Greengrass Cafe

Amazing place for breakfast/​brunch! We’ve been there for several times. Today we had steak&egg, breakfast sandwich, pig in a blanket, and house made granola, all is super fresh and delicious.

Excellent food and service! My family and I absolutely love this place. They have a great build your own breakfast menu and everything we had was delicious. They even have local ice cream that we got is a dessert after which we love. Great prices and a great local spot to check out in La Crosse!

What a great find! My kind of place. Independent, lots of healthy options, great staff.
Wondering why every breakfast place on the planet doesn’t offer a Build Your Own Breakfast…
Kid friendly, sells beer and has great ice cream. Thinking I could eat here every day because of the varied menu.
Loved it.

Great little breakfast spot — friendly atmosphere and awesome food! Had the Cajun eggs Benny with a never empty cup of coffee, thanks to our wonderful server. I would highly recommend it if you’re passing through!

I get the impression that this would be a great place to meet some friends and have a Bloody Mary or a brunch cocktail. The restaurant is nice, clean, and cozy. The staff was friendly. However, I wouldn’t come here just for breakfast again.
I asked for the half-​order of Biscuits & Gravy and a Steak Omelette. The biscuits were nice and fluffy and I enjoyed them. The gravy had nice chunks of sausage in it, however, it was under salted and a little more floury than I like. The sourdough bread that came with the omlette tasted as if it had been burnt and they scraped off the burned parts. The hash browns were good. The red onions in the omelette were brown and tasted like they had been cooked in burnt butter. I’m probably a little more critical than I normally would be, but I was the only person in the restaurant when I ordered and received my meal. With just me there, I feel that the chef could have taken his time and made a perfect meal or at least used two new pieces of bread, which was the first thing that I ate and kind of set the tone for the meal.

Stopped in on a Saturday morning about 10:00 am. Self seat was nice, grabbed a great table right away. We were promptly presented a menu which was reasonably priced and all sounded amazing! I had their take on a monty cristo and my husband had the southern eggs benedict… they were delicious!!! Coffee was good, nothing too special but solid. Service was informal and pretty timely… took off stars because our waitress was clearly very sick, which is quite a turn off in food service. Overall breakfast for two with coffee was $ 23 which is a great deal especially for fantastic food!

Decent prices, good selection of foods. Food took forever to get to us, almost an hour. Then they brought it one dish at a time some times waiting up to five minutes between trips. Then they had messed up three of our orders in a party of eight. Once the food finally came it was very good besides some people getting the wrong things.

Fantastic food as always. Great place to come and have fresh made food and by the way breakfast all day long. Ask what the beer specials are and you may be surprised.
Annie was a fantastic representation of the business. Always friendly and she remembers us.

I visited the Greengrass Café for breakfast and was incredibly impressed. I just recently heard about this café even though I have lived in La Crosse all my life. This is truly a hidden gem. The food was amazing and the staff was accomodating to my special dietary requests without making me feel like a pest. The service was a little slow but being a lazy Sunday morning we didn’t mind and our server, along with the rest of the staff, was very friendly. I will absolutely be back and can’t wait to try some of the amazing sounding dishes!

Been there three times, once for lunch and twice for breakfast. The time I came for lunch I thought it was great and my friends and I all really liked the food and the family-​friendliness of the place. The sandwiches, burgers, and fries were all really good. I would definitely go again for lunches.
Which brings me to the breakfasts. How do you mess up breakfast food? I have been there twice now for breakfast and both times the food was so disappointing I couldn’t even finish what I ordered. The hash browns were soggy with oil, not even butter — butter would have at least tasted good, these just tasted like soggy potatoes in vegetable oil. The hollandase sauce on the Benny was thick and greasy and totally lacking flavor and the english muffin it was on was really low quality.
Both times I was there for breakfast they seemed to be doing a brisk business, so maybe it’s just me, but I think there are better breakfast places in town.

We are regulars my wife and I really enjoy this little neighborhood restaurant. Burgers are great! Enjoyed the atmosphere. Board games are enjoyed by our family, trivia night is fun also.

Super delicious: Three egg omelette with cheddar cheese, caramelized red onions, tomatoes, red peppers. Toast: could have been hotter when my food came, and I like it when they put the butter on so it melts. Coffee: free flowing, never wanting for any, pretty good coffee. Fruit cup: super delicious, mostly grapes, super fresh.
Good service, very cute décor, love the comfy pillows all along the wall. A+

This was the first time I have been here and the menu and beer choices are excellent. Had there Greek omelet for breakfast and was very pleased.
Will definably be back.

Great environment, family atmosphere, great breakfast spot. I would recommend for a great place for family and friends

This will not be my last time visiting for brunch. Amazing Bloody Mary with a full flavored rim of herbs and any choice of beer chaser. Loved the variety of Egg Benedicts and the pancake was delicious and only $ 1.50! Great service and homey atmosphere. The decorative pillows is a great touch.

Great atmosphere and outstanding value. Came here with my girlfriend and parents and thoroughly enjoyed it. The cinnamon French toast are HUGE for $ 2.25/slice. Granola with yogurt and blueberries/​strawberries were also good too. Definitely returning here next time we’re in La Crosse! Light years better than Fayze’s breakfast and Greengrass serves breakfast all day! My only constructive feedback is they need to upload their menu to Unilocal or FB page.

I loved this little café. I loved the atmosphere. The chairs that didn’t match, the exposed ceiling, the pillows on the benches, the toy bins for kids… The staff is also very nice. I like the menu, there area different options compared to your regular diner. We have been here twice and the food was delicious both times!

Probably shouldn’t have wanted take out, but that’s what we do on Saturdays. I ordered the Count of Monte Cristo, and fries, my husband ordered the Memphis with a side of Mac and cheese. We live right across the Mississippi River in Minnesota so the distance might have changed the order. When we opened what we ordered we got quite a surprise. Husband got a side of coleslaw, not Mac and cheese as he ordered. His sandwich had coleslaw ON IT so why would he order it as a side??? He didn’t, either the waitress or cook made a mistake. My Count of Monte Cristo sandwich was not toasted or melted, it was quite soggy. The bread wasn’t toasted and the ham and cheese wasn’t even melted. A disaster. My fries were very good, better if they were hotter, but again with the distance driven, they were very good. Will have to try eating inside, as take out of what we ordered, was pretty bad.
Please don’t review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you’re connected in any way to the owner or employees.

We were just visiting the area for the weekend and our family really enjoyed this place. Atmosphere is chill and modern. Food is good and fresh (when there in the right season). Bacon was a thick cut! I liked their multiple selections of egg Benny’s. Service was friendly and accommodating. Price is highly reasonable (better than Paneras). But most of all, it’s kid-​friendly. You walk in and the first thing you see are toys for the little ones to occupy themselves.
Hope you enjoy it too!

I could tell that this would be good from the moment I stepped in the door. This is my ideal breakfast café/​hangover hangout. Too bad I live so far away! I had the Cajun Bene, which was (were?!) wonderful and completely unlike anything I’ve ever eaten for breakfast. The spicy hollandaise teetered on the edge of being too salty, but I loved it. My husband did too, as evidenced by the fact that he kept reaching over to mop the sauce up off my plate with his bread! Our service was friendly and prompt, and I liked it that food never sat up in the window for more than a few seconds. Instead, the friendly cooks would run it immediately out to the tables. Good food, reasonable prices, and homey diner atmosphere: I will be back as often as I can get to La Crosse.
