“Judging from the animated, casually dressed crowds of all ages that have packed the place since it opened in early June, the neighborhood has enthusiastically embraced first-time restaurateur Kevin Sheehy’s gathering spot concept comprising a small bar, a shoehorned configuration of comfortable tables and banquettes, and a corner set aside for nightly live performances or DJ music.”
- Peter Lilienthal, Msp St. Paul Magazine
“Cafe Maude is hotter than an oven on fire in the center of the sun, so good luck getting in there.”
- Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl, City Pages
“Much of the appeal lies in Cafe Maudes’ accessible, eat-drink-and-encourage-merriment menu…That bar is a major selling point, its constantly-in-motion mixologists shaking up a long list of inventive, looky cocktails, including an admirable number of booze-free options. There’s an ambitious live jazz roster. Prices are right on the money, too.”
“Cafe Maude is just the kind of restaurant a lot of neighborhoods need: prices low enough that the folks within walking distance can afford to be regulars, and food interesting enough to draw diners from a wider area”
“Snuggled between some guy’s house and an Ace Hardware, this new bistro-with-drinks is bringing some juice to the neighborhood. Since it opened in early June, the place is packed every night with people eager to take in the fresh smells, clinking wine glasses
and live music.
