Eggy's

Eggy’s is a Minneapolis breakfast favorite! They have the classics like omelets and pancakes, but what we love most about Eggy’s is their unique twists on our favorites. Try Eggy’s Benedict, which includes two mini waffles instead of an English muffin, or the Gyros Skillet. They also have something delicious called rolled pancakes, just sayin'. And a full bar, if breakfast libations are your thing!

Breakfast served Monday – Sunday 7am – 3pm.

Monello

Monello has just a few options on their breakfast menu, but they do it exceptionally well. The vibe is a bit more upscale, and the space is definitely worth checking out!

Prairie Kitchen & Bar

Prairie Kitchen & Bar offers a sophisticated twist on breakfast. Their menu is seasonal and includes locally sourced produce, meat, grains, and dairy products. Located on the ground floor of the Hyatt Regency, Prairie has a stunning space right along Nicollet Mall.

Just a few blocks from the Convention Center, Keys Café is a staple breakfast spot in Minneapolis. Generous portions of eggs, hashbrowns, pancakes, and their famous cinnamon rolls keep the place packed with hungry locals. Bonus: they serve breakfast all day!
