Known forcafebrunchlocal sourcingSeward

A Minneapolis institution since 1995, Birchwood is a beloved neighborhood cafe and restaurant committed to local and organic sourcing long before it was trendy. The coffee is solid but the real draw is the seasonal menu of breakfast and lunch dishes made with genuine care. Expect a wait on weekend mornings — it's a rite of passage for locals.
