Decided to try this place out for Mother's Day. Found out it was reservation only (I'm guessing because it was Mother's Day busy). They did not take walk-in but you could wait around if reservation didn't show up. However, it was truly our lucky day because I think it was the manager that stepped in and asked how big is our party and because we were just 2 adult and 1 baby, they were able to split a table for us to get seated right away! I did not catch the name but I do want to say we really appreciate the awesome service! Ambient is a bit loud here. We sat right in front of the kitchen so could hear the pots and pans as well but it wasn't a problem. They have a cute set up which is also nice. Iced Strawberry Matcha- seasonal drink according to the seasonal side menu. Nothing special but you can definitely taste the match and strawberry. It tasted like fresh strawberry in matcha. It just didn't seem like they mix well together to me. But not a bad drink. For me, it could be sweeter but I'm on the sweeter side. South style fried chicken and waffle: portion is big. Love the gravy and also jalapeño syrup. Very different yet delicious. I was going back and forth between this and the normal chicken and waffle but I think the original looks like chicken strips with waffle so it didn't catch my eye. Definitely recommend to try. Monkey cake: who doesn't love chocolate, peanut butter, banana on a pancake? Super sweet of course but it was also good. The service is good and fast. Food came out pretty quickly I would say so we didn't have to wait long. For a busy day, we were in and out within maybe 45 mins or an hour? It is located in a busy shopping center but plenty of parking space. This is definitely a brunch place we would go back. I do wish they have skillets and egg Benedict so maybe in the future? I was also surprised they didn't have either but a lot of other options on the menu. read more

We had a wonderful experience today! Thomas was kind, hospitable & helped us navigate the menu. We ended up ordering the breakfast sandwich and biscuits & gravy and enjoyed the generous portions. The interior is very very cute and makes it easy to settle in. Feels like a hidden gem inside the strip mall. We'll be back! read more

A great selection of vegetarian and vegan food in additions to your regular temptations of pancakes, waffles, and fried chicken! Many options for comfort food and they have a full bar! Plenty of non-alcoholic drinks. Kid friendly and very casual but upscale ambiance. Service is a bit slow because they're busy so just be patient. The food is worth the wait. It's a good place to chat with friends as long as you're not in a hurry. Worth a try if you're in the Centennial area of Edina! read more

Ugh. This was the most disappointed that I have been in a long time, but, let's be honest, I should have known. We came here for a work breakfast to celebrate tax season being over and we were really excited because the menu looked amazing.. The service was great, our server was nice, remembered everything, attentive, and all the things that you would want from your server. No issues there. It's cute in there. It isn't a standard breakfast spot, it's got some decor to it, and it's got a nice, clean, energetic ambiance.. no issues there. The food sucked. First off, we all ordered totally different things and everything was just very MEH MEH. Nothing was amazing, and it was shocking because the food came out not even 7 minutes after we ordered.. and it was a large order. In that moment I knew it was not going to be amazing because there is just nooo way it can come out that fast. I got the cheesy grits and the smoked salmon bagel sandwich. First off, they slathered so much pimento cream cheese on there it totally cancelled out anything else. Secondly, there was hardly any smoked salmon on there. Very very disappointing! I could have gone to Breuggers and gotten a better smoked salmon bagel sandwich.. which for $20... should not have been the case. The only thing that I actually enjoyed was my cardamom pistachio oatmilk latte.. it just sucked though because they served it in this huge glass and it got cold really fast! Subpar. Maybe make the menu smaller so you can focus on having better and more quality dishes. Will not be going back here. read more

I have gone to both the Edina and Eagan locations of Hope breakfast bar and have had good experiences with both. The only issue I have had so far is simply that it is a very busy business and can be a long wait time depending on the day and time you come in. For the food I've had the chicken and waffles, the pimento chicken biscuit, and the dill pickle pretzel. Chicken biscuit - I enjoyed this but wouldn't necessarily order again - the pickles veggies included carrots which was interesting but the hot honey glazed chicken tender was delish The dill pickle pretzel was surprisingly very delicious - the pretzel itself was SO GOOD and the savory dill seasoning on top was it also came with a pickle seasoned cream cheese but I honestly ate a lot of the pretzel without it - Definitely something you'd want to share with multiple people though (it's 3 lbs.) Lastly I had the fried chicken and waffles - this one was not what I expected because what I meant/thought I had ordered was the SOUTHERN fried chicken and waffles which includes gravy and bone in chicken. Anyway it was good for what it was but obviously different than my expectation (I wish the waitress had maybe clarified or asked which chicken and waffles I wanted). Overall this restaurant is a cute place with good food and I would definitely come again to try other things on the menu. read more

