Pretty much all of the food is good, the service is always awesome and the atmosphere is warm. I've eaten here quite a few times and always have a good experience. I don't know if it's inflation or what, but my most recent visit... I paid $20 for a teeny, tiny cup of fruit and a drink. I understand paying for good, quality food and drinks, but the size of this fruit cup was laughable. I actually giggled a little bit. You'd have to order 3 of them to even get close to the size of the usual restaurant style fruit cup.
My partner took me here for lunch, as he had been wanting to show me how great it was. I ordered the avocado toast with a vanilla latte, and both waters. The avocado toast was beautiful and well presented. I’m not a fan of sunny side up eggs. Understand that if you dine here, that the eggs on the avocado toast are sunny side up- and that’s polarizing for a lot of people. However, I had heard about everything being fresh and organic- so I tried the yolk with a bit of toast to examine the freshness of the egg. It was of good quality and had no musty aftertaste.Moving on, I noticed by a lack there of- this is a salt free restaurant. I was a little stunned, but accepted it. I’m aware that some green restaurants will forgo salt, as it can be highly processed. Usually though, the lack of flavor enhancing salt is replaced with other flavors such as lemon juice, lime, vinegar and wine. Well, not here. The dressings consist of herbs and oil, with a dash of vegetable juice if you are lucky.Back to the avocado toast...what I thought was cheese turned out to be ground egg whites. Underneath my egg, was a few slivers of dry red cabbage and onion, followed by a pile of dry spinach leaves. Under the leaves was a sliced avocado. It was unripe and tough. It rested on two slices of toast which were moistened with unsalted butter. The toast had the most flavor as a result of it being nutty wheat bread. It was blah and boring and dry as a bone. It cost $13 and tasted like a wooden nickel. I washed my three bites down with a vanilla latte that was without a single hint of vanilla. Too boring to even comment.Honestly, it’s glib and childish to deliberately present fare that is without seasoning, for the sake of freshness testing. That’s silly. To what end?! Ok, it’s fresh...now season it!!
The POC Minnetonka, People’s Organic Minnetonka is an amazing cafe. Organic, sustainable and delicious with a nice counter and lovely dining room. The menu is significant with standards and surprises. We enjoyed the excellent tea selection, chai and simple tea options. The service and server, Kayla were friendly, experienced and made our visit a great experience. Parking is easy and the cafe is just a little east of the 494 exit.
Some decent vegan and gluten free options. Sweet potatoes fries were good and so is the veggie wrap. Food was overall very dry, tasted microwaved.Wish there were more sauce options and more moisture in the entrées.
I used to go to the Peoples Organic in Wayzata when it was around and I was excited to go back as I haven't been in years. The espresso that was pulled was delicious and I ordered the California Wrap with a cup of their white bean chili on the side, everything was delicious! Good service and a homey little Cafe vibe. Will return when I'm in the area again!
Wow! If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would! We had brunch at the Minnetonka location today, and what a great place! Fabulous, fresh, organic, locally-sourced, unique food, healthful drinks, exquisite desserts (including gluten-free) and damn-good organic coffee and specialty coffee drinks. Very reasonably priced and fun atmosphere as well! They also have charming little patios in the front and back on their store - and they serve cocktails, so I certainly plan to return when it is warmer to patio-dine! Kelsey was our server and she was PHENOMENAL. Five stars!!! ?????
Lovely latte!Great breakfast sandwich - took a little longer than a drive-through because cooked to order! So well worth the extra couple of minutes!Sociable and very helpful staff, too.
Amazing cozy place with great coffee selection. Breakfast bowl was really tasty. Fresh ingredients. Amazing service.
Really wanted a healthy omelette on my way out of town so I made an online order. Received an email that had my order listed, and it said to wait to hear from them for a confirmation on when to pick up my food. 30 minutes went by and I had to leave for my trip, and still no word on when to pick up my $20 breakfast order. Decided to stop by and was hoping it would be ready for me, but instead the workers had no clue about my order. They stood there looking at me clueless, and finally said “they don’t know the password” to the system. No apology or anything. Nothing done for my inconvenience and my order was obviously not going to be made. So definitely disappointed and won’t be back.
Where rich people go to make a statement - fun to visit but not average joes. Hiked the local trail and stopped in for a burger. Ended up with a “Grain-fed Bison burger” with something like a “100% Sprouted Wheat” bun. Whatever. Add a wrap and two diet cokes - $50. So not a place for the working class despite the “People’s” marketing. Service was a bit slower than we were expecting but good enough and the wait staff were friendly. I ordered my burger without cheese and bacon - and it came with cheese and bacon. Waitress offered to replace it but running short on time so I just scraped it off. Taste/texture was fine - it is a burger so hard to screw that up. Partner indicated her wrap was decent but nothing to justify the cost. So I dropped one point for cost/value, and one for a messed up order. But this is Minnetonka where image is King and volume is often an afterthought. Lady next to us loudly chided her partner “are you serious?? You have NEVER been to Hawaii??” Home to the mid-life crisis Harley “gangs” in the summer, etc. They do use some products grown on site, and the extra effort to only use fresh products. I did feel a bit guilty ordering a side of “gasp” regular french fries (which were awesome”. So yes, not my thing but highly recommended - if you can afford it - to at least try and get a glimpse of how the now-rich hippies unwind with an organic meal (well, not sure about the fries, Diet Coke, alcohol, ….)
