Stopped for lunch today after spending time in Ely for a few days. I simply can’t say enough about the charming atmosphere, the exceptional service and the phenomenal food. Our group had the club sandwich, the quesadilla, the ham and Swiss, the French dip and the beet salad. Everyone loved what they had. Pictured is the club sandwich - the heirloom tomato and the aioli were the “cherries on top” of this yummy creation. What a gem for this community.

We are thrilled that this iconic cafe has reopened with a lovely family running it. Our family has been enjoying breakfast and lunch there for over thirty years. Delicious food served with a smile.

Everyone is so welcoming, the food is FANTASTIC and the atmosphere is so cozy. You can’t go wrong for the price. BTW they take credit cards, we had breakfast today and paid with a credit card.

Came in for breakfast and had an amazing experience. Service was as friendly and attentive as can be, and we were offered the newest Timberjay edition to read while we waited for our order. I am not a sweets person, but wow was the French toast special- stuffed with cream cheese, bacon and baked apples- with a salted caramel drizzle- so tasty! My husband had the Sasquatch Breakfast Burrito and loved it. Despite being stuffed, we had to try the raspberry bread pudding which more or less meant we were done eating for the rest of the day! Can’t wait to go back and try the biscuits and gravy and the cinnamon roll. Tower Cafe, bravo!

We have quickly become regulars! Make sure to stop by whether you’re passing through on the way to Ely or want to grab a local bite!! Family owned, awesome service, great food, and a really great addition to the community in Tower. This morning I had the North Star Blueberry Stuffed French Toast (see pic)

Showed up on accident for a breakfast buffet. Food was good and very fresh. Staff would bring you new and fresh food to your table. Staff was super nice and welcoming. Would definitely come back.

Went in for the first time and had the stuffed French toast. It was so good. But the service was phenomenal. The family who owns it is very lovely. Can’t recommend enough!
