French Meadow Bakery Café

This was my first time at this restaurant as I just moved to MN! To start, the food was very good. I?m vegan and I appreciate the tasty vegan food options. However, our server (Amelia) did a horrible job. We waited about 20 minutes without any servicebefore finally asking an employee walking by if we had a server. Our server finally came over to get our order, which we orderedapps, cocktails, and our entrees. She brought our apps out after 20 minutes and asked my husband if he got his drink yet, whichhe hadn?t but I had gotten mine. She said she would go check and then literally never came back. Another person brought out ourentrees and refilled our waters. She then came back and asked us how everything was and then said she forgot to come tell usthat they were missing an ingredient for the drink? which she later realized they did have so he finally got his cocktail after45 minutes. I asked if we could order dessert and she said she?d bring menus which of course she never did. We finally justasked her to bring a box and our check. She was very underwhelming and she ruined our first experience at this restaurant whichmakes me not want to go back. Also as we were walking out of the restaurant we could hear other employees yelling Amelia?s name.We ended up going elsewhere to get dessert.

Simply elegant. Love the food, people, lighting/atmosphere, location, and the health purpose the restaurant surrounds itself with. It has a bar area, bakery section and a breakfast/lunch menu. The bathrooms are nice, individual fully closed stalls and ashared sink, with a door opener! Gluten free, vegan, grass feed options etc. We ordered: ???? Grilled Turkey Rachel, with sideof tomato basil soup bread. The sandwich was juicy and yummy lol. Apparently they are known for their tomato basil soup andit?s good! We got a side of bread, 2 slices of sourdough, wish we would?ve asked for more. ????Tempeh Reuben, with side offries. Not as flavorful but really loved the tempeh sandwich. Fries were honestly really good, especially dipped in the tomatosoup. ????We got a slice of pumpkin pie from the bakery, tasty! Notes: ???? We went around 1pm, was busy but they still seatedus. I recommend reservation next time. ???? There?s outdoor seating! Didn?t get the chance to sit out there though. Next time!

Came here to eat and then left to go to the same restaurant at a different place, so the one on lyndale is 100 times better. Asked about ingredients and they couldn't be bothered getting details and the one we're at now got the whole list for us. Mybestie has extreme gluten allergy that even if it says gluten free some of the stuff is not doable. So that being said, not afan of a restaurant when they don't care about their own ingredients.

We had a reservation for a party of 13 with 4 kids for Mother's Day. Everyone seemed happy with their orders. The server was great. I just took a few pictures of food. Not a lot of space for that many people around two tables pushed together but it worked. They had kids menus and crayons. Would go again with a smaller group or just my husband and me.

One of my family’s favorite restaurants in the metro. They have good quality ingredients and great service. I enjoy their salads and their Zen bowl. The coffee, pastries and desserts are also mouth watering. They also cater to food allergies, offering gluten free options and customizing meals, which is a huge plus in my family!
