The Bleu Dog Cafe — Restaurant in Welch Township

For years, our family has been coming from Minneapolis down to Bleu Dog. We have a family friend who lives in Welch and have been familiar with the area for years. For birthdays and special occasions, we always make a trip down for their amazing breakfast/ brunch. The food is absolutely spectacular and delicious, fresh and full of flavor. They use fresh ingredients from l9cal farmers in the area, and always have an interesting and delicious dish for their Market Special! Yummy coffee that you want to just keep drinking and savoring with every sip. The staff are like family, and treat you as if you were theirs. Always friendly and fun. The atmosphere is cute, cozy and quaint and occupies an old 19th century bank, in which the bathroom is located inside the old brick vault! They do get busy, so it's great you can now make reservations on Open Table. We hope Bleu Dog never goes out of business. Definitely worth the trip to Welch Village for this wonderful...

We hired The Bleu Dog Cafe to cater our daughter’s wedding, and from start to finish — planning to cleanup — the team was helpful, professional, and always a cut above our hopeful expectations. We requested — in lieu of an entrée meal — a large selection of hors d’ouvres along with a carving station (a reluctant decision we more than one time had questioned). However, we were not disappointed. While my wife and I were surprisingly pleased with the cuisine, it was of course our guests’ opinions we cared about most. To our delight (with candor I would say, relief) during the meal and spilling into the following day, we received raving compliment after raving compliment about the taste and selection of food at our daughter’s wedding reception. From easy-to-please relatives to out-of-towner foodies, The Bleu Dog Cafe staff and chefs seemed to understand exactly how to etch an event into hearts and souls of our beloved guests by giving us all wonderful tastes...

Delicious brunch one day - left hungry another day. I've eaten here sporadically over the years and have had good service and delicious food.

I have learned, however, that if you show up alone for breakfast on a Sunday you'll be shown a seat at the bar. At first I thought this wouldn't be an issue. However once seated I revisited the feeling I had when I was 8 years old and the countertop was much too high for a comfortable dining experience. I'm guessing the owners have never eaten at their own bar counter. I know I won't accept the invitation to do the same again.

Note to management: if the countertop is more than 12 inches above a patrons lap, they may not order much more than a cup of coffee and a glass of water.

I did appreciate the waitress asking about my plans for the day. At least I left feeling some semblance of appreciation...
