Gordy's Warming House — Restaurant in Cloquet

EDIT: from one year ago... The food no longer looks like this :( we bought a breakfast burrito which was still ice cold in the center and the breakfast sandwich was flat, spongey and totally flavorless.

Both tasted like they could have came from a gas station (at least Kwik Trip would have been hot) - I do not like leaving poor reviews for local businesses but our early morning commute left nothing to be desired and only disappointed and still hungry. I truly hope the owners see this - the staff were very friendly with great customer service which was the only pleasant part of this experience

I was so happy a year ago - what happened to the food quality!?

Driving through around 7am and decided to stop here for a quick breakfast sandwich, cold press and a muffin. Inviting early morning atmosphere, super tasty...

Stopped in for Chili, by-the-way, is always a good choice; however, the breadsticks that come with it are hard as a rock and are definitely inedible. I sometimes will not even order them, but will occasionally give them another chance and they are always like bricks. I feel like a step is being missed when preparing them or they are just old.

A small, intimate, personal coffee shop that serves up great deserts.

The warming house was born as an extension of the Gordy's Hi-Hat restaurant - a mainstay for locals looking for great burgers. While great burgers and fries/onion rings seem to be a great food for the summer, the Hi-Hat also served some killer shakes. The problem: I always wanted one year round!

Lucky for those that live in the area - Gordy's decided to open the Warming House and create a fantastic little coffee shop stocking delicious deserts, fresh made ice cream, piping hot coffee, and the best shakes around.

Couple that with the free wi-fi and you could set me down there all day. This addition to Cloquet is definitely welcome, and offers a perfect place to kick back, relax, and smell...
