Modern Times Cafe is a vegetarian cafe at 3200 Chicago Ave S in Minneapolis's Powderhorn neighborhood, known for its organic, locally sourced menu and counter-cultural spirit. In January 2026, owner Dylan Alverson rebranded the cafe as 'Post Modern Times' and shifted to a pay-what-you-can model in response to local immigration enforcement actions. The experiment served over 30,000 meals in six months, but the cafe temporarily closed in late July 2026 to rest and reassess the model after neighborhood concerns and financial strain. Reopening timeline is not confirmed. When open, the menu serves veggie bowls, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and pancakes made with organic, local ingredients; most items can be made vegan. **Check before visiting -- call ahead or check their social media for current status.** Q: Is Modern Times Cafe vegan?
