I've heard so much about hope breakfast bar from their other locations and was pleasantly surprised to see they opened in eagan! We came for brunch during the week without a reservation. The patio was full since the weather was nice but we were able to get seating inside right away. It did take longer than usual to have someone come to our table to give water and take our order but it seems like they're short staffed since it's a new location. After ordering, our food and drink came out quickly which was nice, it was just the initial waiter coming to us that took a while. We ordered the breakfast tostada to split 2 ways and I got an iced lemon bar latte. The tostada was good, nothing amazing but did the job. It definitely needs hot sauce to make it taste better. My latte wasn't what I was expecting. It felt like the lemon was enhancing the bitterness of the espresso. I've had lemon lattes before at other coffee shops and felt they tasted better, but it's on me for not ordering a more traditional drink. Overall it was an average experience. Nothing great but nothing bad. I'm sure I'll be coming back because this location happens to be very convenient for me. Since it only opened 2 months ago I'm sure they're still getting their feet wet and will gradually improve their service times! read more

I've been to this location twice now and can't understand the poor reviews! I've had an excellent experience both times. Both times, we made reservations and both times, we got our food within 10 minutes of ordering! Our reservations were early morning on the weekends both times. It's a busy and popular brunch spot so in this case, the early bird gets the worm. On to the aesthetic of the place, it's absolutely beautiful. I love the faux greenery spread throughout the location. I think the open concept looks nicer than the St Paul location only because there is more room to walk around and the area looks bigger. The downside is that noise travels easily and tends to stay in the entire room. It was loud both times but not unbearably so. Between the two locations, I've tried many of the menu items. This specific Eagan location has a whipped ricotta egg toast which is phenomenal. So tasty and lots of flavor with the added pickled onions. Today I tried a new item - blackened cauliflower with spicy cheese Gratin and fried egg. Comes with hashbrowns which was a plus. This one was very delicious as well - so savory! Don't let the addition of vegetables fool you - it was honestly so good! My husband got the chicken and waffles which I've tried before at the St. Paul location - it was delicious, as always! My new favorite coffee that I tried was the pistachio Cardamom latte. It's sweeter than some of the other lattes I've tried from Hope and exceptionally delicious - especially if you like pistachios! Overall, 5/5 experience. Love Hope Breakfast Bar and so happy they opened up this location closer to me. read more

We have been to the St. Paul location and loved it, so I was hesitant to try the suburbs version. I thought the whole thing might be a bit more blah than the cool fire station in St. Paul. But we live in Eagan so had to give it a try and I'm so glad we did! They have done a great job with the inside decor and the patio. So many plants and flowers adorn the patio that you aren't even aware you ate right by a parking lot. Haing the large garage door that connects the inside and outside open really adds to the flow. Service was great. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The thing I like most about Hope is that the food and beverage offerings are so unique! There are some breakfast standards for sure, but stretch out of your comfort zone and try something with a fresh twist! It took me a while to decide! I had the lavender vanilla latte, which was very good although a little too sweet for me. Still a fun treat! So many great coffee options. They also have alcoholic options if you're ready for that. We'll definitely give the Mimosa Board a try sometime. I ordered the breakfast tostad. Very good and very filling! Hubby had the McHope Sandwich with hashbrowns and loved it. Highly recommend. We will be back! It's best to make a reservation. This place fills up! read more

I had been to the St Paul location and finally had the opportunity to try the Eagan spot. I met a colleague here for a meeting on a Tue mid-morning. It was crazy busy. I did not have reservations but did manage to get a table for two after a short wait. Loved the vibe. Very green and open. Liked the patio area. Nice bright place to hang. I chose the brown sugar latte and it was delicious. Don't want to know how many calories it had - just want to enjoy it. Service was good. It was a nice experience. read more

Hope Breakfast Bar - Eagan - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Eagan, Minnesota

It was a loud, industrial feel to the place and hard to hear conversation. After ordering the avacado toast, the price of my single breakfast came to $28.00 including a tip and the $6 cup of coffee from a thermos on the table. Worst coffee ever. Then the three of us were asked to leave because "people were waiting"!! That has never happened to me before after 90 minutes. There were some open tables. Food was lukewarm. I will never be back. read more

