Breakfast Just Got Better
Hen House Eatery specializes in local food and drink. We use the freshest locally-sourced ingredients we can find and serve breakfast all-day. Our bar features a variety of craft beers and specialty bloody mary’s. And don’t forget our bakery to satisfy your sweet tooth.
The concept for Hen House Eatery hatched when three friends who loved serving breakfast downtown Minneapolis decided to open a place of their own. With a shared vision of creating a dining experience that was both welcoming and vibrant. A place you can enjoy a homemade meal cooked with heart and soul served with a splash of creativity.

My Favorite Breakfast:
If I had to choose, I would say my favorite has to be Carnitas Hash.
Barb’s Story
Food is about friends and family getting together to enjoy each other. While fresh ingredients are the building blocks for great food, Barb realized that it’s not just the food that makes a meal memorable, its the experience. We’ve created a fun, happy place that friends can enjoy together. We want our customers to feel like they are part of our family.
“I hope you experience Hen House Eatery as a place where you can enjoy a homemade meal cooked with heart and soul served with a splash of creativity.”
Enjoy, Barb
Maribel Cuadros Perrault
My Favorite Breakfast:
My absolute favorite are pancakes although I can’t resist my spanish toasties on sourdough with garlic, tomato and olive oil. Delicious!
Maribel’s Story
Maribel is originally from Beas de Segura—a town in the province of Jaén located in south-central Spain. The Jaén province is known for its mountains, olives and processing their liquid gold—olive oil. In fact, Jaén is known as the World Capital of Olive Oil because it is the biggest producer of the oil. Maribel’s passion for food began early growing up on her family’s olive farm. Maribel insists on making everything from scratch. The result is a diverse portfolio flavorful foods and recipes ranging from soups to sauces to desserts.
Please enjoy the flavors that have inspired me and hope the food at Hen House Eatery makes your day just a little brighter.
Cheers, Maribel
Tara Koenig
My Favorite Breakfast:
I Love Breakfast! I can eat it all day long. I always start my day with a bowl of yogurt and have different breakfast items as my day progresses.
Tara’s Story
Having served breakfast downtown Minneapolis for over 20 years, Tara has learned a thing or two about making sure the customer has a good experience. When it comes to getting to know her customers, Tara is the one that not only remembers your name—but also your favorite items on the menu. Tara grew up in Dayton, MN surrounded by the farmland the Midwest is famous for. It’s no surprise that she loves organic gardening and strives to minimize her footprint through sustainable living at home and at work.
My goal is to make our guests feel like they’re part of our family. I hope you enjoy our food so much that you’ll invite your own family and friends.
Best, Tara
