Hard Times Café

I like to come here and draw. There is always radical music playing from their record collection. It's a different atmosphere with amazing vegetarian and vegan food

Different but unique atmosphere with also delicious vegan food . I got the vegan breakfast sandwich , it had grilled tofu ,veggie sausage ,diaya cheese on a nice and soft bagel . The staff were very nice.

I love the system for ordering food - take a menu, write down what you want, take as long as you like! No pressure to pick what you want quickly, pronounce anything, or remember all the sides

Hard Times has the tastiest vegetarian Banh Mi in the midwest. Pickled daikon and spicy cilantro sauce complement spongy, savory seitan in what could be described as a culinary coup d'état.

I loved this place--the food was amazing! The only downside is that it's cash only , and I never have cash. Would definitely recommend though! (I got the Helter Skelter pictured below.)

One of the best places for post-holiday eating! this place is the ultimate diner for West Bank customers looking for an animal product-free meal and a rousing game of chess .

Hards Times draws a very unique crowd of people, so it always good for people watching or sparking up interesting conversations.

A half order of vegan biscuits and gravy for $3 is a lot more than you'd expect — and its delicious.

Before Hard Times, I didn't know that vegetarian food could be so spectacularly filling and delicious. (Or considered delightful drunk food.)

Breakfast with potato omelette & coffee a solid pick. Leave the vegan sausage patty . The salsa is very good

Enjoy great chai and breakfast all day while you get some work done.

Voted top ten late-night restaurants ! It's a collectively owned café that draws the nocturnal crowd, a refuge for musicians , artists , and other dwellers of the night.

Best vegan baked goods in town . Huge muffins and cookies . Cheap too. Day olds are $1. The "regular" coffee is french press . Very good.

The most unique coffee shop I've ever been to. Order the chai tea latte or a breakfast burrito and you won't be disappointed.

the banh mi is so delicious. I could drink a cup of the sauce that comes on top.

Tip well . One food order per piece of paper, listen for your name when your food is done. Drinks and bakery items separate from the barista.

Night is the best time to go get some biscuits and gravy . No annoying college kids bitching about the bathrooms or taking up the tables with their Mac books .

CASH-ONLY! Beware. The French Toast is wonderful, and the entire menu is vegetarian/vegan. Ordering is a bit complicated, follow the instructions and you'll be fine.

There are always multiple options for vegan baked goods . 😋

Breakfast burrito , I always get two meals out of it and it's delicious

TLT is the quintessential punk sandwich imo

There may be multiple Seth's ordering the same food...but then you get to meet them when you both go up to get said food!

Biscuits and Gravy are superb. Moon tea is amazing!

Sandwiches , sodas , and muffins

Quesadilla is excellent and more food that you would expect

The salsa is the best you'll ever experience. Get anything that comes with it. (I recommend the quesadilla )

So the sign outside boasts: "We have AC and Iced Tea ." Indeed. Also delicious Iced Coffee , free WiFi and food that i have loved for the last 17+ years!

Delicious breakfast food , strong coffee .

Get any dessert or the hummus plate ... oh and good people watching .

Best cafe ever! Been coming here almost 15 years. My fav menu item is the quesadilla and hashbrowns w/cheese. Aaron rules !

Still has the best vegan muffins on the planet.

Classic breakfast is a ton of food for under 10$

Have the vegan chili . It's just the right spice and you will not be dissatisfied!

Anything on the breakfast menu

Prices are fantastic!

Best sandwiches in the UMN area

If you're showing up late at night (and happen to be inebriated), do two things: Don't piss anyone off, and get an omelet . Vegetarian food has never been this unhealthy, and yet so satisfying.

Amazing vegan food and suuuper cheap
