French Meadow Bakery Café

Not very good as it’s hyped up to be. We only came here since we had a gift card, restaurant is extremely loud and service is friendly but is generally still poor and slow. Food isn’t that good for the price point. A lot of attention goes to “organic and local meat/vegetables”. Typically, meat is local no matter where you go for an actual sit down restaurant- the furthest meat gets shipped in from would be Wisconsin/Dakotas/Iowa. All organic and natural restaurants add these buzz words to dock on 10 extra dollars. I would be more impressed by this restaurant if they had a rotating seasonal menu, but since visiting in summer 2020, the menu is exactly the same- just higher prices. My partner a...

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 service before finally asking an employee walking by if we had a server.

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. My bestie has extreme gluten allergy that even if it says gluten free some of the stuff is not doable. So that being said, not a fan 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.

We picked French Meadow as we were looking for a cozy restaurant that serves delicious and healthy food, and we were happy with the choice. There is a small outdoor patio that could be busy during peak hours. Good portion and price. Lots of options for different types of dietary restrictions.
