The High Hat

I've been wanting to try this place but because there are no reservations I was always hesitant to go on the weekend. So I ended up taking my grandma on a Monday for her birthday. We got there around 11 and there was only 1 table open and 3 seats at the bar. We opted for the bar so we wouldn't be seared right next to the door. We were greeted and served right away. The server offered her suggestions on drinks and food. I got the matchatini- matcha, vodka, pistachio and cream marshmallow cold foam. Omg! This was amazing. For my meal I got the Migas- an egg scramble and blue cornmeal pancakes. This was the perfect combination of salty and sweet. The pancakes don't need any syrup because they are already sweet and are served with honey butter. It's small but cute and the food was delicious!

WOW! What an amazing place. First, the look- cute, cozy, feels like eating at your best friends place. Second, the people- so welcoming, friendly, kind and down to earth. Third- some seriously delicious food! Passion Fruit Mimosa- delightful! I had the Migas- the hit of the plate was the blue corn pancakes with honey butter. I could eat a full plate of them! I wasn't sure what to expect and they far exceeded my expectations. Husband had the challah French toast- YUM. Can't wait to return and try other items. Everything I saw plated looked SO good! Always fun to check out a new place and even better to know right away it will be a place we will return.

This was our second visit and it was as good as the first which was amazing. Allie and Michael are fabulous and welcoming.We had the cinnamon roll this time, first time caramel roll-I can't decide which I liked better. The cream cheese frosting (chefs kiss) or the toasted pecans. It's like Sophie's Choice. For brekkie, we had the huevos divorciados and the cornbread Benedict. Both super yummy. Only critique is I would have split the cornbread in half and put one egg on each so the ratio of egg to bread was a little more equal. Can't wait to get back and work my way down the menu.

I heard great things about this cozy establishment from a local. The staff were friendly and attentive. The decor was warm, friendly and casual. I had the cornbread Benedict (not something I have come across the US). The cornbread was delicious, with a layer of seasoned ground beef, eggs, etc. The coffee was very good. Will be coming back.

High Hat is quickly becoming one of my favorite breakfast/brunch spots in St. Paul, maybe the whole twin cities. It is small but they still fit many people in without feeling to crowded. Lots of vegetarian options- many of them Minnesota takes in creole food. Everything was excellent

The high hat is a brunch oasis in the middle of the Twin Cities! Upon coming in, I was greeted with the most amazing server. I've met in a while! She matched my energy, turning to give me and my friend the dine of our lives and she did just that! Upon being seated, you must order the pecan roll, skillets and smash the butter in the middle of the roll as this appetizer is a pit-of-body experience! it is soft, with a light crunch and the caramel and the bread taste like it was made at grandma's house!We ordered breakfast here and were absolutely obsessed with the flavors! I ordered the Migas with the blue corn and cakes, which left such an impression on me. I'm still thinking about it days afterwards! And my friend ordered the cornbread Benedict Mitch both were a 10 out of 10! I have the pleasure of meeting owner Michael, who takes absolute fried in his restaurant from the tiny details of a lizard wearing a top hat in the wallpaper to the ceiling tiles feeling like old St. Paul, this beautiful restaurant is a necessary stop for your brunch excursion!Thanks again, Mike and a Molly, for making brunch unforgettable again! I'll be back!!

LOVELY breakfast this morning at The High Hat! Come early for easy seating on weekends. Attentive servers who kept the coffee flowing! Good food, good prices, good vibes. A tiny place with lots of character in an excellent location.

Extremely delicious brunch, in a totally cool hipster venue, in the heart of beautiful, historical St. Paul. Service was friendly and all kinds of welcoming. Even the music was cool: they have a record player with rad old funkadelic-kinda records playing. I ordered The Migas and The Hulk. I was a little hesitant as a Mexican-American to order something Mexican off the menu, thinking I might be disappointed. Needless to say, I very much was not. The Migas rocks. The blue cornmeal cakes were all kinds of delightful, and my green matcha drink was heavenly to sip while looking out the window at the falling snow. Don't miss this place when you are in town.

I can here on a Saturday morning with a girlfriend! There were a few open spots when we arrived so we were seated quickly. Our server was so kind--refilling our coffees during our girl chit chat, checking on us the right amount, and making sure we got exactly what we wanted. I had the huevos divorciados which reminded me of chilaquiles. I'm a sucker for the crisp corn tortilla with a perfect runny egg and flavorful salsas (both red and green!). Served with perfectly fried sweet plantains! I walked away very satisfied.

Best breakfast in St. Paul, and I've had it all. Service is incredibly warm, personable, attentive and fast! The ambiance is extremely cute, cool and homey! You can also bring in a vinyl to spin, or chose from their vast collection of records! Would recommend the highhat to anyone!
