Breaking Bread Café

As an avid supporter of North Minneapolis and Black-owned businesses, I will not stop recommending this place. It is all around excellent in every way possible. I strongly recommend the savory dry rub chicken, the blackened shrimp and grits, and the veggie burger. Granted I did not have every single dish, but those three I have had, and they are just outstanding. When I ordered, I did such over the phone because I had a $75 budget I had to spend using the corporate card. Because of the affordable prices Breaking Bread had, I ordered A LOT of food. The person at the counter was exceptional at not only listening to my order over the phone, but also making sure the ones who were dining in were serviced. I left her a $20 tip in cash because of how great she was. The receipt said her name was Monica W. They were out of desserts when I was ordering, so the next time I visit, whether it is take out again or dining in, I will try their dessert as well as some of the dishes I have not had yet! Highly recommend!

Breaking Bread Cafe is both a great restaurant and a driving force for social change. They partner with Appetite for Change, a nonprofit, and strive to feed the community. I ordered the chicken and waffles restaurant special. Absolutely incredible! Juicy and spicy fried chicken sitting on top of a fluffy and sweet Belgian waffle. Easily the best chicken and waffles I’ve ever had. I also ordered the lunch special with bbq brisket, cheesy mac, and black eyed peas. Tasty classic soul food. The staff were so friendly and passionate about what they do. I look forward to stopping in again! Great food and a great cause.

Lovely, well-lit eating space where great breakfast and lunch food is served. Pleasant indoor and outdoor seating. Workers are very friendly. Favorite chicken and waffles I've found so far. No wifi is unfortunate, but nice for some peaceful dining. Definitely worth the visits and revisits.Food: 5/5

I've stopped in a few times for lunch. Each time the service has been excellent. Although I've ordered the same thing each time fried chicken, greens, and black-eyed peas the food has been great. I'll keep popping in to check out the rest of the menu.Food: 5/5

Shrimp & Grits is one of my go to comfort foods and they nailed it here!! I’ll be in at least twice a week, I hope they don’t get tired of seeing me!

I love this place. The food is amazing, the people are warm and fun, and the cause is wonderful. If I'm ever in Minneapolis again, I will be sure to stop in. They even use food grown by youth in neighbourhood gardens. People are coming together at this place and changing their community!

Love the cool artistic atmosphere in the room. Great food. My wife purchased the “JJ” painting for our home. The paintings are fantastic.

The mission of this place is incredible. The staff were friendly and attentive. I was there for breakfast, I ordered the biscuit egg sandwich with sausage and pepper jack cheese. The biscuit itself was delicious!! I will have to come back soon to try the biscuits with gravy.

I was impressed! The food was great, the price was very reasonable, and when I asked for a glass of water, it came out in a real glass with a lemon wedge and a strawberry on top!Recommended dishesBiscuits and Gravy, Breakfast Biscuit

Oh my...so yummy! I had the turkey bacon hash with cheese grits! Delicious!! I will definitely be back to try other options.
