Probably the best restaurant in the Galleria! Good Earth provides the perfect balance between healthy & flavorful... so if you like healthy food that doesn't taste "healthy", this is your spot. People's Organic (also in the Galleria) has been consistently flavorless and underwhelming, so compared to other organic / health-food restaurants in the area, Good Earth reigns supreme. My favorite thing on the menu is their almond tuna sandwich! It's fantastic in the restaurant and they also sell full and half-sized sandwiches to-go from the grab-n-go window. You can also get awesome smoothies and fresh pressed juices, salads, and MASSIVE chewy cookies at the window! The best cookie by far is the iced ginger molasses cookie - if you like ginger, this cookie is for you! It's got a real bite to it, so grab a drink to wash it down! This place is typically pretty busy (especially for weekend brunch), so I highly recommend making a reservation or trying your luck at some odd-hours, like a late lunch or early dinner, to ensure you can get a table. read more

Really good food, but kinda pricey!! Especially with their smoothies/lemonade (though I did dish out for a lemonade and it was very good). Staff was very friendly and attentive. I got the veggie sandwich (unsure exactly name for it) and really enjoyed it! It's good for a quick lunch, but yes I've found it to be a little spendy so keep that in mind! read more

I'm not sure what has happened to the Good Earth recently, but service has definitely gone downhill. I've been a frequent patron of Good Earth throughout the years and have always enjoyed my experience, but lately I've experienced poor service and specifically my experience yesterday altered my opinion about the restaurant. Service has been very slow and at times rude, and not to the expectations that I expect when going to any Parasole restaurant. I like how Good Earth offers healthy options, and I do still enjoy their soups and teas, but I think I'll get these to go in the future. read more

I almost never send things back but I ordered the Mediterranean salad and it arrived not as a salad but rather as a plate of ingredients I could use to make my own salad. The components (olives, cucumber, tomato, etc, were arranged on a flat plate with a cold, dry. sliced chicken breast. If I had wanted to make my own salad I would have stayed home! I sent it back and ordered the shrimp tacos instead, which were very good. read more

Good Earth has had a long-time presence at the Galleria. The place always seemed to have a strong following, especially during patio season. The front case of cookies, pastries and teas still beckons you as you walk by, and might actually be the best part of the restaurant, so long as you are prepared to pay the "Galleria" prices. However, Good Earth's theme of sustainable, organic ingredients is honestly, no longer unique and the menu and decor does have a bit of a 90s feel to it now. I have eaten there a few times in the past, but decided is it high time to write my review as I don't think we will be going back. I do want to note that we were there during the uptick of the Delta Variant, and that many restaurants still haven't recovered in terms of staffing. So my husband and I decided to take a chance this past Saturday. The restaurant seemed to be properly staffed and our server was efficient, pleasant and friendly. At this point, one would hope Good Earth's emphasis would be on the creativity and quality of how the ingredients are put together in a dish. He ordered the Wok Seared Vegetables with added chicken, and I had the Mediterranean Greek Salad. Both arrived on BIG oversized plates. BOTH were sadly, completely underwhelming. The stir-fry lacked flavor, seemed to be coated in a dilute concoction of soy sauce and sweetener. It was desperately in need of some type of umami to tie it together: perhaps some garlic, ginger, onion? Maybe a dab of oyster sauce, sesame oil or even chopped scallion? No such luck. He ended up asking the waitress for some hot sauce to spice it up. She offered tabasco (Mexican) or cholula (also Mexican) for this Asian-themed dish. Finally, she offered chili pepper flakes which he accepted, but even that could not rescue the dish. My big skinny Greek Salad was 3 sheaves of romaine, cut up and spread out in a single layer over the plate, a cluster of 6 cut up grape tomatoes, 6 kalamata olives, 4 slices of cucumber, a 2-in. ball of hummus a 2-in ball of taboulleh, dusted with shredded feta and drizzled with oil and vinegar. The thick pita triangles (listed as toasted naan in the menu) were cold and dry on the tips. I would never think to put salt on a salad, but this one practically screamed at me to do so. I ate the whole thing (it was my dinner after all) and felt as though we could have done so much better just by going home and eating whatever was left over in our frig. read more

