“I tried the claddagh because I was interested in the dark chocolate! However it wasn't for me, it was still really tasty just not what I was expecting/wanting. The lemon poppy seed muffin wasn't very good either unfortunately. It might have been a mis off experience but I'd definitely go bad and give another coffee a try!“

Note to other patrons:
Bringing a large group to breakfast on the busiest day of the week? Call ahead and reserve a table. Panicking the high school age hostess because you brought a group of 11, which was shortly followed by a group of 6, to a popular busy breakfast place and didn’t plan ahead… not their fault. Being seated after 1-top and 2-tops… normal. They only have so many big tables. Don’t flip out at the young girl trying to find you a table because someone eating by themselves was seated before your entire group had a free table. Accept YOUR bad planning and wait til they can accommodate you.

To the girls who were hosting and seating today:
I’m appalled by the way I watched these people treat you. You did everything right, and if they complain later about it, I hope your bosses see this comment!“

“Great place to hear your favorite band or musician“

“Key's doesn't just have incredible food but they make fantastic cakes. Their chocolate house cake it to die for. They did an incredible job matching the invitation and theme for my sister-in-law's baby shower cake! The spinach salad with warm bacon dressing it one of my favorites.“

“Randomly found their spot! AMAZING!! MUST HAVE!!“

“Love inside comfy tables and booths- great waitresses Old time Like a diner Restrooms need a lot of work“

“This may be the best coffee we’ve found in Minnesota☕️We both got The Neighborhood. The pastries were so fresh and pretty we had to get three! We had the browned butter donut, the lemon rhubarb tart, and the spinach and artichoke roll. We forgot to ask to have them heated, but they were so good we hardly noticed:)“

“Staff is friendly. I love the atmosphere. The bubble tea there tastes so good. <3“

“Huge shoutout to Jerry at Caribou (4682 S Robert Trail in Inver Grove Heights, MN)! Their speaker isn’t working, so he is going the extra mile by standing out in the rain taking orders! AND…they recently started using a new system and he is doing great learning how to use it! We love you, Jerry! #staremployee“

“I found a breakfast place open on a Saturday morning! This place was not a last resort. My breakfast was exceptional! Nice menu and homemade strawberry jam!! No seriously it was so good I ate it w a fork. Nice crispy bacon and slightly soft hash browns. Perfection!“

“Wow What GREAT Customer Service !! Tom made My Morning goin Shopping For Thanksgiving so stressed not so good Mood !! Let Me Say Mike turned that around , He had Me laughing ? ? what a guy !!! These People belong in Customer Service THANKYOU TOM AND “

“We have been here twice, and each time they take a moment to find out how you are feeling and suggest something from the menu that could help. Their teas and shakes are amazing and really helped my muscles after running a chainsaw all day. Thanks!!! They even suggested some kid friendly options that the boys loved.

Kid-friendliness: Yes, they were extremely patient with our boys and asked them lots of questions about what they liked and what was in the options.“

“Cute, cute, cute! So clean and coffee and food amazing!“

“very spacious and quick service“

“1.) Very friendly staff and good food & drinks.2.) DRIVE THRUS:. Why can’t Caribou workers except credit cards handed to them (like in their stores) instead of using the ANNOYING credit card machine on a long pole? Other fast food restaurants don’t use them. I mention this to the Caribou cashiers and they said other customers also don’t like using them.“

“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.“

“Always a fabulous meal - thank you!!“

“First time in! Great service and a super cute environment with plenty of space. My coffee was very tasty. ☕️“

“Less of a coffee shop and more of a hangout place for Christians they only take donations and you don't have to pay anything for what you order, it takes a bit to get your drink but it's very good. I'm not religious personally but I find it very relaxing to just come in and study, work it just mess around on my phone. Don't come here thinking it's just a coffee shop, all the workers at least when I've been here have been very kind.“

“Shar’els is just a great local cafe. The food is excellent. The service is great. Highly recommend for a great meal!“

