    French Toast and Chicken Noodle Soup in my bowl
    Kathleen K.

    My first recommendation is to come with a group of 6, then you could try all or most of the menu. There are so many great choices. My second is to be careful with the crunchy chili paste - too much and your eyes water. We came for brunch on my birthday. Just the two of us who ate way more than we should have and bought even more to take home. Guava Mimosa - very good, slightly sour Lemonade - excellent French Toast - excellent and much lighter than it looks Sweet Pork Bowl - great flavors and love the sticky rice Chicken Noodle Soup - a cross between Pho and soup and the best thing on the menu. The broth really makes this special. Peach Lychee Pavlova - a cloud of baked meringue with lychee sorbet, lychees and peaches Coconut Pandan Croissant - very good, hard to taste the coconut Mango Croissant - filled with the slightly sour mango custard Everything is beautifully presented. Service by Amanda was excellent. Really an exceptional meal. My picky eater husband loved every bite. Parking takes a little patience.

    Hmong sausage

    Diane's has and continues to win numerous awards for a reason. I was lucky enough to lock in a Friday dinner reservation after weeks of trying and I can safely say it did not disappoint. My husband and I have done brunch here before and have been so excited to finally nab a coveted weekend dinner rezzie. The space is expanding which is incredible and will get more people in the door to experience Diane's in all its glory. We ordered: Mini scallion croissants Papaya noodle salad Steamed Pork rolls Pulled pork (must get) - also fun fact the bamboo is from chef Diane's family fam in SC Hmong sausage (must get) Castella cake We absolutely loved everything we ordered and were a little sad we didn't have more people with us to order the whole menu to try everything (too bad we will have to go back ) Our server Tiff was a rockstar. She was so knowledgeable and funny and truly one of the best servers we've had. The entire staff was outstanding and goes to show why this spot not for just the food, but from top to bottom deserves all their accolades.

    Hmong sausage on the side. Savory, slightly sweet, and packed with flavor. A great way to round out the meal.

    Not that Diane's Place needs another great review, but it's absolutely earned. I had the chance to attend a private event here a while back and knew I needed to come back. This time it was an early Saturday brunch, and the place was packed--inside, the patio, everywhere. Fortunately I found a seat at the bar. At my server's recommendation, I ordered the Sweet Pork Bowl with a side of Hmong sausage, and it was outstanding. This is the kind of restaurant where every ingredient has a purpose. Every flavor stands out, every texture works together, and every bite makes you slow down and enjoy it. It's one of those meals where you catch yourself closing your eyes just to take it all in. The service was friendly and efficient despite how busy they were, and the atmosphere has a great energy without feeling rushed. Diane's Place continues to impress, and it's definitely a restaurant I'll keep coming back to.

    Fantastic brunch! My friend and I had a Monday off work and we were lucky enough to get a reservation for brunch. We got the a few different things to share and everything was delicious! The highlight for me was the pastries, especially the coconut pandan croissant. Our server was great and explained the menu and made a couple recommendations. The place was packed for a Monday morning but we were able to get street parking with no issues!

    I've been wanting to visit for a while and lucky me, I got to go for brunch twice this month. The food both times was really good. Dianes Hmong Sausage - if you add the egg you can have it prepared anyway, I went for over medium. Crab Ragoon Danish- it was good, but for me the concentration of filling in the center made some bites a bit poweful. Asian Chicken Noodle Soup- that broth is amazing. It's rich and hearty (not at all watery). Thai Tea French Toast- my friend and I shared, this along with everything listed below. Its so good and 1pc was more than enough. Also, I'm not a raspberry fan, but that tartness went so well with sweetness. Vegetable Spring Rolls- tasty and the peanut sauce reminded me more of a sweet and sour sauce which I liked. Crab Omelette- I only had a bite, but the egg light, the sauce rich and creamy, and the greens had a bit of mint that was a nice touch. Pan Fried Bean Thread Noodle - I was so stuffed, but the few bites were good. It was a little saucy, and the sauce a bit powerful. I don't know if was fish sauce or something else. I normally like fish sauce, but if that's what it didn't work for me here. Other things to note: Parking - I found myself having to spin the block for a bit to find a spot. No biggie, but keep that in mind as you plan your commute. Entrance - I noticed 3 doors along 14th Ave, one is for the To-Go section, the other two are for the Dine-in, which includes bar seating, table seating inside and outside. Service - both times, servers were overall polite. With the second visit I noticed the waiter focused a lot on my friend, how she enjoyed her meal (didn't ask me), facing her only when introducing himself and explaining the specials. And no he wasn't being flirtatious, just selective perhaps. Anyway, I'd definitely recommend it and look forward to returning to try dinner sooner than later.

