Coffee Shop
Best coffee in the neighborhood. Delicious! If you happen to be up at 6am they often do “shots” (espresso) on the patio with whomever is there! Owned by triplets who are extremely friendly! They are a wine and cheese bar in the evenings. Cozy place to relax- indoor and outdoor seating. Delicious muffins and egg and cheese sandwiches!
Sisters' Sludge Coffee Cafe and Wine Bar
3746 23rd Ave SSightseeing
Great place for lunch or dinner. LOVE the peel and eat shrimp, fresh oysters, po boys, and watermelon gazpacho. They also have a lot of beers to choose from. I’ve cream stand there too and often love music. It’s right next to Minnehaha Falls which is beautiful and interesting. You can rent bikes there too. If you’re in Mpls in the summer it’s a must see, imo.

Swimming, biking, kayaking, good food.
Really nice place to visit! Good food there, you can rent bikes, kayaks, or canoes. Take a dip in the lake!
You can rent kayaks, bikes, or canoes- paddle it’s too I think! It’s a beautiful place to swim. Lake Nokomis is a really nice place to walk or jog around too.
