Wilde Roast Cafe opening New Restaurant

Mattie's on Main 

The riverfront will be getting a new addition in spring 2014 as Wilde Roast Cafe opens "Mattie's on Main." Mattie's on Main will be right next Wilde Roast, in the former  Kikugawa restaurant Space.

Oh yeah! Wilde Roast Cafe turned the addictive Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies into their new gelato flavor.

And yes, it is as good as it looks!

"Wilde" new Specials at Wilde Roast Cafe

Wilde Roast Cafe will be heating up this winter with their new Monday & Wednesday specials.

First up,

Monday is Burger Night: You can grab a chicken, beef, veggie or turkey burger for $5.  A high quality burger for cheaper than a fast food combo meal.  This special starts at 6:30pm and runs till close. 

Wednesday is Dollar Draft Beer Wednesdays:  Purchase an entree and you can get a Tap beer for just a buck.  This offer starts at 6:30pm and runs till close.

As always, check with the cafe to learn the details of the specials.

We're trying to imagine a sassy quote that Oscar Wilde might say about these new specials...

"I can resist anything except $5 Burgers.."
or
"An entree that begins with a $1 tap beer is sure to develop into a real friendship."

But our brain is distracted (that burger looks awesome.)   Our new plan, swing into Wide Roast Cafe on a Monday, have a $5 Burger, and let Wide inspire us...

Minneapolis landed at #10

Minneapolis landed at #10 for the cities that spend the most on coffee.  (so.....yay???)

Cuppa Java on the cover of SCENE

"Over half of American adults drink coffee on a regular basis, but the amount they spend on it has a lot to do with which city they live in, according to business and personal finance site bundle.com. The site found which cities spend the most on coffee based on trends at 16 well-known coffee chains like Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks and Sumptown." - Harry Bradford, Huffpo

I guess other towns would drink more coffee if they had wonderful places like Wilde Roast Cafe and Cuppa Java to drink at

Meet St. Paul's Hottest Firefighters at Wilde Roast Cafe

Don't worry, We were going to set St. Paul Ablaze (in the hope of getting to meet Mike & the rest of the St Paul firefighters from the Calendar) but not anymore.

Wilde Roast Cafe is hosting a Calendar signing (Back in the Parlor Room).  Didn't grab one yet, no worries.  They will also have some on hand to sell.  They are $15 and proceeds go to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Wilde Roast Cafe's new location

Some people have had concerns about Wilde Roast Cafe's new location.  After we had a wonderful walking tour of the construction site, we're confidant the critics will be transformed into cheerleaders.  The new space is large (3x larger) and has a great open feel.  The view from the patio looks over the downtown skyline. (Not true of WRC's new neighbors, they get to stare at the electrical plant).  The park in front of the patio adds a level of charm (not that the crazy- Hennepin-Central-triangle-thing wasn't charming, but this is definitely better).
