Review: "The Cabin Cafe" In Downtown Bemidji

The Cabin is a recently redecorated café located in downtown Bemidji. With this exceptional location, finding parking spots during the day is hectic, but worth it. The café indeed embodies a cabin from the outside with wood paneling covering the exterior. It instantly gives off a cozy-meets-artistic vibe. Chalkboard signs cover the door reading, "Stay warm with the soup of the day!" and "Live music on Tuesdays 4-7 p.m."

On the inside, the aroma of fresh bread and coffee fills the space and there are several interesting decorations. Many mounted lights dangle from the wall creating an intimate ambiance. In addition, a large selection of seating is available including a bar facing the streets of downtown, tables throughout the large café, two cozy couches, and a kids play area.

Alternative music plays quietly in the background, but loud enough to enjoy. The Cabin's atmosphere is chill, artistic, but family-friendly.

The menu is broken down into breakfast, lunch, drinks, bakery, and kid options. The bakery consist of cookies, bars, and muffins worth drooling over in the display. Some items are gluten free or organic. Breakfast options vary from oatmeal to breakfast ham sandwiches. The lunch items seem to be the most popular, since offering the most options -- from meat sandwiches, to vegetarian wraps, to salads. The drink options consist of coffee, smoothies, hot chocolate, tea, also having almond or coconut-milk substitutes.

The menu aims at healthy eaters because they are made with all natural ingredients. The prices are similar to an average café. Drinks range from $1-6 and food costs from $7-12. Employees are always friendly and seem laid-back, fitting right in with the overall vibe of the restaurant. To pass the time while waiting for your order, looking at artwork, or browsing the different types of fresh bread and jelly for sale could do.

Compared to Caribou Coffee or Starbucks, the Cabin seems more unique, artistic, and offers homemade options. The Cabin is the perfect place to go to study, eat great food, and relax.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
