The experience at this restaurant is weird. Show up at 11am - you'll have a line out the door. That is understandable, as it's peak brunch time. You talk to the front desk, and they'll tell you there's an hour wait if you don't have a reservation. You look around and see open tables. You think: "that's odd". You check on the website and it says you can get a reservation for 15, 30, and 45 minutes from now. You select a reservation for 15 minutes from now, and magically there isn't an hour wait for you anymore. You note the still open tables and the line not moving. The restaurant is very loud. They're doing late 2010's industrial chic with not a soft surface in site and garage doors, so everybody's conversation bounces around indefinitely. You wait a while for a server to come. I find the way the food looks when it arrives is always different than the way it sounds when you read the menu - sometimes for better, and sometimes for worse. The coffee and bar menu is pretty decent for a brunch place. Prices are on the high end, though some are more reasonable than others. Then you get hit with a 3% credit card fee which isn't adequately disclosed on the menu or when you enter the restaurant. read more

After a morning hike we searched for a place nearby to place an online order for pickup. We were excited to find out that Hope Breakfast Bar had an Eagan location! We were able to quickly and easily place an order for a couple of lattes and brunch bowls. The place had a a lot of cool artwork and plenty of inside seating and even a patio! Our brunch bowls were so good we forgot to take pictures. They were a good portion size with lots of flavor. I got the banana bread latte which was very good but I wish it would have been a little hotter. Hoping to be back soon to try a sit down experience! read more

I stopped in for breakfast on Cinco de Mayo and got the Taco bowl. The tortilla bowl was fried crispy and filled with a mixture of egg, chorizo, black beans, green onions, and tomatoes. I wish there had had been a little more egg in the dish. It felt a little unbalanced with too much chorizo. It was tasty, but the ratio of the toppings was such that all I really tasted was the chorizo and everything that was mixed in was overpowered by the spicy meat. Despite that, I like this spot for breakfast, and our server was attentive and quick. read more

Fabulous food, interesting combos such as pimento cheese scrambled eggs, and confetti pancakes, good coffee, and great service.

I've gone to a couple other locations and it's never a first choice place for me. But I can see how it appeals to others. Had a sister's brunch today and the celebrant sister chose Hope Breakfast Bar. Another sister and I were like darn, it was the choice lowest on the list for both of us. But on our drive there, we decided we'd both try something that we typically wouldn't try to see if it changed our views. I tried the breakfast sandwich. It was decent, not anything I'd ever crave. The bacon overpowered everything else, even the everything bagel! She did the egg farm grazer which was vegetables and quinoa topped with an egg. She said it was fine as well. Both of our meals were on par with previous experiences. Our two other sisters chose some sort of waffle. One was the hope waffle which was good, standard waffle with fruit. The other was chicken and waffles, the taste is decent but the portion was surprisingly large! 4 pieces of chicken with the waffle! As we finished with our meals, I was happy that we weren't disappointed with our food, so that was a win! But they watch your time so carefully. The moment we were sitting for 90 mins on the dot, they asked us to go. So if you're looking for a place to catch up with someone, don't let it be here! read more

I want to like this place. I guess I like it, I don't love it. This location is NOISY. Nothing dampens the sound. Difficult for the servers to hear you or have a conversation without feeling like you're screaming. If you get anything with cheese, beware they put about a pound of cheese on your food. I scraped some off of the meal I had and it was still plenty cheesy. I got the blackened cauliflower gratin. It was ok. Super cheese aside, it barely had any seasoning or flavor. I didn't expect it to be burnt, but when you call something blackened, it should be seasoned. At least the hashbrowns are delicious. Hubs had the hot honey chicken sandwich, which I was also eyeing. Looked good, but the biscuit was huge. I probably would have dumped half. Coffee bar is also good here. read more

