The moral of this story is -- this place is not consistently good. I moved to Mpls aprox. 10 years ago and use to love this place! It was my all-time favorite. I still go there often hoping for that 1 in 10 chance that my food will be great. When it's great, it's a taste sensation! Too often my food is half-cooked, chips are stale, coffee is burnt, and the croissant? what happened? They use to be light and flaky and wonderful! Now I think they might be using pillsbury dough and throwing it together :( The deserts are overly sweet and kept on the shelves too long. I do still love the curried chix sandwich and the breakfast burrito. But that's about it. They do accomadate gluten free, vegans and veg-heads which is nice. \r

The service has about a 50/50 chance of being good. The owner is a jerk, unfortunately I have met him on several occaisions and these occaisions were never complaints. He's very pompous and doesn't treat the staff well. Parking is a pain. The place is loud but this doesn't really bother me. There is outdoor seating which is always nice. \r

Again, you could luck out and have a great experience. Just don't expect the next time will be the same experience.
