Modern Times

"South Minneapolis cafe Modern Times churns out doughnut specials every week — they’re always vegan. Check Instagram for the latest updates, but expect everything from cinnamon-dusted mini doughnuts to mango lime, peanut butter-glazed, ginger with a pineapple-lemon glaze, and strawberry cream." - Serena Maria Daniels

"South Minneapolis’s Modern Times — a cafe, in its own words, “for punks (and their parents)” — has a uniquely, delightfully Minneapolis vibe. Weekend brunch is a smorgasbord of garlic kale and tofu scrambles; buttermilk pancakes drizzled with Wisconsin maple syrup; polenta rancheros served with poblano sour cream; and pastrami hash. This spot is especially accommodating for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free folks. Save room for a handmade doughnut." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff

"Another staple in Minneapolis’s punk cafe scene (with a cozy vibe, though — for “punks and their parents”) Modern Times serves salads and veggie bowls, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, pancakes, and the like, all made with organic ingredients and most vegetarian-friendly. There’s a separate vegan breakfast menu, too, complete with French toast, fried tofu and veggie sandwiches, and blueberry pancakes." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff

"Grab a seat at one of Modern Times’ umbrella-shaded outdoor tables for a brunch of buttermilk short stacks and breakfast burritos." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff

"Modern Times embodies the spirit of Powderhorn in restaurant form, drawing in groups of easygoing customers happy to wait in line for organic weekend brunch at the hand painted tables in this colorful, art filled, eclectic café. Menu offerings range from healthy-and-fresh to hangover-cure-with-a-generous-side-of-fries, and both breakfast and lunch menus have ample options for all diets, from vegan and gluten-free to carnivore. Load up on piles of garlic kale, avocado, veggie chorizo and vegan roasted poblano sour cream at the patio seating out front -- just don't forget your denim vest, this café is a favorite haunt of Southside punks recovering from last night's basement show." - Teagan White
