    Avocado Toast
    Jay S.

    The food was good enough overall, without many highlights for me to say that they were exceptional. Some of the dishes had minimal stuff in them that my friend felt the need to ask for additional sides to make them complete plates. We also tried their passionfruit and mango mimosas, and we both agreed that the mango and passionfruit flavors were not potent enough. I ordered the huevos divorciados, which had pretty good salsa roja and salsa verde. Everything else was pretty standard, with black beans, over medium eggs, pico de gallo, and queso fresco as some of the other ingredients. Overall the flavor was there for sure, albeit not much beyond good. My friend enjoyed her French toast, which had challah bread, whipped butter, and maple syrup, which are some classic ingredients that are used for this dish. Once again, it was conventionally good with not much to highlight. We shared an avocado toast as well, and it was okay. The poached egg was a bit overcooked, and there were too many mixed greens and not enough avocado mixture. In general, we enjoyed this place enough to recommend it to people and to return here if around the area.

    Huevos Divorciado, Pistachio Matcha

    Enjoyable breakfast! We have long anticipated stopping into this place for a bite! I really enjoyed the service, waiters were very kind and friendly. It's a bit tight inside, and definitely be ready for a wait! There's no reservations/walk-ins only. We enjoyed the food, and found it to be fresh and good ingredients. The huevos divorciados were fun and playful with two different salsa toppings and eggs, with tortilla and beans in between. I loved the crunch, and the eggs were perfectly cooked! I'd stop back in and try something else on the menu! The pistachio in the matcha was a bit overwhelming, but it was nice and creamy:)

    BS Benedict for me and John chose Rosemary Biscuits w/chorizo.

    We stopped by for breakfast while up in St Paul. It's a lovely little place with a big menu! Service was great and everyone do friendly that John had an opportunity to chat with locals and the owner, who has a great vinyl records. I had the Black something Benedict and John a chorizo dish. I just thought that the cooking was rushed as the egg on the Benne was underdone as it was watery, the Hollandaise, too peppery so lacked its unique flavor. The chorizo was cooked way beyond its best flavor and the oil they fry the hash browns too hot and needs to be changed out. Really these are minor changes to make it a five star in my mind. We will be back as it's just such a gem in a beautiful historic neighborhood!!

    Caramel roll and pistachio matcha latte
    Tara S.

    One of the best brunches in St. Paul. It was such a hard time making a choice on what to order because everything looked and sounded so delicious! The caramel roll was one of the best I ever had and pecans on top were amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

    Egg and smoked Gouda croissantwhich with potatoes
    Deebaa S.

    Great spot! First, I'm a vinyl and music lover so the name of this spot and the record playing had me. Knew I was going to like it when I saw Best of Tribe Called Quest and Miles Davis' Witches Brew vinyl records. Went for brunch. The egg and smoked Gouda croissant was delicious. Appreciated the toasted bottom bc it keeps the sandwich crisp, not soggy, and just tasted amazing, plus potatoes. Gouda was a great touch. I don't usually rave about breakfast sandwiches but this was too good. Had the best espresso cocktail ever with delicious cold foam and hints of orange and caramel without the overly sweet syrupy taste. Our drinks were outstanding and so was our food. Friendly, attentive service. Will be back! Will have to try the delicious sounding coffee next time

    A lovely little brunch joint that is packed to the gills with both people and flavor. We were looking for a place to bring parents on a Saturday morning while visiting and this popped up with some really great reviews. We were seated within 15 minutes, though we felt lucky for that because the wait got quite a bit longer after we got there. Not too much waiting room inside but people could hang out in front on a nice day. The seating was tight but they pack in what they can. Service was pretty quick and we didn't wait too long for our food. There were so many interesting choices on the menu, but I finally settled on the cornbread benedict which was really unlike any other brunch dish I've had. A little spice and the delicious rich cornbread offset by some greens really made the whole package. Come on a weekday for a more relaxed vibe, but either way, make it here for some great flavors.

    Cornbread Benedict & Huevos Divorciados
    Mariam R.

    We recently visited on a busy day (Juneteenth) and despite this combined with short staffing, the service was great and overall very fast. I tried a pistachio matcha drink called The Hulk - it was in the coffee section of the menu but I think it was just flavored milk. Despite this, it was decent and refreshing. My kids really loved the Aloha Parfait - it was so beautifully presented in a papaya! I wish it had more yogurt, since my kids love yogurt. We ended up asking for more and the staff obliged which was nice. Cornbread Benedict was incredible. My husband also really loved his Huevos Divorciados. I loved the unique flavors and South American fusion. The entry to get in is a bit narrow and my 2 and 3 year old were having a hard time sitting still. No high chairs were offered to us so we couldn't contain them and one of the staff members seemed a bit flustered by them wandering. Because of this, I wouldn't say it's the most family friendly but maybe we caught them on an off day.

