The Lynhall No. 3945 Edina

Lynnhall, nestled in the vibrant 50th and France area, offers a delightful dining experience both indoors and outdoors. With a plethora of vegetarian options that tantalize the taste buds, it's a haven for herbivores. The amiable servers enhance the welcoming atmosphere, making every visit memorable. The bakery section is a highlight, boasting irresistible treats like the heavenly Danish and the addictive Matcha latte. Their Halloumi Sandwich, infused with a subtle hint of maple and apple, is a flavor explosion, while the Shakshouka impresses with its robust taste, though an extra egg would elevate the dish. However, one downside is the credit card surcharge, which feels out of place in today's era of digital transactions. Passing on this cost to customers, alongside a health and well-being surcharge for staff, adds an unwelcome extra burden, significantly increasing the overall expense. While the culinary offerings and ambiance beckon for return visits, the additional charges may deter some patrons. It's a shame that such a charming establishment detracts from its allure with these financial impositions. Nonetheless, Lynnhall remains a tempting destination for those seeking delectable vegetarian fare and a warm atmosphere, despite the financial considerations. Vegetarian options: About 4-5 vegetarian meals that actually tastes really good. Also, thankfully they dont have beyond meat but chickpeas base Parking: Depending on the time of day, usually available

Shakshouka was served warm and soupy with no depth of flaviour. The chickpea fries tasted like nothing at all and the impossible breakfast patties were just average. The gremolata potatoes saved the day. A very unremarkable experience.

This is the worst afternoon tea Ive ever had. I dont understand how a place that serves afternoon tea cant even get the absolute basics of brewing tea right. To start, all of the teas are stored in glass jars on a little cart. While very cute, the glass jars cause the tea to degrade quickly which causes it to be rather flavorless. When it was time to order, each person got a personal teapot and its $5 if you want to switch teas. This is the first time Ive ever heard of this as every other place Ive been to allows unlimited tea including unlimited switching, but fine, just a bit annoying. However, they throw the tea leaves straight into the pot and give you an empress strainer for your cup. Teas have different steep times after which they become bitter and astringent (unless youre drinking an herbal) so after your first or second cup, depending on how quickly you drink, your tea is no longer palatable so youve just wasted the rest of the pot. Oh, and that $5 I mentioned, thats not just for if you switch teas, thats also for if you get a fresh pot because otherwise they just refill your current pot with hot water so not only has your tea been WAY oversteeped to begin with, but then they just want to throw even more hot water on it to where its even more astringent and the flavor diluted. I dont understand how this is considered drinkable for anyone and I certainly dont think its reasonable to expect to essentially pay $5 for every cup of tea which you would have to do to have every cup be drinkable. To top it off, theres a 5% health and wellness fee which is not disclosed beforehand (which legally must be disclosed beforehand) and an extra fee for using a credit card (which is also not disclosed beforehand even though it is legally required to be). As for the rest, the food was mediocre with the scones and croissant being dry and service was inattentive The real cherry on top was that we were charged an extra $10pp for the Valentines Day tea the weekend after Valentines Day despite the the website implying that Valentines Day pricing was on actual Valentines Day only and the weekend afternoon tea would be priced as normal. In terms of pros, the atmosphere is cute and we received a complimentary glass of champagne each. I will not be back.
