Wilde Roast Café
Last week we were driving around looking for Brasa in NE Minneapolis. Right before spotting that old standby, we spied the Wilde Roast Café. Admittedly, I’ve always been curious about the place, so we stopped in for lunch.

While being a restaurant, this place has more of a coffee shop feel to it based on how it’s laid out. This looks like a pretty cool place, right? Agreed, it is a cool place to hang out and drink coffee, tea, or wine. The food on the other hand…
I ordered this Thai chicken wrap. It looks appetizing enough, and the salad on the side appears to be user friendly. Take a bite and go on a journey to the Utah Salt Flats. This wrap was so salty it was rendered inedible. I didn’t think it possible, but this was even saltier than Mac’s Industrial or Victory 44. Perhaps the salad would compensate? Nope. They salted that too. I sent it back, wasn’t in the mood to eat dangerous food that day.

The barista apologized profusely about the bad wrap. Then he said that the wraps at Wilde Roast weren’t very good. Really? Who would have known? I don’t know, maybe if there’s something you do a shitty job making at your restaurant, perhaps you should take it off the menu? I still needed something to eat, and he suggested the chicken sandwich.

12 minutes later and out comes my chicken sandwich. The sandwich wasn’t bad. It was a bit pricy and somewhat pedestrian, but not bad. I felt better about my experience because they didn’t charge me for the sandwich after the wrap fiasco. While I was pleased with the level of customer service I got, the dining experience was a real drag. Still, I would come back for coffee or tea.