    2025 food and wine best restaurant. We had to try it. Unfortunately they are doing road construction in the neighborhood so parking can be tricky. Inside atmosphere has great vibes and great energy. There is a lot going on in a small space. Service and staff were all very friendly and helpful. Order: Thai tea. Delicious. Just like you would want and expect. Macha latte cold. Great flavor. Nice balance of flavor. Not too sweet. Scallion danish. Probably my favorite bite. Crispy and airy texture with good flavor. Just the smell alone had my taste buds dancing. Sesame balls. Nice crispy exterior with chewy soft inside. The star of the dish was the creamy caramel sauce... it was perfect. Thai tea French toast. Worth the hype and the calories. Perfect crisp exterior with flavorful soft chewy interior. Definitely a destination dish. Hmong sausage with added egg. Delicious flavor in the sausage. Egg was perfectly cooked with runny yolk. The dish definitely needed the homemade house sweet and sour sauce that had hints of lemongrass. Overall dish was good to try for the first time. Chicken noodle soup. Winner winner chicken dinner. Just a delicious bowl of food. Great flavors and textures and chew from the noodles. The stars of the dish were the rich broth and the crispy chicken skin. Definitely would order again. Pan fried bean thread noodles with added crispy chicken. Great balance of flavors with a nice hint of spice. Another definite order again dish. Overall: Great experience and lived up to the hype. The food was delicious but sometimes getting a table or reservation can be challenging. The Protip is to just get the pastries to go. They were all extraordinary and worth every calorie!

    The pastries are a must here! The flavoring is very light, but still impactful. They may seem odd and unconventional with SEA/tropical flavorings, but TRUST! The balance is so well done. My mother's favorite is the mango, passion fruit, and lychee croissant! I don't think the Thai tea toast lives up to the hype - it was more of a brioche french toast than it was thai tea flavored. Best to eat right away and warm though! The savory dishes are a hit or miss. This is definitely catered towards a western palate and I would say more Hmong-American fusion. The red duck stew was new and really good! Staff is very kind and thoughtful. They check-up on you regularly, but did not seem overwhelming! I'm glad they expanded too - the new seating area is very aesthetic. Would recommend making a reservation though - wait times can be up to 1h+ without it, especially on the weekends.

    We came here while visiting Minneapolis. Our friend made a reservation a month in advance. The food was OK, but the pastries were AMAZING. Our server was very friendly and attentive.

    We got the red curry duck stew and Diane's Hmong sausage and sticky rice. Both were really good. I really enjoyed and would recommend the red curry duck stew-- I loved the eggplants and bamboo throughout and the duck meat was very tender. The curry was flavorful but not too salty which I do feel like lots of Asian American/fusion dishes can become around here in Minnesota. The Hmong sausage was well seasoned and grilled and paired well with the sticky rice. The sausage reminds me of Taiwanese sausage but is heftier and more substantial. It was cool to be at the bar and see into the kitchen. Service was very quick overall and the bartenders gave some great suggestions for drinks. Tom kha lemonade - refreshing, somewhere between a tom kha soup and key lime pie almost. Was debating between this and the 3Leches botanical drinks (maybe one of these another time!) Overall would come back again but perhaps only on days when we are okay with splurging it a bit more. ;) The outside was nice but today was a bit too humid so it was nice we were able to get a seat inside. Definitely would be back when in the Cities for their cafe next door when they hopefully have more of their specialty pastries in stock (we eyed the coconut pandan croissant but they were out! Got some of the scallion danishes though excited to try those!)

    We were in Minneapolis for the weekend and ended up coming here twice, that should tell you everything! We started with brunch and had an amazing experience. The space was much bigger than I expected; they use a back area as well, which isn't as posh, but the service and food were still really good. For brunch we ordered the Thai tea French toast and the Hmong sausage. The portions were generous, my husband and I left completely stuffed. Our waiter convinced us to come back for dinner the next day, and we're glad he did. Brunch was still my favorite, but dinner held its own. Definitely worth a visit for both!

    Sausage egg and cheese croissant
    Darren L.

    Had a beautiful and very fulfilling brunch. FYI- get a reservation! We had to book out several weeks because they were all full. The main dining area is low lit and has an elegant feel. (All tables were full and once one emptied, it was quickly turned over.) We had heard rave reviews about a few items and so we ordered a few main dishes to share: Thai tea French toast, the (Hmong) sausage egg and cheese croissant sandwich, and the sweet pork bowl with sticky rice. Everything was very delicious and super filling -- thankful for the take home boxes! My favorite of the three was sweet pork bowl (I prefer savory) but the French toast was SO. GOOD. and really blew me away. I cannot recommend that enough! Took home several pastries as well, including the almond croissant (very sweet) and the green scallion danish (tastes like garlic bread!). Get a reservation and check it out!

