Full of wonderful people, music, and food. Seward Cafe is one of the most punk places in Minneapolis and a must visit if you enjoy good vegetarian/vegan food and local music.
nice brunch menu full of vegan options, could make most dishes vegan with request.

I hadn’t been into Seward Cafe properly since maybe 2017 or before which is wild and tbh upsetting - we did a supply run in 2020 and brought things by but it wasn’t running like “normal” then obviously - they’ve since reopened and are open 8am - 4pm Thursday - Sunday (closed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday now), they also have music shows fairly often now which is cool!!! The place is pretty much exactly the same as ever, made me kind of emotional even...read full review

Located on Franklin just off the highway, Seward Cafe is a well-known eatery that offers good food at a great value. The cafe has a punk atmosphere that some may not appreciate, but it is a beloved institution in the community. It is community neighborhood-oriented and respected, leaving a memorable impression on visitors. The interior is colorful and retro, avoiding bland minimalism, and the atmosphere is laid-back and progressive. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and free Wi-Fi is available, making it a comfortable spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The menu features a variety of options, with 27 items that are either vegan or can be made vegan upon request, all clearly labeled. Standout items include the Super Red Earth breakfast dish and the biscuits and gravy, which includes hash browns that are particularly good. The cafe also offers a variety of espresso drinks and herbal tea blends. Visitors can enjoy a cookie and chips or sip on their favorite herbal tea. Service can be gruff, and food may occasionally take a little longer, but this is a place to enjoy the moment rather than rush. The atmosphere includes some punk rock music with feedback sounds that could be loud for sensitive ears, and the decor features lot of ACAB symbols, reflecting the cafe’s openly expressed politics. With a laid-back vibe and a strong community presence, Seward Cafe is a great place to visit for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, and it has a beautiful patio area.
