I wanted an easy breakfast to pickup on a snoozy Friday morning and Alma Provisions really delivered past my expectations. It's a small shop right next to brasa, and it's a really great vibe outside and inside. It was a warm space where they also sold retail kitchen items. They looked a bit pricey but made for good eye candy. They also have premade house Giardiniera, pimento cheese and ricotta with honey. It was good service as well, came right out wrapped and ready to roll. When I got home I heated up the pastry and the feast was on. I opted for the corner store sandwich which was a classic egg cheese bacon sandwich but it was anything but your typical sandwich. The thick cut bacon had really been cooked down and the layers just went together so well. The bun was buttered and a little flaky which helped it all. The cinnamon roll was unreal. It had such a nice flaky texture that was still soft and chewy. Cinnamon rolls often rely too heavy on the icing but on this cinnamon roll it was the perfect ratio. The last pastry I didnt get the name of, it looked to be a seasonal danish with sweet potato, pecans, and cinnamon. Not a combination im super used to seeing and it was wonderful. Definition of sweet not too sweet. Really enjoyed this spot and it's definitely an awesome place for easy breakfast eats!! read more

Biscuit was impeccably layered, buttery and flaky, egg texture rich and custardy, coffee delicious, just missing some sort of jam or spread on the sandwich, leaving it a bit dry. Bright and sunny in the small space, would certainly come back for a quick bite! read more

Alma Provisions - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Alma Provisions has firmly planted itself in my rotation of places to get a solid breakfast sandwich. As others have noted, the location is attached to its sister restaurant Brasa and is geared for those looking to grab a coffee/sandwich while on the move. That said, you can grab a seat inside of Brasa if you're not looking to nosh on the run. The Up South (pimento cheese, peppers and egg on a biscuit) has become my go-to thus far, but I've been happy with everything I have tried thus far and still have a couple of other items on the to-try list. The sammies aren't exactly cheap, but they're certainly not low-brow eats and tipping isn't expected. read more

They have an interesting setup with Brasa next door. More clear signs for the system would be great because we weren't sure if the seating was combined or how it worked. I tried the Up South egg sandwich, which was really good. I don't normally like pimento cheese, but the flavors were amazing together. The lavender latte sadly didn't have any flavor and I wouldn't get coffee there again. The annoyed vibes from the staff that day were a little off putting and they forgot half our order for the group. read more

Small stop cafe to try some pastries and coffee Disappointed with the service- they weren't really paying attention to anyone there Forgot my mocha and the drip coffee tasted bad as they only had light roast available The danishes were just average- also expensive for the quality Breakfast sandwiches were pretty good though so saving grace read more

Maybe it's because I got it to go, but this was disappointing, especially since Alma restaurant is so delicious. The mushroom egg frittata was very pretty to look at, but it was totally off. Very greasy, flavorless, and (maybe because I got an edge piece) really dry. There was very little egg, mostly greasy bread. The tomato sauce that it came with did brighten the flavor a lot. Same with the potatoes. They look like they'll be delicious, but also greasy and flavorless. They became more and more oily as it cooled down, so it's possible these items would taste fine if eating it there. But it does not work for takeout. read more

This place should be so much better. The staff is not very friendly, the restaurant feels dirty and they are out of menu item regularly. It's a very different experience from the other location. It's a missed opportunity in this neighborhood. read more

Ok - It feels wild to be doing a third review update, but the Mpls St. Paul Magazine released their top sandwiches, which included Alma Provision's Breakfast Sandwich. I went and got one and WOW. I'm fighting the urge to go get another a couple of days later and I think I'm going to lose that battle. PSA: They recommend "the breakfast sandwich," but AP actually has multiple types. I'm pretty sure by the description provided they meant the Up South breakfast sandwich. The biscuit still has the baking soda/powdery flavor a little bit but the pimento cheese and sweet peppers tasted so good that I didn't mind much. I'd give this sandwich, paired with their dirty chai, five stars, but the cafe as a whole is still probably 4-4.5 stars. read more

Adorable little cafe and bakery just east of Lake Harriet. With a small ordering space, a few tables that they share with Brasa next door, and an assortment of pantry and home good items, Alma Provisions is the perfect place to grab coffee and a treat. I read about their egg sandwich with pimento cheese and went to check it out the next weekend. Called the Up South, this delightful breakfast sandwich consists of fluffy, scrambled eggs, creamy, cheddar-y pimento cheese, and sautéed sweet peppers and onions that get smushed between a fresh buttermilk biscuit. Really tasty! They have other food items refrigerated by the counter, but I would suggest ordering something that is made fresh. Cute stop in Southwest Mpls! read more