I'm a 'meat and potatoes' guy, so a place like this isn't really my speed since its such a niche space......BUT.....they actually had a few items on the menu that even I was able to choose from. It was delicious and the folks I was with had been before and their food looked delicious. Best looking healthy food I've seen LOL. Waitress was sweet and very attentive. She could tell I was a bit out of place and answered all my questions. read more

My party was ready to order by the time I arrived, giving me but a moment to quickly scan the menu for my brunch selection. I saw "huevos" and, quite incorrectly it turns out, assumed that I was going to be receiving a plate of huevos rancheros-style fare. Instead, it was a breakfast burrito. Good Earth, for goodness' sake, just call it a breakfast burrito. I certainly would've chosen something else had I known about your slyly-worded tricks, you hucksters. read more

Excellent food, good service and great ambiance. Love creativity in the menu. Customer service is excellent. This restaurant adjusts to your dietary needs. read more

The food is unseasoned and the potatoes were so green that they were bitter. The server was snarky with is while we placed our order. Then he put our food down and never came back. We watched him be extra nice to the tables around us. I left him 20%, but I think he acted in a discriminatory fashion toward us. I told the helper @ the front, but she was strange too. She offered me a gift card, but I refused and told her that my preference is dignified and equal treatment. Between the food and the service @ this place, just go to COV. It's a much better eatery that's just a few hundred feet away. read more

Really disappointing Father's Day breakfast. We had reserved in advance and were seated right away...and then largely ignored. Other tables were seated, served and left before we were able to flag down our sever to ask where our food was. She gave some excuses that orders were taking 20-25 minutes to fill...though we had ordered 45 minutes earlier at that point. Server seemed to be making a lot of excuses (and throwing the kitchen under the bud) and likely forgot to put our order. We had to get all of the food to go at that point so that we wouldn't be late for our daughter's softball game, scarfing it down out for the to-go boxes. Food ranged from really good to completely cold and tough to incorrect orders. Bummer way to spend what should have been a fun morning. read more

Good Earth has a lot of healthy options which can be nice when eating out. The restaurant is located within the Galleria and is easy to get to. They have a nice sized dining area with a pleasant atmosphere. I've been eating here on occasion since childhood and have always been content with the service. Staff have always been polite and helpful. I ordered a planet burger on my most recent visit. The bun was grainy and toasted. It had a distinct flavor that I REALLY enjoyed. The patty was made up of various beans, seeds, nuts and vegetables. It was a bit crumbly when biting into it but full of flavor! It's a great vegetarian option. This place is one of my favorite restaurants in this area. They have a variety of menu options along with seasonal items that are sure to please whoever you're dining with. read more

I was invited to join friends for breakfast at The Good Earth in Edina, having never been. Breakfast was $34 and change (not including tip). $34!! I noticed at bottom of bill that 5% was added to my meal as a "Safety/Benefits" charge. I asked what?...why? The hostess explained that it was for Covid safety measures taken by the restaurant, and for benefits paid to employees. These both sounded like business expenses, so why was I paying for them? "We have it posted here at the register, and it was on your menu," I was told. No other explanation was given. Please pass on my complaint, I said. Call corporate, I was told. Again, ME doing YOUR job. I went to every Web site I could find for Good Earth and parent company - found NOWHERE to send complaint to anyone. Will NOT be going back, or recommending anyone else to go there. read more

Feeling parched from strolling the Galleria? Wanting a healthy pick-me-up? Craving a surge of vitamins? The Good Earth's fresh squeezed juice cocktails kick ass. It's what Jamba Juice strives to be. If you like a punch, get the Zingapore Sling. Oh, and they have pretty fabulous angel food cake muffins as well. read more

I was very impressed! Delicious food, great service , what else can you ask for? My husband and I came here for breakfast and we both loved what we ordered. I had the organic stir fry omelette and it was scrumptious! He ordered the breakfast quesadilla which he loved as well. Our server was attentive but not annoying :) Would definitely recommend this place to friends and family and definitely would come again! read more

Service was great, food was delicious. Their iced tea is fantastic. I had a Greek salad, my wife had crab cakes and our friend had Joe's Eggs. We all were very pleased with our choices. Best hummus that I ever had, as well. read more

