If your are down on Riverfront around lunch you should stop by. The sandwiches are all delicious and they have a great option for take home meals for an easy dinner after work. If your already in for something savory might as well snag a sweet which they have plenty of. Love having such an amazing bakery so close that has similar values as me.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I love Wooden Spoon! It’s one of the few places around Mankato where I can reliably find great gluten-free options. I always enjoy stopping in to grab gluten-free treats, and their soups and take-home meals are so good. It makes eating well easy, even on busy days when I don’t have time to cook. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming, and it really feels like a neighborhood gem.

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 everyone we know!