Caleb and the staff at Alma Provisions consistently provide a genuine and authentic guest experience. It is one of our family's favorite go to spots for a quick breakfast sandwich, pastry or coffee beverage. Their GF pastries are delicious for those who eat gluten free and they offer a GF bun for their breakfast sandwiches. Thank you for being a part of the Kingfield Community! read more

Kind of a weird place. Their matcha is unsweetened and not particularly flavorful and served in a paper cup even when you order for "here." The breakfast sandwiches are tasty but messy and overpriced. You have to wait for your name to be shouted--they will not bring it to your table. I feel like this is a place for people with too much money to spend and bad taste. It doesn't encompass the Minnesota experience of hospitality and lack of pretension. There are far better places for breakfast, and for coffee. read more

Great new addition to the neighborhood! Coffee, pastries, and homemade bath products that originated from Hotel Alma. Beautiful space, delicious coffee, and friendly staff. Perfect for a pre or post walk around the lake coffee and snack. It looks like they also have some really unique breakfast and deli sandwiches. Can't wait to try everything on their menu! read more

Oh my gosh what a cute little place! Stopped by on my walk and got a latte and scone. The scone was probably one of the best scones I've ever had. It was so moist and flavorful, which typically isn't the case with scones... The service was also really fast and kind. The inside is really small but they do let you go sit in Brasa next door, so that's a nice addition. Overall a super cute spot!! read more

Great food coupled with some of the worst service out of any Minneapolis restaurant. To add to it, they add a 20% mandatory tip. Don't go during peak hours unless you want to wait a half hour to get your drink. read more

Umm finally. An espresso that's truly amazing. It's rare to find. Thank you. GF options for baked goods are also delicious, delicate, and not over-sweet or thick. Thank you!!!! read more

The service was amazing along with the atmosphere! The Egg-Sandwiches were so I will defiantly be returning!! 10/10 Cafè!

I've been to Alma provisions a handful of times. I knew it was a special place as soon as I walked in. I've intentionally gone to find little gifts for friends and each time left with a little bags of goodies. Whether you're looking for candles, chocolate or seasonings you will not be disappointed. To make it even better there have been new items each time. Thank you for the variety, the service and a great cup of coffee. read more

Love this place. Great place to get coffee and a little something. The help is friendly and knowledgeable. Go there often when in town.

I desperately wanted to love Alma Provisions and give it five stars. I love all things Alex Roberts but I'm sorry to say that Alma Provisions has been a miss for me. Not opening until 8 is a bummer for a coffee shop. I live in the neighborhood and when they started building, I was so excited! It looked like it would be a coffee window you walked up to, which is so great if you're out walking a dog! Unfortunately, it's not a window you walk up to. It's the window you have to stand outside of, waiting for your coffee or food you ordered INSIDE. There is not any seating indoors. In the fall, waiting outside for a breakfast sandwich was ok. In the winter, to say that it sucks to stand there is an understatement. I will say, the coffee and breakfast sandwiches and pastries are great. The lunch food I would probably not get again, which is too bad because there aren't a lot of weekday lunch spots in the immediate neighborhood. I have only ordered a sandwich here one time and you get it out of a deli case. I was SO disappointed when I got home with my turkey and cheddar to find that the entire bottom of the sandwich was completely soggy from the herb vinaigrette that's on it. Herb vinaigrette would be a terrific addition to a sandwich that was just made, but in a sandwich that's been sitting in a plastic box in a deli case all day, it creates a soggy (but still pretty delicious) mess. read more

I expected a bit more from this place with the name Alma so I did go in with high expectations. I ordered the turkey sandwich (because they were out of the beet one). I noticed that there were some sandwiches wrapped up in the refrigerated case but I'm not at a gas station I'm at a high end cafe and expected that they would be made fresh. After waiting a bit we were notified that we can take a sandwich from the case. This was disappointing but I was still open minded. Unwrapping the wrapper revealed a soggy, cold sandwich, yuck...and for $13+tax and tip. The sandwich tasted worse than something I would whip up quick at home. The cheese was shredded cheddar - the size and consistency of something on a salad bar - just weird - like a school lunch. I am just so surprised and can't believe this is acceptable to people. We did end up going to Clancy's after to get a real sandwich and boy they do not disappoint! read more
