Brim is such a cute little coffee shop! After taking a walk around Lake Calhoun, my boyfriend and I stopped in for lattes. I ordered the Banana Bread Latte, and it was really good! We didn't end up trying any of the food since it was a little pricier than we were looking for, but everything looked delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was great, and the small patio looked like the perfect spot to sit and enjoy a coffee on a nice day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd definitely stop back the next time we're in the area! read more

The honey lavender latte tasted delicious BUT I could have done without the pieces of lavender in the drink. I like getting their Yukon Hash and subbing the bacon for beef. That beef is inconsistent but today it was on the tender side. Loved the vibey magazines available. And service was friendly as per usual! read more

I had a wonderful silly scuttle over. I waited for a bus that wouldn't show up, and decided to make the day magical. This spot was just what I needed to cheer me up! I ordered a banana bread matcha, as recommended by the barista. They also had some trinkets and goodies, and I picked up a happiness in a bottle tincture. Very excited to give it a try! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will be stopping back here, this is a perfect little spot on the lake![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food looked great, so I will be returning with the girls. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cutesy vibe, located at the uptown entrance corner of Lagoon Ave, with a glimpse of Bde Maka Ska staring back at you. The interior sets good expectations of bright and fun, matching the energy of its location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When it comes to food, if you're ever unsure what to pick, just throw a dart at the rice bowl options blindfolded and go with where it lands, since I have yet to try a bad one. I went with the Umami Rice Bowl this time, which was packed with fresh, intricate, organic ingredients that absolutely erupt with flavor. The staff are also incredibly friendly and sweet. One star off for the overall pricing.. it's a bit steep in my opinion. That said, you're paying for organic sourcing, so it's not unexpected. Five stars for the food alone. read more

I went to Brim for one lunch for one of my friend's birthdays! It is located near Bde Maka Ska, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]they have a patio area which I'm sure would be nice in the summer after a day at the lake![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have plenty of indoor seating, which is what we did.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and everything is gluten free! The staff is knowledgeable about the ingredients in the food. I had the umami rice bowl (which is vegetarian). It had a nice blend of textures, from the crunch of the broccoli, to the chew of miso mushroom and the runny yolk in the poached egg. Red chili oil is one of the components of the bowl, but it is very mild. The dish overall felt very fresh and light. It's a nice lunch spot for a nutritious, whole-foods option! read more

some delicious & nutritious bites and sips from brim! [[HIGHLIGHT]]hadn't stopped here for a few years and can see why it's withstood tougher times in the area. a great and peaceful spot to sit in or outside and eat something you won't feel as guilty about later[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] a quick recap: seared salmon & dill // SO good, hearty and filling. the dill sauce is and I love anything pickled. a unique blend of flavors and an item you wont find from many places. (pretty certain) berry lagoon smoothie // also GF & filled with yummy ingredients. needed my fruit fix that I'm always lacking. BLT // made with gluten free bread but you'd never taste the difference. read more

The food was absolutely scrumptious. I didn't fully realize that EVERYTHING was gluten free until I read the menu when I got there. The staff were kind and swift and [[HIGHLIGHT]]there was both indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the patio and ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking wasn't too bad on a weekday lunch. The counter service/table service combo was very confusing. I was asked what table I'm sitting at when I went to order. So I kind just looked outside and said- the one on the corner? The tables outside had numbers. It seems you're supposed to grab a number then take it inside to let the person taking your order know where to drop off the food. I had the mushroom toast. Pretty tasty! Much rooms were perfectly done. A little too much cumin for my taste though. Lastly- it was not clear at all if you're supposed bus your own tables? One table of two awkwardly carried in their beer glass, empty can, wine glass, along with the carafe of water and glasses, plus their bowls, and plates, and their cholua. Is this really the expectation?! read more

Visited 11/9/24. Probably like a 3.5/5 rating but rounded up. Visited with a large group of family (made a reservation using Google assistant calling for me which was kind of strange but worked out for us). The place itself is cute although slightly harder to access depending on where you're coming from. Parking may take a bit of time to because at times there can be limited spots. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place itself was super cute and people who worked there were very kind and accommodating of our group's needs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the lemongrass curry and added chicken. The curry itself was like a 3/5 or so-decent flavor but coconut milk flavor was slightly overwhelming and the chicken was in rather large chunks which put me off it a bit. BUT I do have to say that this place for my cousin who is gluten free and dairy free was a godsend and that she was visibly excited at being able to have so many options to pick from on the menu. The mission and execution of this place is so important and cool and I love that they are bringing tasty gluten free food and making it accessible for all. Major props read more

