    Their coffee is some of the best I've had in Minneapolis! Breakfast is a little pricey here but the ricotta toast was delicious. Also had their breakfast sandwiches which are good but overpriced for their small size.

    Alma is such a cute restaurant for a brunch on a weekend breakfast on a weekday a nice coffee or a very fancy dinner at night. Their brunch and breakfast menu is full of sandwiches, bakery items and weekend specials. They also have a variety of coffees available as well. Their evening restaurant has a set menu which rotates Alma also features a hotel above the restaurant making it a common destination for wedding groups. We enjoyed their breakfast sandwiches, which were absolutely delicious. Packing lots of flavor and such a small sandwich. The inside of the restaurant is absolutely adorable and there is a lot of seating inside, some seating outside on nice days. Would highly recommend this spot, especially due to its location right near the Stonearch Bridge and Northeast Minneapolis. The service is very friendly and quick, but you do have to bust your own table and clean up after yourself. Highly recommend!

    Alma is such a great coffee and brunch spot!! They make their own syrups which is one of the main things I look for when I'm going to get a coffee (no monin syrups in here!) They also have really good matcha. I tried their biscuits and gravy brunch special and it was really savory, flavorful and a good ratio of biscuits, meat and gravy. For only $12 I thought it was a great deal! There's plenty of seating inside and I love the decor. Everyone working there has always been friendly and kind. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area!

    Alma is one of the best places to have dinner in Minneapolis. A smaller restaurant set in a retro / historic building, serving a 3 course meal of amazing food? Sign me up! Service is included in the price but still maintains high standards and personality. Good wine selection. I wish more of my meals were here.

    Every year we venture to Minnesota to visit family. Alma is our definitive destination. Never, in all my decades ( 6+) have I encountered a place that works so hard to ensure your comfort, pleasure and sense of belonging. If only I could rate Alma 10 stars, I would. Truly. The food is Delicious, beautifully presented, so thoughtfully curated. You are never rushed, it is all about the complete experience - ambience, service, cuisine, friendship, meaning.... As always and forever, thank you Alma, for an exquisitely perfect evening, as always.

    This is a review specifically for the breakfast cafe. I was expecting to be critical after a super long wait from an online order past the estimated 20 mins but oh my God, the food overrode that completely. This is one of the best breakfast spots in the Twin Cities and rivals my love of Sun Street Breads. Corner Store - breakfast sandwich - 10/10 The bacon is thick cut and crispy, melty American cheese, toasted roll that tasted like brioche. Croissant - 10/10 This has got to be top 2 or 3 croissants I've ever had in Minneapolis. Crispy, flaky, buttery perfection. My wife and I make a habit of trying every little bakery and this is elite. Like early Bellecour days. Chocolate chip cookie - 9/10 Really good, chewy, good ratio of chocolate. Crazy busy because it's a weekend, I got it to go so I can't comment much on the ambience but it's a cute spot. They could probably triple their seating and still fill up. Price - 10/10 For the quality, I'm very impressed. UPDATE: returned the following day and we got the Up South sandwich as well. 10/10. Incredible biscuit, I don't usually like pimento cheese but it rivaled the Corner Store sandwich.

    We have been to Alma 3x now and it never disappoints Great food that rotates seasonally. The staff know the menu well and are so attentive. We go here for special occasion dinners and it's perfect because of the chill vibe. You get a ton of delicious food and the menu is very unique. It's a special occasion dining spot without being pretentious. Parking can be hard, there are limited spots by the building otherwise it is street parking.

    I went here for a cappuccino the other day and it was great! The coffee was high quality and the service was friendly. The reason I am giving this 4 stars is because the price was high, especially for 8 oz of liquid. There are no size options for that particular drink. The cafe is cute and I look forward to coming back for a meal.

    Torta Sorta, Sunshine Helps
    Rebecca W.

    Delicious! We got torta sorta and the sunshine helps sandwiches. Also, the goldy's spiced latte (seasonal special) was super tasty!! Kind staff and cute space. Recommend going for a walk on the river afterward!

    This place is da bomb! Near the U of M, and attached to a hotel, this cafe is a delight. The vibe was perfect and as I watched the staff work while I waited for my order, they were the definition of efficiency. And the food! 5/5 on all items: steel cut oatmeal with brown sugar, apples, and pumpkin seeds / Ham Jam sandwich with onion jam and a touch of maple syrup, and rosemary smashed potatoes / pumpkin spice latte. I'm from across the river, but this cafe is worth the trip downtown! Note: I had to procure street parking, and was able to do so 1 block away.

