Lake and Bryant Cafe

Great laid back ambiance. Great place to study and gather with friends.Food is wonderful. Wonderful variety of food and drinks. The service is placing your order and wait for your name to be called. Definitely recommend it. The lines were long on a Sunday afternoon.

Nice breakfast and lunch spot with some vegan options. Apparently, they've recently changed ownership, so let's hope the quality stays.I grabbed a latte ($4.75) with oat milk (+$1!) to start and the garam masala tofu scramble ($10.75; vegan). The order was ready in under 10 minutes.The latte was solid, no complaints there.The tofu scramble was nicely seasoned, somewhat spicy, a bit under-salted, served with green onions and a bit of chopped tomato, with a side of fresh artisan bread that went nicely with it. I'd say this was a tad underwhelming -- tofu scrambles come a lot more interesting than this -- but good for the price.Nice interior and very comfortable. Solid spot.

The employees are either just grumpy or hipsters. I placed my child on the counter and the employee approached me in a not so friendly manner telling me to remove my child.Then I overpaid for a sandwich for my husband.

This is one of my favorite spots due to the cozy vibe. There are unique coffee flavors and a wide variety of food options. I got the oatmeal and they put quite the twist on it, lots of texture with goji berries, coconut, sesame seeds, walnuts and some maple syrup but not too sweet. I got the down to earth latte while it was okay i wasn't a fan of the pairings of saffron and rose. it felt grainy. I also tried the made for each other and really enjoyed this as it wasn't too sweet. The staff was kind, interactive and a bit silly when they called my name in a funny one. We laughed about it, it felt very genuine. I have gone here a few times and would go back. My one word of advice is go earlier so you have enough time to soak this place in. They close a bit earlier as they're a breakfast/ brunch cafe.

We were in Minneapolis for just a few days and decided on Lake and Bryant Cafe for breakfast. They had a good star rating so, why not. The menus isn't very big, we ordered the Matcha Smoothie Bowl and the Breakfast Burrito. The burrito was decent, the potatoes that came with it were the star of the show. The matcha smoothie bowl, on the other hand, not my thing. I'm sure others think it's delicious, I won't yuck someone else's yum but I did not care for it whatsoever. The ambiance was super cute and laid back, seemed like a great place to work, study, meet to catch up. There's always something, good, bad or indifferent. My "always something" is I wish they would have had another option for a smoothie bowl instead of just matcha. I'd go back for the burrito and to try the breakfast sandwich, that looked really good.

Was visiting out of town, came to check out this place and the staff was super friendly and recommended an awesome drink, love it.

Cute whimsical looking spot inside. We ordered at the counter. Pick up your drinks on the left of the counter. Staff will call out your name when your food items are ready to pick up your order from the counter. You will also need to bus your own table here as well. Staff are all attentive and efficient. We ordered a green tea pina colada, hot honey mocha with oat milk, steel cut oats less coconut flakes, masala tofu scramble with added Turkey bacon and the fire grilled chicken roll special . $46.18. The hot honey mocha tastes very much like a Mexican mocha. The green tea pina colada isn't my jam, but then again pina isn't my favorite, but that's the only green tea option here. The steel cut coat is nice, the blueberries, walnuts, brown sugar. The fire grilled chicken roll was super tasty and had big chunks of chicken in it. My masala tofu scramble is quite good with the Turkey bacon. The marrying of Indian flavors here really works. The croissant here is so buttery and flaky and unbelievably good. The tofu scramble comes normally with a white dinner loaf. It all worked out nicely that our hotel had s dismal breakfast for us. We got to discover this place our first full day here. :)

We were looking for lunch near our daughter's home and of course went to YELP! Saw the rating and reviews so we came to Lake and Bryant Cafe. We were very pleased with our breakfast burrito and Falafel Wrap. Coffee was great too. Service was great. We made a great choice!

Unique menu options and delicious lattes. Each time I've stopped in for breakfast the staff have always been courteous and patient while helping us place our order. I like the fire place and the plants all over the cafe. It really gives the space a cozy feeling and improves the atmosphere. I ordered a Matcha Smoothie Bowl with coconuts, matcha yogurt, goji berries, blueberries, mango purée, flax seeds, walnuts & date syrup. Wasn't very sweet and it was really creamy. I also had a orange lavender latte with lavender flower and orange zest syrup with oat milk. I ordered it iced but the barista accidentally made it hot, he offered to remake it but it wasn't that big of a deal so i accepted it and it was still pretty good. This spot is perfect if you're looking to stop in for a cup of coffee in a nice spot or even a quick grab and go. On-site parking lot, that wraps around the building, has exits both from Lake St and Bryant Av.

I go to Uptown every other week for an appointment I always look forward to getting their iced mocha it's made perfect every time I enjoy it so much!
