is a story to almost each and every piece. People from around town have donated personal items so it has become sort of a community effort to build this display.

I really wanted to write this up for the Egg-Cetera Café and if you go there to check it out you will know why. So my secret is out…This is a great place to go, do yourself a favor and enjoy a breakfast or lunch while the decorations are on display. Enjoy!

We’ve been in here plenty of times and have always had the best experience. Down-to-earth, kind employees and food that is also great!

French Toast is amazing! Staff pleasant! 20 years plus in business, owners Brian and Cheryl are definitely doing something right!!

Best grub in the STATE! Brian-Cheryl and the crew make you feel like your home! Home cooking! Love this place ❤

This is the number 1 place to get the best breakfast of your life!!!
Anyone who loves a home town diner, owned by two of the best people on the planet will feel right at home.

Definitely the best country fried steak I've ever had. Coffee is always fresh and brewed perfectly. Grab a spot at the counter and get yourself an amazing breakfast! Service is wonderful too! Keep up the awesome work!!

A lovely old-style diner. We tried the egg-cetera omelette. Delicious! Waitresses were very friendly and helpful. The environment is very Minnesotan. We strongly recommend this cozy diner!

Breakfast was good. We were worried because we are from out of town and didn't reserve anything, but went right at opening and got in with no problems. Food was good and they brought fresh drinks when needed. They didn't check often but there was no reason for them to as we were fine so it was appreciated because we were chatting. I asked for bacon well done and my request was accommodated with no trouble. We also appreciated the option to get 1/2 an omelet as this isn't offered a lot of places. Good experience.

Wonderful small town diner! Best breakfast I’ve had in a long time!!! The staff is friendly and attentive. Very popular place so call ahead for a reservation if you want to guarantee a table.

My husband and I drive down from the cities. BEST tastes like home cooking restaurant anyplace!

This is the sweetest coziest little cafe! Great find! All decked out for Christmas when I was there....my breakfast was so good, and the honey feeling was a real comfort..

I love hometown cafes and Egg-Cetera did not disappoint. Good prices and generous portions made for a hearty breakfast. Nice big chunks of meat in the omelet. Will definitely go back again.

Quirky place with good food and great people! We love it.

Second time enjoying breakfast at this cute little out of the way place. Very good food and fun service with reasonable prices!

Small town Cafe. With food that is very good. I will be back again. Would recommend to friends and family. Note: call ahead, service is not fast but not slow. They have a very nicely designed inside for that hometown fell. Nice job to the owner.

Nice quaint little local diner with an excellent breakfast menu. Lynn had eggs Benedict while I had corned beef hash and eggs. Perfectly executed dishes both. The pancakes were especially good! Very light with a hint of vanilla. Quick service too. We will definitely eat here again!
