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.

I stopped in today and got an iced vanilla chai. The owners and employees are incredibly friendly, and the drink was delicious. I look forward to stopping in again to try their bagel sandwiches soon. Highly recommended!

The drinks are always delicious! They are always willing to make accommodations if I need them also. It is always such a friendly and welcoming place to go. I have also made new friends just by being a customer and meeting other customers. It’s like a modern day Cheers!

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!

Best place in Faribault, imo. The service is AMAZING, the staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is so inviting!! There are so many drink choices, I never run out of new options, and don't forget to try a bagel while you are there. I recommend the Garden Veggie, owner makes it fresh!!

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.
