    This place was recommended by a local and it didn't disappoint. Wall are covered in tasteful art. It has a go variety of food options. Waiters are super friendly and attentive.

    Biscuits and gravy, delicious!
    David T.

    Great location downtown. We came early Sunday morning before the rush and had great coffee and breakfast. The fall coffee menu was nice, lattes were delicious. My wife had a classic breakfast while I tried the biscuits and gravy. The sausage gravy was delicious, the biscuit was a great base. A little more dense buttermilk layer and disnt get soggy. Sometimes biscuits are too much fill and this was perfect to enjoy the sausage and gravy.

    GF chocolate cake

    *CELIAC, GLUTEN FREE REVIEW so many choices! this place appears to be very knowledgeable about how to handle allergies. We got the teriyaki bowl and the southwest salad. Of course we had to get the GF chocolate cake - so rich, moist, and delicious! The day we went they had a mint frosting. Be cautious with the teriyaki sauce, I made the mistake of dumping it all in before tasting!

    Window-side bar in Jules' Bistro (perfect spot to read a book).
    Ethan G.

    Upon entering, I was swiftly met by a lovely young waitress who offered me either table or bar. I opted for the high-set wooden bar leaning against street-side window pains. Cars passed and pedestrians streamed by, maybe on their way back to work after, hopefully, tasty lunches and a restful break. Jules is a charming little bistro foregrounded on St. Cloud's main street and backed by First and Second Street South, two roads that mitigate the flood of traffic leaving SCSU. Sunlight meets the corner of the building and stops short of "setting the place on fire" with natural light, leaving room for hand-blown chandeliers and warm spotlights to brush Jules with a soft glow. There are drawings, paintings, and intricate bouquets of greenery decorating the walls, complimenting a soft green that breaths through the city's stark browns. Internally, Jules is lively, and a perfect setting to eat, yap, and take a deep breath. I ordered the BBQ Beef Brisket panini with a side of Sweet Chicken sopa, which comes with kettle chips and a spear pickle. The panini wasn't what I expected. Having graduated from Kansas' honorary school of amateur BBQ, I was looking for a rich, peppery flavor from the brisket, complimented by a sauce that leans into either sweet of tangy. What I received was a BBQ sauce panini with chunks of beef brisket shoved in. Safe to say, the panini didn't meat expectations, but the sourdough bread retained its crunchiness without expending its soft inner layer and aged bite - coming very close to mom's homemade loaves. The chips were chips, and my distaste for pickles shielded me from trying this one, but having known pickle-lovers, it looked delightful. Juicy and dusted in leftover kettle chip crumbs, I can imagine it was tasty. My personal favorite from Jules' Bistro was the Sweet Chicken sopa - a delightfully twisted chicken noodle soup served with yet another piece of toasted sourdough bread. The sopa noodles were texturally divine, chewy, flavorful, and easily collected with a spoon. With shredded chicken, peas, carrots, bay leaves, and a hint of tarragon, you can make an exceptional soup. But what makes Jules' Bistro stand out is the usage of Mexican sopa noodles and a touch of lime that adds, not a bite, but a bounce to the stock that keeps the pallet on its toes. It's safe to say - sopa must remain on the Jules' Bistro menu. All-in-all, Jules' Bistro is a commendable addition to the American ring of hand-crafted soul food restaurants, and is worth a step off the interstate. Perfect for a budget friendly date night, casual lunch break, or quick pitstop on your road-trippin', wayfarin' journey across the great state of Minnesota!

    My $20 sandwich. It only had avocado mushrooms and sauerkraut.  I opted not to pay even more for vegan cheese
    B K.

    Food was fine, nothing special. Prices were very expensive. I have both a dairy and gluten allergy and to have GF bread was an additional $3 and for vegan cheese it was another $2.50. $5.50 on an already $17 sandwich is kinda crazy. It would have been over $30 for a flatbread with GF and vegan cheese. Our whole meal was just over $60 and that's with only 1 person being GF. All we got was 2 sandwiches and a soup and salad combo. If the food was over the top or was larger portions maybe it would be worth it but this just wasn't. There wasn't a lot of dairy and GF options. And they couldn't substitute things out. So for the teriyaki stir fry they couldn't remove the onions. Also the paper copy menu said smashed avocados but it was actually guacamole. As someone who doesn't like onions that wasn't great either. All in all I won't be back.

    Rise & Shine Wrap with ham, bell peppers, Kalamata olives, and feta.

    We had been hearing great this about this restaurant for a while and finally got the opportunity to check it out - we were NOT disappointed! My husband had the mocha and the Sweet Potato & Pomegranate Bowl. The mashed sweet potatoes were the perfect texture and paired perfectly with the apple slaw and candied dates - great texture and flavor combination. I did a build your own wrap - it was stuffed with veggies, cheese, and ham, and they pressed the wrap so it was warm and had a perfect crispy texture. Great service, extremely friendly, and great ambiance. One more thing I want to note because to me it speaks to the integrity of the people and place - an older man came in who must be a regular because they knew him by name. He did not appear to have much, may have been homeless, and they welcomed him in, gave him a warm cup of coffee, some bacon, and a cookie. It was very heartwarming to see the compassion! We look forward to our next visit!

    "Where do you want to go for breakfast, love? It's your birthday, you pick."…read moreYou think about it. Your sleepy little cow town has no good prospects. You think of conceding to good ol' Perkins, and think again. You google a few things. Something cute comes up. The drive is short enough, and facilitates the mandatory stop through Savers to peruse the electronics for that thing you had when you were 12. "Brigette's Cafe looks good, let's try it." Best decision of the day. The chicken fried steak special was delicious, nay, straight bussin. I still have no idea how it's actually made, and I don't care. The hash browns were perfect, and dare I say, picturesque. Eat your heart out, Norman Rockwell. The rye toast was delectable, with only butter to complement. I will be back. I will try the pancake platters. The best part? I'm a whole-ass adult... and nobody can stop me.

The line was fairly long when we arrived around 11:30 on a Sunday, but it moved quickly. Once seated and our order was in, the food came out fast. Enjoyed the biscuit and gravy, fries, and french toast. The omelet was decent and about what you'd expect from a good diner. Coffee was great after being in the road all night. Overall, we liked the experience, and there are still several menu items we didn't get to try, a good reason to come back again.
