City PagesAugust 5, 2014Pancakes have certain curative powers: to quell hunger, to soothe a broken heart over a gossipy brunch, and to help soak up the toxins from a legendary evening. Read more
Death Valley Veggie Wrap is a must. Don't forget the waitresses don't come to you and make sure you look at the cool, old posters decorating the walls. Sip on a Tokyo Rose and give the place a chance!
Eri LaraAugust 30, 2014One of the best places to study comfortably and have good coffee! For an extra punch on those days you can't seem to stay awake, try the Mexican Mocha! Dark chocolate, cinnamon and honey!!! Yum:)
Corey PartinApril 20, 2016Great food with awesome vegan/vegetarian options. The atmosphere is fun and filled with vintage movie memorabilia and superheroes. The staff is friendly and fast paced.
Chris JDecember 13, 2014The superhero/monster cards for the counter (in order) are: Captain Marvel, Captain America, Bride Of Frankenstein, and Black Panther:
Joe BridgeJuly 25, 2015Awesome classic breakfasts: texas french toast, huge fluffy pancakes, perfect hash browns, etc. Free refills on coffee until 2pm. And the kids love it.- For me, the scrambles are where it's at. You really can't go wrong there. #15 is a personal favorite. A close second is #17 sans Turkey.
Amy SullivanApril 11, 2016The wait for food is a little long but the SERVERS ARE AWESOME. Food is delicious.
Jordan WhiteJanuary 31, 2015No "waitresses." You take your order to the counter. Great vegan/vegetarian options! Superhero themed tables.
You learn to love this place. Service is still iffy durin peak hours. But food is amazing. Get the Capitan breakfast. It's. delicious!
Bobby StapletonSeptember 25, 2011I love this place! People were super friendly and the food was delicious. Come before 2pm to get free coffee refills :)
The pancake is the the size of a spare tire and is mouth watering delicious. One bite will make your day!
huskyboiAugust 28, 2014Loved the breakfast menu. Order at your table and bring it to the counter to put your order in.
John VegasMarch 23, 2014Cool concept and fun restaurant. Menu and food was great. Will definitely be back. Service, what you'd expect!
Out of this earth scramble is a great meal for Any time of the day! And always a hot latte 😍
Kari M.November 24, 2012Eggs Benny was great. I liked the English muffin it came with, very fluffy and hearty, not hard and thin.- Noel N.August 15, 2011Love the pancakes. Great in the summer when the huge windows onto Nicollet are open. It's like sidewalk seating, but better!
They always have awesome seasonal specials. This morning I had a mango pancake with berry sauce. Delicious! The waitresses and cooks rock!!! I love coming here :)
Get the cheese omelet with chorizo and avocado! And don't forget to use hot sauce! :) Yummmm!!
Haeyoon ChangSeptember 13, 2011I got the macaroni and cheese and added grilled onions; the portion is huge (it's in the appetizer section). The bread was tough so I gave up on it but I'm never disappointed by the main course here.
I usually hate vegetarian chilis because they are soupy and mushy, but theirs is thick and hearty, with a little kick too! Try it!!!
Breakfast is served all day - the scrambles are delicious.
I've never been disappointed! The Vegetarian friendly selection is great.
Albie HamiltonNovember 12, 2013Service has got better over the years, but the name still states the truth. Food is excellent for the price point.
Christo CollinsSeptember 10, 2012Watch out for Punchy. He's behind the trendy vintage movie posters. Waiting. Watching.
- Had the awesome burrito special! It's delicious, but filling. $8 w/ hash and a drink! The waitresses are great. Should be called The Lovely Waitress.
Their Eggs Benedict is the best in the city. Rosemary hollendaise sauce = nuff said.
The French Toast is serious business...thinking it's the best I've ever had.
Vegan Sloppy Joe's are delicious! (even though they dont fit in the bun)
ToddMay 21, 2010The chorizo hash (#7) was awesome. Large portion too -I took a lot of it home. It tastes great the second time too!
Exi GonzalezMay 7, 2010Be the waitress in this awesome hipster place. You can even enjoy some of Minneapolis's own spy house coffee there as well!- Sardines McGeeFebruary 6, 2010The happy hour drinks weren't very affordable, but it's a good place to go to grab the Bread and Cheese plate. It's only $5 and is really quite good.
Anthony RossMarch 25, 2010Come here and order breakfast fare. If you're from the burbs (namely edina, Eden prairie, minnetonka) come on Sunday. And if you even ATTEMPT to flirt with Frankie, I will harm you........
Niqui Rodger (ruiz)August 30, 2011Try the pear cider. Also, they have a number of tasty vegetarian dishes.
honestly. the reason I sometimes decide to come here over my normal hood haunts us the nice big bowl of fresh fruit ou can order as a side. good stuff
Josh ReynoldsMay 8, 2018Breakfast sandwich with scrambled eggs was not good. Ingredients were solid, but eggs were cooked until brown and rubbery.
