Crema's Take

Lake and Bryant Cafe is a thoughtfully curated neighborhood spot where specialty coffee meets adventurous breakfast cuisine—think garam masala tofu scrambles and tikka chicken sandwiches alongside carefully sourced monthly espresso selections. The space feels like a genuine gathering place for Minneapolis, with an anti-establishment ethos and genuinely warm service that keeps folks coming back for the full experience, not just the caffeine. Fair warning: their plated food presentations occasionally don't quite match reality, but when the kitchen nails it (and they often do), it's the kind of meal that sticks with you.

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast on the menu.

We stopped by Lake & Bryant for brunch and were pleasantly surprised. I had the chicken tikka sandwich, and it was fantasti. The bread was perfectly warm and toasted, and the shredded chicken tikka was super flavorful. Simple, but it packed a punch. We also tried the extra…