Really wanted to love this place. Was leery going here after all the bad press, related to fraud and them shutting down their nonprofit. It's a local business though and wanted to give them a try to support local. After visiting I can say my opinion is neutral but given the recent press I'll be taking my business elsewhere. Chicken and waffles were a nice portion size and a hit with my teenager. 2 maple syrup Options (jalapeño and plain). No sides included but not really needed due to the ample portion size. Hashbrowns - ordered a side and was disappointed. Soft almost mushy in the middle the outside not crispy enough. Avocado toast - I didn't want the fried avocado so asked for fresh sliced instead and they easily accommodated my request. Served w two poached eggs cooked perfectly. Order didn't come out at once, waffles were served and several minutes later the avocado toast which requires minimal cooking came out. Served w a side of fruit, which seemed a bit old as the blueberries were mushy. Upon completing our meal I tried to find our server to pay the bill she dropped off. She was busy at the espresso machine for several minutes so I went to the hostess to see if we could pay. She went and told our server who came by a few minutes later to check us out. That process could have been better, we waited an awful long time to leave. Overall the food was tasty but a bit overpriced and service was slow and inattentive. 2.5 stars read more

I tried their gluten free buttermilk pancakes. I would suggest the owners and staff taste one. They are horrible! With celiac for over 10 years, I have tried many gluten free pancakes at restaurants and by far these are the worst! Tough, dough, and no favor. Rubbery is a good description of them. ​ read more

Met my son here for brunch and coffee and was so happy we picked this place! We started with the cottage bruschetta toast and it was fresh, tasty and a hug portion. For our main we had biscuits and grave and the smoked salmon pimiento cheesy eggs special. The food here comes in huge portions and it is always hot and fresh. We each had coffee that was so great, I bought a bag of beans to grind at home. So good! Our server was so professional and friendly. The interior is decorated so nicely and so inviting.

A group of six gals and I went to hope breakfast bar In Eagan. It was great. Service was great, our waitress was patient and knowledgeable! We all got a round of cocktails including an espresso martini which was fab. My friend liked their spicy Bloody Mary. For food the tostada and blacked cauliflower were a hit. Breakfast sandwiches were enjoyed, next time I'll ask for my bacon to be a bit crispier on my sandwich. The cheesy French toast was the only item that didn't meet expectations, it was too cheesy! To be fair I think our patient waitress noticed this and took it off my friends bill which was nice! Overall I'd be back, we weren't rushed like some other hope bar locations. We made reservations about one week ahead a time. read more

Responding to your request for feedback regarding our dining at your Eagan restaurant, I would like to express our deep regret for our dining experience. My husband had the avocado toast, which had a small piece of avocado mixed with some avocado paste. Really? I had the tostada which I would classify as a typical suburban attempt to pass as acceptable. The portions were subpar and six dollars for a cup of coffee was very impressive to say the least. We only saw our server when she gave us menus, took our order, returned with the food and gave us the check when we had to flag her down. There was no return for water. I got up and got that for myself and for my husband. I will say the server did seem to enjoy speaking with her coworkers at length and sharing the photos on her phone with them in the back prep area. This was our first time there and it will be our last. We'll go out of our way to let friends, family members and neighbors know of our experience. Most service providers can have an appreciation for pricing / margin enhancement, but yours was over the top. Please feel free to share our review with Sarah & Brian Ingram. read more

We made a reservation for two a few days ago for a 10:30am Saturday brunch spot and I am glad we did! This is a very popular place on the weekends, I highly recommend making a reservation early. We order drip coffee that came in an adorable Stanley carafe. I ordered the cottage bruschetta toast with scrambled egg and bacon and WOW! That was a lot of food! The tomato cucumber bruschetta was the best part. I had never had it on cottage cheese but it was a great way to start the weekend. My fiancé had the avocado toast with the poached egg and again, SO much food. We could not be a part of the clean plate club, but in the best way. The restaurant was crowded but there were plenty of staff to bounce around and clear plates. The location is in a semi-strip mall across from Eagan high school. The parking lot gets FULL so allow for some time to find a spot. Highly recommend this location, a great brunch spot in the south suburbs! read more

