It’s a cafe with a bookstore! There’s also art and local crafts scattered around too. Fun place to check out. Chill vibes. Staff is nice. Drinks are delicious. Food is good. Plenty of seating. There is a separate meeting room with a long table that looks to fit 8 people. There’s also plenty of parking outside.Cake is ok, would not get again. The cake part is tasty but the frosting is pure sugar and no other flavors (not even vanilla came out!). It’s like eating a spoonful of sugar. One of them was grainy in texture. Would have loved it if it was a french buttercream frosting because the cake itself is good. Could just be my personal preference (prefer a buttery buttercream vs straight sugar).Overall I would come back for everything else. It’s such a unique cafe!

This is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE place to eat in Willmar. They’ve got excellent salad options (which are hard to find in this area). They also have boba and baked goods! I would highly recommend Middle Fork to anyone wanting a nice breakfast or lunch spot.

Love the food! However, the sandwiches could be a little bigger considering they are $9.50!

I was uncomfortable the moment I walked in. It seems very 'clicky'. We were unable to look at all of the book selection because you had to try to get through the line of people ordering food. Did not eat there.

We were surprised to see a cafe and bookstore as we came in for lunch. We enjoyed the atmosphere. The restaurant has unique bookshelves and table set up. The food and the service is average at best. The price of the food is a little steep for what you get. The food gave me a upset stomach. We would not recommend the place.

They have some unique menu items, but what they served was mediocre at best. The place was ok but feels a bit cafeteria like, and the employees were very disorganized and forgetful... Forgot what I ordered, even after I paid and sat in front of them.

Amazing place and food! The 2 gals working were so wonderful! They made everything themselves. Best bagel sandwich! Great coffee and smoothies.
