Wooden Spoon — Restaurant in Mankato

We could not have been happier with The Wooden Spoon and their incredible team for our wedding! From start to finish, they were an absolute dream to work with professional, kind, and so attentive to every detail.

When our original caterer fell through a week before our big day, Nicole stepped in without hesitation and completely saved the day. She was calm, reassuring, and genuinely cared about making everything perfect for us. Within hours, she had a new plan in place and guided us through the entire process with grace and confidence.

The food was outstanding, our guests are still raving about it! Everything was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with love. The Wooden Spoon created a menu that reflected our tastes perfectly and handled every detail seamlessly on the day of the wedding.

The staff was just as amazing warm, organized, and made sure everything ran smoothly so we could simply enjoy the moment.

If you’re looking for a catering team that combines incredible food with genuine care, The Wooden Spoon is the one. Nicole and her team helped turn what could have been a stressful situation into one of the best parts of our wedding. We’re forever grateful and will recommend them to...

I had my daughter’s bridal shower in the Creamery room. It was the PERFECT venue! The room could accommodate up to 49 people but we only had 24 which was just the right size. There was plenty of space for our mimosa bar, a gift table and a table for our games, party favors and pictures and there was plenty of seating for everyone. We had a brunch and had the food catered through Wooden Spoon and was delicious. We had egg, cheese and bacon pastries, cheesy hashbrowns, fruit and of course delicious cupcakes. They were even able to accommodate a special diet. Nicole was amazing to work with and was patient with all my questions and even some last minute changes. The cost was VERY reasonable! Nicole’s sister/co-owner (I’m sorry I forgot her name) was very helpful the day of the shower and made sure that we had everything we needed. They also had a back entrance which had a ramp which was so nice for a couple elderly guests we had. I was so stressed when trying to find a venue for the shower and a friend who had recently gotten married made the suggestion to look into the Wooden Spoon. I’m so happy she did! I highly suggest The Wooden Spoon/Creamery Room for any type of get together...

I'll start by saying. The worker here was very kind and helpful. We went in and saw a beautiful array of baked goods. Whoopi pies, cheesecakes, breads of all kinds. I saw a red velvet cake Whoopi pie that looked amazing so we bought that along with cheesecake slices and a couple prepackaged items. We don't live in town so we drove our treats home and tried them that evening. Some of them. The cheesecake to be specific, it was dense and flavor wise not at all what I expected. It just wasn't good. The cheesecake had icing on it which was different. We bought 2 different slices, neither were good. The Whoopi pie which I tried to try the next day was rock hard and not what a Whoopi pie should be. I didn't eat it as it wasn't edible. Really disappointing and upset at the money I spent. The other two items, cinnamon pull apart and English muffin toast were good and we ate those with no issue. I would not recommend going here...
