It wasn't quite as punchy as the name La Fusion Cafe implies, but it was a nice and easy meal. I did leave a little hungry, though. The locale is very very casual, with just a couple of small tables. I'm assuming that people mostly take their food here to go. It's also in an office building, so it would make sense for that. The gentleman behind the counter was very sweet and helpful. Overall, this is a nice place to get a quick, easy, and healthy lunch on the go.

The breakfast menu is extensive (that's a T not a P!) and it is filled with Wonderful Adventures in Breakfast! The orange juice tasted fresh-squeezed, my eggs, sunny-side-up were delicious and cooked in butter. The hashbrowns were crispy on the outside and sumptuous on the inside. And the coffee was The Perfect Coffee! (It was dark and rich and stood up to the cream and sugar that I added.) The steak that I had was grilled to perfection, I ordered mine med./rare. Everything I ordered was fresh, excellently prepared and delicious. And the hospitality ... EXQUISITE! I love this place! It has been completely renovated and is warm and sunny with a warm Minnesota ambience on a cold winter's morning. You can take my word, it is a MUST VISIT!

I visited Lake and Bryant Cafe hoping for a great Uptown breakfast experience, and while the…read moreatmosphere is certainly cozy--with a nice vibe and that famed fireplace lounge--my visit was a mixed bag that ultimately left me feeling disappointed. I ordered the breakfast sandwich, and unfortunately, it missed the mark. For a café that seems to put so much effort into its unique menu the sandwich felt processed and lacked the fresh, high-quality ingredients I expected. It was just an unsatisfying start to the meal. The waffle tasted like one of those store-bought belgian waffles However, I have to give credit where it's due: the espresso was excellent. It was nice and strong, clearly made from well-sourced beans. It's a great spot for a caffeine fix. The staff were kind and attentive, and the cafe itself is a great spot to work on a laptop, but based on the food quality of my visit, I can't give it a full recommendation yet. I'll likely be back for the coffee, but I'll stick to one of their more popular items next time.

I was looking for a warm drink on a gloomy Friday!I remembered The Finnish Bistro.I walked in and…read morethe first thing that stood out was the atmosphere.It was like I walked in to a cozy home.There were people laughing,University students studying and a stage...which made me believe they have open mic nights.There was a lot of local art.Just a rustic look everywhere. The menu is a Scandinavian theme. The breakfast and brunch are especially popular.They have items like pastries, quiche, wild rice soup, and unique dishes like Finnish-style French toast or sausage-based specialties. Portions are generous, and the baked goods are consistently praised as a highlight. I had the PULLA cinnamon roll,lemon white chocolate muffin and a lucky bun which was all suggested by Kayla who greeted me with a smile.The other employees were very helpful also and gave me the entire run down of their cafe. I was also encouraged to try the Kringler.I tried it with whole milk.I could tell coffee is their strong point.My drink was fantastic.The hints of cardamom all through the food was perfect! This place is laid back but they do bring it when it comes to good food.I will be back to try more of their breakfast menu!

Food takes a little time to come out as this isn't fast food. It's very good food made to order. So settle in have a conversation and enjoy the wait. Before you know it a plate is brought to the table of deliciousness. Ambience probably depends on time of day time of year. This morning it's pretty quiet relaxing vibe on a sidewalk with a slight breeze clear skies and relaxation in the air.

I waited way too long to try this place. Big mistake…read more @frenchmeadowcafe in St.Paul is such a cozy lovely place for a meal. The food was amazing, hospitality was cozy, atmosphere was relaxing to be in. Their menu has much more we will need to return to try. They have an additional location in Minneapolis and a spot at the MN State Fair every year! I'm most eager to get back here to try breakfast soon! Brunch / breakfast is my love language. This place was perfect for the dinner atmosphere we needed on a cold MN evening. It would also be a great pick for date night. The things we tried and you should too: Chicken Wild Rice Soup (10/10) Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich (with the Maple Chipotle Glaze) Almond Encrusted Walleye Redemption Burger their fries were also a bit hit at our table Basically we loved this place and can't wait to try more items from them For more awesome food spots check out the account mallorymademetryitmn on Instagram!

It's much quieter around then which was nice because in the evenings, it can get very loud which makes it hard to have a conversation. I enjoyed a pistachio latte, my partner a mimosa. We each got our own main - him a burrito, myself a breakfast bowl (both delicious) - and split a corn pancake. We had plenty of leftovers to bring home. The selection is better at the Minneapolis location, but the St. Paul location has its own charm and still plenty of options for people who are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. There's something here for everyone.

The restaurant is always clean and the service is excellent! The food selections are good organic choices. However, they removed the widely popular, absolutely delicious hot pastrami sandwich. Why? It just disappeared!!! There is no other comparable option to this sandwich on their menu. My heart is broken. I was forced to try another selection: the Bruschetta chicken sandwich. The jury is still out on this one. Not bad. Just not as GREAT as the pastrami one. I tried the ever popular cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting today. It's a one & done for me. The soaked in butter bread is a bit off putting for me. It's like oily wet bread. All of that butter upset my stomach. I only ate 1/3 of it...and had to toss it. Yeah, that's very disappointing. Money is tight...this meal was a real treat for me. All in all, BT is very good, great location, good service, good food.

This place is frequently packed, being below an apartment building and in a busy part of Northeast. Street parking is fairly easy to find, although you may have to walk a little ways. Order up front and they'll come find your table. We ordered the Pierogi Eggs and Sausage and a Bennie. The pierogi dish was filling but could have used a little more flavor. Still, with so many different things on the plate, it kept the meal interesting. Unfortunately, the eggs on the Bennie were overcooked, so we missed out on that perfectly runny yolk you want with a Benedict. The bakery case looked incredible, and they also have mimosas if you're looking for more of a brunch vibe. We ended up taking home a red velvet roll, which was dense and pretty decent overall. A solid neighborhood breakfast spot, especially if you're looking for something casual with plenty of options.

Looked so good!! Fresh orange juice is a huge bonus. What I am used to in Mexico and love!! Ordered simple egg, 2 meats and hash browns. Eggs looked fresh and tasted good. Bacon was thick but next time will ask for a bit crunchy. Hashbrowns were browned crispy. I had pancakes added for a small price as pancakes and french toast is a specialty they are known for. Light and tasty and they have "MN maple" which was delicious. I will come back again and try a Mexican breakfast burrito. I feel like that is going to be my go to. Counter service was excellent. Ambiance is local neighborhood vibe.

This is an order at the counter place, but staff is very helpful in explaining how it all works. I got a breakfast burrito and it arrived super fast. It was also big, stuffed full of beans, cheese and hashbrowns, so it kept me full all afternoon. The salsa on the side was tasty and has the kind of heat that sneaks up on you a bit. That just got me to get a glass of water in addition to my coffee, which was excellent. There were lovely looking pastries in the case but I resisted this time. I think there are 3 rooms, lots of wood on the walls and in the booth construction gives it a cozy feel. The all gender bathrooms are spotless.
