“Had lunch there today and it was great! Loved the baquette and beef and pickles and chips! And cream soda! Also, attentive and kind staff!“

“Amazing food in a comfortable setting with great service.“

“Best pasta in the Twin Cities?????? Cavatelli with Rabbit Sugo was marvelous. We swapped and tried each others and I was equally floored by all of them. Wonderful service. Our server was friendly and helpful. Delicious drinks and cheesecake for dessert (ate immediately, not pictured). Absolutely will come back- hopefully soon!“

“We held our company Christmas Party at their beautiful restaurant and had such a great time! The staff were so attentive and wonderful to interact with throughout the whole evening! We ordered an array of food and our employees couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic the prime rib and KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) were! The talk around the shop about this event and the delicious food went on for days! We all had such a great experience from start to finish. They made it so easy to plan, set up, host and tear down. We would highly recommend anyone looking to host a party to come here! Now if you are just looking for a bite to eat for a date night or family night out, they also have you covered. No matter what plans you have this is the spot to be! A huge thanks to Lake and Irving for all they did for us and a massive thank you to Chris the chef! That meal was better than we could have ever expected!“

“My friend and I had an incredible time at Owamni. My compliments to the chef. Truly one of a kind experience. The food was outstanding from start to finish ( presentation, flavor profile, texture, all natural and full of character). There’s not a place that’s more unique than Owamni in Minnesota, in my opinion . I highly recommend this establishment, and I wish you prosperity and success.“

“Amazing food. We shared 4 plates. Each one better than we could have wished for. Possibly the best Paloma I’ve ever had. The manager Natalie took tremendous care of us. Fabulous experience.“

“First off, I would highly recommend this restaurant. The value is great. With that said, the wait staff was very pushy; if the chef left this place wouldn’t be worth a thing.“

“Nice atmosphere! I don't drink coffee, but I enjoyed their chai latte and they had a bunch of delicious looking pastry options. Also love that the profits support youth futsal programs!“

“A neighborhood gem. The food was fantastic. The coffee was super fresh and delicious. It's cooked to order, which is my favorite. You'll love this place.

Kid-friendliness: It is family oriented so it is kid friendly.“

“This place is not inexpensive; but the food is worth every single penny. It’s unique, it’s vegan, it’s delicious, and it’s healthy. The atmosphere is very comfortable. (although the music was a little bit loud for conversation). I shared the cauliflower tacos and hummus plate and we each had a glass of wine and took the yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy cheesecake home (the cheesecake seemed expensive at the time; but I will purchase it again and again. Every taste was Yum Yum Yum Yum.). a lot of times when I go out to eat I think; I could’ve saved money and just ate at home. However, I truly felt my money was well spent! The food was fresh. Very tasty. The arugula salad was phenomenal, even though it was very simple. I need to come back here way more often. Thank you very much for your dedication to healthy, tasty, vegan food. Also, their dedication to quality continues year after year. I think that’s wonderful.“

“Lovely atmosphere with great staff and fabulous cider! Watching the younger generation curling was so fun!“

“Lots of fun. Great place to hang out.“

“Minneapolis Cider Co is easily one of the best spots in the city for great drinks and an even better atmosphere. Their ciders are consistently flavorful—bright, crisp, and creative without being overly sweet. There’s always something new on tap, and the staff is happy to help you find a cider that fits your taste.

The taproom itself is spacious, inviting, and perfect for everything from a casual night out to meeting up with friends. Between the pickleball courts, events, and rotating food options, there’s always something going on, and the vibe is upbeat without feeling chaotic.

Service has always been friendly and quick, and the whole experience feels really well-run. Whether you’re a cider fan or just looking for a fun place to hang out, Minneapolis Cider Co is absolutely worth a visit.“

“The best breakfast in the MN. Everything on the menu is delicious 🤤“

“Years overdue, but one experience was able to define my entire impression of this establishment because the food was really good. Some of the items in my pictures no longer exist on the menu, but I have faith that whatever they have decided to replace those items with must be great as well. It is also cool to see some of the items that I had in 2021 are still around! I am honestly really happy to see it.

Pretty much everything was a hit in my opinion. The A5 wagyu nigiri resulted in one very pleasant bite because the wagyu beef, which was supposed to be fatty in texture, did it work in providing the rice with a rich flavor as well. The panzanella had multiple ingredients such as cucumber, avocado, and serrano pepper, and having a bonito mayo giving it additional flavor made the dish work but in terms of flavor and texture. The stracciatella was interesting because I have never seen salsa verde and wasabi together in one dish, and it tasted pretty good. I wasn't used to it, but I could more than tolerate it for sure. The pork gyoza was really good as well, not only because the wood ear mushrooms provided a layer of texture that the dumpling didn't have, but also because the foie gras provided some richness to the gyoza. In terms of pasta, both the squid ink pappardelle and the fettuccine ai uni were great! The pasta was al dente. There was enough crab and bolognese in the dish. And the pecorino romano cheese in the squid ink pasta provided extra creaminess texture since I mixed it in with the sauce. Both dishes were super solid.

