Annie's, when it was located on 8th Avenue, was a pretty fair diner-style cafe. Maybe 3 outta 5 stars. Now it has moved to Colfax (at St. Paul). The menu is pretty much the same, and they brought along a lot of the decor (apparently leaving the really faded posters and some of the other junkola at the old place), and the food remains so-so. But the parking lot is a mess -- when food is being delivered, the truck takes up half of the customer parking -- and the staff is more disorganized than ever. To top it all off, they've reduced the size of the food portions. The food was never what you'd call gourmet, but there was always a generous portion. Now, if you order the corned-beef hash for breakfast, be aware that one poached egg will be larger than the hash. Prices at Annie's have always been a little higher than at comparable cafes, but now you'll get a lot less value for your money. Stay away -- in droves!
Pros: close to my home
Cons: small portions vs. cost, awful parking
