A picture of the front of the restaurant
Rose N.

We had the breakfast burrito and lasagna and both were amazing. The place was cozy and classy, and the service was great. I highly recommend everything about Leela on 8. Tip: Climbing the hill to get into the parking lot freaked me out a bit but then I realized I just needed to go around the corner, and I could have just driven in. It was well worth the visit. We'll be back!

Breakfast burrito
Kavitha P.

Had the pleasure of visiting this little gem of a restaurant in New Brighton! Having been only open for 2 months they are serving some of the most flavorful breakfast food I've had in a while and at affordable prices! The breakfast burrito was soo delicious- definitely a little heat esp with the chipotle mayo - also really big! The strawberry,banana , blueberry French toast was also perfection because they added the right amount of Nutella drizzle on top!! Coffee is endless and strong but best of all the manager is so kind and nice and I'm hoping to visit again to try their lunch or dinner!! The patio looks super inviting in the warmer months- I will definitely add this to my weekend brunch spots !

Pleasantly surprised and I'm sure more is on the way with them eventually offering dinner and drinks. This is the former Barley John's location that I noticed last night as we drove home from northern soda. The food was very good I tried ropa vieja Benny which was good and I can honestly say I've never had an eggs Benedict like this before. It had tender Latin flavored beef (similar to birria). It was very good. My wife had the veggie omelet, and my son the breakfast burrito. The burrito was awesome and had great flavors. Paige our server was great and she handled all the tables herself. She did a fantastic job and was very friendly. Great patio for outdoor eating, the inside is kind of small with four or five bar seats. And a handful of booths and tables. Lovely new spot to try as the have been open just shy of a month.

Cozy and friendly little restaurant! I was running some errands in the area and used Yelp for its intended purpose by searching Eggs Benedict because that's what my hankering was for. That brought me here and I was able to try out a very intriguing take on that dish! Theirs is called Ropa Vieja Benedict and has shredded beef and a Hollandaise that has a unique mustardy tang. It came with unusually light hash browns that I really liked; people who avoid hash browns for reasons of greasiness are likely to tolerate these. They have a lot of breakfast and lunch options, plus a small dinner menu for when they are open that late. It feels like a breakfast place, though. I came in at noon on a Sunday and they didn't seem overly busy - I sidled up to one of several available tables - but it still took longer to be served than I was expecting. My server was nonetheless very charming and I'll definitely return here.

Cuban meat eggs Benedict
Elisha S.

This cute little Cuban fusion American brunch place is totally a gem! The owner is super nice and was very friendly telling us about the place, the food and the art on the wall. He mentioned that they will open for dinner hours in the near future. The location is great on a corner of a busy intersection. The only thing is that indoor seating is a little small. But once the weather gets nice out, they have an amazing patio for outdoor seating, with lots of plants! I love their food, sandwiches, breakfast food with a Cuban twist. Really good portion for the price as well. Will definitely come back!

First time trying this place out. Used to be the A&W when I was a kid. Nicely decorated inside and A LOT of outdoor seating. Very inviting atmosphere. I had a steak sandwich that was very tasty. My fiancé had a BLT that she loved with avocado. The food was delicious, service was good but the place was freezing. Water refill and some extra napkins would have been nice but very nice waiter. The condiment tray was a little to be desired. Would you want to eat hot sauce out of the pictured bottle? Yuck. Price are a bit on the high end but food was good. Will for sure try again sometime.

Veggie omelette with the basil mayo on the side
Meg H.

Really great ambiance. The decor and music is a great vibe. Very calming, relaxing and charming, and CLEAN! Definitely treat yourself their amazing coffee. I had the veggie omelette with the mayo on the side. Very fresh and tasty. Not greasy, the hash browns were perfectly done. My husband had the French today with blueberries, also very good. Our server was very sweet, and attentive. We will be back. It's nice to have this spot so close to home!

The big window makes the restaurant cold in the winter. Otherwise it's a small nice spot that you should check out.

I looked for positives wherever I could find them... even in a really really good sandwich. @misant_banhmi in Brooklyn Park is where I first had this awesome sandwich. Since those days, they've grown and added a second spot @misant_kitchen in Roseville which is my go to, though both have a special spot in my heart. Everything is made fresh and you can taste it they've got so many options in this Vietnamese French Fusion Bakery to try. So what was this wow sandwich? Beef Bulgogi Bahn Mi (The bread and everything inside is sooo good. The flavor of the Beef is amazing) Not pictured but also awesome: Also able to get it as a bowl version Croissants here are also delicious Cream Cheese Wontons Egg Rolls Mi Sant is a place you walk in and have an instant mood boost. The atmosphere of their restaurant just feels comfortable and welcoming which sets the scene for an enjoyable experience. The team here is also so friendly and helpful. As better weather comes around the corner go grab a lunch or dinner. Dine in or grab something to go and enjoy a really really good sandwich.

The line is usually out the door during the lunch rush, but don't worry...they'll get you through quick!

Choose your line, order it up as is or custom, and grab your soda/chips to make it a meal and you are set! On my latest visit, I had the Old Fashioned, which was perfect! Made a few swaps including a french roll, no tomatoes, add pickles! Perfect lunch size, great value, and quality ingredients! There's a reason people will wait in line for this spot! I can't recommend it enough!

They are located just a block or two away from Como park which has picnic tables available to have a nice lunch outside!

On weekdays, it's usually quick to get in and out! There is always plenty of parking on the residential streets nearby. You order at the register, and they'll call out your name when your order is ready. They have some seating indoors and outdoors, but it's a relatively small space so it does get crowded on the weekends but I've never had to wait too long to find a place to sit! Breakfast is served until 11 on weekdays and noon on weekends and lunch is served all day! Their menu is labeled clearly with what's vegan and vegetarian. They do have an option to sub for gluten-free bread for any sandwich, although I haven't personally tried the gluten free bread. Marty's breakfast sandwiches are an absolute must try! Their focaccia has a fluffy interior and lightly crispy exterior, and the toasted sesame seeds on it add a nice layer to the flavor. The eggs are perfectly fluffy, and the cheese is perfectly gooey and melty. It is, in my opinion, one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the cities. I also think the hash browns are THE best hash browns you can buy. They're house-made, with the potatoes grated more finely than your typical hash brown. They have a fluffy interior, crispy exterior, and are salted to perfection. I like them with a side of aioli, but they're also good on their own! I would highly recommend going to Marty's, and especially recommend their breakfast!
