The Beanery Cafe and Roastery

awesome, cozy inviting. Plus Gluten Free pastry! GF toast for sandwiches. 5+ Stars!!!

Very nice interior, and I enjoyed my latte.

I get better coffee at the gas station. I went in to ger a real coffee and I ended up with some type of milk thing with mocha syrup that didn't even taste like a coffe or a mocha.

Thankful to have this coffee shop in Aitkin!! The fresh brewed coffee today was excellent. It was service with a smile!!

Had I not wasted my last $25 between coffee n a $9or$10 tip, I would of gone to Brainard (going the other direction? wait till McGregor roasting house, by far worth it) coffee is super sweet, this opinion comes from someone who likes 6shots of expresso in my drink. I don't do sweet I prefer bitter sweet, n I'm picky but I will right a coffee on my dime by purchasing more expresso n mixing myself because it's in no way the person making my coffees fault, strength comes from the coffee maker n beans. So when I get the attitude that I'm a bother because I come back in to BUY 3more expresso drinks cos I'm a picky uncaffinated tired soul who's taking what little positive I got to smile n b nice, I get a little upset... k maybe a bit more than a little. Full disclosure, I did toss the whole cup of too sweet $10 coffee outside the shop after biting my tongue apologizing 4being a bother n walking out in tears, I did however drive back by 2make sure the cup wasn't still there cos I don't believe in littering. When I told him it was too sweet n not bitter enough n I wanted to buy 3more expresso shots, the demeanor changed from when I first ordered, like I was insulting him... dude, not ur fault I'm terrified of a dentist n have such bad teeth I can't handle that level of sweet. Attitude n rudely handing back my change threw my little uncaffinated brain thru a loop. I would of loved to throw the attitude right back, maybe then I wouldn't of still been upset over an hr later but it's not me 2do so. And it's not the attitude that has me upset, irritated or disappointed, yes, but I still don't have coffee (had 2leave the house without coffee cos we're out of filters n stores arent open that early) n now no money 2get coffee and THAT is why I'm upset, cos I'm still uncaffinated. We all have bad days/moments but Yes I take my coffee intake seriously.

Rude workers. Said bathroom was closed because the floor was just mopped but it was dry. I asked to go because it was dry and continued to tell me it was closed off. Also the food looked very sloppy, probably done on purpose because I questioned about using the bathroom. Not worth the $ or tip I gave.

0 stars for customer service, very rude girl, she acted as if I was inconveniencing her by coming in. No greeting at all just blank stares, and very short rude answer when I had questions about the beverages before placing my order. I have been excited to try this place but was extremely disappointed this morning and will not be back.

Shame on the owners and management for leaving 3 teenagers to run an entire coffee shop the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, not to mention the only coffee shop in the area. These poor kids were so flustered with the amount of people in the shop and clearly did not have the training or organizational skills to successfully manage the operation. It's not these children's fault that they were never trained on how to greet customers properly, how to even make coffee, or even handle food safely. There were multiple half-full cartons of dairy milk sitting out all over the counters - which is incredibly unsafe for patrons, which made me immediately not order any dairy products in the coffee. After waiting 20 minutes for coffee the poor barista warned me that the oat milk in my coffee was warm on the iced latte. ...what??? These kids haven't even been trained that you cannot pour the left over steamed milk from a previous drink onto an iced beverage. At that point I felt bad for the kids and said it's fine and left. Management - do better.

We live in the area and have been here several times. I've reserved doing a review. The coffee is good, every drink we have had we've enjoyed. That said, it always seems like something goes wrong. The communication is horrible. They dont greet you or talk to you in any way. (Yesterday, we stood at the counter for a good 5 min, while they were sweeping, no ill be with you in a sec, or hi there give me a minute..., and then when she came to the counter, there was no greeting, seriously we were stared at until we started speaking) It always feels like you're bothering them. The staff is disorganized and always seems flustered. It can be busy in there, so I can understand somewhat the chaos. We had 5 people after us given their drinks, while we waited for 1 drink. A little, hey, it's taking longer to make this one would have helped. Maybe it's the age of the staff or maybe it's lacking skills or training, but it overshadows the good coffee.

Service was very rude, food was cold, burritos weren’t wrapped, I’ve had breakfast burritos way better then this, and they tried to give us the wrong order

Today I brought my daughter for a special coffee, she’s 10! I’ve been here several times and service has always been GREAT. But we came in about 11:45am and it was busy. So we left after 5 min of standing at the counter and no recognition. When we came back it was less busy and we still stood at the counter with not even an hi. I made eye contact with the lady running in and out of the kitchen AND STILL NO HELLO OR ANYTHING! We love this place and it made me very sad that these kids had no clue what was going on. Handing out coffees and not knowing what they even made. So honestly I know this place has great coffee but COME ON! Please try to tech them some people skills.