“Super nice, fun, and safe place to bring the littles☺️“

“Grabbed an affogato to go and a couple of their truffles recently! This was my first time trying an affogato so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Their silky smooth vanilla ice cream and tart espresso both complement each other well. You get the sweetness from the ice cream which gets balanced out by the tartness of the espresso. As the ice cream started to melt towards the end, it incorporated into the espresso and made for a tasty experience. I'm not a huge coffee person but this was a wicked combination of flavors. Later on, I had the pleasure of enjoying their truffles which were all unique in their own way.#1 Mint TruffleThe mint truffle was the perfect balance of chocolate at 85%. You get that mint flavor right away which also leaves a nice aftertaste. This percentage of chocolate I found to be a good balance in terms of being able to enjoy all the minty goodness.#2 Caramel TruffleNext, there was the caramel truffle which was 41% chocolate and rivaled the mint truffle. There was a nice milkyness to the chocolate and smokiness from the caramel. The flavors were distinct in this truffle and it kind of reminded me of flavors that you would get in a Riesen. I really enjoyed this truffle as well.#3 Raspberry TruffleLastly, there was the raspberry truffle at 99% chocolate! That raspberry taste was upfront and also left a pleasant aftertaste. However, the percentage of dark chocolate was a bit strong and overpowering at times. Therefore, I would recommend 85% or less in this truffle if you aren't a huge fan of that strong chocolate taste.“

“just make sure your soup is hot and not like it just came out of the can. :(“

“It has been years since my wife and I have dined in at DC2. The hype after its first opening seems to have died down. Usually when asked about DC2's food, folks seem to have mixed reviews. So because we were around in the area yesterday, we decided to give it a try to see what has changed.The menu seems about the same, with a few less items. The biggest change is the prices, which definitely is dollars more than it use to. Understanding with economy/inflation, pricing up is eventually going to happen. But is it worth really spending about $5-$10 on dishes where you can go a few blocks over to Hmong Village for cheaper?We ordered the combination pad thai (big noodles), papaya salad (Thai med spicy), and hli xiab (fried pork with tamarind sauce). I was always a big fan of the pad thai sauce from DC2, which seems to be the same as I remember it. However, the noodles are a bit thicker, like chow fun noodles. It was soft, feels homemade, and paired very well with the sauce & meats. The papaya salad was not overly sauced, and tasted very fresh. It had just the right amount of spiciness, sweetness, and sourness for both my wife and I. The hli xiab was a dish we have not tried before, and did very much enjoy. You pick a choice of meat which is stir fried with a sweet tamarind sauce accompanied with bell peppers and onions. There is an option to add spiciness, which we did do. We chose pork which was first fried, then cooked with the sauce and veggies. If you love sweet like in orange chicken, then this is the dish for you!The service was great, much better then I remember it. We were seated immediately, and the waiter was attentive. They also have a call system button now which you can click to ask for something or add things too.Overall, I was very impressed with DC2 and will come again. To go back on my question, I would rather spend few more dollars here then go to Hmong Village.“

“All comments noted above!, a favorite!“

“Love the atmosphere, perfect for our ladies time on Sundays. A good variety of boba tea. I personally love the cappuccino.“

“Had a wonderful meal here today - our sever was very helpful and courteous - food was excellent - had the catfish Po boy - everything is very fresh - hope the cookie (oatmeal chocolate chip) I got to bring home is just as good :)“

“I highly recommend Mrs. Beth Abrams for her exceptional work. She specializes in forex and bitcoin investment, as well as funds recovery. Over the past three months, I have been utilizing her services, starting with an initial investment of $1,500. Thanks to her impressive trading skills, she helped me make over $12,000, and I've been consistently enjoying significant profits with easy withdrawals. The numerous testimonials from satisfied clients reflect the excellence of her services, and I am equally pleased with the results.“

“What a great breakfast spot!“

“I purchased a chocolate pecan pie for Thanksgiving and it looked and tasted fantastic! :)“

“Our College Station Sweet Paris is amazing! But, it is not just the excellent food and friendly atmosphere that is so inviting; it is the wonderful welcome that you get from the manager, Cory! Cory is one of the main reasons that I keep coming back, bringing family, and introducing friends to Sweet Paris. I have never seen a manager (or employee!) work as hard - always with a smile - as Cory. He is never still; he is constantly busing/wiping tables, offering silverware and napkins to customers, taking orders, overseeing that his employees are happily working, making sure customers are satisfied... there is absolutely nothing that Cory will not do to ensure that every person at Sweet Paris - College Station is satisfied and enjoying their crepe-experience. Of course, the food is superbly prepared, using all fresh ingredients, that are made to order. Thank you, Cory, for making absolutely every visit to Sweet Paris - College Station an enjoyable and memorable experience!“

“Great food, location and staff but not sure why when I got home I had 4 knives for 1 bagel. Slip on the bag said 4 knives and I never requested one. Please don't waste plastic, sure it's not cheap for the owner to pay for wasted, unneeded knives handed out.“
