The food was amazing and the prices weren't scary! Server was very accommodating to our allergies! (gluten and tree nut). There was no upcharge for the gluten-free options. The vibes were cozy and comfortable. read more

This place is really terrific. Everything was good and the service was friendly and attentive. My Breakfast Burrito was maybe the best I've ever eaten. We shared some ebelskivers and they were good but they weren't filled with anything so we were disappointed. Homemade are better. Good latte, good oatmeal, good fruit, good bacon, good Benedict, GREAT burrito. We sat inside but the patio looked nice read more

First time in Minneapolis and this breakfast spot left the best impressions! I love that they have a Google waitlist. We got there on Saturday around 10AM and were listed on the waitlist but I think we could have gotten a table right away without it (great back though for busier days). They have inside an outside seating. We ordered: - Aebleskivers (Danish donuts)- to try and share between the three of us. They are delicious little balls of goodness. Probably the size of a donut whole but a lot more flavorful and gooey. They came out super warm, tasty and smelled amazing. Came with maple sirup and triple jam - both very tasty. - Brussel Sprout hash - I loved it, I somehow missed that pancetta was in the ingredients and I try to limit the amount of meat I eat but it was still fantastic. The goat cheese gave it that amazing zing! - Corned beef hash - my friend ordered that and asked if the corned beef was freshly made on site and it was. He loved it. - Huevos Rancheros - I should have listed this first. My husband ordered this with some chorizo and deemed it the best huevos rancheros he had ever had and probably one of the best bfasts ever. They had a huge selection of toasts to go with your breakfast (sourdough, wheat, pumpernickel and many more), a great selection of teas that came in a cute teapot with enough tea for two and their monkey bread, cinnamon rolls and biscuits looked soo tasty (yes I spied on other peoples food). Our waitress was very friendly, informative and patient :) Can't wait to be back and try other things on the menu. read more

Wonderful service, the food was to die for. We sat outside on the patio, and enjoyed the nice summer breeze.

Came here during a busy Saturday morning. Seated pretty quickly, really like the online waitlist option. Service was fast and friendly. Loved the gluten free pancakes, although they are a tad bit sweet. Great coffee. My only complaint is the front door bangs so loudly, I could feel it shaking my chair. Like a big bass drum, annoying and constant. I would suggest sitting away from the entrance if possible. read more

We headed to Stand-ish from the airport, two sadsacks carrying a medium sized suitcase because we had a while to go before Airbnb or car rental check in. We were able to get a fantastic breakfast and enjoy the weather without having to inconvenience anyone else with our baggage on Stand-ish Cafes porch. The Reuben was one of the best I've ever had. The thick sliced corned beef kicked it up a whole other level. The brussel sprout hash was fresh and well seasoned. They made fresh decaf for my partner and were fast with refills and cream. Service was great and we will be back again the next time we're in town - hopefully not with suitcases in tow! read more

Great cafe for local brunch and breakfast! Casual hipster, laid back vibes. Their dine-in area is really cozy, plus there's outside patio dining too (although currently closed because of COVID-19). Super easy to order during these times and very efficient. You can get your order ready for you as little as 15 minutes! Friendly service :) Online menu available on their website. My fave dish from there is definitely the Huevos Rancheros w/ Chorizo. Super well-seasoned with eggs and avocado. Love that it's saucy and comes with a tiny bit of crunchy tortilla on the side. The Carnitas Omelette is also very yummy! Their Avocado Toast is popular although I think it could be a bit more flavorful. I'm excited to try more and more of Standish Cafe and find more of my faves :) read more

This was not my favorite place. Two of my friends really liked their food, but my other friend and I didn't have such a great experience. First off I got the chocolate chip pancakes and so did one of my friends. Mine were a bit spongy and not my favorite, but she seemed to really like hers so maybe it was just a one off thing. But the real trouble started when our waitress poured water all over my friends omelette. Now this could have just been a mistake, but it was still annoying since it got all over my friends clothes and resulted in a breakfast he couldn't eat. Now the waitress did bring napkins but, it's hard to dry off a soggy omelette. The decor was nice but I don't need to go back here read more

There have been a few different tenants that have occupied this address that Standish Cafe now calls home over the last few years - here's to hoping Standish sticks around for quite some time. Admittedly, I haven't ventured far from the breakfast side of the menu, but that's only because the various hash dishes and omelets I have tried thus far have been too good for me to branch out further. It's also a given that one of their large/delicious biscuits always accompanies any order. That said, there are plenty of options for those wanting more lunch in their brunch. Indoor and outdoor seating is available and takeout is a breeze for those that prefer to dine at home. We'll continue to do all of the above for a tasty, generously portioned and reasonably priced brunch in the future. read more

