If you are looking for the perfect femme chic experience for your next girl’s day look no further than Thirty-Six Café in Saint Paul. Opening fall of 2019 on Grand Ave, this sunny little spot filled with flowers, fluffy soufflé pancakes and everything pink is an Instagrammer’s dream. My sister and I were headed out for another brunch adventure and I could not wait to take her to this new dreamy spot. I had tried this restaurant opening week with a co-worker and right away I knew that this would be the perfect spot for a bonding adventure with my sister.If you decide to visit Thirty-Six Café make sure you are setting aside plenty of time so you can really indulge. After ordering at the counter and finding the perfect spot in a sunny little corner, sit back and enjoy the experience. Snap a few pictures by the floral wall or the perfect shot of you sipping on a frothy Rose Gold Honey Latte. Make sure you take advantage of the beautiful rainbow glow that is cast across your table courtesy of the prism windows at the top of the storefront. The famed Soufflé Pancakes tend to take about 15-30 minutes to come out and with your first bite, you realize that this treat is worth every second of your wait. The eggy, jiggly, fluffy pancakes are as pretty to look at as they are tasty.
My sister Zoë ordered the Matcha Delight which the menu describes as fluffy pancakes topped with raspberries, matcha whip, condensed milk, and powdered sugar. She paired this with the Rose Gold Honey Latte. I ordered the Hooray for Ube; fluffy pancakes topped with purple yam and taro whip, condensed milk, and powdered sugar. I also ordered the Salted Caramel Mocha and a Berry Nice smoothie bowl to share. The Berry Nice is a mixed berry blend topped with bananas, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, chia seeds, coconut clusters, granola, and whip. I had gotten this smoothie bowl before and instantly fell in love and mid-winter I crave some good produce and this smoothie bowl delivers!
The menu at Thirty-Six Café is packed full of sweet and savory treats as well as swoon-worthy beverages. I feel very lucky to have this cafe so close to work, I get the opportunity to pop over for a smoothie bowl or a latte at any time. I could spend my whole weekend there ordering treats and taking beautiful pictures. You can tell that each item that is set upon the counter is a labor of love and the friendly and enthusiastic staff takes great pride in the product they are putting out there.
I would recommend Thirty-Six Café to anyone looking for a wonderful meal and a fun experience. For more information, you can follow Thirty-Six Café on Facebook or Instagram.