    Brown Butter Caramel Tarte

    This is probably closer to a 3.5-star review as it wasn't quite a true 4, but was a bit better than a 3-star. Alma was a place that I had wanted to try for a very long time, and while some things hit the mark, the full experience left a bit to be desired. First off, service began a bit slow. Was probably a good 6-8 minutes once seated before anyone came with water or to even greet us. That wouldn't be a huge deal at a lesser establishment, but a high level of service should be a staple here. Luckily, it did pick up and improve from that point. The atmosphere was as advertised. Very chic, dim, and romantic. A bit cozy between tables, but all in all a solid environment to dine in. For food, there was a mix of outcomes. First up was a few little snack-type items including some cheese, breads, nuts, and olives. Nice little mix of small items. Next up was the Poached Pear & Endive Salad - a very unique, crispy, and enjoyable dish. The Duck Liver Pate was a bit overpowering, but a nice contrast in flavor to the other first plate. Following this were the pasta dishes, which were quite solid. The Meyer Lemon Orzo Pasta was fresh, the Alma Rigatoni was rich. The rigatoni was definitely one of the standouts of the evening and a borderline 5-star dish. For the main entree, the leg of lamb was good, but the accompaniments were a tad underwhelming. The meat was cooked well, was tender and flavorful. Overall, the dish was just maybe a hair above average. The second standout behind the rigatoni was the dessert, a Brown Butter Caramel Tarte. It was one of the best desserts I've had in quite some time! The sum of the parts left things in pretty good standout, but only 2 of the dishes really stood out for the level of venue that Alma falls within. The rest being closer to average or thereabouts left this experience a bit below expectation, but certainly not a terrible one by any stretch.

    Went to Alma Cafe on a Saturday afternoon and found a cozy spot to enjoy a delicious latte and lunch. The place is so pretty and has such good ambiance. I ordered a rosemary maple latte (wow -- super yummy!) The Ham & Gruyère melt with crispy potatoes is by far some of the best things I've eaten in a long time. The potatoes were perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, with the right amount of saltiness. I've thought about how delicious tastes since I last had it. The service was great and super helpful when picking what to order. I'm thoroughly looking forward to going back!

    Had an anniversary dinner here and it was fantastic. We tried the 6-course tasting menu with the wine pairings, and it was unbelievably decadent. All the wine pairings were spot on and we got to try both domestic and foreign varieties. This is easily one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The place is classy, but not too pretentious. The staff and service were great. Everyone was so nice and thoughtful. I would love to come back if I'm ever in MN again

It was a Saturday and no one was in the office and the owners are not listed on the website, plus NO phone number on the website. Finally I saw a worker loading a van and told him and he responded immediately texting the owner. They were full that night and couldn't put me in another room and offered to find a local hotel (which later they reneged on); the worker said they did call for inspection and said repeatedly they would reimburse my stay for the inconvenience. It was annoying not to have any communication with the owner and only when I got home on Sunday did they email to say there was nothing (who knows if that is true) and no mention of a refund. Very disappointed.

The staff were extremely nice and accommodating. I had help bringing my bags upstairs to our room, they walked us through everything and offered help any time we needed it. We reserved the haunted movie lounge, which was a very unique experience. The hot tub was excellent and very peaceful. It rained while we were in the hot tub but it was covered very well and only elevated the experience! The koi pond is so beautiful and relaxing, and we loved enjoying the entire property. Highly recommend staying here! Also, don't forget to book a trolly tour! Such a unique experience, and the tour guide has such a fun personality it was incredible!! 10/10 Would stay again and again!

A clean listing will always look its best, and it will show your commitment to making your guests feel welcome. To make your listing shine, start with these steps before each guest's arrival: Clean every room that your guests can access during their stay and pay special attention to the bathroom and kitchen. If you provide towels and sheets, make sure they are freshly-washed. Take care of the small things that show extra consideration: dust the bookshelves, wipe the mirrors, and empty the wastebasket.

If you can't do the cleaning, you can always add a cleaning fee to your listing price and hire a professional cleaning service.

I got the traditional breakfast option of 2 eggs, hash, sausage and toast, but was also tempted by the french toast. The food was good, but not very plentiful. If I had ordered the french toast, I would definitely have been hungry. As it was, I could have eaten more even of the traditional breakfast. We were scheduled for 2 hours, but it took much longer. I had to leave before desert was even served. We were not the only people in the restaurant, but I think the portions could have been bigger, and the food could have come out faster.
