"A post shared by Hen House Eatery (@henhouseeatery) on Oct 16, 2020 at 5:53am PDT. This ultra popular downtown location feels like a modern twist on the classic diner. Sure, the menu features all the classics you’d expect from a breakfast powerhouse (their omelettes are tops) but the whole vibe is exactly what you’d expect from a diner placed right in the heart of downtown Minneapolis."

"Even with a line we were seated within 10 minutes, food took a little while but it was worth the wait. Kids loved the pancak..."

"This little bohemian cafe just added a full kitchen and has expanded its menu a bit to include a burger and some fries and a few other options like a crunchy, tasty fried chicken sandwich ($11). The fries are hand-cut and tasty, and the space, in a historic building, is as pretty and light-filled as ever. Details: 308 E Prince St., St. Paul; 651-228-9274; blackdogstpaul.com"

"Black Dog Cafe is in a warehouse space in hoppin' Lowertown St. Paul across from the farmers' market. Grab a coffee before browsing the market, or enjoy your coffee inside and admire the work of local artists on the walls. The tasty food is a particularly good value during happy hour."

"Black: Coffee and Waffle Bar on Marshall is all waffles, all the time. No, seriously, that's about all you can get here (besides coffee, of course) from 7 a.m.-9 p.m."

"This Whittier spot is not a classic greasy spoon - nowhere with vegan options can be - but it is an Eat Street icon. Serving breakfast all day and happy hour specials in the evening, the Bad Waitress also emphasizes local and organic ingredients and sustainability in all aspects of the business. Order: the vegan vanilla milkshake (even if you're not vegan)."

"A post shared by PinKU Japanese Street Food (@pinkujapanese) on Feb 20, 2020 at 4:42pm PST. Okay, PinKU in Northeast Minneapolis might not be a traditional sushi place per say, but this spot is so delicious we had to include it. And hey, sushi is on the menu!"

Exuding a contemporary and welcoming ambiance, the casual café-style diner features a new age soda fountain and serves all-day breakfast, lunches, family-style dinners, and delicious desserts with a fresh, lighter approach. Focusing on freshness, local ingredient sourcing and seasonality, the menu features classic breakfast dishes such as eggs Benedict, omelets, and homemade pancakes as well as biscuits and gravy, pastrami hash, and chicken and waffles."

"They have the classics like omelets and pancakes, but what we love most about Eggy’s is their unique twists on our favorites. Try Eggy’s Benedict, which includes two mini waffles instead of an English muffin, or the Gyros Skillet. They also have something delicious called rolled pancakes, just sayin'."
