Always enjoy my meals here! They have a limited breakfast menu, but still great options. The staff is friendly and if you love hearty muffins, get the wild side or espresso chocolate, sooooo good!

The Wild Hare is a nice, authentic place. The style and atmosphere seems sincere and old style, which is really unique and is not something I've seen a lot of. The coffee is really good, and not crazy sugary. The staff are nice and seem to be hard working, especially since it can be a busy place. If you like good coffee or want a place to have a good sandwich, try this place out!

I loved the wild rice salad, and my husband enjoyed (devoured) his sandwich. Both our meals were very good and creative.

This corner bistro is a gem. Handcrafted sandwiches and brewed coffee drinks that are worth seeking out. The atmosphere is quaint, we saw quite a bit of takeout although we ate in. The sandwich. Sandwich ingredients are fresh and served with either chips or a delightful fruit medley side. It's worth noting that the bread felt like it came right out of the oven, warm and fresh on all of our sandwiches. We are bikers who visit annually and make sure to plan a stop at this lunch location.

The Wild Hare is my absolute favorite place to get food in town. I lived in Bemidji for 18 years, and now every time I go back, stopping here is top of my list. The only thing that I love more than their soups and sandwiches are the desserts. The staff are also always friendly. My top recommendations: Turkey with a Twist sandwich, Lemon Bar, and Pumpkin Bar.

Quaint shop, with awesome savory scones. Only downside is that they close all weekend.
