“This is a Mexican bakery and butcher shop. The decor is what you would expect in a business like this. The staff is very friendly. English is a second language so be patient. They were very helpful. The baked good options were plentiful and delicious.“
“A small coffee shop, specializing in specialty coffee and waffles with a rather impressive Vegan waffle menu.The Cajun Chicken waffle was cooked perfectly, however the additional of raw cajun spice on top served to overwhelm the flavors and left an overall salty flavor to the waffle, even with syrup. I will definitely be returning to try some other flavors as clearly waffles are their specialty and I have heard nothing but good things about their sweet waffles.Coffee, even in its simplest form, was well roasted and had a good flavor and aroma. Specialty coffees/mochas/lattes are well made and creative.“
“I’m the pastor at Diamond Lake Lutheran Church in south Minneapolis. We’ve recently begun using the Honey Whole Wheat rounds from this bakery for the sacrament of Holy Communion – this bread is delicious, for one, but also soft enough that it tears easily for distribution and dense enough that it doesn’t dissolve when parishioners dip it in the wine or grape juice. There’s a Goldilocks kind of science to finding the right bread for this situation, so we were delighted to find it here.Until last night – the night before Easter, mind you – when Sue, the volunteer who buys the communion bread, sent me a text. Apparently one of our Honey Whole Wheat rounds had been replaced with a Honey Bunny.A WUT.A Honey Bunny. Did we ask for this? No. Was there anything we could do about it? Also, apparently, no.Cue the sacrament of Holy Communion this morning at Easter worship, when I raised the Honey Bunny with his beady raisin eyes up in blessing during the Words of Institution (“On the night in which he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus took bread, gave thanks…”). My parishioners were confused. We sing every week about the Lamb of God but here was a baked bread bunny, and they did not know what to make of it. But then came the next part (“…and he broke it and gave it to his disciples…”) where I had to tear the bunny in half like some messed up, fluffy sacrifice, and then all hell broke loose.Grown men screamed. Babies cried. The kids at the little tables in the pray-ground threw down their crayons in disgust and walked out. Sirens wailed in the distance, and while they were probably unrelated, the timing fit.I think we may have unintentionally started a new cult. Worship next Sunday will either be packed or completely empty. The Honey Bunny is no longer available for purchase, according to the website. No one knows why, except maybe the Honey Bunny himself.5 stars. The Honey Whole Wheat bread from this bakery is delicious.“
“The Pho is the best I've had so far in the Minneapolis area. I have lived in both Orange County Little Saigon Area and Oakland so I know good pho when I try it. It is located in an Asian grocery store so you can pick up all the standards such as fish sauce and more. The ambiance is like a typical hole in the wall restaurant and the service is great. If you're in the mood for a good bowl of pho you will not be disappointed at Pho Tempo.“
