The May Day Cafe is a small, crowded, worker-owned cooperative coffee shop in the Powderhorn…read moreneighborhood of south Minneapolis. We arrived mid-morning, and the place was packed with what were clearly repeat customers who call the place "home". It's easy to see why: the service is quick and friendly, the pastries are excellent, and the coffee is exceptionally fresh. There's also a nice selection of teas. If you come hungry, May Day offers breakfast burritos and the tallest quiches I've ever seen. A word of warning: the place is always busy, so don't be surprised if you have to wait for a table. The noise level is high, so be prepared to struggle to hear your tablemate. Overall, May Day is what a neighborhood hangout should be--highly recommended.

I love May Day Cafe. It's not just for one thing though. The vibe is just perfect for this…read moreneighborhood. It's always filled with locals and regulars. The pastries, especially the almond croissant are quite good and reasonably priced. I love their breakfast burritos. And their black bean burrito. It's all good!

This was one of the best banana coffees I've ever had! The chimp in orbit was so good, and it's not…read moreeasy to nail the banana flavor but FRGMNT found the right way to do it! The apple pop tart was nice and fluffy, too! The area is really cool to check out! There's a book store and art shop in the building, which makes for a fun coffee date! My only complaint is minor, but the barista taking out orders seemed very closed off and potentially frustrated that we were there. But maybe they were having a rough day?

FRGMNT is always a vibe but PLEASE get better matcha!! :(…read more I like the fresh, airy, and warm vibe this location brings. And the fact it's in a bookstore makes it feel more artsy. Usually, I hate sitting at a bar, especially when I'm working, but the seats here are ELITE!

Stopped by Muhim's on my way to work this morning to get a warm beverage because it is colder than…read morecold in MPLS right now. Muhim's had a good variety of drink options, without the menu being overly complicated or overwhelming (which cafe menus can easily veer into for me). I got a medium matcha with oat milk. It was truly exactly what I needed. Sweet, but not too sweet. Big for a medium! And so nice and warm! One person working, who was very kind and got my drink out quickly! Cafe itself is so cute with flowers all over the walls and ceilings. They also had pastries that looked very yummy!

The only funny part was I asked for avocado in the wrap and they just gave it on the side instead, which felt a bit random, but it didn't take away from the meal.

We loved the Shakshuka and the open-face sandwich.. both were delicious, fresh, and hit the spot. Service was decent as well, keeping things moving even though they were busy.

First of all, I am a sucker for southern comfort food and fried chicken sandwiches. I have been to…read morethis breakfast spot 3 times and ordered the same item each time because it is that good. The biscuit is perfect, the fried chicken is exceptional, the sausage gravy is divine, the bacon is cooked well (and I'm kind of picky with bacon). Fabulous combo. I really can't speak highly enough of this place. My wife enjoyed the other breakfast sandwich pictured and noting how crowded this place has always been says a lot. The only critical thing you could say is the location is in a small strip mall with limited indoor seating but the ambience is great if you do find a seat. I will continue to go out of my way for this place and recommend giving it a visit.

Take note, the sandwiches are serviced with biscuits, not their bread... which was a bit of a bummer. On a downside, the service was very poor. It could have been a bad day, but the service here was very rude and seemed very annoyed. We accidentally spilled a cup of water, and when we went to the front desk to ask for a towel to clean up they were not very kind.