My new fav restaurant in Eagan! This is a perfect place for any small groups, but I think they would struggle with groups larger than 6. Ambiance is perfectly beautiful, decorated with a classic but modern touch. Our family of 6 had an 11:45am reservation. The place was packed, but we were seated immediately. Our sever was friendly, but also very busy. The food was FANTASTIC! All 6 of us loved our dishes, despite choosing different items from the menu. Today, I tried the biscuit and gravy. I do wish they served a little bit of sausage with the dish, but the mushrooms, eggs and crispy hash browns were enough to make up for lack of sausage. I ordered chicken and waffles from a previous visit and liked them even more than the biscuit. The caramel sea salt latte was delicious. But, it was so sweet that I couldn't finish the entire cup. read more

We were looking for a nice place to enjoy breakfast and heard positive comments about Hope Breakfast Bar in Eagan. When we arrived, I did not feel like I was welcome, as their was not friendly greeting or welcome. When I was asked "how many?", I replied, 'Just two of us." I was then informed, "we could sit at the bar." That is not want I was looking for, and then was informed it would at least a 30 minute wait, as they had reservations coming at 11:45am. I looked casually around the dining area and notice 6 tables for two that were empty. Still no feeling of being welcomed. We waited for 30 minutes (almost to the minute) before receiving our text our table was ready. Finally, a bright ray of sunshine, our server, Claire K. greeted us warmly, making us feel like we were welcomed into her home. Made me smile that such a friendly face and smile worked here. Claire was friendly, helpful and most importantly cheerful. What a delight!! Much better than the reception received by the male manager and hostess. We placed our order with Claire and while we waited for our food, I noticed the hostess and one of the other food deliver persons chatting and checking their phones while prepared meals were waiting for delivery to patrons. The "manager" was seated at the end of the bar, with his face buried in his computer (I guess the other employees see the boss doing it so why can't they). Our food was delivered to our table, it was good (nothing you could not prepare at home), but our server, Claire, checked on us (always with a warm greeting and smile), continuing to make us feel welcome and that we belonged. Claire's service was impeccable, timely and thoughtful. I would not hesitate to bring others as long as I could request Claire. I would encourage management to work harder on providing warm, friendly greetings to everyone walking through their door...as a first time diner I would question whether a repeat visit would be worth the effort. I provided a two-star rating ONLY because of our server, other's we interacted with would have received a negative one star. read more

We love traveling to new places and trying local breakfast spots. This one is on the top of our list! The whole look was well put together with a fun, but relaxing, ambiance with greenery everywhere. Our service was great, and even though there was an issue with the kitchen and one of our kids meals missing our waitress gave us a cup of fruit to keep our little snacking while we waited on her full meal. I ordered the salted caramel coffee and it was delicious. Definitely recommend this place and look forward to our next trip! read more

We were excited to try this place out! Definitely lots of fun menu options! We absolutely loved the carnitas bowl, and we both really like the chicken biscuit as well. Banana bread latte was yummy. Can't wait to try some of their other delicious sounding food and drinks! Service was alright. They were really busy (which surprised us since it was a Tuesday), and we were fine waiting, but ended up waiting quite a bit longer than they estimated which was kind of a bummer. Our server was understandably busy, so we didn't mind the slower service but everytime she stopped at our table told us how busy and crazy it was which just made us feel awkward and kind of guilty for being there so it made it a bit hard to relax and enjoy our brunch. The restaurant was clean and has a nice, bright atmosphere. Prices are a bit steep on some things, they do add a 4% surcharge, and their automated tipping suggests 30% which is a bit goofy to me. When 20% is considered "above average service," recommending 30% leaves me a bit salty, especially since they also add a surcharge on the bill that they say is for employees. So it wasn't a complete knockout, but we'll be back as we enjoyed the food and the menu options! read more

This place is adorable. It was impressed how quickly we were seated and greeted with a reservation. They really pack people in here so sometimes it's hard to navigate, and the bathroom situation is strange. They have 2 TINY stalls, like I literally couldn't fit in them to shut the door without climbing on the toilet. They do have one accessible bathroom but I hate using that incase a wheelchair user needs to access it. The food came out so quickly I was surprised. There are prayer cards on the table and a religious undertone to some of the signage and wording but it didn't feel pushy and I'm willing to overlook that based on the food and service. read more

I am so excited they opened a Hope in Eagan! Much easier parking and wait times than St Paul. We made a reservation online, were greeted and sat immediately. Service was super fast and friendly. The decor is so cute here! Definitely an instagrammable moment. My pork belly tacos were amazing and I had leftovers. The banana bread latte was so yummy!!!