It seems like prices have increased drastically since I was last here in 2021, which I understand is because of inflation, but it makes the dishes way less afforable now. The squid ink pasta, which is still on the menu, went from $23 to $32.5, and that's quite a bit. Because of that, I don't think this is one of those places one would visit all the time. For a special occasion, though, based on the food alone, worth it.“

“My favorite pizza in the Cities. I usually stick with the Old Reliable because it's a fantastic classic, and their seasonal vegetable and/or the cauliflower. The budino is delightfully chocolatey, rich and not too sweet. Staff are friendly and efficient, and it's fun to sit at the bar to see the food get made. The patio is also very cute, especially at night.“

“MN is really stepping up their coffee game and this place may have served me one of the best cortados I've ever had. Cardamom Cortado was amazing, super strong and tastey with the perfect ratio and temp. The guy behind the counter definitely knows what he's doing because I'd come back again for just a cup of coffee here.“

“Myself and four friends were in Minneapolis for a few days on a visit from Ireland and had breakfast here a few times. Food was delicious. Great choice on the menu. Service was brilliant. Staff friendly and efficient.“

“I have went to this place twice and already a favorite. The service is great. You are able to try two flavors I tried the mango strawberry sorbet the first time I went and that was the one . Absolutely loved it . The second time I went which was yesterday I had the ube vanilla and it was also great. You have the choice between a waffle cone or three different size cups which was nice.
I always do a cone. The seating area instead and out is beautiful. The outside though looks like a fairy house lol . Very whimsical. Overall this is a great stop in south Minneapolis. I’m sure I’ll be back soon.“

“A must visit in the north loop! Great beer! Amazing people! The perfect place to visit before a twins game or any day really… Cory, thank you for the hospitality. I look forward to coming back soon!“

“Just brewed a cup (pour over) of your organic Guatemalan and it is so smooth and delicious. Thanks for a great roast!“

“Best ice cream in the Northwest Metro. Lots of unusual flavors. Their coffee ice cream is soooo good. They let you sample any flavor.“

“Really good menu, lovely staff. An excellent place to enjoy coffee and a book there is a fire pit as well“

“Fun! I got a shrimp roll, karage and Miraculum. Yum, yum, yum!“

“I have almost lost my desire for pizza until I had one of your fantastic meat lovers pizza from your St louis Park location. The perfect amount of sauce, cheese,meat. Gadzooks I'm wishing i had one right now! I'm hoping my next one is just as good as my first. Great service and awesome people.“

“When we made a reservation, it said they only had room on the heated patio. We actually got to eat inside though. The patio looked nice. There were TVs, festive decorations, and lots of people. I can't speak to how warm it was, but it looked like it had a firplace too. If we'd had a dog, that would've been amazing. Our server spoke quickly and did everything quickly. The portions were very large. We were so stuffed. We had the Thanksgiving meal and it has potatoes with gravy, corn, Turkey, green bean casserole, roll and butter, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie for $29. A big full plate of food. The restaurant was packed, but not ridiculously loud. They showed football inside as well. I only gave the food 4 stars because it wasn't amazing, but everything was solid and impressive. You could order from the regular menu as well. MSP Mag had a list of places to eat on Thanksgiving and they were the most affordable and the most generous with what they provided. We also got an even better deal because we bought discount gift cards at Costco and were part of the rewards program. Highly recommend!!“

“One of our favorite breweries in the area - there is always a great selection of high quality beer that is strongly influenced by German brewing style, the community events are great, and there is usually a good food truck in the evenings to order at, or food in the area to bring.“

“This place is legit. Fantastic European-style beers (ie. German and Czech in particualr) but they have something for everyone. A very cool space indoors. It was cold when we visited but the outdoor beer garden looks like it would be a very good time. If you're visiting from out of town and staying closer to the city center, I still highly encourage making the trip here if you're a beer lover as it's my favorite of the breweries we visited.“

“awesome food, service and atmosphere. thanks for making our lunch awesome Sara.“

“My girlies & I spent celebrated my 40th birthday with you yesterday (16.03) & it was incredible. I was literally treated like a princess… we were put in a private function room, complimentary Prosecco, 3 x birthday desserts, & we were looked after SO well by Scott. Honestly couldn’t recommend enough, the food / drink / staff, were SO lovely! Thank you so much for making it so special x“

“Such a comfortable place for a brew or two.“

“I love whiteys and the bartender Jazzy is one of my favorite bartenders when I come back home and visit. Being in the industry I love visiting her.“

“The staff were great! I liked the indoor and outdoor seating. This place has some really cool events like cat snuggling and table top game nights. The beer was good and cold. I am not a fan of happy beers and these were too happy for my taste, but they were good beers. Just not my flavor.“

“A great area for dogs of all sizes to run outdoors, attentive staff to manage any pup issues, a great menu, and great drinks! It's a fantastic place to spend an evening with friends and your dogs without worrying about keeping your dog on your heels. There is also an indoor area for rainy or snowy days.“

“Very good food. If you miss deshi food specially Bangladeshi type, feel free to go there. Highly recommend.“

“Great atmosphere and friendly service“

“A taste of Cuba here in Minneapolis. I’m so glad I found this place.“
