Zumbro Cafe - 2803 W 43rd St, Minneapolis, MN

BrianMcM - The oatmeal here was the "Best of Tour" to date (Jan 6, 2008). It was comprised of a granola combination of grains that gave it a very nice texture. Included with the oatmeal was a delicious fruit combination of kiwi, banana, cranberries and strawberries. The blend of colors and shapes on the taupe granola canvass made the visual presentation first rate and difficult to surpass. Whole milk and brown sugar completed the palette. The cafe is in the very nice "City Lakes" neighorhood of Linden Hills, which adds to the pleasant experience. The streetfront cafe is rustic with a nice jazz music in the background. We had a corner window seat, which added to the experience. The day we visited was a warm day for January with temperature of about 38F and sun breaking through the morning fog. There was a 15m wait when we arrived at around 11am on a Sunday morning. We enjoyed a cup of coffee at the Dunn Bros. across the street while we waited. Oatmeal = 5, Ambience = 3.5, Service = 4
