Property Description
Now offered for sale, this beloved family-owned restaurant is housed in the iconic Gustaf Anderson House, a beautifully restored 1879 Italianate brick landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Nestled in Minnesota's “Little Sweden,” this turnkey eatery has been a cherished destination since 2018, offering fresh breakfast, brunch, lunch, Scandinavian specialties, premium desserts, and locally sourced delights.
Lovingly revived with care and vision, Gustaf's Eatery is more than a business—it's a thoughtfully restored piece of Lindström history. The red brick “Crown Jewel” house—once home to Swedish immigrant Gustaf Anderson, who struck gold in Montana—now serves locals, travelers, and tourists as a warm and welcoming dining space full of Old World charm and modern comfort.
This is your chance to carry on a vision built with faith, community spirit, and dedication to preservation. Whether you dream of running a bustling café, hosting weekend brunches, or creating a gathering place steeped in story, Gustaf's Eatery is ready for its next chapter. Sale includes business and building. Right on the main throughfare(Hwy 8) with averages of 23,000 cars per day. Showings by appointment only. First time offered to the public in over 40 years!
Gorgeous 19th Century Historic building that has been updated and well cared for. The basement is the cleanest one I have ever seen in this era building. ADA compliant bathroom, upper level has additional dining space-event space, etc and an office and bathroom for employees. Main level has a main and secondary dining space and a back sunroom as well. The upper porch would be a great addition to the seating options if a new owner wanted to add more outdoor space. Property has its own 10 space parking lot plus street parking. Fully ADA compliant.
