Small town. Big flavor.

Inspired by two beloved pups—a bird-loving Brittany Spaniel and a stylish little Yorkie—our dog-themed cafe is all heart. Owners Dan Bloomquist and Eva Marie created Moose & Stella’s Cafe, a space that blends delicious food, cozy vibes, and a love for animals. From wild breakfast skillets to gourmet French toast, everything on the menu is made with care (and just a touch of canine spirit).

“Stopped by with the family and we all loved it! The Hanger Steak was delicious and the chocolate chip pancakes were so good and fluffy. Regardless of being a big group, our waitress was very attentive with each one of us. Thank you!”

Hidden gem of Kalkaska. I stop nearly every time I’m driving through, even when it’s not on our route. Food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. The kitchen cranks the food out so quickly, and their service staff is always kind and friendly. Gary, our golden retriever, had his first dining experience and absolutely loved it. He was greeted like a regular guest and got his own bowl of water plus he loved his burger! I will keep coming back to Moose & Stella’s, plus who doesn’t love the dog theme!
