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 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.“

“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.“

Our food was brought out in an expedited fashion, and I must say it was the most delicious meal that I’ve had in the last six months and I eat out almost every night of the week! Bravo Martina and Derek!
I plan to return again and again and bring lots of friends!! The menu is divine, and the is very romantic and approachable .“

“Thank you for making my day! Today is my birthday and my hubby went to get my favorite treat(The House Made Chocolate Cake) at the Stillwater location, but they were closed. Then those little angels inside saw him lingering at the door and after he told them his dilemma they gave him TWO slices to save the day! Showing kindness like that is a true testimony to your business model and all that is right in this world! We love that you are in Stillwater now. Thank you and see you soon!“

Laura was our waitress, attentive and friendly. Will be back!“

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

“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!“

Their dedication to customer satisfaction is evident in the small details, from the quality of the beverages to the prompt and courteous service. This coffee shop is a perfect spot for anyone seeking a positive and productive environment, and the excellent service undoubtedly contributes to a memorable experience.“

“Wonderful music venue, great sound, friendly staff.“

“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.“

“Check this place out if you get to the fair. Great beer selection and tasty food! The tacos and arancini are amazing, and have the nachos for a little extra snack.“

“It's open again as of June 2024! I had their bison melt with blueberry horseradish aioli and it was very good. I've tasted their appetizers, salads, and desserts at a catered event, and those were very fresh, tasty, and innovative as well. Highly recommend. The building had their grand opening on May 1st so the restaurant is in a new remodeled space.

Parking: Parking lot onsite.

Wheelchair accessibility: Building newly remodeled so it meets current ADA accessibility requirements.“

“Walking distance from Augsburg U, friendly service. When asked what I was eating (I decided to get what a customer got before me), cashier took time tell me about malawah...sweet Somali pancake (warm, sweet delicious!). Coffee nice and strong!“

“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“

“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 Breakfast, awesome service, & beautiful decor.“

“Solid and consistent good coffee.. creative bakery with fun flavors , kind staff. I love that they let people sell products and crafts along the wait line area.. a sweet mom/child project for scrunchies got me and I bought some.. 💕 oh!!! Don’t go on Mondays and be sad! That is the only day they are closed. Buy a scrunchie if you can!! Sweet mama and daughter sewn.“

“Staff were friendly, helpful, and informative. I asked a lot of questions since I'm new to the area and had not tried Caribou Coffee before. The drink was made exactly to my specifications and was very good.
Apple cinnamon pastries are delicious. I took an extra one home with me. Eggs benedict sandwich was okay but less flavorful than expected. The store was very clean and had a comfortable atmosphere.“

“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.

“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) .“

“Vegetarian options: The “Just Egg Sandwich “ and all the treats are vegetarian. Also bagels and cream cheese.
I know there are more sandwiches as well

Kid-friendliness: They have kid approved drinks and treats“

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

“Never disappoints me! My favorite section are the detox teas 😉“

“The food was very on point and the portion sizes was amazing also. good atmosphere and good employees.“

“No problem finding a table at 9:00 a.m. Waitress was prompt bringing us good and taking our orders. Bacon was particularly delicious. I would recommend if you looking for a new breakfast location.“

“Just moved to the neighborhood and this place is incredible. The folks are super friendly and everything has been delicious. The first time we went, we sat in the dining room and they have a back room with a table of billardettes. It was super cool to see folks playing and learn how it works. My partner is Eritrean and the Awaze Tibbs and a veggie platter were a smash hit. Since then, we've had cheese steaks and espresso drinks. Both were delicious. They roast their own coffee beans and even sold us some. We are also looking forward to the upcoming Eritrean community events they have advertised. Only critique is the bathroom could use some love. It doubles as a storage closet/shower full of cleaning supplies.“

“Best customer service with quality products. They carry variety of Ethiopian and east African food and spices(now Restaurant is added). Reasonable price and nice location which is closer to down town Minneapolis(Franklin & 23rd Ave south).“
