Brunch at The Breakfast Club in Minneapolis never misses…read more I had the "Jamaican Me Hungry" and it was packed with flavor from start to finish. The sweet corn cakes were soft with just the right amount of sweetness, paired perfectly with the carnitas that were tender and well-seasoned. The black beans balanced everything out, and the pineapple salsa brought that bright, fresh pop that tied the whole plate together. The jerk sauce? Bold, smoky, and just the right level of heat without overpowering the dish. The atmosphere is always lively--good music, a steady brunch crowd, and that energetic weekend vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer than you planned. Staff was super sweet and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. Definitely a go-to spot if you want brunch that's flavorful, filling, and full of personality.

Wow!!!! What a great find. I knew it would be exceptional…read morewhen the proprietor/manager held the door open and greeted us. We opted to sit at the bar because it is always a good place to pick up the vibes of staff and watch preparations. There is an open kitchen for all to see and Perk Up was meticulous. We shared a heavenly cinnamon roll, followed by the best breakfast skillet we have ever eaten. The skillet was accompanied by whole grain toast that was delicious with their proprietary jam. We will hit this spot next time we are in Minneapolis!

The Buzz is a great place to stop by for waffles and more!…read more I first discovered this cafe through a vegan friend - The Buzz has a secondary vegan waffle menu that is full of tasty options, and not limited like many breakfast places are! I have been back numerous times to try their vast menu of waffle choices and coffee. The small cafe is always bustling with visitors on the weekend - if you are looking to dine in, arrive early or be prepared to wait for a seat. I highly recommend for anyone to check out! I have never been disappointed by the quality of food and service. They even have punch cards for frequent visitors!

I've now come into this cafe twice and have had good experiences. Definitely gives off more…read morehometown coffee shop vibes than a lot of the more upscale / clean cut coffee shops more in the cities. I tried both coffee and waffles the most recent time I came and both were tasty. I will say though their waffle menu is quite extensive - dare I say a bit overwhelming. The prices are super reasonable though (especially compared to other local shops). I would highly recommend checking it out to catch up with a friend or just hang out!

Incredible service and gorgeous dog friendly patio! The food and atmosphere is absolutely amazing…read more The pancakes are 5 star and a must try. And normally you wouldn't get excited about oatmeal, but the "banana nut oatmeal"... wow! So delicious!! We were just passing through Minneapolis and happened to go here. So glad we did!! It did not disappoint!

I'm a savory breakfast type-of-person so I ordered eggs Benedict for myself and strawberries cream…read morepancakes for my kids. I fell in love with pancakes. They were moist, had a little bit of saltiness to them (I'm guessing from butter), so good even without syrup. On the other hand tho, the egg Benedict was dreadful. The hollandaise sauce seems to be the problem. Literally tasted like hospital food, 0/10 for the Benedict. I would also switch out the Canadian bacon for better quality. I also wish the waiter had been more lively and attentive. Overall I would come back, literally for the pancakes!!

The restaurant is super tasty and they have the bakery items available for order too. Most of the donors from Red Cross would come here after donating platelets and always raved about it too.

We came in on a Sunday....Mother's Day no less, and thanks to their waitlist, we got in and out…read morequickly. We were coming from an appointment in Edina and assumed we'd be waiting for a while, but that wasn't the case at all. We walked in, I ran to the restroom, and they were already ready for us. The Edina location does feel a bit tight, I'm not sure why, but I would definitely recommend using the waitlist during peak times or you'll likely be waiting (there are several benches available to hang out on if you are waiting). The sourdough French toast is always my go-to, especially paired with their bacon. I should have gone with the short stack this time. That bacon is so good. I'm not sure were they get it from, but I'm a fan. Our food came out really fast. We were in and out in about 35 minutes. Typically, OPH is a five star experience, and based on the food alone, it absolutely still is. For me, the service fell a bit short this time. Both our server and others seemed a little off. For example, as we were leaving, I paused to let a server finish dropping off food at a nearby table. It was taking a bit, so I carefully moved past, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. She turned and almost ran right into me, and the look I got in return just felt off. That said, it was Mother's Day, so giving some grace. Just not quite the usual experience.

This time (and every other time), I treated myself to the Strawberry Dream--a heavenly combo of fluffy waffles, fresh strawberries, and the perfect drizzle of sweetness. Hubby went for the PB Love, which was pure peanut butter bliss! Every bite was chef's kiss perfection. If you haven't been to Waffle Bar yet, what are you waiting for? It's a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Waffle bar is a small place in an uptown that doesn't have a lot is seating but good ice cream…read more Located right in Lyndale across from the world street kitchen, it has a small parking lot and a few tables inside to have your ice cream. The first thing you notice is the smell of fresh waffles. And it's lovely. They have a selection of different creations and specials that you can order from. And if you are not in the mood for nice cream, they also have some interesting drinks you can try like bubble tea and smoothies. But try the ice cream. The ice cream is creamy and delicious and the creations, while not cheap, are very tasty. The staff is friendly and helpful and will assist you if you have questions or not able to decide. We like this place for a sweet treat or a special celebration.

Who doesn't love ice cream with a warm waffle. They also have chicken and waffles which I normally end up getting because I am always craving savory but I also get ice cream for after. This place isn't huge but there is always plenty of seating. Great place for kids and adults. Huge parking lot, great location in the south suburbs. Employees are always super friendly and I am always indecisive and they wait patiently for me to decide what I want.
