Wine Cafe has something for everyone! Whether it’s wine, good service, or good food.
Shout out amazing staff! (I can’t remember all your names but I remember how sweet all of our conversations were.) I hope that still means a lot
I love the vibe, the natural lighting, the ambiance, the atmosphere. (If you have light sensitivity issues, it’s not overpowering -nice and moody, perhaps? Without the bad moods.)
Everytime I used to go there, I was always treated with respect.
To conclude, when I think about restaurants that have been most welcoming, genuine and accepting in the community, it’s them!
God bless, I hope that much good finds you all, amen! ❤️

The staff here are absolutely amazing. As someone who frequently went to downtown Mankato, the wine cafe is a breath of fresh air. Highly encourage everyone to try this gem out, because it is anything but a waste of time.

A girl friend of mine who is a Mankato native suggested the wine cafe, which was right below the airbnb at which we were staying. It had a cool laid back atmosphere, an eclectic fun mix of people and reasonable prices….Chris, the bartender, was a true mixologist– and took the time to go into detail about many aspects of the craft–displaying a real depth of knowledge about the ingredients how they were made and how they affected the flavors of the cocktails. I will definitely be back my next time in Mankato, and I highly recommend!

I was excited to go here and listen to live jazz music. The interior is unique. The first stretch is small and packed with quaint tables and you wouldn’t even know it wrapped around to contain a larger floor plan. The food selection is meager and overpriced. The wait was very long to order and get what you can see below as a weak plate of food. The supposed cheese played is 10 dollars and as you can see is not a cheese plate. It’s a plastic container of flavored cream cheese and MOLDY GRAPES. I politely notified the server and she said oh ok, was not interested in resolving the issue. I normally let things go but its moldy food. The servers clearly had favorites in the bar and spent time attending to them and ignored us. The wine was average priced and there is a decent selection. Dont bother with the food or expectations for good service. I would reccomend driving to chankaska winery in Kasota, from food to drinks and events they are worth the drive over. Will not be going back here.

I’m visiting a friend around the area and they brought me to the wine cafe. It’s a great atmosphere and the drinks were really good. The bar tenders were really nice and the prices were pretty good!

Love the staff, the patrons, the overall experience is great. The patio seating area is good looking, comfortable and roomy. Interior decor and seating is aging a bit and could use a refresh but doesn’t detract from having a great time! Recommended!

Love it! Wine Cafe has such a fun vibe! Laid back chic, a little hippie but also sophisticated! Perfect balance for any occasion. Wine, food, and cocktails are delicious! And the patio is absolutely adorable.

Cool atmosphere and aesthetic. Definitely not what you’d expect from a wine Cafe. But amazing selection of whiskey as well as very accommodating for large groups.