I'm a big fan of Standish Cafe, which used to be Colossal Cafe in south Minneapolis. While the restaurant itself is a little small, it packs a big punch with its food and great service. Here's the quick bottom-line: * Food: 4.5 out of 5 stars * Service: 4.5 out of 5 stars (yes, I'm a big advocate of half star ratings) * Value: 4.5 out of 5 stars Based on all of the 4.5 stars for the three main categories I consider, I decided to round up, also because I like smaller, neighborhood, non-chain restaurants. Here are the details for our visit ... In keeping with tradition, my brother and I went to Standish Cafe for brunch after church on Sunday morning. I think we're still on quest to find the best brunch in the Twin Cities and Standish is right up there with the best and I say that based on quality of food, service, and value. Fortunately, you are able to put your name on the wait list online, which is something I highly recommend. I think it goes without saying that if a restaurant is good, it will be busy, if it isn't good, then you'll have no problem getting a table. Even though I was on the wait list and it didn't look like there would be much of a wait at 10:15 on Sunday morning, we had to wait a few minutes to be seated and during that wait, I noticed half a dozen walk-ins who had to wait longer than we did. There's a covered addition where people can go sit and have coffee while they wait for a table. Let's talk about food - since I'm a HUGE fan of breakfast/brunch, anything that offers eggs, salty smoked meats, and sweets like pancakes, biscuits, etc. usually draws my attention and Standish definitely has these characteristics. I had read about the biscuits ahead of time, so I knew that was going to be a must. I also scouted out the Brussel Sprout Hash - a nice healthier alternative than your traditional eggs, meat, potato, etc., not to mention our server, who was terrific by the way, suggested we try something different since you can get eggs and bacon anywhere (one of the truest statements during brunch). The hash comes with 2 eggs, which I got scrambled, even though over easy would be great to mix into the hash. There were some diced yukon potatoes, plenty of flavorful, smoky pancetta, some garlic and onion, as well as a couple well proportioned dollops of goat cheese. With this dish, you also get your choice of toast, english muffin and of course the biscuit, which would be a crime not to get. The biscuit is so large (and flaky) that it comes on a separate plate and there's some house made jam, which was a perfect complement. My brother opted for the Biscuits & Gravy. As I've stated before, I think Scott is becoming a Biscuits & Gravy connoisseur as that's his go-to dish. He's also a big fan of eggs benedict, but since Standish has these terrific biscuits, it only made sense to get the Biscuits & Gravy and I think we both determined he made the right choice. The sausage gravy was very flavorful and yet, not too rich. Coffee was an additional $3.50 each but well worth it as we had multiple cups. The service was outstanding and very friendly. As you can tell, I can't say enough good things about my experience at Standish Cafe and since it was so good, I think we're going back tomorrow (Thursday), so twice in one week. I noticed on the menu, they have Aebleskivers, which is a Danish snack that look like donut holes and what I've read it sounds like the texture is more like a European pancake. Needless to say, I can't wait to try them and I'm planning on getting the Forager Omelet, which has a wild mushroom mix, swiss, and chicken sausage, also served with a biscuit and hash browns, which look terrific. Standish has a small parking lot, but there's also ample on street parking around the block for free. read more

Why? Why would you consider going anywhere else for breakfast? I told my waitress... I'm looking for something creamy and yummy. She brought me the feta toast. What? How good can this be?? Perfection! With a grapefruit mimosa... and bf got the carnitas burrito with crispy hash browns! Seriously! Get here! read more

Always great service and amazing food. Eggs are cooked perfectly every time we've been at Standish. Brussel sprout hash is delicious!

As I wonder around the globe I try to eat affordable, fresh local when possible. I'm in Minneapolis these days and the brutal weather is improving enough to walk around the neighborhood. So delighted to come across this place. Server was busy(good for him!) yet attentive and kind. Not annoyingly fussy tho. It was everything I like in a cafe (NOT greasy spoon FOR SURE) Variety, freshly delish, breakfast, lunch, brunch, dinner served all day long. Try something fancy or play it safe with pancakes or a burger. Since this was my first visit I decided to go with the signature burger THE STANDISH BURGER... even the darn pickle was AMAZING!!! When does that happen?? I will come back with my husband, we love good little cafes. Not for romance but to happily share our selections with each other. ;) Food made with care and pride and boastability (you know the "We make the best...") read more

