Uptown & Powderhorn

Lake Street, stretching from Lake Calhoun all the way to St. Paul, is an eclectic showcase of the broad range of communities that call South Minneapolis home. Hennepin Avenue and Lyndale Avenue form the heart of Uptown, bustling on evenings and weekends with young people enjoying the neighborhood for its chic restaurants, trendy retail stores, nightlife, and entertainment. Powderhorn is a laid-back and vibrantly creative neighborhood known for its community-oriented and diverse residents, boasts the city’s largest concentration of Latin@ and Northeast African restaurants and businesses, and has family-run markets, pubs, barbershops, and community centers sprinkled amid the brightly-painted houses of its residential streets.

Modern Times embodies the spirit of Powderhorn in restaurant form, drawing in groups of easygoing customers happy to wait in line for organic weekend brunch at the hand painted tables in this colorful, art filled, eclectic café. Menu offerings range from healthy-and-fresh to hangover-cure-with-a-generous-side-of-fries, and both breakfast and lunch menus have ample options for all diets, from vegan and gluten-free to carnivore. Load up on piles of garlic kale, avocado, veggie chorizo and vegan roasted poblano sour cream at the patio seating out front -- just don't forget your denim vest, this café is a favorite haunt of Southside punks recovering from last night's basement show.
