About

María Hoyos, owner and operator of Maria’s Cafe, arrived in Minneapolis in 1980 from Medellin, Colombia. In this “City of Flowers” she owned a florist shop and the kitchen was simply a hobby. Her hobby evolved into a calling. After 14 years with a popular restaurant in South Minneapolis, Maria opened Maria’s Breakfast Club on her own in 1993. Business boomed. At the end of her lease, Maria opted to move her restaurant with no success. For the past few years, Maria has performed private catering and worked at two country clubs. The opportunity to open a new restaurant in Minneapolis resulted from a tip from a former Breakfast Club customer and friend, and an invitation from the American Indian Business Development Corporation to take residence in the Ancient Traders Market. The result is a beautiful, bright and fun café in the heart of historic Minneapolis.
