Was here for an event at the hotel and thought I would come for a crepe. It was made to order and tasted good. A little overpriced for what it is on especially their dinner items (22 for falafel platter). The turmeric chai was good albeit a tad bit watery. I have had better and worse. Would say actual glass plates would be nice or non styrofoam as the crepe was hot enough to slightly melt my plate. It was a bit unbecoming. The service is a bit on the slow side and not exactly the most polite ether. For a quick grab and go bite it was what I needed in the morning. The ambiance to put it lightly is cramped. They have 4 tables and a guitar and piano. For seating you might be better off if you take it and sit in the hotel area. read more

Vitali's Cafe - Nutella crepe and turmeric chai tea latte - Creperies Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

A small, narrow cafe located inside the Hyatt hotel on the second floor. Tuna Melt Wrap 2/10 - very dry, small, and flavorless - just seems like canned tuna thrown into the wrap - overpriced for what you get - sauce isn't good -- very watered down There was only one person working here, so service was incredibly slow. Unfortunately the food wasn't worth the wait! read more

Vitali's Cafe - Tuna Melt Wrap - Creperies Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

One of my favorite restaurants. Food is very fresh, and healthy feeling while being extremely tasty. Could not ask for a nicer owner either! read more

Great lunch stop during a conference! Loved their savory crepes (lox + salmon, pizza, falafel, and mushroom)

Food was excellent and reasonably priced. The owners were attentive and kind and we will definitely be back the next time we are in the area. read more

Our group enjoyed the crêpes are wraps that we ordered. I had a tuna, which was pretty good. It would've been nice if there were some lettuce and tomato also in the wrap. my friend got the mushroom which had good veggies included and she really enjoyed . There was a delicious garlic sauce that they served with the savory wraps . Another friend chose the peanut butter chocolate and fruit crêpe and she thought it was delicious as well. The place is small and claustrophobic so we chose to eat out in the hotel area where they had tables. The service is a little on the slow side, but the food was delicious! They have coffee drinks as well as hot tea to order . read more

This was an amazing meal, which I did not expect from a place in the mall. I had an amazing and healthy portabella mushroom crepe that came with a side of fresh cut potato fries. It was honestly 5-star food. Will eat here again! There was no one at the counter, but there was a sign that said to ring the bell and someone came right out, so don't let that fool you that no one is there. read more

OK first of all the crêpes are to die for. But unfortunately I can't give a five star review because it takes F O R E V E R and the service leaves a lot to be desired. They definitely need to hire some employees. I think it's just a husband and wife team, those are the only two people I've ever seen working. The fact that it's in a hotel means you can't just go grab a quick lunch here. If there's a line, plan to wait an hour or more. I think this place would be better if they would acknowledge you when you got in line and let you know about how long it will be before they can take your order. There needs to be someone taking orders and someone doing the cooking. When I went today, the husband was in back doing something the whole time instead of helping wait on customers, so it was just the wife doing the cooking and order taking. She did not acknowledge me or anyone in line until she was done making the crêpes and coffee for the person ahead of me. Once she took my order, it was about 25 minutes before it was done. All in all I waited probably 40 minutes total. BUT like I said, at the beginning of my review, the crepes are to die for and worth the wait, especially if you are staying in the hotel, because the food and the service in the hotel restaurant is terrible. We always get the lox and cream cheese. This time I thought there was too much cream cheese, and not enough lox, especially at the price point they sell them for ($14). But we will definitely be back every year when we stay in this hotel, just don't be in a hurry when we go. read more

On the second floor of the Hyatt (the meeting level)-- you'd never know it was there find it from the street. A tiny nook, order at the counter, lots of tables on the meeting level outside. A little pricey for crêpes, but you're paying for the Hyatt location. They do make a good effort to provide healthy choices. read more

Vitali's Cafe - Vitali's, on the second floor of the Hyatt. - Creperies Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

