We had a nice breakfast experience at People's Cafe. You could tell this is a very popular place in Cambridge as locals packed the place while we were there. Had side orders of toast, ham and cheesy hash browns with coffee which satisfied my appetite. My guest had an omelette with hash browns which she said was tasty and the portion was almost too large to eat. Service from our waitress was fantastic and kept the coffee topped off while there. A little tough finding a parking spot but eventually drove around the block and found one opened up right in front of the building. They have both on street parking along with a small private lot in the back with access to the restaurant. If you are in the Cambridge area and looking for a real homestyle breakfast or lunch I highly recommend stopping by People's Cafe.

Everything Omelet
Really tasty and great value. If you have ever been in a small town diner, this is it. My coffee was topped off a lot and the portions delightfully filling. My meal was exactly as ordered. Very efficient staff. It is like taking a walk back in time. The only thing Id change is upgrading silverware.

Always friendly staff, clean, good portions at a reasonable price. My omelet was incredible with a lovely side of American fried potatoes.
So nice to have that ' hometown feel' with a big smile from the waitresses and good food!

First time at People’s Cafe, it was amazing! The Everything Omelette, hash browns and cranberry wild rice toast were so yummy. The server was attentive and kept our coffee cups full!

Lots of food for the price. Excellent quality for the price. Sausage and bacon tastes homemade (idk if it is) but tastes like exactly what you’d get from a good butcher. Quick service despite always being packed. Not the prettiest surroundings, but feels like grandmas kitchen, and the no frills atmosphere means no yuppies to complain about.
If you want good food and friendly service at great prices even in todays economy, go here.

Best lutefisk dinner that I have ever had (sorry Grandmas Herland & Miles but you would have loved it too)…Lutefisk, boiled potatoes, rutabaga, clarified butter, white gravy, coleslaw (mayo based), Lefse, julekaga, butter, cranberry orange relish. Then went on to banana crème pie- nice real banana chunks, homemade (not package) pudding base, pressed but not full crumble crust. Beautiful texture, too cold and could have used more vanilla flavor in the fresh cream whip. Coffee was a disappointment, but could suffer it. Restaurant itself was crowded with lots of second generation or so Scandinavians enjoying the Monday lutefisk dinner special. Restaurant was a bit unkept as a result but understandable.

This place was EXCELLENT! Our server, the food, everything was top notch. My family and I were in Cambridge all day for my sons basketball tournament. We decided to grab breakfast with our two hour window between games. The eggs benidict was to die for!!! I hope the owner appreciates the servers and cooks because they are amazing. ❤️ we may have to make the hour drive to Cambridge JUST for people’s cafe.

Went for breakfast on my birthday yesterday! Food was really good! The kids enjoyed it also! Waitress was very nice and made sure we were happy! I’d definitely recommend this place to anybody!
I could eat here every day! This place is absolutely delicious! My favorite is their mexican omelet with hashbrowns! And lets not forget their giant mouth-watering cinnamon rolls! Not only is their food always amazing but their staff is extremely friendly! They make you feel at home. I couldnt recommend this place more!

We discovered the cafe that is well know by the locals as a favorite. The place was clean, people were socially distant. Morgan provided us with excellent helpful and friendly service! They had an All Up Can Eat Fish Fry on Friday. They serve breakfast all day and had good size portions of food. All three of us gave it a 5 star rating on our food choices! The rest room was clean. We will be back! The chili was homemade and very good! Located in downtown Cambridge, Minnesota. Worth the drive. Family Friendly.
