“Walk away happy with a selection of creatively prepared salads, made-to-order sandwiches, a few soups and a case of delicious desserts…”
Rick Nelson
Star Tribune (Minneapolis, Minnesota)


 


 

A common question we would hear several times a day, “Now that we are done shopping, where can we go for lunch?” We took our customers’ comments, added our own ideas and designed the ideal lunch spot right inside the General Store of Minnetonka. In November of 2000, the General Store Café served its very first customers.

The General Store Café’s menu changes daily to allow us creativity in what we serve and to take advantage of the season’s best flavors!


Everyday you will see a selection of 6 homemade salads, including our General Store Chicken Salad (white meat of chicken, red grapes, celery and mandarin oranges dressed in a ginger, mayonnaise dressing). This salad is so popular that it is put on the menu every single day! You will also see 3-4 delicious soups to choose from.

 

Whether you choose soup or salad, enjoy your choice with an old-fashioned popover straight from the oven! If you’re in the mood for a deli sandwich, we will make you a sandwich with locally baked bread, the best quality of meats and your choice of veggies and cheese.

 
Finish off the perfect lunch, with a dessert made from scratch! Enjoy one of our famous chocolate chip cookies or indulge in our homemade bread pudding topped with caramel sauce and whipped cream.

 

 

 

 

The General Store Café is owned and operated by the owners of the General Store of Minnetonka.

 

When you visit the General Store Café you’re likely to see the owner mixing up salads in the kitchen, inquiring about how your lunch tastes or even bussing tables on a busy day! The General Store Café bears the same quality and service you will find in its big sister, the General Store of Minnetonka!

A family recipe, Grandma Gloria has graciously given us her beloved Pumpkin Bar recipe.  Something she makes for almost every family gathering!