I came here for a quick breakfast and was in a hurry, so I grabbed a smoothie instead of sitting down and eating a proper breakfast. So this review is solely on the smoothie, and not on the juice or breakfast offerings. There's a sit-down restaurant and the juice bar is outside, around the corner. I was in a hurry and coming post-workout, so I only really had time for a smoothie, and opted for a berry smoothie. This $6 smoothie had strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, ice, and apple juice and wasn't anything super special. I could make it at home myself (granted, I was traveling for work, so I wouldn't be able to just make this in my hotel room), but I expected something a little more special and tasty for $6. I felt like it was on-par with the berry smoothie they sell at Costco for $1.50. All in all, I wouldn't make a special trip to come back here. Perhaps if you're in the mood for a smoothie or something quick on-the-go, this is a decent option, but I was underwhelmed by the selection and also by what I got. read more

$2 for A slice of toast??? Granted, it was whole grain and house made, but A slice for $2. I think that is a bit too much. I got the sausage scramble and had to hunt for the eggs amidst everything else. The turkey sausage was tasty and there were a lot of potatoes. Service was good and, overall, the breakfast was good. read more

January of COVID lunch with my sister. Made a reservation right at opening at was promptly seated. Server was great, just attentive enough, and conscious of distancing. Masks everywhere on the staff. Felt very safe the entire time. Could tell the menu was reduced, though I had a couple of solid choices. I went with the coconut curry with tofu which was only okay. Sorta tasteless. Redeemed by a marmalade-like side that was very good. But weird that a curry came with a marmalade? I'm a Thai curry fellow, so maybe a style I am unfamiliar with. Amazing green juice. Had a very pleasant time. It was the first time my sister had eaten out since March so glad it was handled so well. I'd go back, though I'd never been to the Galleria before and holy privilege Batman. I felt uncomfortable and judged the whole time walking to and from the restaurant. Inside felt fine but the environment surrounding it is not a place I'd like to go back to. read more

The Tea firstly the Herb and Spice house mix and Mango green tea, both absolutely amazing and fresh. You even have some choices in cold teas. Food - my wife had the "Just right for you" with Salmon, salad and fruit. The taste was great and the portion size perfect for a person with all the right ingredients. I had the Good Earth Turkey Meatloaf and it was just amazing. The meatloaf was great, the side broccoli n carrot salad thingy was great as well All in all a great place to get some great food and tea. We got a bag of the Herb and spice tea to go so that we can make our own. read more

We stopped by today for brunch since we were going to shop after at some Galleria stores. It was kind of busy but not too overwhelming. I ordered the green lemonade drink and it was SO good. I'm obsessed! I also had the egg white omlette and potatoes. This was alright, nothing special. The lemonade though - it's amazing. This place is also baby friendly!! read more

Loved Good Earth, can't wait to go back and try more on their menu. I ordered the almond tuna salad sandwich which was satisfying, light but also filling. I also had the copabanana smoothie, very refreshing! Atmosphere was comfortable, like the patio seating a lot, very decorated. And waiter was friendly, informative, quick and attentive and his suggestions were great also, I love to food blog everything, especially for awesome restaurants like this :) read more

Possibly the worst meal of my life. Our family received virtually no service while eating lunch. No one liked their meal. The food was fast-food quality. It's such a shame because this used to be one of our favorite restaurants. The quality and service have gone seriously down hill! read more

We had a quick lunch and got the Manhatten clam chowder and the bison burger with a "salad". The soup and burger were good, the salad was just some lettuce and the dressing was mostly oil with a hint of lemon. The server did not come by very much and we waited quite awhile for the server to bring the bill. We would try them again and maybe choose something different. Also, their bathroom was out of toilet paper. read more

All the times that I've visited Minneapolis, I have stopped at the Good Earth Restaurant and have not been disappointed. Never ever had to wait that long. Love their iced green tea mango! Delicious and refreshing. They even that various hot teas from the Nepal/Himalayas (delicious and impressive). The first time I came I had their Thai chicken wrap which was delicious (the sauce definitely makes this wrap scrumptious). The second time I had their vegetable bean soup and their veggie pizza. Very fresh and great taste! Love their bread they serve before the entree...yummy! Staff very friendly and the restaurant is always busy (a good thing). Restrooms are towards the back, only two for entire restaurant but always maintained and clean. Will see you soon! read more

