“ Love their menu! My go-to order is the kimchi toast and a matcha latte. Their pastry case always has amazing goodies too! ”
“ My husband and I are breakfast lovers. We make sure it's our one big meal a day. While in La Crosse, came across a little restaurant with an impressive 5 star rating- and it did not disappoint. Food made from scratch and delicious. Our waitress, Jessica, was friendly and bright, made us feel welcomed. We had to wait 30 minutes to be seated but it was a Saturday mid morning so all in all, not unexpected- but totally worth the wait! Try the breakfast cocktails to go with your delicious breakfast! You won't be disappointed! ”
“ Everything was DAMN tasty! I could taste the care that went into the food. From the salad and soup to the coffee and baked goods.. everything was full of flavor and love. Highly recommend checking this place out! The mocha cupcake frosting was so delicious it caught us off guard. I also enjoyed my Turkish eggs order and will definitely be getting that again. ”
“ I’m back on the road again, looking for some of the best food and drinks throughout the midwest! The first stop was La Crosse, Wisconsin, where I was able to catch up with a good friend of mine. When we were talking about where to go for lunch, she said she had heard all about this restaurant, but hadn’t been. With the name like The Damn Tasty, we figured we better check it out and see if it lives up to its name. It was a little hard to find because they don’t have the most obvious sign directing you to their space in the strip of shops and we did have to put our name on the waiting list, but as you can see, it was WELL WORTH IT. The menu was fairly limited with some breakfast options and lunch options, but you could tell that the menu was curated and it was limited because they focused on doing everything well. Let’s get down to the food... We ordered the Kimchi Toast with kimchi cream cheese, thick cut bacon, fried egg, chili crisp, dressed greens, grilled sourdough. Honestly, this was 10/10. A little messy to cut up, but holy cow the flavor... Banh Mi Burger with a potsticker pork patty, pickled veggies, shaved cucumber, garlic mayo, chili crisp, cilantro, fried egg, seeded roll! Another one of their best sellers and I can see why. Finally, we had the French Toast with blueberry compote, lemon curd, honeyed whipped cream, cinnamon crunch. I guess we figured we needed a little bit of sweet with all of our savory! ”
“ An incredible meal in a comfy atmosphere with great service. What more could one want? Highly recommend the kimchi cream cheese toast. And the hash was comfortable food at its finest. Completely delectable! ”
“ The food were great and bakery item was delicious. Service was top notch and quick once you are seated. We had lunch around 12.30 and they were almost out of bakery items at the front so its definitely more for breakfast. Serving size was generous and much better than many of the cafes in town. There was quite a wait to get a table. We waited around 45 minutes. We left our names and then went a visit the antique show close by to past time. ”
“ Had the Banh Mi sausage burger, it was amazing! Great service and the pastries look wonderful. Winter air is cold, be ready to wear your jacket! ”
“ The Damn Tasty definitely lived up to its name when we visited around noon on a Sunday. Everything arrived hot and packed with flavor. While the place was busy and not big on elbow room, the vibe was still somehow relaxed. Great people and fresh food on the North side. Represent! ”
