The Best Restaurants Along Selby Avenue in St. Paul’s Cathedral Hill | Eater Twin Cities

"At Nina’s (pronounced “Ny-na,” never “Nee-na”), exposed brick, wrought-iron stair banisters, and floor-to-ceiling windows make even the dreariest winter day feel romantic. Between the selection of pastries and breakfast sandwiches, the plentiful booth seating, and espresso drinks named after literary figures, many with some local fame — in the summer, the F. Scott Fitzgerald, with cold brew, is a popular order — you’ll see many a logoed sweatshirt from the colleges and universities that surround Cathedral Hill. Locals are represented here, too; neighbors are always running into each other in line for coffee and a doughnut (sourced from another Twin Cities stalwart, Bogart’s) on busy Saturday mornings." - Julie Yu
