Cafes near Excelsior

“Lovely atmosphere and great food!“

“I have been going to Cafe 12:2 for over five years at this point, and the quality never disappoints! They have a wide variety of hot, cold, and blended drinks such as mochas, lattes, frappuccinos, drip coffee, etc. There are bottled soda pop and water as well, and apart from beverages they also sell yogurt, cheese and beef sticks, candies and pastries. All of the products are reasonably priced; in the five years I've been at 12:2, there has only been a 25 cent raise in price primarily because of a switch to a higher quality coffee brand. All the staff are friendly and understanding, the layout of the Cafe is warm and aesthetically pleasing, and of course all the drinks look and taste amazing!

Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly snacks such as fruit snacks, cheese sticks, and goldfish are sold. Hot chocolate can be made less hot for the little ones.

Parking: All parking is free and a short walk from the Cafe.

Wheelchair accessibility: Along with stairs, there is an elevator guests may use.

Dietary restrictions: There are several types of milk products available, including skim milk, soy milk, coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk, and half and half.“

“I've visited here a few times now since it is very convenient to my fulltime job and the Life Cafe near my home has shortened their hours so I can't get there. Very friendly and helpful employees and good selection of food and supplement products.“

“I don’t really go here often but every now and then I’ll find a gift card from 2018 in my drawer and then I can justify spending $7 for 250mg caffeine. However whenever I do go the team working is always speedy and extremely friendly. Whenever I pull out 4 gift cards with $0.30-$4 on them the cashiers always look at me like I’m crazy. I don’t know how much is on them. They’ve been in a drawer for 7 years every time I use one it’s like seeing if I won the lottery or if it’s just an empty one I forgot to throw away. Anyways…staff here is great. Coffee is expensive but everything is expensive it’s 2025. They also need to start getting whole milk. 5 stars.“

“Great place and great employees!“

“Living in central Minnesota makes it hard to find a place that isn’t commercial or generic. Sometimes you want to go somewhere for the atmosphere. Smith’s Coffee and Cafe is that perfect hidden gem that gives off those warm and quaint coastal vibes. This is exactly where I wanted to be on my day off to read my book.“

“We took my sons family to the Creekside Cafe for a Fathers Day Brunch. The food offerings were varied and were of appropriate value for the amounts paid. All offerings were well presented and we Most importantly were delicious. Our group had three children under 5 and the servers were attentive and made us feel we were at grandmas house. Lastly, the environment was very comfortable with a low noise level. Overall, this was a nice place for that weekend brunch whether you are a couple or a large family group.“

“a big thank you to the employees and patrons at the Mtka Panera today I had an incendent and they were all so helpful. I am fine, my pacemaker kept me going. I needed to get some food in me and passed out for a minute while ordering. Everyone was so helpful. Thanks 👍“
