Description:
DINKYTOWN. Al's greasy-spoon decor has been preserved for many years, along with a classic breakfast menu. Located near the university, the place attracts students and alums who are thrilled to return and find Al's just as they remember it. Deemed by some folks as the best breakfast place in the Twin Cities, Al's is known for blueberry and blackberry buttermilk pancakes as well as for omelets and eggs Benedict. They only take cash, and if you're in the door before 1pm, they'll happily serve you. A small place, so don't be surprised by waits. |

|

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Blood-red walls and stuffed vultures might not be the most inviting ambience for a morning meal, but the eats are so tasty at this road-food joint that you might not even notice. Try the house specialty, Mahnomin porridge – a warm blend of Minnesota wild rice, hazelnuts, cranberries, blueberries, cream and maple syrup that originated in American Indian cookery. Other equally appealing choices include ¼-lb. caramel rolls, huevos rancheros made with fresh salsa and rosti potatoes, and maple-glazed bison sausage. Be prepared: prices are commensurate with the quality of ingredients and the large portions. Not to be missed! |

UPTOWN. This old-style bakery serves gigantic cinnamon and caramel rolls that you can frost yourself!

Description:
DOWNTOWN. You'll find enormous portions of down-home breakfast fare served all day at this popular local chain eatery. Pancakes and omelets come dangerously close to falling off the edge of your plate, while eggs and just-greasy-enough roast beef or Italian sausage hash are favorites with regulars. Sweet treats abound for diners who need a little sugar in the a.m., including oversized cinnamon rolls with heavy glaze and a side of creamed butter. The place is known for breakfast, but a satisfying selection of sandwiches and soups is served for lunch and dinner. |

EDINA. At this delicious eatery, try baked Dutch Baby pancakes with whipped butter, lemon, and powdered sugar or oven-baked apple pancakes with cinnamon glaze. Another time, go for a gourmet omelet loaded with fillings and served with Swiss-style hash browns. Regulars have learned to show up before 7am, although breakfast is served any time of the day. Complimentary coffee is offered while you wait for a table. |

UPTOWN. Accommodating early birds and those who enjoy a good lie-in, Sunny Side Up serves breakfast items from sunrise until mid-afternoon. The usual suspects are all here, very reasonably priced.

DOWNTOWN. One of Minneapolis's most evocative dining rooms, BANK occupies the former space of the Farmers and Mechanics Bank.
