For anyone seeking vibrant, health-focused fare paired with a calm atmosphere and a touch of holistic magic, this café isn’t just a meal—it’s a nourishing journey.
SO GRATEFUL for healthy food restaurants like this! Came in with our 3 children for a family dinner post church and it was SO YUMMY!!! We ordered 4 different bowls, and 2 sandwiches, a smoothie and a hot drink. It was delicious! We had leftovers, were fully satisfied, and left feeling well post eating not sluggish and gross. The water was filtered and they care about the details. Thank you Tao for doing things in a way that is best for people’s bodies and is nutritionally dense! So grateful to have found this gem of a spot! Can hardly wait to come Back!!! Keep up the great work and fantastic offerings of quality products. Yum! Thank you! Highly recommend.
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!
Love this place in every way. The atmosphere is magical and feels worlds away. The beverages are unique and delicious. I had their bowls as well and they were so tasty. There’s a shop in the back to check out also. You’ll find books, jewelry, supplements and much more. Full of friendly people.
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!
The food here tastes fresh and flavorful! I try to make my own bowls all the time but there's something that warms the soul with the bowls here. I love that they also have an herbal shop. The overall environment is very calm and peaceful.
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!!
Finally stopped in after wanting to for a long time, and I can tell you the experience was even better than expected! Half café, half wellness boutique, the environment was bright, friendly, and comfortable. The Sun and Moon potions were tasty and came in a properly large mug! It was rejuvenating to visit. Thanks Tao, can’t wait to be back again.
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.