I enjoyed my meal at Standish and was a bit disappointed that the restaurant wasn't busier at the time I was there. I would really like for this place to be able to succeed! I ordered the Chargrilled Veggie Omelet and was able to sub the goat cheese for a different choice. I thought the omelet was well made with a generous portion of ingredients in the interior. They also had my favorite hot sauce, Cry Baby Craig's! It's always a joy to find at restaurants. The omelet came with hashbrowns and toast. The hashbrowns were crispy and not soggy at all, which was awesome! I really liked the jam that came with the toast. It was really flavorful and thick. I had a great experience at Standish with wonderful service and delicious food. This is a great place to go if you're looking for a cute cafe with modern updates to some classic dishes. read more

We went here in a whim. What a delightful experience! We split a corned beef hash that was the best flavor I've had in a restaurant. (They politely divided the order into two dishes). The coffee was better than some coffee houses. The homemade biscuit was scone-like with jam that had whole blueberries. All the staff was welcoming too. We will return. Top notch and tasty. read more

Yes, give it a try. Just getting started so I believe they are working the kinks out. But our experience was great. Friendly staff, talkative and with a smile. Would suggest they could be a little more attentive at asking if ready to order etc. Food really good. Had veggie tacos; so tasty and filling. I loved their roasted tomato salsa. My brother in law had steak and salad, done just right and came with delicious garlic Bread. House blend white wine crisp and pleasant. They also have good selection of beer. read more

Never had a "crispy" sunny side up egg before ever. Burnt on the bottom up over the top. "Server" asked if I had an issue with the egg. I said yes. Remade the egg the exact same way and gave it to me. Did not touch it. I guess a manager/owner (?) came over to explain to me that a Sunny Side up egg should be "Crispy". I have worked in many kittens over my life. Those 4 eggs would have never left the kitchen. Not sure what they are doing but in the need to turn plates out fast they must cook on an over heated griddle not good for eggs and not use a skillet. Completely turned off from the "service" and burnt eggs X2 I was done eating. Ate the hash browns. Had a glass of water never refilled. The best was at the end of the "meal" the "server" asked if i also had a problem with the cold toast sitting untouched. I said no just a problem with the entire situation. Still charged $19.00. Don't get it. Over hyped over priced insulting service.

Great neighborhood breakfast place. I pretty much stick to my favorite which is the breakfast burrito. My wife had the breakfast tacos, also very good. Unfortunately, they were out of monkey bread but this I would highly recommend. Good coffee which was comped due to the wait time. Everything is scratch cooking. Just go. read more

One of my new favorite brunch places in the twin cities! Awesome many with many options to please everyone - was hard to pick what to order but ended up getting the steak Benedict. Perfectly cooked eggs, hollandaise was awesome and plentiful, steak was cooked just the way I like it. Standish potatoes were okay - I typically prefer a hash brown over breakfast potatoes but wanted to try them out. They were good - had some pieces of bacon in them which was a little surprise. The wait time was long but they have a system that allows you to put your name on the list from your phone so we didn't have to stand in the waiting area at all, just drove over when we were close to the top of the list. Can't wait to go back! read more

10/10 recommend for a casual breakfast spot. Visited Standish about a month ago and upon my first bite of the Brussel Sprout Hash picked up my phone and texted my best friend "you NEED to check this place out." I'm a generally a hesitant breakfast/brunch person - love the idea, but more times than not find myself somewhat disappointed. This is not the case with Standish. My friend and I were both v pleased with everything from the service to the food. We literally came back the next chance we got with more friends. Spoiler alert, they too were fans. Pics are from our second time. Would go back w/o hesitation (& in fact will). Also, tried the cinnamon roll on the second visit, served warm & was perfect to split among friends! read more

I love this place! Rueben is great, Standish fries obviously. Love the breakfast too!

New favorite breakfast joint in the twin cities! First off, I want to not even review Standish Café for fear of it getting popular and crowded! We went after church for brunch, it was really busy and took awhile for service but hey its expected when you go at that time and the staff let us know before hand it would take a bit longer because they were jammed to the gills, all tables inside and out were spoken for. Although it took some time to order, as soon as we ordered the food came out in no time. Partner ordered the Veggie breakfast burrito and I ordered the Carnitas Omelette with the potatoes and Biscuit on the side. Thank god for the southern folk who introduced the biscuit to us Yankees, the biscuit at Standish is phenomenal with really yummy jam. Both Burrito and Omelette were spot on and the potatoes are cooked with bacon, double win. read more

Went a few weeks ago and it was an overall "meh" experience. They had a hard time accommodating my wife, 1-year old daughter and myself. It is a very small dining space - so it wasn't a surprise that it would be tight to fit the three of us... but the host seemed unprepared or confused about how to seat us. We really like the place when it was colossal. I found this menu a bit cutesy. Food was average at best. Don't plan on going back anytime soon. With all that being said, our server was kind and patient. Really liked her and appreciated her a lot throughout the meal. read more