Brim - Lemongrass curry add chicken- a little heavy on coconut milk taste but decent - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I love the original location-but I'm sad to say the new Edina location is a disaster. We waited 30+ minutes for our coffee order and watched table after table of food get delivered around us. After 30 minutes the person came up to our table said they were out of the syrup I ordered in my latte. This means they didn't start our order for 30 minutes after we ordered?? How?? They were nice and comped the whole order. Unfortunately they didn't get my coffee right, either-it was too sweet and was missing the extra shot I requested. I know it's a new location and they're maybe working out the kinks-but goodness gracious. I won't be back. read more

Felt super excited to check out Brim with my sister who is GF. Went on a Sunday morning around 9:15am and there were already a few folks inside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]At first glance, the location and ambiance is everything I enjoy. It was bright, clean, and a gorgeous space![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order at the counter and can take a seat inside or outside. I ordered a miel (this was the most delicious thing I had, I'd get this again) and a breakfast sandwich. We also ordered the pesto chicken and the pulled beef. I've heard such wonderful things about Brim, so I couldn't wait to dig in. I feel sad to say but the food was just about inedible. The slaw should be removed immediately. It is truly awful. The sandwiches were below mediocre. I understand it is difficult to make focaccia GF but the texture was way off, it lacked flavor, and really missed the mark. I would be willing to try a few other things on the menu, but the sandwiches and slaw are a hard pass for me. read more

I was so excited to eat their food while visiting Minneapolis! I am gluten free and cannot have most dairy or high food map and it was lovely to find somewhere I could easily figure out what to order since they so thoughtfuly have all the ingredients listed!

Great gluten free options. Their drinks are tasty. Staff is always really friendly and helpful with recommendations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small outside patio is great when it's a nice day but the tables are really only big enough for two people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant, as the service was the most inefficient and poor I have experienced. We arrived during lunch hours and admittedly it was busy. After 15 minutes, however, our position in line did not move at all. We then decided to order online instead, and simply come back when the order was ready as we lived only 5 - 10 minutes away. I returned later after receiving notification that our order was ready. There was no signage for pickup orders but I found that there were at least 10 of us congregating around the checkout all of us with online orders already paid simply waiting for pickup. No one was helping us or even making eye contact. Several times I enquired but was told I just had to wait. I ended up having to wait over 30 minutes just to pick up an order that was ready despite the fact that it turned out the order was sitting in the refrigerator less than 5 feet where I was standing. I will not return here again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside reminds me of a very cute simple coffee shop. Small table seating and some outside facing lake Calhoun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What's even better is they have an excellent, full menu of healthy organic choices. Oh even better, locally sourced ingredients! With that the prices are higher than some other places. A smoothie is about the same price as a meal but they have some pretty awesome smoothies. The lemongrass curry bowl was the perfect amount and very fresh. It was lacking in flavor though and missed that umph I was hoping for. [[HIGHLIGHT]]An overall cute place for a quick bite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Cute, neat, restaurant. I had the matcha tea and the Linda's Bowl which was a very generous size. The Salmon was way too salty but I did not bother to say anything to the staff. The other items like the beets, cauliflower, broccoli, local greens, and roasted sweet potatoes were fresh. The wild rice was a little too grainy and felt like it could have been cooked a little more to soften the grains. Overall, I thought the staff was nice and the smell of the food was enticing specifically the steamed rice. It just fell short of the taste factor. read more

Brim - The Linda's Bowl - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Brim has become a staple for mother daughter lunch/ dinner dates. I typically get the same thing, but this time nothing was seasoned. I had to add lots of salt and pepper. Thankfully my salmon was fresh and hot. I'll come back with an updated review when a different cook is in! read more

Brim - GOLDEN CAULIFLOWER hummus, turmeric roasted cauliflower, local organic greens, garbanzo beans, cilantro herb sauce (gf/v) Side of salmon. - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Yummy coffee, bone broth soup, sandwiches and cookies right across from Lake Bde Maka Ska. Friendly staff.

