14 Best Cafes near Prior Lake

“We’re from out of town and were visiting family. We came to get a late breakfast or early lunch and this nailed it on the head. The space is light and airy. There is plenty of room around the tables. We didn’t have one person running into us going to or from their tables. Our service was Jeannie. She was superb! She gave us enough time to choose what we wanted to eat, brought the food out quickly, asked pertinent follow up questions and was happy to bring us a few more things we decided we wanted last minute. I ordered my eggs over medium and the chef nailed it! The yolks were runny and the whites cooked through. They were perfect! We were able to sit and enjoy our beverages, while feeling well-attended to without feeling rushed. Thank you for a great experience!“

“Yummy food and good service.“

“The clases are awesome, the gym floor has great equipment, the installations/pool/bathrooms/outdoor pool are good too, the personal is awesome. The big down side is that they switched the kids club hours and they close at 7pm mostly everyday, why do the offer a class from 6:30pm to 7:30 pm if they are going to make me pick up my kid at 7pm and missed half of my class. Really sad that this is happening. But why do they do that to working parents and the only time to have time for themself is late afternoon/night. The kids club personal is awesome tho. Las clases son geniales, el gimnasio tiene un equipo excelente, las instalaciones, la piscina, los baños y la piscina exterior también son buenos, y el personal es genial. La gran desventaja es que cambiaron el horario del club infantil y cierran a las 7 p. m. casi todos los días. ¿Por qué ofrecen una clase de 6:30 p. m. a 7:30 p. m. si me van a obligar a recoger a mi hijo a las 7 p. m. y perder la mitad de mi clase? Es muy triste que esto esté sucediendo. Pero ¿por qué le hacen eso a los padres que trabajan y el único momento para tener tiempo para ellos mismos es por la tarde/noche? Sin embargo, el personal del club infantil es genial.“

“The London Fig was excellent. Perfect for a snowy cold day.“

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

“My daughter and I came in on Thursday for our weekly Sam's club stop. They were out of what we came for but the manager Philip went above and beyond to make my kiddos day. The lady at the service counter was awesome too, I unfortunately don't remember her name though.“

“I go to this caribou nearly every day and often times I have a large order (3-5 drinks). I’m sure it’s a hassle to make this many drinks for a pick
up order but the workers are still kind to me. Mandy (I think that’s her name) always recognizes me and is super nice. And the manager there is also super sweet. I appreciate them making me feel welcome even when my order may be a bit annoying. And it’s an additional plus that the drinks are always made to our liking. I go to other caribous but it never compares to this one. Just wanted to express my appreciation for all the workers here.“

“Beyond impressed with the phenomenal customer service at CTC! The staff is so kind & incredibly helpful. I love trying their sandwiches, wraps and of course coffee too. Everything has been so great.“

“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!“

“Great customer service!!!“

“We went for the first time for our anniversary, drove from Hastings, the prime rib and scalloped potatoes were delicious. My husband had the halibut said it was great!“

“I do recommend but I also do not, Napa Chicken sandwich has cilantro added tonight, so my dinner was ruined. I have not had this problem in the last 6 months. Disappointing and will likely not take the chance again.“

“Always love Smith for coffee/food but the Thursday pizza night was exceptional. We tried 4 different pizzas and 2 salads. All were amazing!!! I hesitate to write a great review as to draw too much attention and it becomes too crowded 😅“

“I don't mean for this to be panera propaganda. But I don't know how or why, I have eaten at other paneras, (cough cough, Roseville next to the mall) and it doesn't nearly taste as good as the Shakopee location. Idk how, why, or what they put in their food differently. Ik they have the exact same cooking instructions and ingredients. But maybe the shakopee location has love in their food. Or doesn't over and under cook simple mac n cheese and other products.“
