About

The scent of fresh coffee and baked goods greets you at Highland Cafe & Bakery, a neighborhood sandwich joint in St. Paul where comfort food is the star. This mixed gay/straight spot keeps things laid-back, drawing locals for its all-day breakfast, tasty box lunches, and brownies. The menu is classic American, and yes, you can grab a craft beer even at breakfast. It's a casual cafe with a second-hand shop component, adding to its homey, unpretentious vibe.

Weekend mornings are busy, so expect a crowd of yoga moms and families with strollers. The cafe closes at 3 PM daily, so it's strictly a daytime destination. Regulars appreciate the consistent food quality and reasonable prices. If you're nearby, a short drive brings you to Barbette for French-inspired fare later in the day.

Located in St. Paul, Highland Cafe & Bakery is a local go-to for breakfast and lunch in a quiet, residential part of the city.