A restaurant that is entirely gluten-free! What?! Oh, yeah! :) Plus some nice vegetarian options, and they are organic as much as possible. So, I like bowls (rice/grain bowls - that is their main focus) and soup just fine, but sandwiches on gluten-free focaccia bread that is made in-house? Sign me up!!! So, I ordered the Veggie Sandwich (with avocado, beets, hummus and pesto), and it did not disappoint! The focaccia was light and flavorful, and it didn't fall apart too much like many gluten free breads do. The flavors all worked well together, too. I got a side salad as well, and it was a nice simple salad with good greens. My husband got a side of sweet potatoes with his sandwich - they're roasted and good, but more food than we needed. We could have done with just a sandwich each and splitting one side. So, here you order at the counter and seat yourself, then they bring you your food. That seems to be the way a lot of places are going, even for more upscale-type restaurants. It's a small restaurant with only a few tables inside, and a few more outside, although the floor to ceiling glass doors were opened, so it all blended together, which was nice. We sat outside and enjoyed the sunset over the lake. read more

Came here with my friends for a quick midday lunch. The seating area was cute. You ordered up at the counter and the. They brought your food to you - both indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the Linda's bowl. I got a small and while it was a decent amount of food, the bike they served it in was difficult to eat out of. Wish it would have been wider. The sweet potatoes were cooked very well. The rice was okay, and the salmon was delicious. The dressing felt kind of watery and didn't have that much flavor, would have preferred something thicker. 3/5 stars because decent overall but $22 after tax for my bowl was pretty pricey given the portion size and quality. If you check in at brunch time, you do get a free coffee though so check that out! read more

My first ever review, but necessary. This place was terrible. Had the "Franks Chicken" sandwich. It was so greasy both halves fell apart in my hands with grease dripping off my fingers. The taste was OK, but nothing special. It was way overpriced at greater than $50 (not including tip) for two (small) sandwich plates. I think we were paying for "ambiance." [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were bothered by fly's, but didn't think much of it until we went to clean our table and discovered why there were fly's.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The trays were more than overloaded with dirty dishes, (had trouble putting ours in) and the trash can was literally overflowing...had to take a bunch of napkins to cover and force trash down into the container so I could put ours in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was not particularly busy, so why this condition existed is unknown.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will not return. read more

Cute aesthetic, hearty meals, and organic ingredients, (AND don't forget coffee!!) - that's all I could ask for!! I was only here for a short time to eat but Brim was definitely a cute place for brunch! I got the Large Kimchi Beef Bowl and it was so hearty and yummy. I didn't expect Brim to have Asian options, and I love that they do! My friends got more breakfast selections, and their meals looked amazing! Whenever I visit Minneapolis, I hope I have the chance to visit Brim again :) read more

Brim - Large Kimchi Beef Bowl - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

4 stars for flavorful, beautiful food and being 1 of only a few restaurants I can find menu items to eat in the Twin Cities. Food intolerance friendly! Everyone in our party enjoyed their food. And it all looked SO fresh and unprocessed. Healthy options. I'm sure the location is great during the summer, and then the patio can also be utilized. Cute inside. Downsides: -paper menus not up-to-date. Thankfully I extensively studied the online menu and called in advance, so I double-checked that an ingredient I needed removed was usually included, despite what physical menu said. Important to keep updated when catering to food sensitivities! -the service wasn't friendly. They weren't rude but uninterested/disengaged the day I went. -prices are high. Worth it for options. Also a note: they don't accept the Yelp coupon for free coffee with brunch purchase. States they never even created it and don't know where it came from. I hope the restaurant has done due diligence to reach out to Yelp and fix that. Could some of those negatives result in less that 4 stars? Yes. But it's also a rare gem for those who can't eat out most places, and the deliciousness/creativity of the food is a big deal. And they are issues that are redeemable. read more

I have only tried Brim at the MN State Fair. I was excited to finally visit their location in Minneapolis, MN. They do not have a parking lot. You can do paid parking on Lake St or find a free spot on one of the side streets. This is on the corner of Lake and Knox. It was a bit of a rainy morning, but they were still able to have their doors open which let in a nice breeze. The vibe is really bright and cute inside. The menu is focused on local, organic, & even plant-based items. For some reason I expected them to have a larger coffee menu. They only had a few things listed or ordered. They also have smoothies, alcoholic beverages, and tea/kombucha. I ordered the Turmeric Ginger Latte - this was definitely good, but there was more foam than drink when It came down to it. I tried my friend's Iced Dirty Chai and that was FANTASTIC! Boujee Benedict - The menu states runny poached eggs, searched salmon, dill cashew cream sauce on focaccia. 1st the poached egg yolks were cooked all the way through- and one of the whites was runny. The salmon was delish, I loved the dill cashew cream sauce as well. I would definitely try this again and just ask them to make sure the poached eggs have that runny yolk because I do love a good runny yolk. The focaccia was awesome and so soft/flaky. I would like to come back during lunch time and try a different menu item for sure. Many things sound good. read more

This is a great location next to the lake, high quality gluten free food plus wine options. The prices are high however, for example two smoothies and two donuts came to $36.00. The donut wasn't dry and had great flavor. I still like Sift best for GF baked goods at lower prices. read more
