What People Are Saying About Acadia Cafe

In Short
Recorded light jazz and blues fill this open, loft-style coffeehouse, where local artists display paintings and photography against exposed-brick walls. Students from the nearby arts school and young writers sit at metal tables to work out their next project while sipping lattes and munching on turkey sandwiches or breakfast burritos. At nights, local theater troups and up-and-coming musicians play to a relaxed crowd, who sample the 24 available beers on draft.

Acadia is located in the college-portion of Minneapolis. Obviously it is the students from the University of Minnesota that keeps them in business. But when I met a friend at Acadia for a lunch meeting, I was surprised to see the baby boomer crowd eating up this cafe. Not only that, but my meal came late, and the employee threw in a free root beer! PROS: live music, good food (get the root beer!) CONS: a little dirty, not much to look at

Stopping at Acadia after longer night in Minneapolis I was impressed with the fact that the servers catered to my friends knowing they would close in ten minutes. It was a very pleasent, clean, and calm atmosphere. I loved it. Try the chocolate cake! PROS: Great food and drinks CONS: prices

Acadia Cafe isn't your normal neighborhood cafe. Located on Franklin and Nicollet, this cafe offers a huge selection of tap beers and wine, as well as decent food at a moderately high price. But after you've downed a few taps that you can't find anywhere else, you'll just about pay anything for some reasonable food. Adjacent to the cafe is a theater with music, drama skits, etc every night of the week. Cover charges are usually less than $5. This cafe is the hidden treasure that everyone should discover. It's perfect for a club meeting, working brunch, or a quiet night out from the frat boys hollering to their friends on cell phones about how drunk they are.
