Hard Times is a collectively run all-vegetarian cafe, many of the items are vegan.
Restaurant, Coffee/Tea/Juice
Located on the West Bank near the U of M, Hard Times is open 22 hours a day, so no time is a bad time to drop by and get something to eat. Prices are cheap and the food is pretty basic, but when it's four in the morning and you've only got a couple of bucks and you're in the mood for some loud punk rock, there's not too many other options.

I love this place. I've only been a handful of times, but I'm continually impressed. The service is friendly (if not a little off-beat) and the portions are very generous for the price. The bakery case seems to be primarily vegan, there's lots of seating and the music isn't too loud. If I lived closer, I'd be there all the time.
I think my favorite menu item is the biscuits and gravy. Just don't forget to bring cash!

While I enjoy just about any veg* restaurant, the food here isn't all that good. There are definitely a few other places around the Twin Cities where you can get a better veg* breakfast. Haven't tried lunch/dinner foods yet.
We had the vegan biscuits and gravy and they were OK. Also had the vegan helter skelter which was really bland.The scrambled tofu in it was not well prepared at all.
