Gift Tips

  • Bring a gift card for a friend who loves pastries — the almond croissant and rotating daily pastries are popular choices to share.
  • Plan a brunch gift outing and try the egg sandwich or the vegetarian sausage breakfast sandwich for a hearty, satisfying meal.
  • For a savory option, sample one of the quiches or the bacon and Swiss quiche if available; they pair well with the cafe’s coffee.
  • If gifting a coffee lover, include a cold brew or a flavored latte recommendation — the cafe is known for solid espresso and espresso-based drinks.
  • Time your visit around the cafe’s daily specials posted on Instagram to catch unique items like seasonal pies, bars, or special sandwiches.

May Day Cafe is a worker-owned coffee shop and bakery located in the Powderhorn neighborhood of south Minneapolis (zip 55407). It serves organic fair-trade coffee alongside a rotating selection of house-made baked goods and hot menu items.

  • Ambiance: Casual, community-oriented, and welcoming with local art and a kitschy, neighborhood feel in Powderhorn.
  • Cuisine: Organic fair-trade coffee and espresso with a full in-house bakery plus rotating sandwiches, quiches, soups, salads and vegetarian/vegan choices.
  • Highlights: Worker-owned cooperative, daily-changing menu of freshly baked goods, and a warm, inclusive atmosphere popular with locals.

The cafe’s menu changes frequently, so guests can expect different pastries and specials on each visit. Many items are made from scratch on-site, and the selection often includes vegetarian and vegan choices alongside more traditional bakery fare.

Seating is limited and the space can feel busy during peak hours, which contributes to its lively neighborhood energy. May Day’s focus on community, inclusivity, and consistent quality makes it a dependable choice for coffee, breakfast, or a casual lunch stop.