Hope Breakfast Bar - Eagan - Bacon (pork belly) tacos! And a Banana bread latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Eagan, Minnesota

We arrived at 1 pm on a Saturday, place closes at 3. Hostess was kind, sat us a nice table. It was our first time there as our kids gave us a gift card for it. Was really looking forward to this, the food coming out going to other tables looked amazing. We waited almost 10 minutes before the waitress came over, she took our order for food and drink and appeared to be rushed. Someone else brought our food out and left before I could ask for ketchup. Waited another few minutes, our waitress was at the coffee bar talking with other staff so we flagged down the exceptional hostess who apologized then brought ketchup and Tabasco for my husband like she could read his mind! Incredible hostess. The $17 patty melt I had tasted as if the burger was reheated in the microwave, hash browns were undercooked. Husband had the chorizo egg bowl with rice, he enjoyed it. Waitress finally came back after my husband ate his bowl and asked him if we wanted a box and if everything was alright as she put our check down. At this point, I wanted to leave with taking only two bites of my sandwich. At lease the puppy will have something on her food tonight. I have said this other reviews, I waitressed and put myself through college in the 1980s. If you did not provide great service for a 10-15 percent tip, you probably would be fired. In today's world, just showing up and providing poor service, wait staff expect a twenty percent tip. I have no issue paying that if the service is good. The only kind person we experienced there was the young woman who was the hostess. Waitress and runner lacked customer service skills and cared less for the paying customer. Do better! read more

While visiting Minnesota, my sister suggested this place for a late lunch and I'm really glad she did! This is one of their three locations and I'm sure the food is as good at the other locations. The food was really amazing. I only caught pictures of my bacon tacos and my sister's breakfast sandwich. But the smoked salmon sandwich also came to the table and their Hope Breakfast. Everyone raved about how good everything tasted. The staff was great. Super attentive. Made good suggestions from the menu for us, too. The decor is very open with clean lines and shows off some of their ingredients. Aside from everything else, this place has a great philosophy behind supporting its workers, using local ingredients where possible, and giving back to the community. And there was some really cool original art on the walls, too. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

On weekend you want to consider the lack of parking and need for reservations. Once you are in though, the whole place is decorated very cute and trendy, with comfortable chairs, and a creative bathroom space (individual restrooms with the sinks in a community space, very unusual). The menu is impressive with a variety of foods that accommodate GF and vegetarian. I had a Chicken Biscuit that had good hot honey chicken and pickles, unfortunately you couldn't taste the pimento cheese sauce on it. It had great hash browns served with it though! I'd give it an 8/10. My dining companion had the Blackened Cauliflower and Fried Egg, it was very delicious, an absolute 10/10! We had two lattes, the butterscotch and a salted caramel, the butterscotch tasted like toffee (7/10) the salted caramel was great (10/10). Overall, it was good, but maybe not as good as the hype I've heard from people. The prices were reasonable, though the $8 coffee was a tad high. read more

Waste of money. Do not get the yogurt bowl. Had to add more yogurt at home unless you wanted to just eat granola for $15. Breakfast sandwich is the same as brueggers bagels but its half the price there. lavender latte was good but was spitting sticks out half the time I was drinking it. Definitely not worth it. Maybe dining in is different? Idk read more

This location looked very good online but when we walked in it was instantly VERY noisy, I could barely hear my boyfriend talking to me from right across the table. The food was alright but the service was TERRIBLE! Our waitress took our drink order, came back with them 10 minutes later and took our food order. She did not stop back at our table until I had to get her attention to get our bill. She barely paid attention to us but yet gave all of her attention to the tables around us and stopped at each other table around 10 times. I'm not usually the person that doesn't leave a tip but I couldn't leave a tip after that. We felt like just because we were younger (22 and 21) she might've felt like we weren't going to leave a good tip so she didn't pay attention to us and paid more attention to her "higher paying customers". My boyfriend and I always leave at least a 20% tip but this experience was just unbelievable, I have never been more upset at a restaurant. read more

