The May Day Cafe is a small, crowded, worker-owned cooperative coffee shop in the Powderhorn…read moreneighborhood of south 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.

Muhim's had a good variety of drink options, without the menu being overly complicated or overwhelming (which cafe menus can easily veer into for me). I got a medium matcha with oat milk.

Cafe itself is so cute with flowers all over the walls and ceilings. They also had pastries that looked very yummy!

Located in a…read moresomewhat drafty building, this no-frills homey café offers great pastries, coffees and teas, as well as breakfast, bowls, sandwiches, soups and salads, and entreés. Our group of seven enjoyed cream cheese ravioli, the chicken cob salad, and a salt-free burger on a great bun, with homemade kettle chips. There is no table service. Order at the counter, and the staff will bring the food to your table. When done, you can leave the dishes on the table, but bussing your dishes is appreciated. Gigi's is a great place to meet friends, hang out, and enjoy good food in a relaxed neighborhood home away from home.

The outside patio and entrance area was also cute. I think it'll even be cuter in the spring and summer as the snow covered a lot of the patio area. The inside has a classic coffee cafe feel to it. Bigger than I expected inside. The menu prices weren't bad. Food was actually kinda cheap in my opinion. I ordered the the classic breakfast which came with eggs, red potatoes or greens, and toast with jelly. The food was pretty good. Nice balance of flavor. Id get again. I also ordered the nutty professor latte which had good whip cream but I felt it was overbearing with the nuts on top I couldn't really get to the whip...I guess that's why it's called the nutty professor though. The drink tasted like a sugar cookie. I was a bit confused why a hot coffee drink would be put in a glass. Staff was kind and helpful. Nice coffee selections and bakery looked decent. Not a bad spot overall.

Thank to Yelp for pointing out this cafe on Day 3/4 shuttling my granddaughter to school. I was…read moreaware of Patisserie 46 down the street, but I wanted something more for breakfast, and Easy Day fulfilled that and more! I went with the egg-cheese-ham breakfast sandwich on an asiago cheese bagel. Delightful, especially compared to other breakfast bagels around town. The slice of chocolate-banana bread caught my eye also. I ordered a 2-shot medium latte (they pull double-shots) that came in a mug atop a dainty china saucer with lovely foam artwork. Ten tables and a handful of padded chairs are spaced throughout the shop, with only 5 of them occupied at 9 am on a Wednesday. I think there will be outdoor streetside tables once the snow melts. Electrical outlets are a bit sparse, but they do exist along the main wall. What really made my experience special was the service -- something I rarely see at coffee shops. First off, I ordered vanilla flavoring for my latte, but after the cashier poured it (and before I paid), I noticed that they had a salted maple latte as a limited time special. She graciously poured out the vanilla syrup and started my special latte. On completion, the barista called out, "Vanilla turned into Salted Maple Latte!", which I found amusing. Finally, the third attendant walked my breakfast bagel to my table as I was washing my hands. Just little acts of kindness and service which I much appreciated. Note that all prices include tax and tip, so prices appear high on the menu board, but in the end were equivalent to what I've been paying the first two days of shuttling in south Minneapolis. Easy Day Cafe is the best place I've visited for coffee or breakfast in a while. Enjoy!
