Ingredients Cafe

the food here is always been awesome. But I would say as of late the chef has gotten better. The drinks are great quality. We had the pleasure of being served by the owner of remarkable woman. from the street it’s easy to underestimate the quality of this place. It’s a perfect place for a date night a great meal as you can see from the picture. I had one of the best steaks I’ve had anywhere in white Bear Lake. Also a fantastic bourbon with my meal. There are not many places around here where you can get the taste and experience that ingredients provides.

My family and I went to Ingredients Cafe tonight for our first time, and LOVED it! Rebecca, the owner is so kind, and the entire staff gave great service that was genuinely hospitable. The food was GREAT! My husband ordered the Ribeye special and it was cooked exactly how he ordered. I need to eat the GF way, and there were many options. I ordered the pork chops and substituted the coconut basmati rice, and loved it! But, more importantly, our 13 yo daughter loved the food too! The music was fantastic! This is one of our new favorite hangouts in White Bear Lake!

Absolutely the best. This place is a hidden Gem and the food was outstanding. The chef" Jake" and " Steve" the server were just amazing and accommodating. The wild rice soup was out of this world. Everything was smooth and tasty and the sauce was amazing. They accommodate us by replacing the beef in the Korean street Tacos with Mahi-Mahi. My wife and I can’t have beef. And that was a delicious and tasty choice. Even the kids meal was outstanding. If you are every in the area, don’t miss this dining experience and be sure to seek out the chef. My compliments.

We came in about 30 minutes till close and were fully prepared to be turned down because it was near closing time... Instead, we were greeted with smiles, live music was still playing softly at the front of the restaurant, people were still sitting at their tables enjoying the warm atmosphere. The food is incredible. We did apps and dessert with a couple of cocktails. The pear salad is wonderful, especially when you get a bite with everything on the plate. The tres leches cake was also a big winner and the ice cream they pair it with is otherworldly. Rebecca (our waitress) made us feel welcomed, she was friendly and expressed how thankful she was for our business. We will be returning next time we visit Minnesota! Thank you!

We stopped here with a couple of friends for dinner on a Friday night. They had a live band playing acoustics which was nice. Overall, the atmosphere was good, felt laid back and friendly. Three of us ordered the Filet's which were awesome. The sauce that it came with surprised us a bit since it's not what it sounded like from the description, but it was much better. The Dan-Dan Noodles were also great, a bit over powering with ginger for some, but overall great. Will be back.

A very enjoyable dining experience. The acoustic live music wasn't so loud that we had difficulty hearing our conversation. Several dining companions had dietary restrictions, but we were all able to find something delicious. The desserts were beautifully presented. If the weather has been warmer, their patio looks lovely, although it is right by the parking lot.

What a great date night experience! Our server, Steven, was awrsome and gave great recommendations. I had a burger, which was cooked perfectly. My husband had the pork chop that came with a side of spicy lo mein noodles, which I highly recommend. Can't wait to try something different next time!