This. Place. Is. Epic. I had never heard of this. But it was my day off, the kids were in school and my wife and I needed some breakfast and coffee, and we were up for a place we'd never been to. She heard of this place through Facebook and the reviews were lookin' good. We punched it into GPS and set a course for Hope Breakfast Bar, where they believe in breakfast. Today, I'm a believer! First thing my wife noticed on the way, was that the website said to make reservations because it gets busy! It was 8:15 AM and she noticed that reservations were booked from 9:00 AM onward, but there was an opening for 8:30 and we took it. We arrived and entered and the place is beautiful. Open, spacious, warm and friendly, welcoming atmosphere. We were kindly greeted and asked if we were walk up or had a reservation. There were only a couple of tables taken at this point but by 9:00 AM the place was booming. I ordered a cold brew with caramel syrup and half n half, my wife ordered a horchata latte. I like mine sweet so I asked for extra sugar at the table. My wife went for The Sammy. My choice, however, was not so easy. I'm a biscuits n gravy man, whenever, wherever. But, I never pass on chicken n waffles-AND WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE RESTAURANT HAS BOTH ON THE MENU??? They had a solution for me that was also in the menu, they had third option for guys just like me (just like you ) the Southern Fried Chicken n Waffles, with the jalapeño syrup.....ummmm YES!! I'll take that! The portions are: "you're not gonna go hungry, you're probably not gonna finish all the food on your plate!" The presentation is: "oh my goodness, this looks so good!, I just want to rotate the plate and behold the glory" The taste is: "an absolute explosion of flavors that work together like a navy seal team who've been conditioned and trained to carry out this assignment, AND THEY WILL NOT BE DEFEATED." We were sending pictures out to family telling em they gotta get to Hope Breakfast Bar, because this place is the truth. If you're one of those who usually skips breakfast, you need to get your Hope back for the morning grub. Visit Hope Breakfast Bar, tell 'em I sent you. Try the Southern Fried Chicken n Waffles, The Sammy or the Biscuits n Gravy. Who know, maybe I'll see you there! Putting' the Hope back in Breakfast! read more

I would go back for this. It was so cheesy, and the pork belly was perfectly done! The wait (about 30 minutes without a reservation) on a 11:30 am Saturday was worth it. It was so busy. But with this kind of food, it only makes sense. read more

Great food and service, plus you can make a reservation! We have enjoyed our visits. One of our go to places for family gatherings.

This place WOWED me in so many aspects. Came on a Monday morning around 8 am, only 1 table was occupied. The coffees were amazing where they had flavor but also still tasted like coffee (spiced brown sugar latte & butterscotch latte). The portions were HUGE. The southern fried chicken and waffles for $20 was a crazy good deal especially when the taste was amazing. Would ask for a syrup on the side so the waffle is not as dry but by itself the buttermilk flavor was great. Would recommend the grits. The gravy on the southern fried chicken and waffles worth the extra $3 compared to just the chicken and waffles!!! The pickled veggies on the deviled eggs made this dish incredible! Again QUANTITY!!! They gave me half a plate of hash browns with a deviled egg sandwich that had at least 4 eggs on it! The servers were very sweet and attentive. Thank you!! read more

Overpriced for what you get , food was average. Busy place , food did come out quick

Food was excellent. Great menu. Service outstanding and ambience - loud. Opted for the patio.

I was super excited to try Hope Breakfast Bar when they opened; so I made a reservation. I ordered a mimosa and my husband got a Bloody Mary -- I thought both were extremely overpriced (especially for how tiny their mimosas are.) For $45 you can get their mimosa board that comes with a whole bottle vs. the tiny glass for $10. I ordered the chicken and waffles and honestly it was all pretty dry and bland. I also got a side of loaded hash browns and they were like a hockey puck. My husband got the chicken fried steak and it was so incredibly burnt. Our food did come incredibly fast after ordering though and we could tell our server was busy so we didn't see her much. While the space is pretty (would prefer live plants though) and their patio is nice for the summer, with the food quality (or lack there of) I don't think I'll be back -- or at least for a very, very long time. read more

