I can't even begin to tell you how cool it is to be sitting outside on the patio having breakfast at The French Meadow Bakery and Cafe in Minneapolis. Unlike a few of my favorite spots that have declined or disappeared since moving to Nashville several years ago, The French Meadow has only gotten better. Their modo is farm to table. They use fair trade, organic and sustainable foods. The Organic Peace coffee is killer and my classic breakfast of over easy eggs, hash browns, honey cured bacon and sourdough toast with homemade strawberry jam was spot on. When you're trying to live a healthier lifestyle of trying to exercise and eat clean, more whole foods and less processed crap, it can be a real challenge when your on the road and getting back to The French Meadow is great. Groovy tunes playing on house system and plenty of small tables and corners both inside and out to find a place to hang and sip and write, read and people watch.
