Been going here for 30 years. Love the whole vibe of the place.Food is simple, tasty, and healthy. Upstairs they have bulk herbs for sale. I have also taken a couple of classes here.What I don't like: If you order a fresh juice you will get what they pressed either earlier in the day or the day before from their ready to eat case. I prefer my juice freshly made while I wait.Love this place. In photos: Tao Bowl with tofu and the Earth Potion tea.

Best staff and service in uptown. The food is so good and looks amazing.Vegetarian options: One, if not the best vegan menus in mpls!
This place is spectacular. A friend brought me in to get some herbs to make some tea and first aid salves. I had NO IDEA how neat of a spot this truly is. There is a cafe in the front on the main level, that had thee most delicious smells permeating the entire space. Acend a spiral staircase beyond the cafe, and you'll discover a plethora of not only culinary spices and herbs, but a lengthy wall stocked with jar after jar of varying plant leaves and seeds, ground and whole herbs, and a host of other natural products one would find in such a particular place. Countless ingredients to create an endless list of beneficial health and wellness items, including teas, tinctures, salves, balms, and ointments. Natural medicine at its finest! I was incredibly impressed and beyond delighted upon taking it all in. And after all the glory of the bulk herbs and like commodities, there is a gift shop/emporium of some fun , kitchy things, alongside varying prepackaged natural healrh remedies and wellness aides. Additionally, they carry educational and instructional materials to aquire the skills to create the aforementioned remedies/aides for oneself. This place is a goldmine in terms of goodness one can aquire there. Not to mention, the excellent customer service I received while I visited. I inquired about a culinary item and they did not carry it. The clerk offered to take my number down and contact me if and when they got some in stock. Above and beyond and I'm a customer for life, now. Kudos and thank you for what you're providing to our community. Highly recommend!

Really cramped space. Food is overpriced for the small quantity. I got the buckwheat pancakes, very basic & plain, nothing to write home about, to add single egg costs +$2.50. However, the Sun Potion is delicious & the staff are really nice! My total was about $25 (plus tip). I won't be coming back though.

This cafe has an almost cabin-like feeling on the interior. The service was excellent and I really enjoyed the "radiance" smoothie/juice that I had. They also have a small shop within the cafe.

Stopped into Tao having neglected to take the few minutes to check it out on my previous excursions to the twin cities. Wow am I impressed.They offer a healthy variety of organic, locally sourced eats and even offer elixirs + health tonics as-well as coffee drinks & teas.I was greeted by a wonderful staff member who was very kind and helpful when asked about the menu / cafe.While waiting for your food, you are able to go explore the shop in the back which is full of herbal supplements, locally crafted goods, & a bunch more stuff that fit the holistic health vibe.Food itself was great and tasted very fresh. Super nutritious and I love that they go the extra mile to source quality, organic ingredients. Would highly recommend checking this place out!Vegetarian options: Most dishes can be modified to be vegetarian if not already. Clean organic ingredients.Dietary restrictions: Able to cater to a verity of dietary restrictions. Vegan / Vegetarian options available.Kid-friendliness: Welcoming environment for children, very kind people & calm setting.
