You guys bought a turn-key business with decades of experience and a collection of much loved recipes. Please put things back until you've mastered the old system under new ownership and then experiment with different ingredients and recipes on the side. I'm sure suppliers would be happy to give you samples to test out. Just my opinion but I think a popular one. I've been coming here since 96' and will continue to despite the grumbling, but let's own up to the sub-par focaccia and make it right.

Any worker, especially one wearing a medical mask, automatically deserves some understanding & working class solidarity, but this AM we are wondering why the dude bothered to be rude to us.

The coffee is great as always, but the selection of food and pastries is quite a bit less than it has been in the past. Their almond croissants were always their tastiest item and my go-to, but haven't seen them there in months. If/when they get back to full strength, they will be a five star spot again.

I’m really supportive of the workers’ coop and I want this place to succeed. In that spirit, I wish they’d step up their baked goods game. The baked goods used to be sooooo good and I’m sorry to say they’re not so good now. Specifically, they used to have the absolutely best croissants, and now they have none. Also, the fruit danish used to be really special; now, it’s made with pastry cream instead of cream cheese, and it’s not a good change. I’m not sure why these changes happened; maybe the old pastry chef left when they switched to a coop?

Great coffee, amazing pastries, warm and comforting environment, friendly staff. 10/10 will be back and a mainstay whenever I’m in Minneapolis. This place deserves your business.
Also the cinnamon roll was HANDS down one of the best cinnamon rolls I’ve had in this country

My favorite neighborhood cafe. Great food prepared fresh. Best coffee. Pastries and treats to die for. Kid friendly. #
The baked goods are amazing! My mom who got to live in France for very many years said these were some of the best croissant she had in The twin cities.

Delish! Must try....pumpkin bars! The frosting is extra creamy! Best part is no nutmeg or allspice to overpower!
Just had the weirdest experience at May Day. I get pizza there all the time. It usually comes out around 10 am ish. Today, I asked about pizza stacked on plates behind a panel, (it’s usually in a pan). I asked if it was made today, since it didn’t look like it. The dude, mumbled that he didn’t know, then proceeded to pat it with a spatula, and move it around, kind of playing with it until it fell off of the plate. He seemed high af. He showed no affect about what had just happened. The other employee threw it away. The guy continued to act very strangely, as if very high; no actual engagement with me. He also asked me to sign a receipt for my Apple Pay, (no eye contact), which doesn’t require a signature. It’s basically for customers to add a tip, for counter service(?). I told him I didn’t need to sign, and he mumbled something with that same weird affect. WTH?
Another thing. When you pay with Apple Pay, you don’t need to sign, so they’re just giving you a slip of paper receipt to add a tip. If I want to add a tip I’ll use the tip jar or ask to do so. Most baristas don’t hand the tip ask receipt to you anymore. The employee today, not the stoned guy, told me she needed it back even with no tip. That’s false. The sale is already electronically recorded. That’s my receipt. Please get this policy straight. We don’t have to sign anything.

Anti-Semitic. The 2 employees working here refused to serve me because of my race while working in a city uniform. Not all are welcome, despite what they claim.
Delicious food.
I just wish they were open later.
