HARD TIMES CAFE REVIEWS

Classic diner food and vibes but vegetarian and vegan-ified. Got the vegan helter skelter with rye toast and tried the biscuits and gravy. I am obsessed with the gravy on the biscuits! Helter skelter was simple but had fresh veggies. Recently had an amazing chai cupcake there! This place is cash only so make sure you bring cash. You write your order on a slip and hand it to them to pay.

I’ve been here three times in the past three days. It’s my first time visiting Minnesota in the winter and im in love. Great food and portion sizes for the price you pay are worth it every time! Eclectic atmosphere and study session friendly. Always great tea and coffee. Worth the cash only experience.

Insanely delicious, best food we had during our week-long visit to Minneapolis. Their Vegan Chef Challenge dish of okonomiyaki was cooked to perfection.

THE HERBIVOROUS BUTCHER REVIEWS

Been following this place on social media for years, but never got a chance to try out their products. Walked in the shop today and was amazed by how beautiful and authentic this place looks, really great job to the owners and team. Ordered two hot sandwiches, both were outstanding. The prices are pleasantly moderate and the servings are large. Five stars all the way, keep it up.

I had bacon from The Herbivorous Butcher at a local restaurant and absolutely had to have more! I got their breakfast sandwich, which was huge! Fluffy tofu and delicious vegan sausage with a tangy red pepper sauce. Delicious.

This is a small local deli-style joint specializing in vegan meats and cheese, also selling some sandwiches, brats, and vegan baked goods as well. I went here for the first time recently and really enjoyed their sriracha bratwurst and also their havarti cheese. I look forward to returning back and trying more items.

TRIO PLANT-BASED REVIEWS

The food here was absolutely mind-blowing. Easily the best cauliflower wings I’ve ever had. The food was cooked fast and I love that the restaurant is family owned! The owner chatted with us for a bit. There’s cool artwork on the walls to purchase. I cannot praise this place enough! My non-veg family loved the food here too. The fries portions were huge and delicious.

Love it! We went to eat at Trio for my birthday today without really knowing anything about it. The vibe was relaxing and the vegan food was great. The fried cauliflower was perfectly crunchy. My toddler loved the food too. (There is a kids’ menu but we just shared food from our meals.) The people were very nice.

I got the bbq pit. As some who is not vegan absolutely delicious! My sister no longer lives here but the Mac attack is her favorite food in the world so she had to get it! The appetizer of onion rings is huge! The cookies are enough for four! My favorite part was the ranch! I’m obsessed! Yes you can buy a bottle.