We had a delicious and quick lunch! Flavors were traditional American and everything was executed very well. I really loved my chicken fried steak and eggs. The fried steak was crispy crunchy and topped with a savory gravy with chunks of mushrooms. Our Thursday reservation was for 12:30. We arrived 15 minutes early, but were seated immediately. Service was attentive and friendly. We were in and out in 40 minutes. Ambiance is casual modern. I especially love their salt and pepper shakers that are shaped like eggs - adorable! My family also loved their Breakfast Sandwich and the Banana Churro Waffle. This is the 3rd Hope Breakfast location we've tried and their food, service and ambiance have been superb at each location. read more

I met a colleague here for a business meeting and it was a great place to connect. It's nice and bright in here and has a good energy vibe. I ordered buttermilk pancakes for breakfast and my friend got the blueberry pancakes. I loved my stack. Ate three pancakes without hesitation. Nice scoop of whipped butter on top and plenty of syrup. My friend said the blueberry pancakes were a bit too sweet so maybe next time ask for blueberry sauce on the side. I also had a hot latte which was delicious. Service was a bit slow but we weren't in a hurry so nothing to worry about. Great way to start the day. read more

Went for my birthday and had a wonderful experience! Started with the spring spritz and birthday cake shot, both were great! For apps we had the donut basket and giant pickle pretzel. The pickle pretzel was phenomenal! Would for sure get again! For main meal had the breakfast sandwich with hashbrowns, enjoyed it very much. Others tried the McHope Sandwich which was simple but enjoyable. Someone also had the pork carnitas bowl, it was okay, nothing special. Probably wouldn't get again. Was also surprised with birthday pancakes which we devoured. Our server was great, so kind! Overall great atmosphere too. read more

Our family went to Hope Breakfast Bar while we were in town for a quick getaway. I love the clean, bright atmosphere and the staff was all friendly and welcoming. There are lots of unique food choices as well as some classics. I ordered the pork belly and biscuit which was so good, however I did wish for a side salad or a fresh bite with the super savory dish. My husband got the Hawaiian bowl which was also tasty but definitely more of a lunch dish. Bloody's were good and our kids enjoyed a super fun NA unicorn mimosa. Would love to come back to try some more of their dishes! read more

We had been to the St. Paul location once but this was our first time at the Edina location. It is so cozy and well-designed inside. The restaurant was bright and the opened garage-style doors leading to the outdoor eating area were great. We had great service and phenomenal food. The photos speak for themselves!! My only complaints: - The water glasses were so small and we would have definitely appreciated a water pitcher being left at the table so we could pour refills. - We ordered coffee beverages and they did not arrive until we were halfway done with our meals. The server was regularly checking with the bar staff for the drinks so I know it wasn't due to a lack of service. This was a bummer, but they were delicious when they did arrive! read more

Friday mid morning brunch was busy full. Partner had the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich w/ hash browns...hot honey as in spiced honey though mild enough. McHope was my choice and was ok, biscuit was more than flaky it crumbled apart. Bacon was not warm even & stringy, that was the downside. Service was attentive & quick. Decor the same as the St Louis Park location. Drinks were the Spring Spritz and an Espresso. read more

Since my first visit here over a year ago when they were still rather new, I've been back a couple times and I still stand by a lot of what I wrote then but have a few new things to say about Hope. If your plan is to go on a weekend for brunch/breakfast, plan to go early or plan to wait. We went yesterday (there were 2 of us) and we waited almost 45 minutes for a table. Once you're inside and seated, the place is LOUD. One of the loudest restaurants I can remember in a while. Every table is full up and the place has very little buffers for sound. As for the food, I've tried a few more dishes and they aren't really bad. They are mostly just OK. The menu is giving off "fancy brunch" but the actual taste is giving "we tried." Once I heaped on some salt and pepper it made things a lot better. Unfortunately, my breakfast partner and I both got cold hashbrowns yesterday (literally just barely cooked potatoes with no seasonings). Kinda weird when they're so busy. The service is exactly like you expect when the place is being slammed. But my god it's popular. read more

