50 Best Cafes near Crystal

“We ordered pork belly, sticky rice, glazed wings, hmong sausage, Khao poob, and papaya salad. it was soo much food and very reasonably priced. Most importantly it was DELICIOUS 😋!! The pork belly was so crispy and juicy- honestly the best I've had. The papaya salad was freshly made and so refreshing and spicy - like I watched her make it while we were waiting. That glaze on the wings was just *chefs kiss* Everything we ordered was sooo good! And the customer service was on point too 👌 We will definitely be back to try more.“

“It has been a while since coming here under the new Ownership. I am glad I chose to reinvestgate. I ordered the Sothern fried steak, which came with hash browns and toast with coffee and water. The steak and gravy was one of the best I have ever had. The hash browns were good yet could have been browned a little more. The coffee was rich and did the job. Our Server was prompt and tentative. Great attitude. The price was an expected value, especially with the Senior discount. I am already planning a return trip to try some of their South American cuisine. I recommend giving this quiet place a try.“

“Stopped in for a late lunch on the patio. Was interested in a bitters & soda and the server recommended mixing the rhubarb and cardamom, which was delicious and refreshing. Followed that with the Chix Correa sandwich and a side salad. Wow! Really creative flavors and well-executed. Could tell everything was made from scratch and with high quality ingredients and care. Also the decor was fun and hip, the music top-notch, and the staff kind. I look forward to coming back soon!“

“The bread is on fire, wakes up your bite excitement each time you get in to your food!! Meat is portioned real good, mad props for your turkey pastrami sandwich!!🤩“

“Ate dinner here on recommendation of a friend. Great food, served fresh, hot and fast. Had the spaghetti and garlic toast special. Was delicious. Huge serving also. Hubby had the grilled ham and cheese and subbed onion rings for the chips. Another winner. Had strawberry rhubarb pie for dessert- was really good and hit the spot. Laura was our waitress, attentive and friendly. Will be back!“

“Very cool place. Great food and staff. Beautiful artwork.“

“Food was all fresh, prepared on site, top quality indigenous food ingredients. Friendly staff (KBIC), assortment of sodas. I’d recommend the maple seltzer, and tangerine lion mane Headwater. The bison soup had a nice spice and kick with greens and vegetables. The pear, strawberry manoomin salad was excellent (seeds and red onion are nice touch). Red Lake Walleye fish tacos were a heck of way to finish off my Anishinaabe food experience of memories from tribal gatherings with our foods. Background music was a throwback and nice touch. Nishin!

“Great friendly staff and good coffee and sandwiches! This is my favorite coffee place to meet my friends.“

“10/10 ⭐️ Coffee and food is fabulous. The cafe has beautiful art inside of it, and the customer service was phenomenal!“

“Welcoming & a Vibe. This is a real gem, a diamond in the rough. There is no place quite like Cafetto. It is punk, it is cozy, it is filled with music but it’s peaceful at the same time. The staff are always friendly, knowledgeable, and apt at making the perfect cup of joe or chai of choice. If you need a place to vibe, work, or have some fun (especially with the plethora of pinball machines in the basement), this is the place to be. I just wish there was a location in St. Cloud, but to me this place alone is worth the drive!“

“Such a great local community hub for events and resources!“

“I look forward to visiting Cafe Marguerite every time I come to Minneapolis! 💜“

“I love there frybread they need to come set yup at super stop“

“Never had their food it's one star because the coffee was extremely acidic and frankly gross :( but I love everything else about this place and have been here for many events. The staff is fantastic and I'm hoping the coffee was just a one time experience, I will try it again someday!“

“Popped in after The Foo Fighters show last night. Staff was phenomenal handling that higher-than-normal Sunday night volume. Was a great place to sit for a bit and have many beers and some great conversation with strangers, as well as with the very nice and efficient bar staff. Thanks for having me.“

“They have delicious drinks there. I'd totally recommend for anyone to stop by and grab a few drinks and snacks there. Owners are the sweetest!!“

“This is a great place. The owners are cool and fun to talk to. The baked goods are very high quality and affordable. A lot of other bakeries have stuff that tastes like bland butter mixed with sugar but this place has very good flavor. Not too sweet, high quality ingredients. They also sell food such as sambusas, ful and tibbs which are fresh and tasty! The coffee is good too“

“Great service and the food is a foodie’s delight!“

“Wonderful environment, delightful atmosphere, Delicious food and extremely friendly employees is what greeted me. Definitely will return.“

“Very good food, great atmosphere. It may be Hard Times, but it feels like home.“

“The service is always great, food is delicious and fast!“

“The co-seating with brasa is fine, but it can feel a little awkward if brasa starts to get busy with diners and you are wanting to nurse a coffee.
The egg sandwich was $11 and the frittatta was $10, neither came with sides. This is a case of quality over quantity. They were both very delicious- absolutely had happy taste buds.
They also mention on their site their prices reflect the fact that they pay their employees such that tips are not expected.“

“Delightful restaurant with exceptional staff. The Food is absolutely delicious!“

“It’s good for what it is. Order at the counter, food brought to table. I ordered a burger and gluten free bun, which was good (a really nice sauce was on it that amped up the flavor). Fries were average. Also purchase a Sanpellegrino soda, total was about $19

Dietary restrictions: Fries in the same cooker with wheat. Not celiac friendly“

“Happen to come across this adorable little coffee house by chance. I had the iced chai and it was amazing. The service was top-notch. Our barista was so friendly and personable. And then to the top it off, we met the owner, Dale and he was so welcoming and interesting to talk to! He told us all about the history of his place. It is so unique and charming. Definitely will be coming back to this little gem!“

“This is probably the highest quality organic food you can find in Minnesota. The only problem I had was they didn’t serve the food at the same time. They just gave it to me one at a time when I ordered three different things other than that the quality makes up for that I will definitely go again“

“very spacious and quick service“

“Really liked this coffeeshop. The staff are super friendly and the place is clean. I got the almond milk vanilla latte and the blackberry ricotta streusel pain suisse. They were SO delicious! ?
I had a question about the ingredients and one of the baristas went above and beyond to get a hold of the baker to make sure my question is answered.“

“Restaurant is amazing! Steady Eddie every time. Creative, well crafted, beautifully curated pre fixe tastings. Highly recommend!“
