The Good Earth in Roseville north of St. Paul
If you are a vegetarian or if you prefer to have organic foods, one of the very best choices for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a snack just north of St. Paul off Highway 36 and Fairview Avenue across the intersection from Rosedale Shopping Center is the Good Earth restaurant (there's another one in Edina, but I have never been to that one).
I am my family and friends have been visiting the Good Earth for wholesome, tasty, and interesting meals since the 80's. It is such a popular spot, especially on Saturday or Sunday mornings, we often find we have to wait awhile, but there is a comfortable seating area at the front where we read the paper and taste the cookies and buy packages of the original Good Earth tea, a spectacular spicy flavored tea that comes with or without caffeine. The servers are always more than welcoming. The portions are huge. And, you can sit outside on the patio when the weather is nice!
Go see them at www.goodearthmn.com if you want to learn more, and go eat there soon next time you are up at Rosedale shopping or going to a movie.
