Hope Breakfast Bar - West End

“This restaurant is one of the best places you can visit for breakfast in Minneapolis. It is truly a wonderful and unique restaurant, from its dishes and views to its menu. I was looking for waffles and found out they specialize in them—a truly unique and beautiful experience! Their drinks menu is also excellent, especially their espresso and its varieties. You never get tired of this wonderful place.”

“This was my third visit here over the past year, and I can confidently say this place delivers every single time. I recently brought my kids with, and just like the previous visits, we all absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is welcoming and has a great energy, the staff is consistently friendly and attentive, and the food is outstanding. Honestly, we were sitting there wondering how this place doesn’t have at least a 4.5-star rating, because the overall experience is that good. What really stands out is how unique everything feels. The dishes aren’t just standard menu items, they each have their own creative spin with flavors that are memorable and genuinely enjoyable. And if you’re into coffee, this place is on another level. The variety and creativity in their coffee and latte options make it a fun experience all on its own. This is the kind of spot you keep coming back to. Whether it’s a casual outing with family or celebrating something special like a birthday, you know you’re going to have a great experience. I truly hope this place sticks around for a long time, because we’ll absolutely keep coming back. It deserves more five-star reviews, no question.”

“This is my go to Saturday coffee spot. Absolutely love everything about this place! Staff is awesome. No matter busy, service is always great. Both the coffee and food are great! Absolutely love the pimento eggs, thier bagel sandwich, biscuits and the pineapple coconut french toast! They also have a pistachio martini that is by far my favorite drink they offer. The mimosa tower is great too! I recommend making reservations. 10/10 definitely recommend.”

“First time visiting and we had a great experience overall! The mushroom gravy and red velvet waffles were absolutely delicious- definitely the highlights of the meal. The pistachio martini and breakfast shot flight didn’t quite hit the mark for us, but the bright, open dining space and genuinely friendly service made up for it. We’ll be back to try more!.”

“Service and atmosphere were excellent—welcoming and lively without feeling overwhelming. We visited on a busy, warm Sunday and were pleasantly surprised by how short the wait was for walk-ins. We ordered the chai, croissant sandwich, banana cakes (pancakes), and the Hope breakfast meal. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The portions were generous, and while it’s a bit on the pricier side, the quality and serving sizes make it worth it. If you have a sweet tooth, the banana cakes are a must-try—definitely the standout of the meal. Highly recommend!”