    Backstory may have the most beautiful coffee shop interior I've ever been in…read more The second I walked in, I actually laughed because it felt way too gorgeous to be "just" a coffee shop. The soaring industrial ceilings, massive windows pouring in natural light, dark wood shelving, plants everywhere, books, artwork, vintage decor, and incredible lighting somehow make the whole place feel both grand and peaceful. It's the kind of space where you immediately want to cancel your plans and spend the entire afternoon reading, working, or simply existing. Every direction you look feels thoughtfully designed. One thing I couldn't find online beforehand was whether there would be places to plug in my laptop. Thankfully, there are plenty of outlets, making it a fantastic place to work. Even better, despite its size, the atmosphere stays calm and quiet. It never felt loud or chaotic. The drinks were excellent. I tried the Lime Creamsicle Iced Matcha and later ordered a hot matcha, complete with a beautiful heart poured into the milk. I especially appreciated that they use what tasted like genuine, high-quality matcha rather than the overly sweet, filler-heavy mixes that so many coffee shops rely on. You can absolutely taste the difference. I also picked up two pastries: an artichoke and cheese croissant (I think it was Gouda?) and the coffee cake. Both were delicious, but that coffee cake deserves its own paragraph. It was huge, incredibly moist and rich, and served in a large paper liner almost like an oversized cupcake. I'd happily go back just for that. If I had one wish, it would simply be for the menu to match the creativity of the space. The coffee, tea, and espresso selections felt a bit limited considering how unique everything else is. This seems like the perfect place to experiment with fun specialty drinks and elevated touches. Imagine pink peppercorn on a cortado, mint dust on a cappuccino, unique flavored cold foams, rotating seasonal teas, or other creative finishes. The environment practically begs for a menu that's just as imaginative. The staff interaction was fine but didn't really stand out. When I asked whether they recommended the Lime Creamsicle Matcha, the response was basically, "I mean... it tastes like a lime creamsicle." It wasn't unfriendly, just not especially engaging. The prices are definitely on the higher end, but between the stunning atmosphere, quality ingredients, and excellent pastries, I'd happily return. Backstory isn't just somewhere to grab coffee. It's somewhere you want to linger. If you're looking for one of the most beautiful, calming coffee shops in Minneapolis, this belongs at the top of your list.

While I didn't recognize 90% of them, I still thought it was great, especially for those interested in something new. So here are my thoughts on everything I had. Zio Vecchio - i really liked the pistachio pesto, the cheese kept slipping out, for those unfamiliar with "mortadella" it's thinly shaved pork (think deli meat) mixed with other things. All Around the World (N/A) - was concerned about the vinegar, and komboucha, but neither was overpowering. instead it was a well balanced and refreshing drink. Panna Cotta - always wanted to try this. there's had blueberries and toasted coconut flakes which gave a nice texture. Tiramisu - heavy on the alcohol but delish In all it was lovely experience and I'm glad to have visited.

Good lighting and not too loud. They have all of the usual coffee options as well as several of their own concoctions. They have pastries as well as more hearty options like breakfast burritos, although when we went they were out of burritos, probably because we were there so late. They have several gluten free items, and vegan items. It looks like everything that can be sourced locally is local, and they have the providers listed on the menu. They are obviously very socially and environmentally conscious. The servers were very friendly. I had a cold press with cream which was excellent, exactly what I hoped it would be, good coffee flavor. Next time I would probably ask for less cream, but it is real cream. I also had the morning bun which was very good. It was like a cinnamon roll that was also rolled in cinnamon and sugar on the outside.

The barista quickly assembled my large maple latte in an orange-yellow mug with that apple fritter that was calling my name, plus a large breakfast burrito. The burrito was more like an enclosed panini with sides of salsa and sour cream. While I ate 2/3rds of it, I cannot say that I enjoyed it all that much, especially for the $13 price.

I had a hard time selecting a place to sit since I wanted to sit in many of the places. The staff was amazing! I ordered a cortado for here, and it was perfect and gorgeous. I ended up spilling it all over the floor (totally my fault). I went up to order a new one (planning to pay because again..my fault!) and the staff refused to let me pay and even brought me my new drink to the table I was at. Talk about customer service! It was my fault I spilled it and they would not let me help clean it up or buy a new one. Consider me a fan of this place!

It gets an incredible amount of natural light, which makes it a pleasant place to spend some time. I also loved that it's dog friendly. The seating, however, is a bit of a mixed bag. There's a decent amount of it, but it's not really comfortable and it feels like there's plenty of room to add more seating throughout the space. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made for a great first impression. The menu is a little limited, but what I had was excellent. I ordered the light roast coffee and it was super good. I was also happy to see they carry Cardigan Donuts. If you have not had one before, they are absolutely worth trying! The biggest drawback for me was the WiFi. It was so unreliable that it made getting work done almost impossible, which is a pretty significant downside for a coffee shop. Overall, I enjoyed the coffee, the atmosphere, and the friendly staff, but the limited menu, somewhat uncomfortable seating, and especially the poor WiFi kept this from becoming one of my go to coffee shops.
