14 Best Cafes near Cottage Grove

“1.) Very friendly staff and good food & drinks.2.) DRIVE THRUS:. Why can’t Caribou workers except credit cards handed to them (like in their stores) instead of using the ANNOYING credit card machine on a long pole? Other fast food restaurants don’t use them. I mention this to the Caribou cashiers and they said other customers also don’t like using them.“

“Super nice, fun, and safe place to bring the littles☺️“

“Wonderful spot close to Mississippi Market in St. Paul. There is a beautiful small park (when weather permits) to sit outside. The building itself is old and very Swedish even though the history of Swede Hollow is long-past, lots of "hygge" inside (yes I know it's Danish but they did own the country, kinda). A few tables downstairs, one cozy one on the mezzanine, 6-7 upstairs and a neat "conference room" with a very comfy cozy reading armchair. Coffee really good (Americano, Cubano), great selection, had a studenty-feel, but we are close to MSU. The food looked very good. One of my new favourite "Third Places"“

“lost fox is my go-to for coffee on overnights, great breakfast, excellent servers. 10/10“

“Key's doesn't just have incredible food but they make fantastic cakes. Their chocolate house cake it to die for. They did an incredible job matching the invitation and theme for my sister-in-law's baby shower cake! The spinach salad with warm bacon dressing it one of my favorites.“

“Love inside comfy tables and booths- great waitresses Old time Like a diner Restrooms need a lot of work“

“Huge shoutout to Jerry at Caribou (4682 S Robert Trail in Inver Grove Heights, MN)! Their speaker isn’t working, so he is going the extra mile by standing out in the rain taking orders! AND…they recently started using a new system and he is doing great learning how to use it! We love you, Jerry! #staremployee“

“Not sure who worked today 11/14 at around 2pm. But those girls deserve a raise!

We had to wait due to the oven being off, and they were so courteous to us. Constantly checking in and apologizing for any inconvenience. They were very polite and made sure my bf and I got our stuff. Very thankful <3“

“Wonderful experience here! The shop is super cute, and you can tell they really love their clientele. Chelsea was the sweetest! I was really impressed with her knowledge about the wide variety of options in both shakes and teas, along with the unique health benefits of each! On top of that they make protein shakes taste amazing. Which coming from someone who rarely has protein powder- I loved it.“

“very spacious and quick service“

“Always a fabulous meal - thank you!!“

“just make sure your soup is hot and not like it just came out of the can. :(“

“We stumbled upon this cafe on our way home to Wisconsin & so glad we stopped in! Staff was incredibly friendly and the drinks and food were SO good! Highly recommend the Nutella latte and the caprese panini with chicken 😋“

“Panera is normally a quiet place for meeting a friend or eating by yourself. Meals are a bit expensive but tasty, great pastries, most Paneras have a fireplace which is very relaxing if you want to read a book or work on your laptop.