The food, service, and ambiance here are all great, but I'm giving them a 3 instead for 2 big reasons: 1. Finding parking and finding the restaurant is not easy (it's on the 2nd floor of the Hyatt Regency and can access through the skyway, but took some searching even knowing that information). 2. The very small size creates a bit of a wait for food, there is very limited seating in the actual cute restaurant (basic seating available outside in the hotel), and they are not very environmentally friendly! Even though we had our lunch there, everything (plates, silverware, cups, etc.) was plastic/paper. I got the turmeric chai latte and the Greek style crepe. They were both delicious - there's nothing like a fresh made crepe. Even though it was a lot of food (I got the normal size, not for 2), I didn't feel guilty for eating it all since it was loaded with veggies (sliced baked eggplant, olives, baked zucchini, carrots, and onion.) Wouldn't have been mad if there was more feta cheese though... read more

Vitali's Cafe is located on the second floor inside the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. Stopped in one afternoon while attending a conference at the hotel - ordered a double shot espresso with a bit of half n' half foam on top. There is some limited seating inside. The place was overly hot during my visit - the HVAC is not well designed for this small cafe. The espresso was strong and tasty! #VitalisCafe read more

The crepe was made fresh to order. We ordered the mushroom crepe, which was full of ingredients - in addition to mushrooms, there was zucchini and carrots, all fresh and delicious. The coffee was freshly ground and brewed. A very good start to the day. read more

Somehow I didn't know about this cute little spot so close to my work! Great fresh Israeli salad and mushroom wrap. Can't wait to try the falafel next! read more

I am so happy we found this place! Thanks YELP! It was tucked away inside a hotel building-- which made it difficult to find-- but totally worth it! I'd recommend this place to anyone, whether they love crepes or are just looking to try fun food. You can tell the owners are so very passionate about their cafe and it's so wholesome and sweet to see them working together. They are such lovely people. The food was phenomenal! I am here writing this review almost half a year later because I still CANNOT STOP THINKING AB THESE CREPES!! I highly recommend seeking out this place and eating here! read more

They are never open when I want to grab a coffee, like during regular business hours. They HATE people who attend conventions at the Hyatt. It's super unwelcoming and sad. The staff definitely do not want to be there and shoo people away with a grimace on their face. They use a chair to block off their cafe and shut the lights off with one staff member always just hiding in the back. read more

I love to support local shops. I always stop in here when my kids are playing baseball at Skippy field. They have great coffee and espresso. They offer fresh ethnic baked goods and crepes. On a revent stop I had a tripple espresso and a pasty filled with eggpllant and feta, it was glorious! The staff is very nice and friendly. They have live music and DJs some of the time. They also have free wifi and a clrean restroom. I think they are also Kosher! read more

Went here for a quick bite to eat. It was super hard to find because I didn't realize it was inside of the Hyatt hotel on the second floor. It's a super small place. I got a chocolate chip muffin and it had maybe 4 chocolate chips on the inside and was super dry. I was not impressed and would not go back. I suppose it's a decent and convenient place if you are staying in the hotel. read more

This is my first time at a crepery and I'm now a fan! I had the lox and cream cheese crepe first. It was very good- creamy and savory with a good balance of cream cheese, lox, and capers. I had the cheesecake crepe for dessert and also enjoyed the flavors. I'm a fan and would love to return! Also- they make the crepes from scratch! read more

The worst latte I've had in a long time. If you want a flavor add +$3 to the cost...I paid to add flavor and it was still horrible. Don't waste your money. YUCK! read more

A gem of a place worth discovering, the kind of cozy, pleasant little restaurant you'd expect to find in Paris or New York tucked away on the second level of the Marriott. Parked on the street, easily found a meter I believe it was fifty cents for an hour which was nice. Entered hotel and was directed to elevator, found Vitali's on second level. Wonderful ambiance, mouth watering fares (and between falafel and hummus and tabouli was all plant based which was appreciated, they also have plenty of other meat options.) A pleasure so glad I made it out highly recommend thank you!!! read more

I used to live near Vitali's and was told by a friend it's a must. Saw a Yelp review by Nir H. to order a falafel wrap with portobello and a Greek salad with green sauce.... wow, what a great combination! Seriously, complimenting flavors. The service was quick and friendly. Easy to find location and plenty of parking in their lot. I will for sure come back and try more things from their menu. read more

