The food was delicious. The atmosphere is super eclectic and fun. The service is a bit slow and there was a long wait. They were extremely busy, but it was an amazing experience.
What more is there to say besides excellent food, excellent portions, excellent service at reasonable prices.Ok, fine. There's more to say. On a Saturday @ 9:30am, expect a good 30 minute wait, but it'll be worth your time. *See above about stuff that's excellent*Interior is.... interesting. Very eclectic. Unique. Different. But that's all a part of the charm and character of the place.Manny S. was an exceptional server. Attentive and courteous and apologetic for swapping our two couple's bills. Maybe multiple times ? Give him a raise.Only small complaint that brings it to a high 4 is that at least two of the plates came out only luke warm. But it was delicious enough that we still scarfed down most of the food.Highly recommend everyone check this place out.Parking: Street parking only.
I've been wanting to try this place for a while and it was really good.The place is very cute in a nice neighborhood. We parked on the street.I ordered their daily special scramble and it was great, their potatoes were crisp outside, soft inside and the seasoning was delicious. The toast waz very good too. My husband ordered the poutine and he had loved it.The portions were pretty large and we took leftovers home. Their coffee was pretty good too.Service was on point and we had our waters topped at all times and coffee refills.We will be back to try some different dishes for sure.Bonus - they are located 4 mins from Lake Nokomis and we went for a nice walk right after breakfast.
Great find. Trendy atmosphere and good food. They add a surcharge for using credit/debit cards - otherwise they’d get 5 stars. Not a big deal, but that 1 extra star is my surcharge.If the owner reply’s to justify the charge - “cool story.”
Loved the colourful quirky decor in this warm and friendly cafe. The homemade corned beef hash was probably the best I've eaten in 20 years of travelling the USA. My server Virginia was lovely and took time to engage in conversation with me. Prices are reasonable and the food and experience memorable for all the right reasons.
Great atmosphere. Home-cooked taste. Nice Vibe. My son ordered the Pumpkin Waffle and I ordered The Bloomington which is scrambled eggs, Asiago cheese and bacon on sourdough bread. Not usually a fan of sourdough but I thoroughly enjoyed this meal.
A cute small restaurant that has a neighborly and welcoming atmosphere. I enjoyed the decorations in the facility. If you like vintage and quirky- this is your spot!vintage chandeliers, art, statutes, and lights, it’s all a travel back into time.Breakfast pancakes are huge!! I had a hard time finishing it all so be aware! Also fluffy!
I visited 'Hot Plate' for breakfast when on my way to the Minihaha Falls whilst spending a few days in Minneapolis. This is an off the beaten track restaurant / cafe that is rather quirky and unique with its interior decor. The walls are hung with hundreds of colourful paintings and the shelves are lined with hundreds of bizarrely cute figurines... but it works!! It really gives the place a unique and fun ambiance that I have never experienced in any other American restaurant. My server, Virginia, was lovely and even sat and spoke with for for a short while as I asked her about the best places to visit in the area besides the Falls. I ordered coffee and the Corned Beef Hash with 2 Eggs which was homemade and probably the best Corned Beef Hash I have ever had in the USA, (and I lived in California for 3 years and have travelled all over the rest of the USA regularly over the past 2 decades). With Tax my breakfast and coffee came to US$19.26 and it was worth every dime. I can highly recommend Hot Plate (and Virginia P) and hope to visit again some day.
Big group visiting Minnesota, and went to the Hot Place just to explore local places. It was a great surprise on such a good place for food and service. First visit we were a group of 9 and they were able to accommodate us in 10-15 minutes. Coffee was excellent, and food was really good tasting and with a homemade feel. Menu has great variety and some of the plates have a very particular twist and really good. Our first visit was such a good experience (food and service) that we went a couple days before with an even bigger group with the same good experience. Great job to all the staff and keep it as good. must certainly will visit again when going to Minnesota
Delicious! As you can see the portions were sizeable. Would recommend adding jalapeno to burritos.
