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

“This place has been on my list and I am happy that I have finally came. Overall, it was a good experience for me. There were so many good pastries, such as croissants, cream donuts, cakes, and breads. I was surprised that they even have egg tarts! It was very crispy and flaky. I also got the twisted donuts, kimchi croquette, and sweet frank roll. They are all good. I really liked the kimchi croquette. I would definitely come back to try out the other pastries.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“I go to the Bloomington location. Great food and nice staff.“

“I was help this morning by a lovely lady named Jill. She was so energetic and it was nice to see a smiling face earlier than 8 AM. She helped me fiddle with my gift card and was patient with me and appreciate the excellent service. And the drink was delicious as always too. Thank you, Jill!“

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

“Alright, here's that food review for Albi Kitchen:

Stepping into Albi Kitchen is like receiving a warm hug, all thanks to Fardowsa, the amazing owner! Her welcoming spirit sets the tone for a delightful experience. The tea is excellent, perfectly complementing the flavorful Sambusas. Don't miss out on their juices, cakes, and sandwiches – each item is crafted with care and tastes incredible. Albi Kitchen is a must-visit for anyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“Has some of the best coffee I’ve had in MPLS and a really awesome offering of pastries. I highly recommend the cinnamon maple roll and the lattes are always terrific. I thought the breakfast sandwiches were pretty tasty but just too small for the price so I wouldn’t get them again. Overall, I consistently go here for the pastries bc they’re great.“

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

“My husband and I are in Deephaven for two weeks watching our grands and our son told us we needed to go out to breakfast at Beanhaven. He said “it’s like a little hometown cafe” so today after getting the grands off to school we did. Wow, such a cute place, delicious food and coffee and a delightful server. I had the sausage mushroom quiche with Jim’s potatoes, my husband had eggs, bacon, Jim’s potatoes and toast. Omg every thing was amazing. We will definitely be back when we’re here from Iowa 😋😋😋“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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) .“

“Caribou d/c their apple cider which is my partner's favorite since he can't have caffeine. It's disappointing to say the least. The atmosphere wasn't great because of people thinking they need t he volume in their vehicle so loud it hurts others' ear drums. The people working at our Caribou are fantastic!!“

“The most consistent and delicious restaurant and bakery we’ve ever been to. So sad!!! 😞“

“I just wanted to thank the People at New Rules again!! I used the space to hold my birthday party. Everyone loved the unique space they offer. They were super easy to work with and very responsive with communication and questions. I would highly recommend them as an event space.“

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

“The food & incredible service was why I chose to celebrate my birthday at Abi’s with my family! Everything was absolutely delicious & our server really made our experience wonderful 🧡“

“very spacious and quick service“

“Everything was delicious. Blood orange lemonade, iced lavender Americano, breakfast sandwiches. Savory scone was moist, tender and flavorful. Seasonal Danish (bourbon pear date) was well filled with beautifully laminated pastry. Will definitely be back.“

“We had a delightful dining experience on Christmas Eve. The service was exceptional, which made the evening even more special. We were pleasantly surprised by an amuse-bouche that was complimentary, accompanied by plenty of fresh baguettes that was such a nice touch! I ordered the French onion soup, which was unfortunately served cold. However, once I brought it to our server's attention, she promptly resolved the issue by replacing it with a properly heated bowl. The sea bass was excellent, perfectly cooked and flavorful, while the scallops were equally impressive. One minor disappointment was the escargot; although they were served without shells and had a nice texture, they lacked a bit of flavor. Despite this, the dish was still enjoyable. Overall, I had a wonderful time and would definitely return for another meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience!“

“Best Asian Food choice in Chaska with classic American food choices. Daughter loved the cheeseburger and fries.“

“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.“

“Super cute place, very spacious and inviting! The staff are very nice and the food is delicious! I had the gluten free dairy free banana bread and it's better than any banana bread I've ever tried! (With and without gluten!) the gingerbread latte was so smooth and tasty as well. There is a convenient parking lot right next to the building which helps a lot!“

“Good food, great location“

“I tried the Normatec many times , this time Damaris was able to explained all the facts, so glad I came this time she is phenomenal ♥️“

“Great place and great employees!“

“Very tasty food. I had the Berserker egg and cheese sandwich with bacon, which was cooked perfectly. My husband had a club sandwich which was very tasty. My son had biscuits with gravy, a HUGE pancake with real maple syrup, and hash browns. He said everything was delicious. As wonderful as the food was, I thought that our server was the highlight of our experience. She knew the menu well, made suggestions and answered any questions that we had. And her demeanor was so at ease. Nothing flustered her, she was sweet, smiled often, yet was quite professional. I would think that she was very experienced. This is the kind of person who should teach customer service for any business anywhere.“

“Our company had a last minute breakfast this morning we needed catered, and found out 2days before (Wednesday night) the caterer we usually use couldn’t accommodate us. I called Ryan’s Cafe as soon as they opened Thursday morning and Ryan answered. I asked if there was any possible way he could cater breakfast for 57 the next morning by 7 am. He was in the middle of preparing for another event he was catering that day, but was gracious enough to ask questions, offer options and take down my information. He even made suggestions on which items to cut back on so I wasn’t overspending. He had the quote back to me in less than 30 minutes.Anthony, one of Ryan’s employees, arrived the next morning at 6:50 am with the food and had it all ready to serve by 7 am! The presentation was fantastic and the food even better! We had a variety of breakfast burritos and sandwiches (sausage, bacon, ham and a vegetarian option), hash browns, fresh fruit, pastries and all the condiments including butter, cream cheese, hot sauce, etc. Anthony was very helpful and gracious too!Everyone raved about how delicious and fresh the food was, and the generous quantities! And the bonus…the price was very competitive!I can’t say enough good things about Ryan, Anthony and Ryan’s Cafe! We’ll definitely have them cater for us at future events and look forward to the next one! Thank you Ryan, Anthony and Ryan’s Cafe for making our event such a success!“

“Tasty home style food , cooks are genuinely sincere n food is great but I won't lie it feels like your completely alone surrounded by people, people don't seem to acknowledge one another in that building , I think Jesus needs to be welcomed in there , ? food is good, I said thank you to the cook and he acted like no one ever spoke to him before“

“Hands down one of the best tuna melts I've ever had. So glad to be back in town so I could have it again and very happy to see all the staff who have always been very kind and helpful. Another bonus is the great view if you want to eat outside.“