I found this restaurant on Yelp. It looked really good in the pictures so my friend and I decided to try. They had just opened 3 to 4 days prior to our visit. Everything was very new and fresh. Our server was incredible. I said I'm going well. We doing good We were not disappointed. The food selection was fantastic. They had some thing for everyone. From your typical American style breakfast to sweet breakfast like their carrot cake pancakes, and Mexican inspired breakfast. I ordered the breakfast tacos, a small order of the carrot cake, pancakes and a crème brûlée latte with oat milk. My friend ordered the pimento cream cheese, egg breakfast and a banana nut latte. My tacos were phenomenal. They did not skimp on the guac and feelings , and my latte was fantastic. My banana nut latte was also really good. Although I would say her pimento cream cheese scramble left a little to be desired. I'm not sure if the cream cheese was forgotten or if it was whipped into the eggs. We didn't get a chance to ask. That being said our experience was not ruined. As we went to a different location the next day. I ended up ordering the stuffed poblano breakfast. That was amazing!! read more

I went to the Hope Breakfast Bar & sat at the bar with my friend this morning. We both had a great time! Service was attentive and was really friendly on giving us suggestions for what we should order when we gave her our likes and dislikes on food. My friend had the Vietnamese coffee & Breakfast Sandwich. I had the Butterscotch latte with oat milk (so delicious- but $7) and I had the Pimento scrambled egg's & hash browns. I ate half - brought the rest home to my teenager...we both enjoyed it. We watched food being made in the kitchen and everything looked sooo good! I know there's a few I might try if I get back to that side of town again. read more

Overall a good place for breakfast. Food is good with lots of variety. However, every time I go there (which has been 3 or 4 times) we get terrible initial seating. When we request a different table the body language from the hostess is terrible, obviously upset that we would challenge their selection. I don't understand why they care. I guess I am the dummy for going back with that type of treatment. read more

The ambiance was good, really cute place. The service was good. The food was very mediocre, and too expensive. I also didn't like how when you are paying your bill, they turn the little computer screen around and the tip options are 30%, 25% or 20%. The 30% is on the left side of the screen (where the 15% usually would be) so it's almost like a trick. Also... 30% is a little absurd. read more

Hope breakfast bar is worth the hype! This is the perfect place to grab brunch with friends :) They have a huge selection of regular and boozy coffee drinks along with other breakfast cocktails. The food was also full of flavor and they offer unique entrees (along with more traditional breakfast options). The service was so fast, we were shocked! Even though the place was packed full, we got our food within 10 minutes of ordering. One thing to note is that it is pretty loud in the restaurant with all the people and hustle and bustle. So if you're noise sensitive, keep that in mind, otherwise they have a patio that is probably quieter. Would highly recommend checking this place out! (With a reservation if you go on a weekend:)) read more

Atmosphere: great, albeit loud. Cute salt & pepper shakers shaped like eggs. Service: subpar. After waiting 45 min to be seated, waited at least another 10 to order, and then waters were never refilled. Food: disappointing. Scrambled eggs were burnt (and no additives like cream or pancake batter that some places do to make them better), toast was super dry, bacon was floppy like it was microwaved. The hashbrowns were okay -- their unique seasoning was interesting, but a bit too strong for my tastes, though my fiancée really liked them. The pink raspberry passion lemonade tasted great, though I didn't drink much since I don't like floating bits of fruit that come up through the straw. We split the banana bread pancakes -- I didn't like them because they tasted like undercooked banana bread, but my fiancée saw that as a benefit, so I guess they're good if you'd like that. read more

Very good food but very noisy if you have a few people you can't hear the other one talking.

I came in the next day with Basil. He got what I got yesterday with loaded hash browns. They are good. I tried a breakfast sandwich, a meat lovers delight. The service was much better from Micah, and I may start asking for him. Basil's grilled bread that comes with was thoroughly buttered, and tasted really good. We split a third raspberry lemonade and he had them put it in 2 glasses. With all they offer I just realized there are no omelets. Nevertheless, a most imaginative menu. read more

Stopped in with the fam the week this place opened. We did have reservations. I have been to the St. Paul location which is awesome, but since they were booked up we were able to get reservations for the Eagan location. Being that it had just opened that week I was expecting some hiccups, but the service was pretty smooth and prompt. The food was also great. I opted for the waffles and they did not disappoint. It's pretty big, but I managed to scarf down 3/4 of it. It made me sad to leave some on the plate, but I also had hashbrowns (which were delicious as usual) so I hit my max. They do have outdoor seating if you prefer to eat outside. Overall I'd definitely recommend this location as an alternative if the St. Paul location is booked up (depending on your location). read more

High quality food with generous portion size. The service was pleasant and efficient.
