The cinnamon roll was very gooey and large enough to share with a group. The entrees we had were okay, I liked the polenta but it could have used something crunchy to balance out the textures. My husband felt like the biscuits and gravy could have used more flavor overall. I like Reverie's commitment to plant-based foods, but I think I prefer their dinner menu to brunch.

Thankfully, my companions were all willing to split dishes, so I could try more than one. We started out with the lentil green onion pancakes. They were don't earth than I had expected. I thought they would be more of a super crispy flat dish, but they have the substance of a real pancake, with savory flavors. Really wonderful. We ordered three entrées, including the jackfruit and the eggplant. The jackfruit was my absolute favorite, but that was not universal. I think it was very well well prepared, but not everyone likes jackfruit and not everyone loves those spices. But it made me so happy. The eggplant dish was pretty good, but the potato two eggplant ratio could be improved. A few too many potatoes and not enough eggplant. Otherwise excellent. The service was fine. The owner did come over and say hello to us afterwards and he was delightful. Another excellent immigrant owned business to support in 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 went with a group of 5 for dinner so we got quite a few dishes, most of which were really dazzling. As a table we got the special appetizer whipped feta drizzled with honey and fluffy pita bread, crispy cauliflower, coconut curry hummus, charred eggplant, seared sea scallops, duck fat fries, lamb sausage pizza, and steak frites. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the dishes they got & shared except for the steak which was over cooked for medium; still edible, but not worth $55. Including 3 drinks and a soda our total came out to $230 which is pretty steep but the quality and quantity of the food I think justifies it (except for the steak). I personally loved the scallops and whipped feta dishes, they were scrumptious. Our server was friendly and accommodating and our food came out not even 20 minutes after we ordered even though it was busy. For a special occasion, I would certainly come here again.

A little pricey for what we ordered- standard breakfast fare, jam with a flare. Service was okay- didn't have a ton of interaction. Water station was fairly warm water.
