Good Friends—Good Food—Good Coffee
Our Story
Where It All Began
It all started with a dream of serving good, homemade, from-scratch food to our community. Opening Blue Heron Coffeehouse in 1998, we provided unique, quality food and coffee to Winona. Soon, we cultivated a community of folks from all walks of life. They came to sit, chat, eat, drink and share experiences. Outgrowing our building, we moved to a larger space downtown. We still maintain the same values we began with and support local growers and artists every chance we get. With our large repertoire of recipes, culinary adventurism and commitment to quality, we offer a diverse menu unique in the Winona Market.
“We believe the preparations and cooking of food is one of the most delightful activities a human can do, and recognize that the enjoyment of wholesome food is essential to the pursuit of happiness.”
