First time I came here, the worker was very friendly and gave their recommendations, which turned out to taste really good. I’ve been back a few times since and the other workers are just as friendly. It’s a nice place to study and the lattes are good (on the sweeter side if that’s what you’re looking for)

Ambiance is cute and the iced tea is amazing! The coffee is a bit too watery in my opinion but a nice quick stop for an afternoon drink

Love the coffee and drinks! Really AMAZING drinks selection!!! Very happy that they have soy milk as a milk substitute! Really great vibes and a great place to find a gift!

Excellent service and if you are looking for a unique gift, check this place out. They have the cutest baby clothes and home decor. Check it out and you won’t be disappointed.

My daughter and her boyfriend went there, and forgot her purse. We went back to retrieve it, and since I had tasted her Emerald Isle and loved it, I ordered that, and my three kids had other orders made. An easy mistake to make, as one of our drinks ordered was a 12 oz, that was what they also gave me. I mentioned that I had ordered a 16 oz, and they corrected it, and we left. We were in a hurry, so I didn't try it in the shop, as my daughter had to get to work 30 minutes away. We were just leaving town, and I tasted it, and it had an odd after taste. It didn't taste as good as my daughter's earlier drink that she had gotten with her boyfriend. It had a stinging aftertaste. I told my daughter they used a diet cola or something, and it had the chemical sweetener aftertaste. Finally, my daughter tasted it and agreed. None of us wanted it, and I got my daughter to work on time and went home. I tasted it at home, and it also has a moldy aftertaste! That seems impossible if my daughter's early drink of the day was sweet and tasty. Maybe the "emerald" part of my drink was mold, or maybe they were upset that I corrected their 12 oz mistake? My daughter has a punch card, but probably won't be using it again. Whether or not my drink had something moldy in it, and whether or not they used diet cola instead of regular (and we have reactions to chemical sweeteners), the fact that the same drink cannot be made the same way within three hours time on one day makes me think I will always be playing roulette when ordering. My daughter is better at telling a shop they made the wrong thing than I am, so I may always end up getting a drink with no consistency. But I don't recommend the Emerald Isle Iced Coffee at all.

Love the coffee! Tends to be a little less sweet than the chains which I like. Plenty of non-coffee drinks, treats, and food choices as well. The shop area is an added bonus. The perfect place to find a unique gift or piece of seasonal decor.

Pretty- but the yogurt parfait was just yogurt and the cheesecake was actually whipped cream so some things could use an upgrade in my opinion as far as snacks go.

Cool place, great coffee and other many drink selections plus lots of decorative items...unique.

I used to really like this place. I understand times are hard post covid with staffing and such, but nowadays my order is usually incorrect, the staff don’t seem to care whether they get it right on the first try or not, and even the home decor and gift selection has declined. With so many other coffee choices in mankato, it would be difficult for me to return now with so many subpar experiences recently.
