Breaking Bread

Lovely, well-lit eating space where great breakfast and lunch food is served. Pleasant indoor and outdoor seating. Workers are very friendly. Favorite chicken and waffles I've found so far out of any city. Chicken biscuits are awesome. Get the sweet potato fries and thank me later. No wifi is unfortunate, but nice for some peaceful dining. Definitely worth the visits and revisits. Easily my favorite Minneapolis breakfast spot.

As an avid supporter of North Minneapolis and Black-owned businesses, I will not stop recommending this place. It is all around excellent in every way possible. I strongly recommend the savory dry rub chicken, the blackened shrimp and grits, and the veggie burger. Granted I did not have every single dish, but those three I have had, and they are just outstanding. When I ordered, I did such over the phone because I had a $75 budget I had to spend using the corporate card. Because of the affordable prices Breaking Bread had, I ordered A LOT of food. The person at the counter was exceptional at not only listening to my order over the phone, but also making sure the ones who were dining in were serviced. I left her a $20 tip in cash because of how great she was. The receipt said her name was Monica W. They were out of desserts when I was ordering, so the next time I visit, whether it is take out again or dining in, I will try their dessert as well as some of the dishes I have not had yet! Highly recommend!

Breaking Bread Cafe is both a great restaurant and a driving force for social change. They partner with Appetite for Change, a nonprofit, and strive to feed the community. I ordered the chicken and waffles (restaurant special). Absolutely incredible! Juicy and spicy fried chicken sitting on top of a fluffy and sweet Belgian waffle. Easily the best chicken and waffles I’ve ever had. I also ordered the lunch special with bbq brisket, cheesy mac, and black eyed peas. Tasty classic soul food. The staff were so friendly and passionate about what they do. I look forward to stopping in again! Great food and a great cause.
