Tao Organic Cafe + Herbery

"Absolutely love this place - Delicious Food, Great Vegan Options, Employees are very kind and chill, Love that it also has a little herb/supplement and crystal type shop attatched to it. Definitely a new favourite spot, I will be coming here for the rest of my time living in the Twin Cities!"

"This place is fantastic and feels like you’re hanging out at a Spa. The ambiance, staff, and herbal store all feel peaceful and restorative. The food is clearly healthy (the desserts of course have some sugar) and you feel good after eating. We had avocado toast and the curry bowl which went down so quick and easy I forgot to take pictures. The coffee (Americanos) was perfect, the service was welcoming, friendly, and helpful, and there was a sense of community there which felt genuine. We can’t wait to go back especially for Thursday Date Night which is (as of 2024) 2 entrees, 2 glasses of Wine, and a dessert for $45. Spectacular deal for healthy food!!"

"Been going here for 30 years. Love the whole vibe of the place. Food is simple, tasty, and healthy. Upstairs they have bulk herbs for sale. I have also taken a couple of classes here. Love this place. In photos: Tao Bowl with tofu and the Earth Potion tea"

"Stopped into Tao having neglected to take the few minutes to check it out on my previous excursions to the twin cities. Wow am I impressed. They offer a healthy variety of organic, locally sourced eats and even offer elixirs + health tonics as-well as coffee drinks & teas. I was greeted by a wonderful staff member who was very kind and helpful when asked about the menu / cafe. While waiting for your food, you are able to go explore the shop in the back which is full of herbal supplements, locally crafted goods, & a bunch more stuff that fit the holistic health vibe. Food itself was great and tasted very fresh. Super nutritious and I love that they go the extra mile to source quality, organic ingredients. Would highly recommend checking this place out!"

"Being someone who lives south, this was a delightful find. Few cafes offer cooked wholistic food with such great taste. The staff was pleasing and helpful in explaining the ingredients and menu options, so I could eat everything to my tastes. My food was quickly delivered to my table. Utensils and a cool water dispenser are available for self-service. My broccoli curry bowl was delightful. The sauce makes it! However, the seared tofu and cilantro are perfect accompanying flavors. They use a lot of natural herbs and have a robust selection of vegetarian menu options Interior tables line two street-side walls of windows, making it a most delightful ambiance. They offer many healthy beverages, some in the front cooler, ready to go on hot summer days. Others are hand-made when ordered and are served hot. I had the Earth Potion and was delighted with the taste. It is crafted from house-made cashew date milk, which is why it is so fresh and delightful, along with hits of vanilla and maple flavorings. They have a new “Centered” drink made with cacao and cinnamon. I’ll definitely try that some fall or winter day. You can also order elixirs, tonics, and shots to sip on out on the patio and enjoy conversations with friends and family. I parked on a nearby street and had no problem. It’s an easy walking distance to other local shops. But, first, I recommend checking out the shop that is attached which offers many awesome gifts. Overall, I really like how health-conscious the business is. I highly recommend this holistic cafe if you're in Minneapolis and looking for quality, simple dining."
