Hen House Eatery sits at 114 S. 8th St. in downtown Minneapolis, dreamed up by three friends — Barb, Maribel, and Tara — who built an all-day breakfast, bar, and bakery concept drawing on farm roots, Spanish flavors, and Midwest hospitality.
The menu spans breakfast, lunch, vegan options, and a bakery case, with dishes like the California Eggs Benedict, Coop Burger, Clubhouse, and Cobb Salad, alongside a cinnamon roll that regulars specifically call out. Brunch is the draw, with hash browns, homemade jams, and carnitas and chorizo plates pulling a steady crowd, often with a wait at peak times.
The restaurant frames itself around bringing people together over food — all hearts, all appetites, one table — and functions as a communal gathering spot in the middle of downtown Minneapolis.
