BrianMcM - This is where it all started. One summer 2006 Saturday morning after a 5 mile run on the LRT Trail that runs west of Excelsior along Lake Minnetonka, Jeff and I decided to have a bowl of oatmeal in addition to the usual cup of (excellent) coffee. That singular moment provided the inspiration for a journey to discover a bowl that could equal or even surpass the oatmeal at the 318. The oatmeal here is not the ordinary soupy mush of many restaurants. It has texture, fragrance and is visually appealing. The 318 obviously takes great pride in the quality and presentation of its oatmeal. It is served with raisins and bananas along with milk and brown sugar. I think the key to the 318's oatmeal is the topping of uncooked oatmeal which provides crunchiness. We are always pleased with the service offered by the smiling and attractive wait staff. They never hesitate to offer Jeff's dog a bowl of water after our long runs. Additionally, 318 is a very scenic cafe in on Water Street in the cozy downtown Excelsior marketplace and also fronts the LRT bike path. The 318 Cafe also hosts jazz, country and folk musicians on most nights of the week. Their site has a music booking calendar. Oatmeal = 4.75, Ambience = 4.75, Service = 5