I came to hope breakfast bar with my brother, It reminded me so much of my favorite brunch spots in the east coast. The service was on top of things and very friendly. She helped us decide what would be best suited for our palates. I landed on the carnitas bowl, my brother went for the chicken and waffles. He loved the waffles, the chicken was cooked very well, seasoned well and with the addition of some hot sauce hit the spot. I enjoyed my bowl as well it tasted like sitting next to the fire place on a snowy day. Everyone at Hope seemed to be enjoying time with their loved ones, it was a comfortable eating experience. Glad we made a reservation though, it was busy when we arrived! read more

I'd been to the Hope's Breakfast Bar in St Paul and was excited to have one closer to home for me now with this one in Eagan. Mainly I was excited to be able to find parking more easily if I'm being honest ;) The location is great, there is a parking lot which made me excited after my experience going to the St Paul one, and it was a nice space inside. Volume inside is a bit on the noisy side but nothing we couldn't work around in having a conversation. The service was fantastic with a server who knew the menu well, made recommendations on items including slight modifications that worked well, and he was genuinely excited about his work and providing great service. The food was fantastic! Flavorful and perfectly prepared, it came out hot from the kitchen, the coffee comes in a retro Stanley thermos which was a cool touch! For breakfast we both had the Sunrise Chili Crunch Bowl which was fantastic! It came with the option of carnitas but we both decided to get it without. It was very tasty with great ingredients and we both got it with a poached egg instead of scrambled (highly recommend so you get that runny yolk in there!). I also ordered a short stack of buttermilk pancakes and they were fantastic! Soft and fluffy and great flavor as well! The experience was wonderful from the accessibility of the restaurant at this location, the service and the many choices on Hope's menu, and the quality of the food! Will be back many times I'm sure ;) read more

I had a delicious and inviting experience at this location as soon as you walked in the door (: Our order consisted of trying the cinnamon waffles, pancakes, and pork belly/biscuit/cheesy grit plate. Drinks shared were lemonade and a seasonal latte drink. Everything tasted was equally tasty, but the pork belly and cheesy grits were to die for. Everything was served with a smile and details were noted. I was quite impressed with our experience! Thanks! read more

This is a place my husband and I have been to a few times. We like the unique breakfast options (he loves pancakes and they have a fun variety). The food has always been good and fresh. The latte is a favorite of mine! Ambiance is cute, they have decor and indoor outdoor seating. Tables are spread out so you have space and don't feel like you're on top of everyone else. One item we have consistently been let down with is the service. Each time we have went the servers are very busy, rarely check in and are a bit short with us. The food helps make up for it but this has happened each time we have gone (they have a Saint Paul location and their service has always been on point). I am only speaking to the Eagan location. The service is why I can't give 5 stars for this location. read more

Every time a Grand Slam! Our first visit to the Eagan Hope! What I love most about this place is everything on their menu sounds like I'd want to try it! today we had the Blackened Cauliflower and fried eggs and the Carrot Cake pancakes. Also, who knew Kahlua amd Mocha paired so well! The open seating does lend itself to a cacophony of sound so I wouldn't say it was intimate, but it's a great place with great energy and perfect for a Saturday morning brekkie with friends. The staff were outstanding and the food came in around 10-15 minutes of ordering!! Make sure to get a reservation. People that just showed up were told it was an hour wait! We'll definitely be back. So many things we want to try!! read more

This is my first time visiting the Eagan establishment, and my experience was actually a lot better than the one in Saint Louis Park, which I think might have been elevated by the fact that this spot wasn't nearly as packed as the Saint Louis Park one, either because my friends and I arrived after 1pm, or there were just fewer people around the area in general. I am rating this establishment a 5 while maintaining my 4 rating for the Saint Louis Park one from earlier. In my other review, I mentioned that I would give the food itself a 3, but other factors like their cute "believe in breakfast" slogan, the hospitable service, their various kinds of coffee, and their ability to keep up with so many customers with such a large menu and their food variety. Well all these other factors remained at this Eagan location, and what I ordered this time tasted very good as well, so a 5 all around. The stuffed poblano was the only staff choice that I had not tasted yet, and if the fried chicken and waffles used to be my favorite, then this would be my new favorite. The egg, cheese, poblano pepper, and hashbrown combination actually make the dish taste a bit "huevos racheros"-ish, especially if one adds carnitas and then add hot sauce on top of it. The variety of texture and flavors makes this dish a very pleasant experience. I also had a unicorn mimosa this time, and fully enjoyed the process of pouring champagne into red and blue cotton candy, and seeing the liquid turning purple entirely which was very visually appealing! Based on these two, my experience here was nothing short of amazing, honestly. I have included a few photos from the Saint Louis Park location as well, and my review from that location would critically explain what my assessment of those items were. But like I said, stuffed poblano is my new favorite now after trying it today! read more

