    Love this local neighborhood spot! I ordered an iced caramel coffee and the jalapeño queso scramble with potatoes. It was so good! I can't wait to have it again! The staff/barista's were very friendly. The place is cute and I love that they display local art for purchase! Can't wait to go back! If you haven't been, check it out!

    Was looking for a nice Sunday brunch option without a wait today and stumbled upon Gigi's! Plenty of free street parking on the surrounding blocks, and we were able to get seated right away--it's a counter-order place where you get a table number and they drop the food off to you, and the staff are all super kind and helpful, with great recommendations. We started with a mango lime coconut scone that was DELICIOUS--the exact right texture, and not too dry as some scones are. For my main, I got the curried vegetable hash, which was so fresh--the vegetables were perfectly cooked and seasoned, to where they still had a bit of bite to them and weren't drowned in seasoning. My eggs were a perfect over-easy, and the heritage grain toast and jam that came with it were packed with flavor! I also got a side of bacon and their deli salad, which was currently a chickpea-cucumber situation. The bacon was thick but still incredibly crispy, and the salad was great! The space itself is so welcoming--lots of great natural light, and the walls are positively FILLED with local art! I must've counted at least half a dozen artists with their own wall space. The perfect spot for brunch, on any day of the week!

    Love it! Several family members and I have recently been spending time in this adorable neighborhood, and Gigi's plays a big part in making it feel like a home. They have a lunch menu of salads and sandwiches available throughout the day, a breakfast menu available until 3pm, and a dinner menu in the evening. Lots of coffee drinks! Some very sweet ones! Also a display case is full of cookies and scones; we really liked the raisin cardamom scones. We've had great lentil soup and I just had a cool hot honey chicken sandwich. Very pleasant service from a high-energy crew. Order & pay at the front register and they'll bring it to your table. There's quite a lot of seating, indoors and out, but they can still be very busy so bear that in mind. They do have some adult beverages, some of which are available at a happy hour discount from 2pm to 5pm. I really like it here.

    Biscuit breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, and bacon

    This place is FANTASTIC! From their beverage menu to their hot food to their baked goods, everything is delicious. We both had their biscuit breakfast sandwich, my husband had his with bacon. The egg was luscious and the cheese was perfectly mixed throughout the egg. And that homemade biscuit was the best we've ever had. The baked goods were all very fresh and tasted amazing. We had scones and bear claws, we can't wait to go back!

    Cute little cafe!! Lots of coffee, breakfast, lunch, and snack options! Order at the counter and find a table. We came on a Monday at noon and it was rather empty. Good quiet place to study at this time. The baked goods all looked great, I'll have to try one next time. The breakfast burrito was really good and the perfect portion!! You can add bacon or sausage or avocado for an extra charge.

    Gigi's is a delicious breakfast spot. You order over the counter and the staff brings your food and beverages out to you. The service was kind, attentive, and quick. The food was reasonably priced and very delicious! The potatoes were amazing! It is nice that the cafe displays art from local artists. They also have outdoor space for the warmer months. Can't wait to go back soon!

    Super friendly staff! Lots of options of baked goods. Love the art work on the walls. The classic blueberry muffin and cinnamon rolls were super tasty.

    Seasonal Latte - iced

    Absolutely love certain breakfast items. Wish they had other bread and salad dressing options though. The dressing is very bitter, gingery. Sometimes I don't even get the dressing with the salad in my delivery order but thats ok bcuz i dont like it anyways. The chive scramble with potatos is the way to go but if u dont want this, over medium eggs and toast is always good. The drinks are really what get me cuz they have lots of fun beverages. This boosts the score from the problems had with service and the dressing.

    This is one of my favorite paintings ever to hang at Gigi's

    Gigi's is enchanting. This is my favorite neighborhood breakfast spot. It's also my favorite spot to meet for coffee. Each cup is consistently tasty (take a lesson, Lowbrow) and the servers are 100% sparkling souls to be treasured. Each one of them makes our visit feel special I also love that the walls are COVERED with the work of local artists. Kinda like a gallery, only cozy. There's even a little bio of each artist so you can follow their socials and see more of their work.

    We were visiting a friend in Minneapolis, who took us here for dinner. What a delightful surprise!…read moreThe atmosphere was super charming, everyone was really nice, our waiter was quirky and attentive, and the food was outstanding! We shared the Pan Roasted Hanger Steak, which was cooked perfectly at medium rare, the Deviled Eggs with lake superior whitefish roe, the Roasted Halloumi (which is a firm, brined Cypriot cheese we learned, which was delicious!) with badger flame beet glaze, celery-date-walnut salad, and lemon oil, and a plate of olives. The wine list was exceptional, as was the selection of after-dinner drinks. If I lived in Minneapolis, I could envision this becoming a favorite spot! So, so, so good!! Only one tiny suggestion ... the potatoes were perfect when we added just a little salt!

The service was genuinely friendly and pleasant throughout our visit, which went a long way. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting. I tried the NY Strip special, which was fine but nothing memorable - exactly what you'd expect, no more, no less. The oysters were disappointing for the price point; the quality just wasn't there. The mushroom bruschetta similarly underwhelmed - it felt like it was missing something to make it stand out. The bright spot? The drinks were solid and well-crafted. I wanted to rate this higher based on the atmosphere and service alone, but at the end of the day, the food has to deliver. With so many great options in Minneapolis, Nightingale needs to step up its culinary game to match its lovely setting. I'd consider returning for drinks, but probably not for dinner.
