Quality has definitely gone down since opening . . . Don't usually like to leave bad reviews and…read morewant to really like this place, but not very impressed every time I visit. On slow days, they are not efficient with orders and staff can be rude if you ask why you've been waiting 20min for your drink. Espresso drinks are better than their matcha drinks - it's quite bitter despite sweetener. I got the Banhmi Ni and despite it looking like it had been panini pressed, the meat inside was very cold, near frozen . . . There was hair another time in my pesto chicken panini. Kept the 3rd star because they are never short of tables and have plenty of outlets to be able to do work if you need to. Not sure if the food/drinks are worth these prices though.

Street parking was easy, greeted as soon as we got there and it kept going uphill till the end. Servers make you feel so welcome and the food, oh, the delicious food!

Came in here this weekend on a whim, and all I can say is WOW! Wasn't sure what to expect, but I…read morewas surprised to find fair pricing, extraordinary customer service, and a lively atmosphere. Reservations aren't even needed; you can basically stop in any time. If you're going to splurge on food in this area, this is the ONLY place to go. You can basically get your whole meal here for just nickels and dimes. The friendly community ambiance really makes you feel as though you're just hanging out and shooting the breeze. The White Monsters found here are of a particularly fine vintage. Though the management's choice is understandable, only improvement would be to include alcoholic options. 10/10 would recommend.

I always recommended it, if anyone's craving Matcha, a little pick me up, or a sweet treat. Service is always amazing. They are so happy to help and excited to see you. The owner is also so kind and so involved, it's amazing seeing café owned by a woman doing so well!! The hours it's the only thing that I would complain about, just because if it was up to me, I would want them open 24/7. I would double check their hours before coming. Also check their socials too, they do new flavors very often!! Parking on Grand Ave is always a little bit of a mess. But this place is so worth it!

Mango coconut was very good but I wish I would've gotten low sweetness level. Honey double matcha was perfect at regular sweetness. Super super super nice staff and cute place!

Great food and generous portions! They take the care of making it fresh, but still get it out quick.read more

This place was pretty good! We were visiting from out of town and meeting up with some friends, and…read morethis place was convenient and in the area. The food is good and pretty simple. It wasn't quite as punchy as the name La Fusion Cafe implies, but it was a nice and easy meal. I did leave a little hungry, though. The locale is very very casual, with just a couple of small tables. I'm assuming that people mostly take their food here to go. It's also in an office building, so it would make sense for that. The gentleman behind the counter was very sweet and helpful. Overall, this is a nice place to get a quick, easy, and healthy lunch on the go.

The food was amazing, hospitality was cozy, atmosphere was relaxing to be in. Their menu has much more we will need to return to try. They have an additional location in Minneapolis and a spot at the MN State Fair every year! I'm most eager to get back here to try breakfast soon! Brunch / breakfast is my love language. This place was perfect for the dinner atmosphere we needed on a cold MN evening. It would also be a great pick for date night. The things we tried and you should too: Chicken Wild Rice Soup (10/10) Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich (with the Maple Chipotle Glaze) Almond Encrusted Walleye Redemption Burger their fries were also a bit hit at our table Basically we loved this place and can't wait to try more items from them For more awesome food spots check out the account mallorymademetryitmn on Instagram!

It's much quieter around then which was nice because in the evenings, it can get very loud which makes it hard to have a conversation. I enjoyed a pistachio latte, my partner a mimosa. We each got our own main - him a burrito, myself a breakfast bowl (both delicious) - and split a corn pancake. We had plenty of leftovers to bring home. The selection is better at the Minneapolis location, but the St. Paul location has its own charm and still plenty of options for people who are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. There's something here for everyone.

Though they have a salad and falafel plate on the menu the cook said he would make me a "Veg Philly Cheese" sandwich. My boyfriend got the actual Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. Both were SUPER good. Mine was melty and cheesy and the bread was fresh and soft. Why only a 3.5? the place is a little unimpressive, would be a great 'after bar' stop. It was ok for lunch, the place could look nicer. And the cook told me I would "lose my legs!" because I didn't eat meat. WTF? I would still go back for the calorie laden sandwiches.

Since it seemed to by a gyro/pizza place, I thought I could also get fallafel and the like. All they seemed to have that was vegetarian were the salads and a hummus plate. So I had a Greek salad, which was large and good, and the hummus plate, which was smaller than the picture on the menu board. Both were good, but the fact that the choices were pretty limited, and a bit of shakiness apparently due to new ownership keeps 7th St Bistro at 3 stars. The stencil on the window said desserts too, but due to the new ownership, they hadn't brought in baklava or any other dessert options as of my visit, which disappointed me :(
