The Hard times is a great place. But this descript...

The Hard times is a great place. But this description is totally wrong. There are no TVs, Wings or Burgers. It's Vegetarian. It is is not a chain. It is Cooperatively Owned by the members of the cooperative, all or most of whom (I assume) Currently work at Hard Times and are a part of its maintenance. The food IS really good, wholesome, delicious, and affordable. It's a great place to hang out and enjoy their large selection of loose leaf teas. I would also argue that they have some of the best french press coffee I've had in the city.

Perhaps the best thing about the Hard Times Cafe is that when you go there and eat their food and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, ALL of the remuneration will go to those who actually just served you with their time and effort. There is no Beneficiary taking advantage of these employees. No one is getting rich; the hard times is supporting people who actively work there and contributing to the community and culture of Minneapolis.
