The Chocolate Moose

I recently stopped here for breakfast, and I’m so glad I did! I’m bummed I wasn’t able to grab lunch and dinner. My breakfast sandwich was delicious! I loved both the bacon and the sausage. This sandwich definitely filled me up for a long, active day. Service was great, we were seated right away outdoors. I highly recommend stopping at this gem in Ely!

Outstanding! I was looking at pictures from a summer trip to my cousins cabin in Ely and realized I had not given a shout out for the Moose. It is time for me to makes amends.

The Chocolate Moose was the first place we went for breakfast during our stay in Ely. We were a party of 7 and choose to sit outside on the patio. If you have good weather, I always say, take advantage of it and dine outside.

Katherine was our server and she was fabulous. She not only provided us with good service, but she was witty and gave good banter. I personally was in rare form that morning and she matched me wit for wit. It made for a fun breakfast.

I was raised on a farm, so I love Biscuits and Gravy. When I saw that they made their biscuits in house and the gravy was a buttermilk recipe, I knew what I having for breakfast. The B&G came with two sausage patties and I knew it was going to be a busy day, so I added a side of two eggs scrambled to make it a hearty breakfast. OMG, the biscuits were fluffy and flakey and the buttermilk gravy was full of flavor and chunks of sausage. Loved it.

My cousin sitting next to me enjoyed the, Bacon Benedict. It was an English Muffin topped with bacon and poached eggs and covered in "bacon fat' hollandaise. Now that is a "hollandaise" sauce worth treating yourself in the morning. It came with a side of, home fries. I sampled the sauce and it made me smile.

Three of wanted mimosas and Katherine recommend the, Mimosa Bottle Special instead of single mimosas. When we followed her advice, she was kind enough and split the cost in thirds. Another reason we loved her. The bottle special is a carafe of orange juice and a full bottle of bubbles (champagne). Now that is how you should start a vacation breakfast.

Let me close, sharing a note from the bottom of their menu -
A 6% service fee is added to your bill to support a living wage for our back of house employees. Pursuant to Minnesota Statute Section 177.23 subdivision 9, it is not a substitute for tip or gratuity.

The new Supper Club for 2022 is incredible! For the first day running the German food section, everything was very well prepared and some of the best German I've had (after growing up w/ German food my whole life!). Staff was very welcoming and friendly, and we had some fun banter teaching them some pronunciations of the German foods after we were practicing ourselves. Absolutely worth stopping by!

Delightful and truly quality for good prices. Was in Ely for a week and between my husband and I we went here like 8 times.

He is a huge fan of the breakfast. I am vegetarian/pescatarian and appreciate how easily they were able to accommodate. I think their Friday-Sunday dinner specials are actually their best kept secret! Nice beer and wine selection was super appreciated for lunch and dinner. The to-go pastries and coffee are perfect if you don’t have time for a sit down breakfast. Front and back patio if you want to eat outside.

My breakfast burrito was delicious and my wife had the eggs Benedict. We can tell it was all homemade. We did our ordering with our phones just clicking on a QR code. Not including tips with a couple cups of coffee it was about $32. Historic restaurant name that they brought back. I would recommend it.
