I think my friend and I were there for 3ish hours and didn't really feel interrupted or distracted by surrounding noise. -egg coffee: egg cream was the right amount of sweet but beware bc the coffee is SUPER caffeinated. I don't feel jittery or anything by coffee that much anymore but 1/3 of the way through this coffee and i was WIRED. -banhmini (banh mi panini): very good! regular banh mia usually have too much bread for my liking so this was a nice alternative. would recommend!

Service was quick and easy. We used the kiosk to order, which made it easy to see all the options. I had a Viet coffee, which was a little sweet for me, but tasted fairly authentic. I'm sure others would really enjoy it.

Street parking was easy, greeted as soon as we got there and it kept going uphill till the end. Servers make you feel so welcome and the food, oh, the delicious food! We split two meals (sweet and savory). Omelette was so flavorful, super good caramelized onions! PANcake was warm, decadent and comforting. We will be back!

Went here for brunch with a friend. The place looked great, but it was pricier than I expected. I…read morewasn't super hungry, so I went with what looked like the cheapest thing on the menu--a plain buttermilk pancake. My mistake. If I had checked the reviews first, I would've known what I was in for. I didn't love it, but honestly, I'm not sure what I expected--it was just a big (extra thick) plain pancake. Everything else I saw coming out of the kitchen looked amazing, so I can't fault The Hen overall. I was mostly just disappointed by the price: my pancake, coffee, and tip came out to over $25, which felt like way too much. Meanwhile, my friend got the omelet special with hashbrowns, and I definitely envied her choice. We ate outside on the sidewalk on a beautiful day.

Came in here this weekend on a whim, and all I can say is WOW! Wasn't sure what to expect, but I…read morewas surprised to find fair pricing, extraordinary customer service, and a lively atmosphere. Reservations aren't even needed; you can basically stop in any time. If you're going to splurge on food in this area, this is the ONLY place to go. You can basically get your whole meal here for just nickels and dimes. The friendly community ambiance really makes you feel as though you're just hanging out and shooting the breeze. The White Monsters found here are of a particularly fine vintage. Though the management's choice is understandable, only improvement would be to include alcoholic options. 10/10 would recommend.

Mango coconut was very good but I wish I would've gotten low sweetness level. Honey double matcha was perfect at regular sweetness. Super super super nice staff and cute place! The only thing is they r closed on Sundays which is a bummer!

The cafe no longer had the pink floral decor but it's still really cute! The soufflé pancakes were pretty good. They're a fun dessert item. I wouldn't say so for breakfast since they are a little too sweet but if you've got a sweet tooth you'll definitely enjoy these. I was sad to hear they discontinued the kitchen aspect of the cafe and are focusing only on the matcha but I do understand. Best of luck with Fufu Matcha! I'll be sure to stop by whenever visiting :)

Great food and generous portions! They take the care of making it fresh, but still get it out quick.read more

This place was pretty good! We were visiting from out of town and meeting up with some friends, and…read morethis place was convenient and in the area. The food is good and pretty simple. It wasn't quite as punchy as the name La Fusion Cafe implies, but it was a nice and easy meal. I did leave a little hungry, though. The locale is very very casual, with just a couple of small tables. I'm assuming that people mostly take their food here to go. It's also in an office building, so it would make sense for that. The gentleman behind the counter was very sweet and helpful. Overall, this is a nice place to get a quick, easy, and healthy lunch on the go.

The food was amazing, hospitality was cozy, atmosphere was relaxing to be in. Their menu has much more we will need to return to try. They have an additional location in Minneapolis and a spot at the MN State Fair every year! I'm most eager to get back here to try breakfast soon! Brunch / breakfast is my love language. This place was perfect for the dinner atmosphere we needed on a cold MN evening. It would also be a great pick for date night. The things we tried and you should too: Chicken Wild Rice Soup (10/10) Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich (with the Maple Chipotle Glaze) Almond Encrusted Walleye Redemption Burger their fries were also a bit hit at our table Basically we loved this place and can't wait to try more items from them For more awesome food spots check out the account mallorymademetryitmn on Instagram!

Love all of the organic food on the menu. The food is always prepared so well with lots of fresh organic options. Great little patio at the back of the restaurant is worth checking out. Been to this location a few times and service is good but during busy times you will have to be patient. I have to say I feel the dishes and drinks are a bit overpriced but maybe that is justified with all of the organic ingredients. Definitely worth checking out.

Though they have a salad and falafel plate on the menu the cook said he would make me a "Veg Philly Cheese" sandwich. My boyfriend got the actual Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. Both were SUPER good. Mine was melty and cheesy and the bread was fresh and soft. Why only a 3.5? the place is a little unimpressive, would be a great 'after bar' stop. It was ok for lunch, the place could look nicer. And the cook told me I would "lose my legs!" because I didn't eat meat. WTF? I would still go back for the calorie laden sandwiches.

Since it seemed to by a gyro/pizza place, I thought I could also get fallafel and the like. All they seemed to have that was vegetarian were the salads and a hummus plate. So I had a Greek salad, which was large and good, and the hummus plate, which was smaller than the picture on the menu board. Both were good, but the fact that the choices were pretty limited, and a bit of shakiness apparently due to new ownership keeps 7th St Bistro at 3 stars. The stencil on the window said desserts too, but due to the new ownership, they hadn't brought in baklava or any other dessert options as of my visit, which disappointed me :(
