After attending a volleyball game I was in the mood for something sweet. I knew that insomnia…read moreCookies was open late and I have been wanting to try them. The store front is very small. You open the door and take a side step to get in line but really not a lot of room for more than 2-3 people at a time. Other than that it was a cute location and seemed pretty clean. The service was quick. I got four cookies. Double chocolate, (which was my favorite and worth the trip) snickerdoodle, sugar cookie and a brownie. They were all good but I would probably only go back for the double chocolate cookie. I am interested in trying a different location but if you are near the UofM, and in the mood for a sweet treat, it's worth a stop.

This particular spot was tiny... barely enough space for two customers inside at a time. The line was out the door, which I took as a good sign, but once I got inside, the energy felt pretty dull. The person who helped me didn't say a single word throughout the transaction. No greeting, no smile--just very flat and transactional. Honestly, it felt kind of sad--like he really didn't want to be there. I ordered the s'mores deluxe cookie, which was pretty good! Warm, gooey, and hit the spot. Prices were reasonable for a specialty cookie. One nice perk: their hours are super late--open well into the early morning, basically bar-close time (some nights like 3:00am), which is great if you're craving cookies after a night out. Overall, the cookie itself was solid, but the customer experience definitely left something to be desired. Not sure I'd go out of my way to come back, but I'm glad I tried it.

I miss the crusty humor of Doug but believe Allison has done a great job (I was actually there on her first day of work!) of keeping the true spirit of Al's alive.

Not for the claustrophobic! Also they only take cash or check. Also lots of other things…read more This place is so narrow it's barely three-dimensional. It is the breakfast-diner equivalent of a crowded subway train at rush hour. This place is basically a counter with about a dozen stools, and they serve breakfast staples every morning. There is no room behind the stools, and yet because people think this is a fun experience they wait in a line behind the stools. They sometimes move the stool people to different stools mid-meal to strategically fill stools with the stool-waitbehinders. It is a challenging experience. The food is not good enough to make up for the effort it takes to be here. In the past I've gotten normal, acceptable eggs/bacon meals. This time I got Eggs Benedict with nice, tart sauce. The eggs were a bit overdone, which is fine if you're not someone who likes a runny yolk situation. I also got hash browns which, on their own, tasted like they were steamed in bilge water. Most people probably put lots of ketchup or hot sauce on them. But you're kind of there for the experience. And it is an experience of cramming yourself in with hipsters and tolerating surly cooks who urgently shout to each other - right next to you - about needed ingredients while occasionally shaming you for not waiting in line correctly. The ambiance is not the slightest bit boring. If this review doesn't scare you away you will probably love it.

Comes out pippin' hot & crispy outside & soft inside I love the fries here!!! The fresh Cole slaw & thin pickles are very cold & just the perfect crisp on the Sammie. I got everything on the side cuz I don't like a wet sandwich unless it's finely chopped up small & doesn't fall out. The sauce has a good flavor, much better than Cane's sauce (more bland). The service is fast. Very clean interior & not sticky anywhere. It's located on the University of Minnesota campus, East Bank Stadium Village next to CVS. Street parking only.

Introduction to Ayurveda is more than just a cooking class, but an invitation to think about your…read morerelationship with food and eating. Most cooking classes start with some small talk about the menu, maybe a glass (or two) of wine - Nalini starts with a 15-minute guided meditation that culminates (warning: spoiler alert) with a small food offering that makes you keenly aware you are what you eat. She then discusses Ayurveda and the principal of eating foods balanced to your body (kind of sort of makes sense, but I'm still thinking how much I love bacon). Then the kicker - it's not just how you feel about taste, but also how you feel afterward (needless to say, I could still feel the delicious Prather Ranch corned beef sandwich I had for lunch). The food we cooked - soup, rice and green beans was simple and delicious. It was fun to learn how to mix and prepare Indian spices. But the real learning is to really think about your food. I'm not at all ready to give up corned beef or bacon all together, but even for a couple meals every week, to think about balance, energy and how you feel afterward. Thanks Nalini, hope to do another class soon!

4.5 stars really - I got a Groupon for the Intro to Ayurvedic Cooking class and I'd never taken a…read morecooking class before so I was very excited. First of all, the class was held in Nalini's apartment, which is beautiful. Right off the bat, you can tell Nalini is incredibly knowledgeable. She is also kind, warm, and respectful. I learned a lot about Ayurvedic principles and some of the basics of Indian cooking; however, I didn't even get to use my knife! I guess that would be my only criticism; I expected to do more cooking than I actually did, and to learn more about actual cooking techniques. I think maybe the class size was too large, as I felt there were "too many cooks in the kitchen." Otherwise, it was a wonderfully positive experience. The end result of our labors was delicious! I can't wait to go buy up some spices and try the recipes for myself. I'm definitely interested in some more classes with Nalini, (especially her Dosa making class) as well as one of her culinary tours to India.