So many things are wrong with this place: *LOUD acoustics *coffee shop atmosphere minus the cozy/attractive areas *really SLOW service *tough, rubbery crepes *white fishy salmon I could elaborate on each of those points, but I think by the one star you can tell I wouldn't send ANYONE here. Who wants to read more terrible details? read more

Four of us ate at Vitali's Bistro on a Saturday night, and I can't say enough good things about the food, but our perception of the food might have been influenced by our state of near-starvation by the time the food arrived about 40 minutes after ordering it. To be fair, Vitali's had just begun offering live music on Saturday nights, and clearly did not expect the crowds that came with it. Every seat was full, and they even brought out folding tables and wiped the snow off the outdoor furniture to squeeze more seats inside. But all the seats and staff in the world can't speed up the preparation of the food, especially for something like crepes that need to be made one at a time, to order. That said, the food really was delicious. The salmon vegetable crepe was the agreed-on favorite, but the paninis and pizza were excellent too. Vitali's is a kosher restaurant, but it's one of the rare kosher restaurants that is completely worthy of the business of kosher and non-kosher diners alike. In other words, it's good, not just "good for kosher." read more

Yelp led me to this hidden gem located on the 2nd floor of the Hyatt Hotel in downtown Minneapolis.

Vitali's Cafe - The Greek style crepe - eggplant, carrots, zucchini, onions, feta cheese, and a tasty dipping sauce. - Creperies Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Cozy place and friendly staff. The menu offers a little bit of everything panini sandwiches, salads, sweet and savory crepes, breakfast, and my most favorite pizza. The dough is made from scratch, you can add fresh veggies as toppings. Very delicious. I also want to add that not many people know that Vitalis Bistro is a kosher place, and many people don't even know the meaning of kosher. Here is an article for people that want to know and understand the meaning of kosher: What is "Kosher" "Kosher Meat"..."Kosher Pickles"..."Kosher Deli" - In today's world, we encounter the word "kosher" in almost every section of the supermarket. Anyone can tell you that the term "kosher" has something to do with the Jewish food market. But what does it actually mean? Many will have to admit that they have no idea... "Kosher" - a Definition "Kosher" is a Hebrew word that literally means "fit" or "proper." When used in relation to food products, "kosher" means that the item in question meets the dietary requirements of Jewish law. Why Kosher? Why do Jews eat kosher? From the Jewish point of view, kosher food is the optimal diet for our spiritual health, while foods prohibited by the Torah are the trans fats and refined sugars of our unique spiritual metabolism. Hope it helps to understand a little bit what kosher means. Stop by and try healthy and tasty food. read more

I love this food so much!!! I keep coming back here. Everyone else I brought here also approves. Today I brought my parents and my two little sisters (very picky eaters) we ordered mushroom, lox, goat cheese, and mixed-berry crapes.... all of them tasted so so good! Even my little sisters cleaned up their plates and were very happy with their mixed-berry crapes!!!! It is a tiny place with limited seating, but I think it's charming... besides there's plenty of room outside! Another drawback if you're coming with a big group - it takes a while for your food to be made... that's only because everything is made from scratch and is super fresh and delicious! read more

Fantastic neighborhood gem. The food is high quality and has a great Israeli vibe. I feel like I should be looking out the window at the Mediterranean, not at St. Louis Park City Hall. And the people who work here are very nice. I'm not kosher, but I AM a nice Jewish girl and a semi-vegetarian, and I really appreciate this place. But even if you're neither of those things, you need to try this place out because the food is like nothing else around. (The food is milchik kosher-- which means dairy and fish, but no meat.) What to get: you can't go wrong with the crepes. I've tried a few, but the lox and cream cheese is amazing. The sweet ones are all good too. The crepes may seem a little pricey, but they're quite large. One is more than enough for a meal. I've yet to try the sandwiches on the menu or the falafel plate, but iI can't wait to try them. I also LOVE the avocado salad! This comes with what appears to be at least one ripe, beautiful avocado, onions, tomato, and a sweet-tangy sauce that pulls it all together. I could seriously just eat a bowl of that for dinner. There's a bunch of other salads on the menu that look intruging (like a Korean salad) and I will have to try these when i can tear myself away from the avocado salad. The baked goods look REALLY good. So far, I've only tried a ginormous chocolate biscotti, which was homemade and fantastic. read more

