Everything I had here was amazing but my fav was the egg sandwich with bacon and a side of hash browns. I loved that this place is so communal and a safe place for everyone! I highly recommend and can't wait to go again.

We arrived about 15 minutes before opening and were able to get a good spot in line. I figured it…read morewould be busy because every time we've driven by, there's always a line , if you know, you know! Ordering was quick, the cashier was friendly, and the deli has a comfortable atmosphere. We waited about 5-10 minutes for our sandwiches. I ordered the egg and cheese with a hash brown, and I really enjoyed it. I'd definitely order it again. I also tried the dark chocolate sea salt cookie, which was delicious. The space had more seating than I expected, which was a nice surprise. However, it does get pretty cramped once it fills, which happens fast. If we visit again, we'd probably take our food to go. I also appreciated the free street parking on weekends. Overall, a great experience, and I can see why there's always a line!

I'm kicking myself for not knowing this place existed sooner! It's definitely tucked away. You…read morecan't really see it from the street. But the place is huge! We made a reservation, but didn't really end up needing it. You order your drinks at the bar and you can order your food off of a QR code at the table. The menu had a lot of really good barbecue options. I split a meat platter and some ribs with my family. My favorites were the ribs and the brisket. They also have pretty decent beer, menu, and cocktail options! I had their house, old-fashioned, and it was delicious! It looked like they had a ton of different events throughout the week as well. As we were leaving, there was a Bachata night starting. I'll be back for sure!

Well what the heck! I can't believe I've walked by this adorable store so many times without…read morestopping in, or honestly even knowing it was there. Curiosity is across the street from Young Joni and Dangerous Man, and it is a lovely little place! When we entered, we were greeted by an employee. Not even just greeted; he also struck up friendly conversation. Nice! Literally! The store is small but mighty, boasting very eye-pleasing house wares, gifts, decor, and more. I was mostly interested in and impressed with their plant holders/pots, local and mindful infant toys, care packages for new mothers, dinnerware, wall decor, and other pretty little things made by local artists. I thought the prices were very reasonably considering the items were mindfully curated and mostly locally sourced. I really look forward to coming back and shopping here once we get settled in our new home. The friendly employee (or maybe owner??) said that they rotate their inventory often. He also said that they don't have a ton of local clout (hence me neglecting them this whole time), so stop in and tell them you saw them on Yelp!

Sarah Jane's offers a great selection of donuts, bars, cookies, danishes, among other options. Their donuts are delicious and my favorite thing in the case is their toffee bars.

Call ahead and ask them to place what you want to the side for pickup if you can't beat the rush on a Saturday AM - you'll still have to wait in line to let them know you have a pickup but at least you're guaranteed your favs! I noticed on a cold winter day, it's slower and no need to call ahead. No space to sit, grab your goodies and get going! The cardamom danish: nothing special but not bad. Wouldn't order again but it was just a random extra we added to our order! Tip: follow them on insta to see their special pastries and fun flavors in rotation- they don't last long!

Was attending Twin Cities Pride over in Loring Park and was in desperate need of caffeine (we woke…read moreup at 6AM to attend the Rainbow Run 5K). This place was practically across the street, so we decided to take a breather from the hectic festivites and come here. Immediately we were greeted with cooling A/C and much-needed silence. Cool and quiet... the perfect escape. The place was decked out for pride with lots of colorful flags representing many of the wonderful ways to be queer. Definitely get bonus points for their allyship. I got a bottled Coca-Cola and my hubbie got a simple cup of brewed coffee. They had a reasonably-sized menu with even some smoothies and such listed, as well as a display of bakery items. A chalkboard showed their three seasonal beverages, which looked fun (though not my cup of tea). One of the employees was very helpful when I requested a cup of ice to go with my Coke; I needed the extra cool down after all the time we'd spent in the sun in the heat! We sat at one of the tables and appreciated leaning back into the chairs with back support for several minutes. Whew! Perked us back up nicely. There isn't a ton of space/lots of places to sit and I was kind of shocked the place wasn't flooded with queers, lol. There was quite the line for the bathroom though, according to my husband. The decor is nice and neat. I think I spotted a small selection of board games you could break out if desired too, which is fun.

I believe graduates of that program also work here as young adults. The alley walking up to it is so cute. I love historic Mpls! The coffee shop is small but fun, and there's a nice cozy seating area outside I'd come back for. The coffee was good (though not in my top 10), with some unique flavors. I got the breve capp and it did taste a bit scorched. My daughter's LAB iced coffee was delicious. Service friendly and prompt. Bathroom a bit dirty but shared with other businesses.

From the moment I arrived staff were very friendly and the environment itself was also very welcoming. I ordered the London Frog; their speciality drink as they say, which is their spin on a London fog. It is a tea based drink with orange and espresso, and it was incredible... seriously one of the better coffee drinks I've ever ordered. 100% would order this again. I also got the pastrami sandwich with a side of chips. It was only $9 so I didn't expect too much or anything too fancy. It was a standard sandwich, toasted with a few typical toppings, but it was delicious and did the trick for a yummy lunch. I'll be coming to Walden Coffee again for sure.
