About this Neighborhood

Part of Minneapolis's Bde Maka Ska Isles community, East Isles is a small neighborhood of about 3,700 that punches well above its size on flavor. Milkjam Creamery draws the ice-cream faithful, Isles Bun & Coffee handles the morning sugar fix, and Lake & Irving keeps the sit-down crowd happy among 18 restaurants. Eight coffee shops rated 4.5 mean caffeine is never far, and nine parks put the lakes and green space at your doorstep. Breakfast spots, an Indian restaurant and a tea room give the streets a warm, unhurried variety.