Going to give this place another try but first visit here was just not good. Service was great and he lady at the counter was super friendly! Let's get to the food now, I'm assuming this place isn't known for there seafood but seriously if you charge $11 for a fish sandwich that was slightly better then a Burger King fish sandwich you probably shouldn't be serving it at your restaurant. The fish was deep fried and very crusty and dry. It was served on a ciabatta type sandwich bread and that's it. Meat and bread. The sauce on the side was extremely garlicky but it had decent flavor. The best part of the meal was the Israeli chopped salad. Like I said will give it another try but was not impressed for first time. read more

Went here for breakfast while traveling, and had the breakfast burrito. My burrito was piping hot, well cooked, fresh, and attractively arranged on my plate. The owner actually works right at the counter, and even introduced himself, and his wife and son, who happened to be stopping by. This place has an alluring and international decor, with retro posters of exotic locals, seeming to be travel advertisements from the 20's and 30's. There is delightful international music softly playing in the background, as well as a children's play area, a great children's menu, and I understand that at night, Vitali plays concerts. I sat right near two of his guitars, sitting in stands, ready to be played. Overall I was really impressed with this coffee shop/ restaurant. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. read more

Very friendly people. I ordered the cheesecake crepes. I did eat a crepe before I came here so maybe it was too much sugar for me that day. The food was good for me because I don't like too much sweet crepes but I think it would be delicious for people who like a little more sweet. The place has a nice food smell when you enter. I would come back to try other types of crepes. read more

We just returned from Paris where we had crepes everyday so when we saw that Vitali's Bistro makes crepes, we had to stop in. I ordered the NewTella crepe and it was delicious. The crepe is thicker and chewier than the ones we had in Paris, but it was still really good and the NewTella, they make from scratch! It taste so much better than the stuff in the tub. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

If you haven't been to Vitali's Bistro (5101 Minnetonka Blvd, St. Louis Park) then you've been missing out on a GREAT little restaurant. I've driven by it a couple of times and often told my wife we're going to try it, but I'll admit that we were both a little scared away by the term "kosher." We grew up in Iowa where nothing is kosher (except for the dill pickles that you buy at the grocery store) and weren't really sure what to expect. Well, turns out that "kosher" was just a way of preparing their food and it had no effect on the taste of anything. This place is the bomb. There isn't a huge menu, but it does suffice as a "bistro" and covers all three meals of the day including dessert (plus ice cream) and coffee. I have heard that their Blini (crepes) are out of this world good but didn't try any on my first trip there. Since there will most definitely be other trips, we'll be sure to sample those later. They have pizza, salads, soups and sandwiches and you can even get breakfast there. Bagels, omelets, breakfast burritos and authentic Hebrew lox (salmon smear for your bagels). Never had it but I will try it one day. I have very little experience with falafels and decided to go ahead and sample the Falafel platter at Vitali's. These are the best I've had so far. There might be better ones out there, but these are very good. Served with Israel salad (similar to a Greek salad), hummus, tahini and pita bread. This is really a filling portion. The coffee drinks are nice and strong as they should be! The staff is friendly and helpful and did a great job of making us feel welcome at their restaurant. The place is clean and is decorated to make their guests feel warm. There really isn't much that I don't like about this place. The prices are also decent. We really liked Vitali's Bistro and give it full recommendation. Give them a shot! read more

This place is nothing short of amazing. There is literally something for everyone. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee and dessert. EVERYTHING.

Been going here two to three times a month all year long. It is worth your money - the food is healthy especially the Israeli salad and red lentil soups and green smoothies -i'm a sucker for their crepes. They do cater to the local / nearby Orthodox community and lack the fast service and minimum-wage workers of a corporate owned chain. If that bugs you, grow a heart (or find another country to live in! ;) ) read more
