Our Story: From Fremont to Burnsville

The story of Jensen's Cafe began in the post-depression era in rural Fremont, Nebraska. Alvin Jensen operated a small gas station along Broad Street until taking over the Cafe across the street. Every five years, in honor of their Danish heritage, customers received free aebleskiever (Danish doughnuts). Little did he know how long - and far - this little restaurant would go. The Fremont Cafe celebrated its 30-year anniversary in February of 1977. Fast forward to the late 1990's in Burnsville, Minnesota, where two long-time restaurateurs, Brian Hehr and Doron Jensen, saw an opportunity to bring a Cafe to the newly planned downtown area. Jensen's Cafe was reborn and officially opened its doors on March 30 of 2005. Today, Jensen's Cafe prides itself on many of the same values which made the Fremont Cafe so popular - homemade soups, famous butter maple syrup, made-from-scratch pancakes, locally-roasted coffee, and plenty of other home-style delights.
