The Ashwabay Alliance is excited to introduce the Ashwabay Café
Led by Executive Chef Jessica Pergolski and Hospitality Director Liesl Settgas. With thoughtful menu additions, local ingredients, nourishing food, and genuine care, Jessica and Liesl are helping shape a café that reflects the best of this place: welcoming, grounded, generous, and alive in every season.
Enhancing the menu with an emphasis on nourishing, high-quality food, local ingredients and warm atmosphere, the café will serve as a gathering place rooted in community. Come join us in the summer for a night of music under the stars at Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua. In the winter, warm up in the Mt Ashwabay Chalet after a run down the hill or a quiet glide through the Nordic trails. No matter the season, the Ashwabay
Café is here for you to relax, connect, and enjoy this place a little longer.
The Ashwabay Café reflects what we believe rooted in community can be: simple, nourishing, rooted in place, and full of care. Whether you are joining us for a winter afternoon in the chalet, a summer night under the stars, or a simple stop along the trail, the Ashwabay Café invites you to slow down, settle in, and enjoy this place we share.
**Our Summer Hours:
Show Dates: Cafe opens from 5:30pm through the show til 11:00pm( come before the show and stay after)
