The 10 Best Restaurants In St. Paul 2024 - St. Paul - The Infatuation

"Neighborhood hangout Cafe Latte is where you can get a little of everything when you can’t decide what to eat. The cafeteria line feels a bit like high school, but with the grown-up fun of packing a plastic tray with excellent sandwiches, salads, and soups. The spread sampler never disappoints: pick the basil and green olive poblano dips, which pack a nice fresh punch, and slather them on a mini baguette. Pastries are constantly coming out of the oven and the super-moist, chocolatey-rich turtle cake lives up to its iconic reputation—a handful of locals have been ordering one on their birthday for decades. Head up to the second floor of the dining room for a more chill dining experience, and watch everyone from well-coiffed retirees to skateboarding teens come through for a bite." - stacy brooks
