Brim

Visited 11/9/24. Probably like a 3.5/5 rating but rounded up. Visited with a large group of family (made a reservation using Google assistant calling for me which was kind of strange but worked out for us). The place itself is cute although slightly harder to access depending on where you're coming from. Parking may take a bit of time to because at times there can be limited spots. The place itself was super cute and people who worked there were very kind and accommodating of our group's needs. I got the lemongrass curry and added chicken. The curry itself was like a 3/5 or so-decent flavor but coconut milk flavor was slightly overwhelming and the chicken was in rather large chunks which put me off it a bit. BUT I do have to say that this place for my cousin who is gluten free and dairy free was a godsend and that she was visibly excited at being able to have so many options to pick from on the menu. The mission and execution of this place is so important and cool and I love that they are bringing tasty gluten free food and making it accessible for all. Major props

I'm so glad I stumbled upon Brim! The food, service, and ambience are all top-notch. The veggie sandwich and lemongrass curry bowl were absolutely delicious, and the chai latte and golden colada smoothie were the perfect accompaniments. I love that they use organic ingredients and every menu item is gluten-free - it's clear they care about serving high-quality food.The service was friendly and attentive, and the ambience was cozy and inviting. The farm-fresh vibe is adorable and makes you feel like you're treating yourself to a healthy, tasty meal.Overall, I highly recommend Brim for a quick, delicious, and healthy meal. Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu items!

Inside reminds me of a very cute simple coffee shop. Small table seating and some outside facing lake Calhoun. What's even better is they have an excellent, full menu of healthy organic choices. Oh even better, locally sourced ingredients! With that the prices are higher than some other places. A smoothie is about the same price as a meal but they have some pretty awesome smoothies. The lemongrass curry bowl was the perfect amount and very fresh. It was lacking in flavor though and missed that umph I was hoping for. An overall cute place for a quick bite.

Brim has become a staple for mother daughter lunch/ dinner dates. I typically get the same thing, but this time nothing was seasoned. I had to add lots of salt and pepper. Thankfully my salmon was fresh and hot. I'll come back with an updated review when a different cook is in!

Cute, neat, restaurant.I had the matcha tea and the Linda's Bowl which was a very generous size. The Salmon was way too salty but I did not bother to say anything to the staff. The other items like the beets, cauliflower, broccoli, local greens, and roasted sweet potatoes were fresh. The wild rice was a little too grainy and felt like it could have been cooked a little more to soften the grains. Overall, I thought the staff was nice and the smell of the food was enticing specifically the steamed rice. It just fell short of the taste factor.

Cute ambiance near Lake Bde Maka Ska. Food and drinks are good and healthy, but pricy

I have only tried Brim at the MN State Fair. I was excited to finally visit their location in Minneapolis, MN. They do not have a parking lot. You can do paid parking on Lake St or find a free spot on one of the side streets. This is on the corner of Lake and Knox. It was a bit of a rainy morning, but they were still able to have their doors open which let in a nice breeze. The vibe is really bright and cute inside. The menu is focused on local, organic, & even plant-based items.For some reason I expected them to have a larger coffee menu. They only had a few things listed or ordered. They also have smoothies, alcoholic beverages, and tea/kombucha.I ordered the Turmeric Ginger Latte - this was definitely good, but there was more foam than drink when It came down to it. I tried my friend's Iced Dirty Chai and that was FANTASTIC!Boujee Benedict - The menu states runny poached eggs, searched salmon, dill cashew cream sauce on focaccia. 1st the poached egg yolks were cooked all the way through- and one of the whites was runny. The salmon was delish, I loved the dill cashew cream sauce as well. I would definitely try this again and just ask them to make sure the poached eggs have that runny yolk because I do love a good runny yolk. The focaccia was awesome and so soft/flaky.I would like to come back during lunch time and try a different menu item for sure. Many things sound good.

Nice location, next to Calhoun and all that. But be prepared for ridiculous pricing. We ordered 2 Mango smoothies $10 each no problem. But the two simple cake donuts like you buy at Cub...$6.00 each! All in, 2 smoothies 2 donuts set us back $37.00 out the door. See pics.

Oh my god - whether you're GF or not, go. Visiting the Twin Cities, I ate here daily. The bread is the best gluten-free bread I've had in decades without gluten, and the soups, drinks, etc. are just as incredible.

I went to the bathroom with the keypad on it and apparently that door doesn't lock at all. I learned that because 4 people walked in on me while I was in there. There was no sign on the door. I even moved the trash can against the door and people kept blowing through that! I went and told 2 employees and they said "unfortunately we are aware and have told management, but they haven't fixed it yet" Leaving a bad review due to this matter! Management, please fix that immediately and in the mean time, there should be a sign hanging!
