“I forgot my card was issued a temporary one fast friendly service😊“

“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!“

“Amazing food in a comfortable setting with great service.“

“The cafe/tea room is a gem. We had a wonderful bridal shower here for 18 guests. Inna was the contact person and was very helpful in organizing. We purchased an assortment of 5 different pastries and the Honey cake. Everything tasted wonderful and professionally displayed to be served individually. The menu has a lot of variety and reasonably priced. I appreciated the taste and freshness of the salad I had. There were many positive comment about the food (pirogies, salads, soups and crepes). They had special touches with tea cups and pots, cloth napkins, fresh table flowers and the decor. The staff was very attentive, as they were also serving regular customer. The atmosphere was relaxed. We had a successful celebration.“

“Jimmy the Server made our entire experience! We would come back to just visit Jimmy. Engaging, very polite, & accommodating to all our extra requests. FYI, highly recommend the hash browns & cranberry mimosa!! #teamjimmy“

“What a delightful find this was. It's been years since I visited Anoka and yesterday was my day. First shopping and then lunch at Truffles and Tortes. Great ambiance: the Hot Country Ham Sandwich was delicious and just the right size portion; and the Mocha Rumba, the perfect dessert to end with.“

“SO GOOD!!! the first time i ordered, i was HOOKED. the soup and sandwiches are DELICIOUS. and i cant seem to skip the banana pudding EVER. Im officially addicted to Sammy's.“

“Really good menu, lovely staff. An excellent place to enjoy coffee and a book there is a fire pit as well“

“It was okay…. Kinda disappointed with the lack of friendliness from staff. I came in just to get a coffee with my 2 year old. We didn’t attempt to see the cats or anything- I knew she was too little. Just looked in the windows while we waited. One employee completely ignored us. The one behind the counter did the bare minimum…. My coffee took a LONG time and we were the only ones in the store. We left right away. Again I did NOT let my toddler run rampant. She was very well behaved. Coffee wasn’t very hot. I’d still recommend if you were going for the cats. But unfortunately not for much else“

“The meals are Chef Hand Crafted delights. Unique, Distinctive, Beautiful in Execution. Do Yourself a Favor and Enjoy the Alternative.“

“excellent brownies, with frosting and sprinkles. highly recommend. a pan was gifted to me and I'd buy them again!“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Great people. Hilltop is a gem of a little restaurant in our SSP/IGH community and Chef Negusse is wonderful!“

“The coffee and treats are excellent, great staff, and a lovely space in the atrium to sit for a few.“

“Everything was excellent and the service was great. Really nice place to have coffee and visit.“

“First time, even though we drive by on the daily. New to the area as well. Amazing customer service and drinks were great as well! Found out they serve sandwiches as well. Will definitely be back!!!“

“My favorite vanilla latte in town. And you can’t beat the entertainment watching traffic. 😂“

“great coffee, great service, the club sandwich is amazing.... will come back often...“

“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!“

“To go window! Great for dog walkers!“

“Glad I finally stopped by this lovely, airy café for lunch! It feels like a museum café but far more relaxed and reasonably priced. I loved my vegetable tacos, made with grilled wild mushrooms, zucchini, and onion, and served with a really good homemade salsa. The coffee was also very good and slightly smoky (chicory?) The crafts gift store and art gallery in the building are a welcome plus! I want to bring guests from out of town here.“

“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!“

“This Caribou, in particular, has THE MOST ELITE staff. They are extremely outgoing, they anticipate needs of customers, they are friendly, masterfully managed and they remember you. Outstanding, way to go Fairview Caribou! And no, I don't work there and neither does anyone that I know....Just a customer“

“Great Breakfast, awesome service, & beautiful decor.“

“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.“

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

“Protein breakfast bowl really hit the spot. 🥰“

“Café Harmony is such a gem! The coffee is excellent—smooth, rich, and consistently well-prepared. The ambiance is just as special: cozy, inviting, and perfect whether you’re catching up with friends, reading a book, or getting some work done.“

“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“

“Great shakes & the staff is so kind!!! 10/10 recommend“

“Great little coffee shop! Excellent customer service! We had chai tea latte, a smoothie and pepperoni frybread pizza. All were so delicious!! Migwiich!“

“Bambu is my favorite desert place . I was so happy that I found Bambu in Minneapolis. It’s a little far away from my home but I don’t mind to drive . I love all desert and drinks they have. I can eat everyday if I could 😇😂. Also, Sandwiches 🥪 are yummy. All employees are pretty nice and friendly. The only thing I don’t like this place is parking is suck ( I know it’s only in Minneapolis) .“

“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“

“Good coffee, best scone I've ever had, friendly service, cool/artsy interior and a peaceful patio. I wish I lived closer - i would be here all of the time.“

“Embetito Dnish at Snelling Café

I keep coming back for this.

They call it Embetito Dnish—potato sandwich. Nothing fancy. Just warm sliced potatoes, fresh tomato, romaine, green senstro peppers, olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt, all wrapped in toasted bread.

What makes it hit? The contrast.

The warmth of the potatoes and bread. The cool bite from the romaine and tomato. The salty edge mixed with olive oil. A slight heat from the green pepper. And that twist of lemon—it wakes everything up.

Then there’s the tea. Hot, simple, spiced with Aforki’s touch. You feel it in your chest.

No menu can explain this. You just know when it’s right.“

“Absolutely love the nutrition spot and Sabrina(owner)!! Our kids refer to it as the shake shop and always ask for a "blue tea". It's my go to for a quick breakfast or lunch. I've been going here for a couple years now, but I remember after my first order Sabrina already had it memorized what I liked the next time I came in!“

“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.“

“very spacious and quick service“

“Always a little bit busy. But it's because the Coffee is the best Around. I ordered online and mistakenly got another task to quickly finish. Ended up taking A lot longer than expected. Oops. My fault. But order was ready right away.
Iced drink was mostly melted my fault but it was still awesome. The gals are always a pleasure to deal with.“

“It’s the first time. Nice place. Good coffee. Friendly staffs 🥰“

“Is it me or is there a different vibe when eating at a veg café? Perhaps what I was feeling was the beautiful sunny Sunday morning that greeted everybody in a nice way, or maybe it was just the thought of everyone with similar values enjoying a meal together in the same place. Either way, I had a delightful and slow-paced Sunday morning breakfast at Seward Café. With 27 menu items that are either vegan or can be made vegan upon request (all clearly labeled), you won’t have a hard time finding something enjoyable to eat like I did.
