The best restaurants and bars near Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis | Eater Twin Cities

"One of the most consistently busy places in the neighborhood is the Nokomis Beach Cafe. You’ll know you’re there by the jolly canoe-planter marking its place on the corner of 50th and 28th. One word to sum up why NBC is on the list? Waffles. Two more words? All. Day. Plus there are mile-high sandwiches made to order in front of your drooling face with bread baked same-day from A Baker’s Wife just down the street. Friendly baristas top it all off with a specialty ‘Noko’ coconut-inspired mocha or cold press brewed to perfection. With huge picture windows and only one block between you and Lake Nokomis, it’s no surprise Nokomis Beach Coffee is a favorite of the neighborhood locals." - Eater Staff
