We had a fun group of fishermen from Iowa stop in for breakfast before heading out to the lake! 🎣

Whether you’re on your way to the lake or heading home after a great day on the water, make Nelson’s Cafe part of your adventure. We’d love to fuel you up with a hearty breakfast or welcome you back for a delicious meal.

Safe fishing, and thanks for stopping by! ☕🍳

What a week! ❤️

After an incredibly busy Fair Week, our amazing team is ready for a well-deserved break. Thank you to everyone who stopped in, waited patiently, and supported Nelson’s Cafe during a very busy (and short-staffed) week. We truly appreciate each and every one of you!

Nelson’s Cafe will be CLOSED Saturday and Sunday so our hardworking staff can rest and recharge.

We’ll be back and ready to serve all your favorite breakfasts and lunches on Monday. Have a wonderful weekend, and thank you again for your continued support! ☕🥞🍔

🎉❤️ Can you believe it’s been 4 years?! ❤️🎉

On Thursday, July 16, we’re celebrating 4 years of owning Nelson’s Cafe, and we couldn’t let the day go by without saying THANK YOU.

Four years ago, we took a leap of faith, stocked the coffee pots, fired up the grill, and hoped for the best. Since then, we’ve shared thousands of cups of coffee, countless laughs, early mornings, busy lunch rushes, and more slices of pie than we could ever count. We’ve also learned that coffee really does solve most problems… and that there’s always someone who wants breakfast at lunchtime (good thing we serve breakfast all day! 😉).

None of this would have been possible without YOU—our amazing customers, friends, neighbors, and community. Thank you for supporting our small business, cheering us on, and making Nelson’s Cafe feel like so much more than a restaurant. You’ve made it a place where friendships grow, stories are shared, and everyone is welcome.

To celebrate, stop in Thursday, July 16, and enjoy a free piece of cake while supplies last! 🍰

🎁 Every customer who stops in will also be entered into a drawing for a $25 Nelson’s Cafe Gift Card!

Here’s to four incredible years, and hopefully many more filled with good food, hot coffee, and plenty of laughter.

From our family to yours… thank you for being part of our story. ❤️ We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
