History
Blue Heron Coffeehouse began in September 1998 in Winona
MN, directly across from Winona
State University
and began providing quality food products made from scratch using organically grown
ingredients whenever possible. The menu included coffee, espresso, tea, beverages, soups, salads, sandwiches,
pastries and desserts, many of them vegetarian and vegan. |

Goal
Our goals are to promote good food that is goal, seasonal
and organically grown, to inform consumers that there is a choice in Winona for such food and for
vegetarian and vegan options, to advocate sustainability and bio-diversity and cultivate
a sense of community and a gathering space to support local growers, artists and
musicians. The driving force behind the Blue Heron Coffeehouse has always been our
passion for providing good food and service to our community.
With our large repertoire of recipes, culinary adventurism and commitment
to quality we are able to offer a diversity of menu items to create a niche
in the Winona market.

Making good
food from scratch is an extension of what we were already doing for our large family,
raising our own food organically and cooking fresh healthy meals. We have been steadfast in our efforts to acquire
quality organically grown ingredients, locally if possible, as a basis for good
food. Wefve produced both familiar and unique items not found elsewhere and made
them in small batches to ensure quality and freshness, thus creating certain propriety
to our offerings. We strive to focus on our
customerfs needs and provide quality, personal service. Our goal to build our reputation for good food
done well in a warm inviting space that would appeal to people from a cross section
of our community with an appreciation for such things has been largely met. These things have helped to define and establish
us in our own niche and give us a competitive advantage.
