French Meadow Café & Bluestem Bar

French Meadow Café & Bluestem Bar www.frenchmeadowcafe.com In 1999 dinner service was offered, giving the café more opportunities to offer innovative and healthy fare.

Founded as a wholesale bakery in 1985, French Meadow Bakery has twice been recognized by Bon Appetite Magazine as one of the country’s ten best bread bakeries, the only natural/organic bakery to receive this form of recognition. In 1991, due to customer demand, French Meadow’s landmark uptown café opened serving organic fare with an emphasis on vegetarian and vegan options, and was open for breakf

ast and lunch only. Over the years the café began to incorporate a variety of different foods into the menu, including eggs, dairy, and meat, but made sure that they were all sourced sustainably. In fact, French Meadow has been working with many of the same local farmers and suppliers for up to 25 years, including Natural Way Mills and Schultz Organic Eggs, to name a few. Today the French Meadow Bakery & Café continues to serve breakfast, lunch & dinner daily, featuring full-service dinner with Chef Specials. We focus on using organic, natural and local ingredients and aim to offer vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and omnivore options. We have an in-house bakery that bakes all of our breads, cakes, desserts and pastries from scratch using natural and organic ingredients. In 2013 French Meadow expanded the café on Lyndale Avenue in Minneapolis to include Bluestem Bar, private dining, and an expanded outdoor patio. And we are thrilled to have recently opened the second French Meadow Bakery & Café on Grand Avenue in Saint Paul with partners Macalester College.

Tuesday nights are for useless knowledge, cocktails, and victory speeches in the parking lot afterward.

Trivia Mafia returns this Tuesday at 7PM at Nord Social Hall.

Round up your smartest friends—or at least the ones who are confident enough to argue loudly about 90s music, random geography, and celebrity breakups.

Come hungry. Come competitive. Stay for the full menu, cocktails, laughs, and the satisfaction of knowing obscure facts actually matter somewhere.

Game starts at 7PM. Arrive early to grab your table and your drink.

Some breakfasts are simply breakfast . . .

And some involve a warm croissant, a perfect cappuccino, and suddenly deciding the rest of the day can wait a minute.

Our Egg & Bacon Croissant is the kind of breakfast that turns a quick stop into a slow morning — and honestly, we fully support that energy.

Served daily until 3 PM — because great breakfast decisions should not require an early alarm.

Some desserts whisper. This one walks in like it owns the room.

Meet our Berry Cream Tart: a rich Venezuelan fair-trade single-origin chocolate + ground almond crust filled with dreamy blueberry and raspberry cream, crowned with fresh berries and zero regrets.

Gluten free. Vegan. Extra.

Honestly, if summer had a personality… this would be it.