Cashew Chicken Salad from the deli for the win! I've been eating in the restaurant on and off for many years and agree that it has gone from very good to fine. Oh well. If your friends suggest this, you'll be fine, but you can do better especially in the Southdale area. But the take out counter! You can get amazing sandwiches and pastries. A bag lunch will set you back $10, and seems like a great deal bc it is. There seem to be plenty of places to eat inside the Galleria, including right near Crate & Barrel, which is the reason everybody goes to the Galleria, right? read more

We had three different dishes. Two of them were meh and one of them was rather gross. They do have a variety on the menu but the food wasn't great. read more

My team from work were headed to a conference and decided to start here for breakfast. We were seated at a table for 8 and I ordered a Diet Coke, which was refilled often, they even brought a carafe of it over for us. Score. The breakfast menu was expansive and I ordered the Turkey Sausage Egg Scramble. We had a lot of laughs while we waited, and about ten minutes later our food came. The pancakes looked fantastic and the quesadilla that people ordered looked wonderful. The skillet dish was large, but not overwhelming. The eggs were fluffy, the sausage was flavorful and the cut up potatoes and peppers just added to a great dish. I topped it with pepper and it was just amazing. Everyone seemed happy with their dish, and our waitress was great as well. Overall, a solid breakfast place! read more

This review is for their counter service only - no matter how few people are in line, the service at the counter is glacially slow. Expect to wait 10-15 minutes just to buy a cookie and heaven forbid someone ahead of you orders a smoothie. Now I certainly don't expect this to be McDonalds, but come on, it's not rocket science here. I bet they could double or triple their revenue from the counter if they could fix their super inefficient processes. It's not unusual to see people give up from the line, even when it's only 3 people long, in frustration at the level of service provided. read more

I am a loyal Good Earth customer. I have been going to the Good Earth since I was a toddler when my mom would take me after a day of shopping at the Galleria. I'm sure I have had more of the menu than I can remember but I now stick to the same thing every single time. I get the Stoneground vegetarian nachos. Yum. My mouth waters every time I see the server coming out of the kitchen with the plate of chips loaded with cheese, black beans, guacamole, chilis, chipotle sauce, sour cream and salsa. Absolutely delicious. But one of my favorite things about going to the Good Earth is the hummus and bread basket is a great start to the meal. This might be my favorite hummus in the entire world. It's consistent time after time. The atmosphere of the Good Earth has not changed since the early 2000's. It is quaint and clean. Everything is extremely healthy on the menu. They have a great selection of fresh squeezed juices and smoothies as well. Not in the mood for a sit down? They have a to-go cafe right outside the actual restaurant. Growing up, I would always get the frozen yogurt (so good) with my mom and we would continue our shopping. It has now become a tradition of ours every time I am back in the Twin Cities. That reason alone might be why I give it a 5/5 stars....but trust me, it's great. read more

The gathering was for a birthday of a friend!! We all ordered different items from the menu, I ordered the scramble and I ate half. I also had tea with honey and that was very good. I brought the other half home for my husband ate that portion!! It was delicious! I also grabbed some bakery items from the case , cookies to share with the family! Very good and so fresh they also had salads and pastas to go!! Always a great place for a sit down meal!! Service was very good, she attended to all five of us with patients and smiles!! read more

I have only had breakfast there, which is excellent. Avacado toast...omg. So delicious!!

For years - probably 10 plus - I would always stop here for lunch when in town. I won't be coming back again. Food was subpar while the prices are stupid for nothing special. My wife has a soup and salad with chicken and it was the same price as my - not so great stir fry. $16.50 is insane. Bill for 2 was $38.50 for lunch. Never again. Again ... NOT organic and likely not even non GMO. Don't waste you time or money. read more

A perennial favorite of ours for over 27 years. We always enjoy delicious, healthy food and the staff goes a step beyond in providing wonderful service. We always bring our out-of-town guests here and they always leave impressed. And now that we can booked a reservation on the Open Table app, our wait times are dramatically shorter. read more

Yummy food!! Great vegetarian options. Sign up ahead of time to get a free birthday burger.

Love the menu selection, friendly staff, and environment! Great place to take a group!

I brought a group of 16 senior citizens there during the flower show. An incredibly busy time. I called ahead and they had a large table set up for us. The service was great even though it was noisy and crowded. I can't believe that we were able to secure a place to have lunch with such a big group on such short notice! Major props to our server whose name escapes me right a potential situation that could have been a headache was handled professionally and and in a friendly way. Nice work Good Earth! read more
