The food was good enough overall, without many highlights for me to say that they were exceptional. Some of the dishes had minimal stuff in them that my friend felt the need to ask for additional sides to make them complete plates. We also tried their passionfruit and mango mimosas, and we both agreed that the mango and passionfruit flavors were not potent enough.
I ordered the huevos divorciados, which had pretty good salsa roja and salsa verde. Everything else was pretty standard, with black beans, over medium eggs, pico de gallo, and queso fresco as some of the other ingredients. Overall the flavor was there for sure, albeit not much beyond good. My friend enjoyed her French toast, which had challah bread, whipped butter, and maple syrup, which are some classic ingredients that are used for this dish. Once again, it was conventionally good with not much to highlight.
We shared an avocado toast as well, and it was okay. The poached egg was a bit overcooked, and there were too many mixed greens and not enough avocado mixture. In general, we enjoyed this place enough to recommend it to people and to return here if around the area.

Our first visit was recently- this place is wonderful! It was pretty busy for a weekday and the 2 people working the front had it totally handled! Kitchen turned out excellent and fast brunch. It is pretty small inside but beautiful and fun to sit at the bar. Thanks to our lovely server whose cat Sam loves semi trucks!

The food was just okay… overall underseasoned and a bit overpriced. We ordered a bowl, the migas, and the huevos divorciados. The migas, in particular, could use improvement in presentation; it looked unappetizing.
It was also disappointing that they don’t offer gluten-free bread, which feels like a standard option for brunch spots these days. The wait was long, and since they don’t take reservations or phone numbers, you have to stick around nearby. In winter, that would be pretty unpleasant since waiting outside would be too cold.
On the positive side, parking in the neighborhood is easy. However, the restaurant is quite loud. it was difficult to hear the people sitting across from me. We were also asked to leave after about an hour so they could turn the table, which meant we couldn’t even finish our coffee (it was a busy weekend in their defense).
Overall, this isn’t a place I’d recommend if you’re looking for a relaxed brunch experience.

We recently visited on a busy day (Juneteenth) and despite this combined with short staffing, the service was great and overall very fast.
I tried a pistachio matcha drink called The Hulk – it was in the coffee section of the menu but I think it was just flavored milk. Despite this, it was decent and refreshing.
My kids really loved the Aloha Parfait – it was so beautifully presented in a papaya! I wish it had more yogurt, since my kids love yogurt. We ended up asking for more and the staff obliged which was nice.
Cornbread Benedict was incredible. My husband also really loved his Huevos Divorciados. I loved the unique flavors and South American fusion.
The entry to get in is a bit narrow and my 2 and 3 year old were having a hard time sitting still. No high chairs were offered to us so we couldn’t contain them and one of the staff members seemed a bit flustered by them wandering. Because of this, I wouldn’t say it’s the most family friendly but maybe we caught them on an off day.

Met a friend for breakfast. Cute little restaurant tucked away in the Cathedral Hill section of St. Paul with outside eating area. It was crowed and we waited at the bar for an outside table. It was so crowded and very loud inside the restaurant as we waited. Hard to carry a conversation. Glad we ate outside along the side of the restaurant. I enjoyed a mimosa and had a breakfast #2. The food was ok and the service was great. I will try lunch next time. Worth giving it a try thumb up!

This place exceeded my expectations. I originally picked it because it had a dog friendly menu and then did not end up bringing my dog anyway. The food was spectacular and everyone in my group enjoyed the food. A comment was even made that they cannot remember the last time they had food that good. The service was also incredible. Our server was so sweet, humorous, and helpful. Super cool atmosphere inside with a nice vibe. The only thing that was not our favorite was the coffee /matcha drinks. My two friends that had the mixed drinks with spirits enjoyed their drinks though. This place is definitely worth your time and money! I cannot wait to go back and try more things off the menu.

To any customers looking at reviews, make sure to read the comment the restaurant left under my original review. To the restaurant, you have no idea what I have been going through in this awful time and how it has affected me. Maybe I just wanted a nice cup of tea that’s not bitter from steeping too long. And that was only one part of my review. Unfortunately, from your complete overreaction, I know just how pleasant the staff at this establishment is and I won’t give them my business in the future.
Original review – While the service was good and the cinnamon roll was fantastic (I think it’s made from croissant dough) that is where it ends. I got the eggs Benedict with no pepper and hash browns. The hash browns had no flavor, they weren’t worth eating. The hollandaise sauce was very spicy! You could see tons of little red flecks all throughout. I had to scrape it off so I could eat any of it. I will say that the bacon was good, and the English muffin was exceptional, but you couldn’t taste those over the other spices. And a thing that is just an annoyance, I ordered hot tea and the bag was in the hot water when it was brought to the table, so I couldn’t keep track of the steep time.

I love The High Hat! I went there last night for my 2nd time for some great local music. The food, service and vibe are great! They’re supportive of local music and attentive to the details that make a bar / restaurant work! Zion plays the bar like a fiddle
