About this Neighborhood

Lyndale is an easygoing Minneapolis neighborhood that punches above its size on food and character. Its 18 restaurants pair with five coffee shops averaging 4.5, and My Huong Kitchen, Our Kitchen, and Five Watt Coffee lead a Yelp scene averaging 4.7 across more than 3,700 reviews. Foursquare's read is quirky and creative — a speakeasy, arts-and-crafts store, pizzerias, a garden, coffee shops, and parks — the texture of a neighborhood with a little bohemian streak. Three grocery options, four parks, and three fitness spots keep the day-to-day grounded, making Lyndale a comfortable, character-rich pocket rather than a flashy one.