Had a bit of a wait after I was seated, but Nicki took good care of me! Huge menu of choices and unusual options, including the Hope Mimosa Tower and Breakfast Shots and extensive coffee bar (all options available in decaf!). Maybe next time will try the mimosa. Ordered Nicki's favorite, Chicken Biscuit. Hot honey glazed giant chicken tenders on a flakey biscuit with pimento cheese, housemade pickled veggies and hash browns. Plus she asked if I want the hash crispy?! Yes please! The biscuit was outstanding but the hash browns were meh. Will definitely return to try something else. read more

I ordered the Hope breakfast- the eggs were great, the loaded hash browns were so over cooked, I think they might have been on the grill for hours. The single piece of toast was dry. The coffee was good but the waiter gave me a teaspoon of cream and when I asked for additional cream, I received a snarky comment from the waiter about having some coffee with my cream. The experience cost me $29 and I now think I know why my neighbor wouldn't go with me to this place for breakfast! 2 eggs, toast, loaded hash browns, sausage and coffee for $29? Fool me once... read more

Love this place for brunch, great food and drink options. Came here with family and had a fun time. Tried the mistletoe spritz holiday drink and the Hawaiian bowl.

I've heard so many great things about Hope Breakfast Bar! Not just about their food but also about their mission to support communities. I appreciate whenever restaurants offer reservations. This location has a large dining area plus an outdoor seating option. Although the outdoor seating view is just the parking lot. Service was excellent. Very friendly front and back waiters. Clean, non-gender bathrooms too! Now for the food: we ordered the hot chicken and stuffing waffles and the avocado toast with poached egg. Both were excellent! The hot chicken was crispy, spicy, and had a drizzle of hot honey. The avocado toast came loaded with veggies, pickles, and a beautiful poached egg on the side. It was our first time visiting but will definitely not be our last! read more

Went at about 2pm on a Friday and chose to sit outside. Took a minute for the waitress but she brought water, which I always appreciate and let us know no alcohol outside but that is fine because we weren't planning on drinking. I ordered the matcha lemonade, which was delish, and my friend ordered drip coffee which came in an old fashioned stanley and she got milk and sugar. I ordered the pimento eggs n toast. It was good, the server told me it would be spicy but it wasn't spicy, just flavorful enough and I added cholulah from the table because I like spicy eggs. Perfect amount of food with the toast and hashbrowns, my friend got the regular breakfast of eggs, hashbrowns and bacon. My only complaint is the bathrooms! Tiny, one stalls (3, one being a handicap stall) , where a man had left the toilet used and seat up... EW i opted for the 3rd less recently used stall... I'm a regular size human and it was tight... then the SINKS are so low its like for children it hurt my back, I'm 5'5. Also, nowhere to put ur purse while washing hands so that also isn't impressive. Food service was incredibly fast. Great service just shitty bathrooms... literally. read more

I've loved every time I've gone to Hope Breakfast Bar in St Paul and West End, so I am thrilled to see another new location open up! The Edina location has great parking, the patio is super cute, and the interior is so well decorated and well lit. This time I ordered the pina colada French toast, which is a great vegan option! I love that it's made with coconut milk instead of regular milk. The location is new, but the servers were so friendly and attentive. I can't wait to come back again soon! read more

After waiting a very long time to get seated, while in a very short line, a couple who just walked in snagged the table the host was cleaning off for us. The host was slow and uncommunicative. Once we got seated, service was very slow. We sat for about 15-20 min. Waiting for our check, and my fountain drink was never refilled. The food looks good, but it isn't. I love pickled veggies, but both our dishes were covered in massive amounts of pickled veg. The pickling is very sweet and doesn't have any tang or spice. We didn't like it and felt like it ruined both dishes. We got the chili crisp bowl and Avo toast. The chili crisp bowl was extremely light on chiii crisp and the Avo toast was too light on everything seasoning. The Avo toast should be called guac toast- it tasted like store bought guac and the toast didn't seem toasted at all. It's a cute spot but maybe focus on coffee and drinks. Skip the food. Very underwhelming and we left hungry. read more

