Cream cheese hash browns and eggs, would like more privacy less interruption during my outing. There were many interruptions. You can fill water and set the check down without talking for example. Thank you.

We first visited this delightful neighborhood spot while staying at an AirBnb just down the street about 3 years ago, and I was thrilled to find them open again on this trip. No wait and our server was an absolute shining light (I wish my menopause brain could remember our server's name!) who set the tone for an amazing Sunday in Minneapolis. I had the veggie hash with a side of kimchi, plus coffee. Everything was outstanding, especially the fresh veg in the hash -- perfectly seasoned and cooked crisp-tender. The vibe was friendly and casual, just right for the neighborhood. Well done!

August 8th around 8am me and my son went for breakfast. We were getting windows installed, so it was a mess. My son is a very picky eater. He absolutely devoured the food! When we walked in, We were greeted and seated right away. It was nice, quiet food came out fast. The service was very prompt.Didn't wait long for anything. I'll be coming back five stars!! Keep up the amazing job!

I loved the patio. Surrounded by plants, covered from the sun, quiet. Food good, several vegetarian options. Pleasant experience.

A small café tucked away on a side street offered surprisingly creative desserts that were both visually appealing and delicious.

Yay! This adorable Diner is open and the last time I was there was during their soft opening. I had an absolutely delicious potato hash with tofu and the service was excellent and I am so happy that they reopened and I would love to return next time I am in Minneapolis I love supporting indy businesses like this, and it was absolutely outstanding A+.

Neighborhood was excited to have this re-open (ok, Reddit was excited). Went with 2 kiddos noon. Service was really bad, not just for me but for others. I believe they're still working kinks out. Still, service was bad enough that we took a long walk after to shift our energy. Waiter did not seem interested in waiting on our table in particular. We had to ask for every condiment (water, salt and pepper, cream and sugar, syrup). Our waters never got refilled. Long waits between everything. Etc., etc. It wasn't just our table, as we saw others in the wait game. Just poor service all around. Food was fine.

I sincerely wish them the best in working things out and hope they stay around. The other customers all seemed very lovely and it was a really sweet mix of people dining. Maybe it's just not the place for me/my family? We won't be back for a while. My teen never - service was, again, REALLY weird/bad.

We went for brunch and the food was delicious, particularly the Tex Mex Bowl. The pickled onions made the dish. The patio is nicely shaded and comfortable. I appreciate that they grow their vegetables onsite and emphasize organic. They serve lattes and cocktails as well. It was a great experience including good service.
