Historic Northside Cafe

Absolutely wonderful place for lunch or dinner. Last time we were there, my wife had the grilled cheese for the first time. Hard to see her moving off that on the toasted homemade bread! The best she’s ever had.

First time here and out whole group loved it. Walked into the historic shop and was immediately greeted by a friendly waitress who helped me right away. We got our order to go, and it was ready exactly when they said it would be. Some of the best fried pickles I’ve had - spears, but in thin slices and so delicious. Highly recommend the adult grilled cheese. All the food was good - the bread tasted very fresh, like it was made that day- and every person in our group wants to visit again soon!

Excellent place on the historic town square of Winterset. The food, staff, and atmosphere are excellent! My mother, who is from Macksburg, came here when she was a little girl, I love it! In fact, I'll be driving down there from Des Moines today for lunch!

Wonderful place...it is a must visit!

Love this little cafe. A bit like a step back in time. Perfect place for lunch on a visit to Winterset shops and covered bridges, I love taking out-of-town guests there. Food is great. It’s just a really sweet place.
