Things To Do
Yum! Cafe and Bakery
Yum is one of Katie's favorite lunch spots! They have great coffee, sandwiches, french fries - and don't forget to try the Patti Cake! Yum is also near the Chain of Lakes, including Lake of the Isles. Grab a coffee and stroll around Lake of the Isles - see if you can find the Tulip House!
Hilltop
One of our favorite breakfast/brunch spots! Be sure to try the cinnamon roll.
Hazelwood
Another one of our brunch/lunch favorites! The gouda hash browns are a must-try.
The Shops at West End
The Shops at West End have lots of great restaurants and shopping! Katie and Matt (and Leo!) love going to Punch Bowl Social for brunch. Other favorites include Rojo, Crave, and The Loop.
Cedar Lake Trail Walk
This is a favorite walking spot for Katie and Leo! Park near the Community Center, walk over the bridge, and you'll be on the trail. We recommend walking towards the city/Cedar Lake to enjoy the views!
Wolfe Park
Katie and Matt love to play pickleball at Wolfe Park!
Minneapolis Cider Co
Minneapolis Cider Co has great ciders, crepes, and pickleball courts! Katie and Matt won one of their pickleball league tournaments here - see if you can find our photo on the wall!
Billy's Sushi
We have celebrated many birthdays, anniversaries, and special events at Billy's! Be sure to check out the speakeasy, Billy's After Dark, behind the restaurant.
Hewing Hotel Rooftop
Hewing Hotel has a beautiful rooftop bar! Stop by for a fun cocktail and great view of the city!
Bar La Grassa
One of our favorite Italian spots in the city! Be sure to book a reservation early - tables book up about 3-4 weeks in advance.
North Loop
Katie and Matt love trying restaurants and bars in North Loop! Our favorites include Monte Carlo, Snack Bar, Sanjusan, Jun, Smack Shack, Nolo's, and Maison Margaux.