    Carmel Pecan Pull cinnamon Roll
    King G.

    Atmosphere A lot is said about how an environment affects your dining experience, and they did it right. It's a perfect mix of a hometown cafe with a modern twist--featuring dark palettes, aesthetically pleasing wood accents, and a charmingly lit Christmas tree. The heavy aroma of fresh-roasted coffee beans fills the air, with subtle back notes of maple, butter, and cinnamon playing a "symphony of pleasure." However, the true stars are the vibrant colors and beautiful plating coming out of the kitchen. I sat for a moment just to take it all in before ordering. Food We ordered the Avocado Toast with hash browns, the Huevos Divorciados, and a side of the Hand-Pulled Cinnamon Pecan Twist. To drink, we had freshly squeezed orange juice and The Hulk (a Matcha Latte) mixed with almond milk. Taste Avocado Toast (8.9/10): The poached eggs were cooked perfectly, and the toast had the ideal level of crispness. The garnish on top of the avocado added a fresh bite to the palate. It was a very fulfilling portion and a definite "must-order" again. My only suggestion would be to offer a spicy version of this dish. Huevos Divorciados (9.1/10): You can tell the corn tortillas are handmade; they were light and crispy, layered over a bed of black beans. The andouille sausage was tucked under my over-easy eggs, all topped with salsa and crumbled cheese. In one bite, you get the crunch of the tortilla, the warmth of the creamy beans, the savory sausage, and the richness of the yolk. The acidity from the salsa provided a bright "pop" of flavor on the finish. Being from Texas, I've had my share of Migas and Huevos Divorciados--these didn't just pass the test, they aced it! Although I would have loved more spiciness choices. Pecan Cinnamon Roll (5 Stars): My Lord! There is something special about the crispy exterior produced by the cast iron skillet. The inside is creamy, warm, and gooey, with a buttery maple flavor that melts on your tongue. It's a party for the senses. Pairing it with their house coffee or the earthy, fresh Matcha makes for a blissful experience. Overall From the amazing server and service to the quaint, personal setting, this place is truly worthy of my "Delicious Gems" signature. With great pricing and a fantastic staff, it's a "can't-disappoint" experience. Whether you're taking the family for brunch or a special someone to make music over a breakfast date, The High Hat is the place to go if you want to make great memories. A St. Paul Minnesota Delicious Gem!

    Great menu and friendly service. Fall menu hit the spot with Pumpkin Spice Pancakes! So fluffy and delicious. Highly recommend!

    High hat hash, cornbread Benedict, classic breakfast #1 and classic breakfast #2
    Sef E.

    Super great spot for brunch, indoor and outdoor seating available in a well decorated atmosphere (beware of the bees). Great brunch options, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, eggs Benedict, and fun hash brown scrambles with fun twists. Good options for drinks and coffee too. They also have seasonal flavors and options available! Servers are very nice and knowledgeable of their menu!

    Huevos Divorciados
    Shawn B.

    Stopped into The High Hat and had the huevos divorciados along with the Funky Monkey cocktail. Both were super tasty--the huevos had a great mix of flavor and spice, and the cocktail was fun and easy to sip. What I really love about this spot is the vibe... laid-back, welcoming, and the vinyl records they play just add such a cool touch. Feels like a neighborhood gem where you can relax, eat well, and enjoy the atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

    Migas
    Nicole C.

    WOW! What an amazing place. First, the look- cute, cozy, feels like eating at your best friends place. Second, the people- so welcoming, friendly, kind and down to earth. Third- some seriously delicious food! Passion Fruit Mimosa- delightful! I had the Migas- the hit of the plate was the blue corn pancakes with honey butter. I could eat a full plate of them! I wasn't sure what to expect and they far exceeded my expectations. Husband had the challah French toast- YUM. Can't wait to return and try other items. Everything I saw plated looked SO good! Always fun to check out a new place and even better to know right away it will be a place we will return.

    Cute little brunch/breakfast spot. We sat outside - closer to the street. The waitress wasn't the most attentive but I think she had a lot to do. The food was good, very picturesque - especially the papaya and granola. Overall, quality breakfast in Saint Paul.
