On the shore of the St. Croix, the Dock Cafe looks upriver to the historic Stillwater Lift
bridge and downriver to Lake St. Croix. A half hour from the Twin Cities, it lies on the
edge of picturesque downtown Stillwater, nestled between the St. Croix and the river
bluffs. The patio, bar and dining rooms provide unrivaled views as well as the area’s
most complete menu choices. A taste of the Dock’s special sourdough bread alone is
adequate to guarantee a return trip.
The warm contemporary architecture of the Dock cafe is comfortable and
inviting. In the summer, activity centers around the large brick patio with trees and
flowers. Wide expanses of glass offer panoramic views to those dining inside. During
cooler weather, a prominent fireplace draws diner’s attention inward toward collections
of ethnographic textiles and exquisite locally made pottery. A focal point of the bar area
is a 4’ x 24’ topographic survey map of the St. Croix River.
Our dining rooms are available for private parties November through April.
These rooms make ideal spots for holiday parties, grooms dinners and small weddings.
The Dock Cafe is a truly unique, one-of-a-kind dining experience.![]()
