A healing space as much as a restaurant -- plant-filled, herbalist-run, rooted in North Minneapolis and African diasporic tradition.
About
Heal sits in a striking red-brick former bank building at 42nd Street and Lyndale Avenue in North Minneapolis, and the space feels every bit as intentional as its name. Owner Sierra Carter, a music executive and trained herbalist, opened the cafe as a community pop-up during the 2020 uprisings before turning it into a permanent fixture in 2021. The name is an acronym: herbs, eats, all love.