We went on a Sunday and the whole experience was super rushed. The croffles are so bad. It is just a warmed up croissant with filling which they drown it in.The tostadas weren't bad (although it was served lukewarm) and the red velvet waffle was delicious. Plain pancakes were way too sweet, which we thought maybe we got confetti pancakes instead of plain ones. Our server was too busy to fix the mix up and the busser took his plate before we could ask. Overrated and overpriced. I also hate that they dont give you a receipt. I would definitely skip this place. read more

Food and services was wonderful. Loved the jalapeño syrup with waffles. Waffles were nice and fluffy with a bit of crisp.sausage was perfect. Loaded hash brown was a little over cooked and flat but taste was perfect. Mojito was so good, not too sweet. And mimosa was nice and charged with a hint of orange juice. Service was great. Very attentive. Loved it and it's a vibe inside. Would 100% recommend and come back. read more

My two girlfriends and I came to Hope Breakfast Bar for a Mommy's Brunch! It did not disappoint. The restaurant is very cute inside, but VERY loud. So if you're sensitive to that, consider sitting outside! I had the Pimento Cheese Scramble. It was the perfect size and sooo good. Their coffees are not to be missed, lots of fun specialty ones. I'm currently pregnant or otherwise I would have tried one of their cocktails as well. I did try their Peach and Rose Punch (sans liquor) and it was so refreshing. Highly recommend! read more

Yuck! Not again. One of the worst breakfast. Stale hash, one of the worst hash. Scrambled eggs are yuck. Bread like a rock! When a $20 bagel is on the menu, customers at least expect somewhat tasty food. What can be improved? Everything food. The service is good, and the coffee (latte) is nice. read more

Love the service, love the charitable contributions, but the food is not good. The biscuits premade and warmed up from the bag (see photo). The bag of Krusteaz pancake powder mix is prominently displayed above the open kitchen along with a couple 7 lb jars of grape jelly, enchilada sauce and mayonnaise. The chicken tenders are absolutely frozen then reheated Sysco or Costco quality (look at the pics). If you are ok with cafeteria level food with a nice ambiance then this place is for you. If you are expecting quality food based off the hype you have heard, you will be disappointed. read more

I picked out this restaurant because the menu had some healthy sounding items, but unfortunately the main dishes were very oily. My brother's Stuffed poblano has so much cheese, the plate had pools of oil as the dish cooled, though he seemed to like it. I had the egg Farmer's Grazer with quinoa, carrots, pickled cabbage, kale and other veggies but the kale was deep fried, which was not mentioned in the menu, this made a supposedly healthiest choice way to oily. I didn't eat the kale. The pancakes were OK. read more

Great brunch spot located in Edina and in a large shopping center area to make parking easier. They have a huge inside area that is very vibrant and filled with lots of people on a Saturday. They have alcoholic drinks and a huge coffee bar area. I asked what the most popular latte is and they said the sea salt caramel and the pistachio cardamom so me and my brother got them both, they were both really good and a huge serving! I read reviews and looked around and everyone gets the breakfast sandwich which is an everything bagel, cream cheese, egg, bacon, and cheese with a side of hash downs and it's such a huge portion! My brother got the chicken biscuit, my sister in law got the Hope breakfast and the banana churro waffle. My nephew got the grinch pancakes which came with strawberries and perfect for the holidays! They share hopes and prayers where you can write on the table and hung in the back and they pray over it and share it. What a great message! read more

Really nice place, bright, clean, well staffed. They fill your coffee mug, and it's a mug not a cup, and leave a Stanley thermos of coffee on the table-LOVE that! My eggs, sunny side up, were perfect, hash browns were great but the star of the show was the side order of sausage gravy, perhaps the best I've ever had and I order that a LOT! The also leave a card on the table you can write about your troubles and worries and the staff will pray for you at the end of the week. Now I'm not a religious person so my first thought was "how silly", with that said, by the restroom there is an area where, let's call them prayers in waiting were hanging, and that was full. Clearly far more people think it is not silly than there are those of us who do. So more power to them, it is a nice jester and speaks to the kind of people you will encounter there. I'm only in Minneapolis for three days but I'm betting we will have breakfast there all three days. Well done! read more

