Modern Times Cafe
Vegan-FriendlyA Minneapolis brunch cafe back under its old name - and back to charging - after six months as the free, donation-funded Post Modern Times. The kitchen serves meat, but every dish on the menu is marked with a vegan version: curry or scrambled tofu for eggs, cashew spread for cheddar, tempeh for bacon, an Impossible patty for beef.
What to Order
Good to Know
- Prices came back in late August 2026 after six months as the free, donation-funded Post Modern Times; donations now cover a pilot program serving 25 free meals a day.
- Every dish on the food menu carries a 'v' for a vegan version, but the menu also says no substitutions and doesn't spell out the vegan build on a few (the Cabbie, the Southside Hash) - the safe orders are the ones where the vegan choice is written in.
- Vegan donuts are made fresh every weekday morning.
- Organic vegetables, local tempeh and maple syrup; coffee is from Wonderstate in Viroqua, Wisconsin, with a bottomless house cup and oat or soy milk.
