Vanilla Bean Restaurant

I'd heard good things about this place I've the years but never had the chance to get here for brunch until now. The reviews are right, the food is amazing! I had the Castle Danger Hash (pictured below). Everything was cooked to perfection, and the blend of all ingredients was perfectly balanced. It cools really be split between 2 people if you plan on having lunch, but it was perfectly filling for my drive back to Northfield. My compliments to the chef!

This place is incredible!! We came in after spending a day at Gooseberry Falls and Split Rock Lighthouse. Allie was a gem and let my husband know, that since he was a veteran, his meal would be free. Allow me to say, I would have gladly paid for this meal, two times over. Yes, it was THAT good! We had the walleye cakes (OMG), I had one of their famous oven baked omelettes (The Popeye) and my husband had the North Woods Classic breakfast. Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about this meal, the atmosphere and the service. Oh, and make sure to try the apple cider! Did I mention Allie was awesome?!?! Great discovery and will definitely be back whenever we come back to the Duluth area.

I had the wild rice burger with apple baked beans on the side and it was delicious. The atmosphere was friendly . I'll eat here again. It was the last stop on our North Shore journey.

Excellent food and service. Nice decor. Very clean. Very modest prices. Good number of menu options. Brunch all day is a nice feature.

Not bad but nothing overwhelmingly special. Took a little longer than average to get a quick breakfast but they were definitely busy so that's understandable. Good homemade jam to go with toast. I'm guessing homemade sausage that was underwhelming. Friendly staff and convenient location.
