Who doesn’t love delicious, made-from-scratch baked goods? This small town cafe has that and so much more. If you love German food, especially, you absolutely must visit this place. It may be a bit out of the way but it’s worth the extra miles to enjoy fresh, perfectly made cakes, pies, kuchen, German cuisine, and more.

The Home Plate Cafe is an iconic part of Fredonia, North Dakota, a tiny town with only 44 residents. It’s a bit of a drive from any bigger city, but it’s worth the journey for the delicious homemade food.

The Home Plate Cafe doesn’t just pride itself in from-scratch baked goods; all of their food is made with the same philosophy. Hand-pressed beef patties are used on their burgers, and the fries are fresh-cut.
