WE ARE OPEN!

Gatherings Cafe, an Indigenous cafe in the heart of the American Indian Cultural Corridor in Minneapolis, reopened in a new expanded space after being closed for more than a year for renovations. 

The cafe strives to provide accessible, healthy, Indigenous food and knowledge to the Twin Cities Native and greater community. It serves fresh, locally grown foods that are prepared using innovation mixed with ancestral knowledge. 

Gatherings Cafe is housed within the Minneapolis American Indian Center, a community center providing critical services to the Twin Cities Native community since 1975.

Education

As a mission-driven restaurant, the Gatherings Cafe team provides educational opportunities to learn the culture and practices used by our ancestors.

The cafe hosts food demonstrations, either in person or online, to share the history of these foods and teach attendees how to forage and create recipes at home. The demonstrations are often done in partnership with other Minneapolis American Indian Center programs, such as Culture Language Arts Network and Native Fitness and Nutrition.
