    Great breakfast spot. Friendly staff and good food. Could be the best corned beef hash I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to have it again.

    HOLY SMOKES.....We are up north at our land off lund rd near Fife lake. After a cold morning hunt I put " places to eat breakfast near me" a few popped up. One in particular Moose & Stella's Cafe... We haven't even left yet. Right now were sitting in the parking lot writing this, because it WAS SOOOOOO AMAZING. From the minute you walk in the door, your greeted with these AWESOME pictures of doggies, in all different poses. The place is small and quaint. But the turn around is impressive. So there's a nice sized bar, with amazing espresso. We sat at the high top with 2 seats at the end of the bar. The whole place screams of love and family. The special was a STUFFES HASHBROWN (what??) Yes stuffed with sausages bacon red n green peppers onions tomato and topped with an incredible sauce. I got the hash skillet w/ 3 eggs toast n 2 small blueberry pancakes. My son got a stack of original homemade pancakes.(2) Two only 2 pancakes. Im 6' my hands are pretty big they were bigger then my hands are tip to tip. They were crispy on the outside and the fluffiness inside was a delicious delight. The skillet was filled with homemade cornbeef hash crispy and the hash chunks were as big as nickles.. it was definitely on of the finest most delicious breakfasts we have ever had. I told my wife all about it...Yea she was jealous when she saw the pictures. The staff was happy fun and fast. 10 STARS ALL DAY. It was so good I left a $17 dollar tip on a $40 bill. OH OH OH.. YEA.That espresso machine was a worling.. The mocha and the double shot expresso we had was so so so damm good. My son got his 1st expresso and hes still raving about it... WE WILL BE BACK EVERYTIME WERE UP AT OUR LAND.. THANKS FOR A GRRRRRRRREAR BREAKFAST EXPERIENCE THE COUNELIS'S
