Al's Breakfast

About

Tucked away in Minneapolis’s Dinkytown neighborhood at 413 14th Ave SE, Al’s Breakfast has earned its reputation as a local institution. This narrow, 14-seat counter-service diner offers a quintessentially American breakfast experience that draws both curious visitors and regulars alike. With a 4.6/5 rating across over 1,400 reviews, the restaurant is known for its cozy, down-to-earth atmosphere where the staff often engages in lively banter and works efficiently to accommodate guests in the intimate space. The menu features a variety of breakfast staples, including buttermilk pancakes, hash browns, and signature scrambles like the "Jose." Because the space is limited, diners should be prepared for the possibility of a line, though many patrons find the unique, no-nonsense vibe and friendly service well worth the wait. It is important for visitors to note that the establishment operates on a cash-only basis. Whether you are stopping in for a quick cup of coffee or a hearty plate of eggs and toast, Al’s provides a raw, authentic dining experience that remains a staple of the local community.