Love this chain but this location left much to be desired in terms of service. I usually go to the St Louis Park location but met friends here for a Sunday brunch. We made a reservation which was great as the place was busy - also appreciate they take breakfast / brunch reservations! Place is super cute, quite large, and got seated right away. I will say the food came out fast but we had to flag the server down multiple times for things. Our food came before our drinks did, after having to ask about them twice. We then had side items we ordered never show up and our waitress didn't notice or ask until we requested they were taken off the bill. She didn't even apologize just said "oh no yeah Sunday brunch is hectic".... You're a breakfast place, that is literally your sweet spot. Overall food tasted good and again came quick, however, the service experience was quite poor. The bus team (busboy/buswomen) were faster and at our table more often than the server! Will be sticking to the SLP location for now. read more

I took my team out for brunch. Everyone enjoyed their meals at Hope Breakfast Bar! The only reason I'm rating it 4/5 stars is because of the service. Our server was friendly but we were always waiting. Tables that were sat after us were greeted before us, our drinks were empty often, and to get the bill took unusually long. Based on other convos with other people that love HBB, this isn't the norm but this was my only experience. The food was great! I ordered the southern chicken and waffles and the gravy and syrup surprisingly worked really well together! There were so many options that sounded so good, next time I'll have to try a sweet option instead of savory. read more

***They are having phone issues so you may have to call a few times before getting the right location*** My family tried out Hope Breakfast Bar for the first time and we loved it. We made a reservation ahead of time and they were accommodating when we were late. Our waitress was more than helpful with our questions and assisted in splitting our food. The food was fantastic! Each of us were trying each other's food, we couldn't help it. I also appreciated their gender neutral bathrooms! The ambiance was very cool and you could tell people like it because it was packed! read more

After all of the hype I finally got here when some friends invited us to join them. To be bluntly honest, it was mediocre at best. The highlights were the bright and trendy atmosphere and the presentation of the food. Not the food itself as that is the reason for the 2-star rating. Everything looked beautiful, but the food was nothing special. We had four different dishes and no one was terribly excited. The menu is creative to a fault, and it really isn't a breakfast place, per se. German chocolate cake pancakes? No thanks. Carrot cake pancakes? No again. How about an omelette? Not on the menu in any simple way. An egg-white omelette option? Nope. Hope Breakfast Bar reminded us of a wanna-be upscale foo-foo dinner place with average portions beautifully presented that we should ooh and aah over. We just didn't. Service: Very good Food: Could've been better Portions: Average Coffee and tea served in Stanley pourers: over the top, irritating for tea drinkers having to unscrew the top, and at $4 for one tea bag, drastically overpriced. Coffee for $6 or $9, same comment. Sure, it's all you can drink, but who wants to drink that much coffee? Food prices: Overpriced Enough. You get it. None of us plan to return. For a real breakfast it's still Fat Nats, Keys, Cafe Astoria, Maria's Cafe, Eggy's, New Uptown Diner, Hazel's NE, or any of the Blue Plate restaurants. read more

I mean, it was fine. Just okay. With a weirdly religious vibe mixed in. The good: our server, who admitted this was her second or third day working up front, was a delight. The coffee, unnecessarily served in an old-school Stanley thermos, was good. The hash browns were solid. And, the peach and rose punch was well-received by their person who had it, even though she couldn't really taste the peach. The bad: The restaurant was super cute and trendy, but in that "style over substance way" that serves as a waving red flag. The breakfast tostada was watery and bland, and required an epic bath in hot sauce to have any flavor. The whipped pimento eggs were lumpy and just okay. The bacon was chewy and the sourdough toast... ...the sourdough toast... ...tasted like movie theater popcorn. I mean, that's an achievement, I guess. Other than that, the plastic water glasses had sharp ridges on the rims from when they were separated from the molding machines. Cheap and unpleasant. And the table signs asking for patrons to list their prayers and hopes so they could be prayed over by their staff... Weird, and kind of confirmed the LA vibe I got when we walked in. I was just hoping for a good breakfast. Would we be back? Probably not. It wasn't *that* expensive--less than $70 for three people WITH a good tip--so maybe we'll give this location the chance to get their legs underneath them and try again. But can you get a much better breakfast for that price in the Twin Cities? Yes. read more