The food was rather pricey, fair warning, deff a boutique place. The monkey pancakes were sickening rich, great if you have a sweet tooth, on top of being massive. It's definitely a place you go for more vibes and popularity than food itself. It was slammed the Sunday we went, which, being a religious based place, makes sense. Our waitress was amazing even tho she was constantly busy taking care of others. read more

I was VERY impressed with this breakfast place! Blew my socks off ! Highly recommend ! So many choices ! And the service there are super informative ! We have been here about three times in the last year and never have ever been satisfied the potions are large so I do recommend shareable plates and have an add on to your meals like a side of bacon or sow thing.

Hope was one of my favorite brunch spots of 2024! I can't believe I'd never been there before. I went to the Eagan location with a friend and we both LOVED it.

Hope Breakfast Bar is one of my favorite places in Eagan! I enjoy stopping in for a quick coffee before work during the week, or grabbing brunch on the weekends.

I've had great experiences sitting at both the table and bar. The parking lot is free, but can sometimes be fairly busy on the weekends.

Heard great things about this breakfast spot and stopped in! Exceptional experience!! The restaurant is spacious and bright and our server, Charley, was as congenital as could be! That greeting and attitude is a great start to a new restaurant visitation! For us, coffees, a Mimosa and Bloody set the tone for the menu review. The coffee set upon your table is in a Thermos jug like a workman's but fun and very capable of keeping it hot! The menu is wide and deep. However I was looking for eggs with sausage and pancakes but the aimed their food targets slightly higher. My wife chose the Hope Breakfast Biscuit, and I dove into the deep end, with the Pineapple Upsidedown French Toast! With shredded coconut and a caramel syrup sprinkled with walnuts!!! Everything is delicious and hot, and with Charley, delivered with a smile! Next time I won't go as heavy as the French Toast, but it was a delightful excursion into guilt!! read more

After raving about hope breakfast in Saint Paul my sister and I decided to try the Eagan location and unfortunately this flopped for us.... There is plenty of free parking which is a huge plus since the Saint Paul location does not. The vibes walking in were pretty but not as well done as the Saint Paul location. The service here was fast and friendly! The staff did a great job! Everyone we encountered had a smile and was very welcoming! The food: This is where they lost the stars for me. The hash browns were good but not very warm. The bone in chicken and waffles was not very good... the meat was old tasting and overall did not taste good. The waffle was just ok and the gravy had almost a chemically taste to it. I may have just gotten a bad batch but I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. Overall I would not return to this location. The Saint Paul location is just beyond and this place doesn't even seem like that same restaurant. read more

We came in on a Saturday morning just before 7:30AM. We made a reservation, but didn't need one this early. Not many people were in there. The ambiance is light and the welcoming, and there are plenty of fake plants around and different light fixtures. The space itself isn't that big, so I can see why it gets so crowded on (later) weekend mornings. The staff were kind and everything came out so quickly! We were in and out in around a half an hour. I started with a pistachio cardamom latte (5/5!) which was incredibly delicious and HUGE. The $8 price made a little more sense after that. My partner got the raspberry lemonade and enjoyed it. I ordered the gluten free waffles (2/5) that definitely left something to be desired, but kudos for trying to have a gluten-free option. My partner got the breakfast sandwich that looked absolutely amazing and gave it a 4/5, saying it was good but messy and lacked some flavor. We shared the loaded hash browns (2.5/5) and they didn't really seem "loaded"...just heavy onion flavor. Seemed a little extreme for $9. As someone who was really excited about the gluten free waffles, I was pretty let down. I'd come back for the coffee in a heartbeat, though! read more
