MINNEAPOLIS + ST. PAUL GUIDE

A Restaraunts

Breakfast & Coffee

Roots Roasting

This place is across the street from the Mac House. Their coffee and teas are great. They have a few baked goods as well. Conveniently located for your stay.

Cafe Latte

Their cakes. Are. Amazing. SO maybe they should be in the dessert category? Or maybe you should have cake for breakfast!

Spyhouse Coffee

There are a few locations and all of them are really beautiful. Tasty warm drinks and appropriate pick me up for all your caffeine needs.

Hope Breakfast Bar

The owners of this place are really cool. They give back a lot in the community. They also have very delightful pancakes (Umm what, German Chocolate Pancakes??) and their chicken & waffles are pretty great too, along with a ton of other things.

Keys Cafe

It's a Twin Cities institution. Great breakfasts. Lots of baked goods. Multiple locations.

Cafe Astoria

While you wait to get into Hope Breakfast Bar..

Buttered Tin

You can’t go wrong with the downtown St. Paul staple. Great breakfast.

Coffee Cup

Wonderful breakfast. It’s like a St. Paul tradition I think.

Food for the Rest of the Day

The Handsome Hog

You start walking up to this place and you will understand. Delicious smoked meats for all.

Revival

Great fried chicken. Surprisingly good burgers, also.

Brasa Rotisserie

Locally sourced, quality ingredients. Seriously stick to your ribs satisfying!

Red Cow

Incredible burgers. Try any of them. Their Ahi Crisps are delightful as well.

Cecil’s Delicatessen

The best Reuben's in Minnesota. A couple versions, all amazing. Great baked goods. Great malts. All around a good place for a bite to eat!

Cosetta’s

Italian food and pizza in a deli counter setting. St. Paul staple since 1911. Bakery, gelato shop, and Italian market under the same roof. You won't be sorry you chose Cosetta's.

Casper & Runyon's the Nook

Arguably the best Juicy Lucy (regional favorite, cheese stuffed burger) in the Twin Cities. Great wings and cheese curds, too!

Sonder Shaker

A new restaurant in Minneapolis. They have the best burger we have ever had in Minnesota. Do yourself a favor and try it. And get the brussel sprouts. These are grown up and tasty as heck.

Pizza Luce

My (Tanya’s) Favorite place for pizza in the Twin Cities. High quality ingredients. Tasty crust. Lots of good variations (umm a mashed potato pizza..). You can’t go wrong!

Red Wagon Pizza

There is a good reason this place has been on Diners Drive-ins & Dives. It’s incredible.

Hmong Village

Want something way different? Check this place out. It’s hard to explain. It is ONLY for the adventurous. You may very likely get lost in here, but the food you find is so good.

Holyland

If you like Guy Fieri’s Diners Drive-ins & Dives, you will love this place, he put his stamp of approval on it! They have cones of meat and the best hummus ever. If you are the adventurous type, go here, order food, eat then wander into the attached grocery store for a new experience!

Christos

If you like Greek food you are in for a TREAT. We found out this place is on Yelp Top 100 in the US and for a good reason. Their gyro meat is the best I have ever tasted and everything else on the menu is great too. I mean, who doesn’t love flaming cheese, OPA! Finish your meal off with a Cherry Pie which is NOT a piece of pie. It’s a grown up and magnificent version of a Toaster Strudel. My mouth waters anytime I think of it.

emQue Viet

This place has amazing egg rolls, wontons, lo mein and beautiful drinks! They have state fair famous (it’s a thing here in MN) garlic cream cheese wontons that you maaaay dream about after you get an order. Catch their happy hour for a good deal on them!

A Treats

Ice Cream & Treats

Sebastian Joe’s

The best Oreo ice cream I have ever had. We just keep going back. Multiple locations and some of the local restaurants carry it on their own dessert menu’s.

Treats Cereal Bar & Boba

This place is new and it's incredible. They use vanilla soft serve and magically mix in cereal for a really fun treat. It is worth it, we promise.

Nadia Cakes

Get a dozen and cut all of them in halves or quarters. Share. Everything is amazing there. They have won lots of awards for a reason. Not sure why they chose Minnesota to branch out to, but we appreciate it!

T-Rex Cookies

1/2 Pound Cookies. So much gooey goodness. Try their Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Chip. Get extras.

Traditional Bars

Sweeney’s Saloon

Conveniently located by the Hart House. Perfect little local bar to have some drinks with friends.

Tom Reid’s Hockey City Pub

If you’re coming for St. Patrick’s Day, a hockey game or a concert, this is a great place to stop!

Seventh Street Truck Park

Downtown St. Paul. Interesting vibe. Good drinks.

Sidebar at Surdyk’s

In the summer this place is open to the outside elements. Super cool design. Amazing craft cocktails.

The Vegas Lounge

Karaoke bar. Such good people watching at a place like this. Stuff drinks. Bring cash. Have fun.

1029 Bar

Karaoke bar. Some of the best camaraderie that comes with drunk singing. Worth a visit.

Breweries & Distilleries

Check times on their websites. Some closed on Monday’s & Tuesday’s**
