01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Nestled in the heart of Faribault, MN, The Oasis Cafe is a vibrant coffee and bagel shop that has quickly become a beloved local gem. This charming neighborhood spot offers an inviting oasis for those seeking expertly crafted coffee drinks alongside a diverse and mouthwatering selection of bagels and bagel sandwiches. From the moment you step inside, the warm, welcoming atmosphere—highlighted by cozy velvet benches and friendly chatter—makes you feel right at home.

The menu is a delightful celebration of flavors, catering to both breakfast enthusiasts and lunchtime cravings. Imagine sinking your teeth into the Sunrise Surfer—a savory masterpiece with sausage, egg, bacon, and cheddar cheese crowned with creamy plain cream cheese, all nestled within a perfectly toasted everything bagel. Or perhaps the Ocean Avenue with simple, fresh egg and cheddar on a cheese bagel strikes your fancy for a lighter option. Sweet lovers will appreciate the Midwest Starter, where Nutella and strawberry jelly swirl together on a plain bagel for a blissfully indulgent treat. For those seeking variety, the shop also offers gluten-free bagels alongside classic favorites like the Blueberry, Pumpkin, and French Toast bagels, ensuring there’s something for every palate.

Lunchtime at The Oasis Cafe truly shines with creative bagel sandwiches like the Garden Lovers, bursting with fresh tomato, cucumber, spinach, and garden cream cheese on an everything bagel, providing a refreshing and wholesome bite. The hearty West Coast packs turkey, bacon, avocado, and provolone on a cheese bagel, hitting the perfect balance of rich and fresh flavors. Every sandwich is thoughtfully crafted with high-quality ingredients that deliver both comfort and excitement in every bite.

What sets The Oasis Cafe apart, beyond its delicious food, is the genuine hospitality of its owners and staff. Patrons consistently praise the friendly, warm service, making each visit feel like returning to a close friend’s home. One delighted customer shared how their iced vanilla chai was not only delicious but served with kindness that made the experience memorable. Another described the cafe as a modern-day Cheers, where meeting new friends is as natural as enjoying a great cup of coffee. It’s clear that The Oasis Cafe isn’t just a coffee and bagel shop—it’s a community hub where comfort, connection, and culinary delight all come together.

Whether you’re craving a perfectly brewed coffee, an inventive bagel sandwich, or simply a cozy spot to gather and unwind, The Oasis Cafe at 212 Central Ave N #B is a must-visit in Faribault. Every visit promises fresh flavors, friendly faces, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps customers coming back again and again.

I have only been a few times due to living out of state but it gets better every time. I went in with a couple of friends and we had bagel sandwiches and energy drinks while visiting on velvet benches. Delicious food, reasonable price, a variety of seating options, and if that wasn’t enough, the owner is one of the most warm and caring people I have ever met!

Whether it is a drink from the menu or a new creation just for me, Kristie makes fun delicious drinks. She remembers how I like it - including dairy-free. Now with the addition of bagels to the menu it is even more difficult to leave and get on with my day. Everything I've tried has been tasty. I know I could take it to go, but it so nice to sit and chat with everyone there. The atmosphere is welcoming. It is a great place to visit with those you know and those you have just met.
