10 Best Cafes near St. Cloud

“Love this shake shop! Very close to campus and fast and friendly service! Would recommend for anyone in the downtown area! Travis makes you feel welcome every time you walk in the door! Great prices too!“

“Visited Brigitte's today, and everything blew me away. We were greeted by the friendliest hostess, and quickly had our drink order taken. Waitress was over to our table very quickly and took our order so efficiently. Our food came out so fast, especially considering it was a busy Sunday morning (I bet less than 10 minutes). Food was cooked to perfection! Highly recommend this hidden gem!“

“First time I've had this type of food and my group enjoyed it very much! The owner genuinely seemed excited to have us there. The rice was awesome. I really enjoyed the goat. Would also suggest the Sambusa if you don't mind jalapeño. Will go back for sure.“

“Nice place to stop for a treat after a long drive. The employee behind the counter was very helpful and explained everything they had in the display case. They recommended we try the half and half beverage which is half tea and half coffee. It was delicious! It has a flavour that's similar to chai and was nice and foamy around the top. The mandazi was tasty too and it's like a more airy version of frybread. The beef sambusa was flavourful as well.“

“The staff really go above and beyond! I had the unfortunate luck of experiencing my car die in the middle of their drive thru during this cold spurt and heavy snow. I was so embarrassed but the staff immediately put together a quick plan to help. We got the car pushed out of the way and tried jumping it. Sadly for my car it seems like there's a bigher issue, but the staff were amazing and with no hesitation to help! I'm very thankful and appreciative of them on this cold morning!“

“2/5 would recommend their drinks. However, this is the third time that they get my order wrong. I loved their passion fruit QQ and would always ordered that every time I come here. Their passion fruit QQ always comes with jelly and tapioca pearls unless they run out of those toppings. The first time they got my order wrong, there was no jelly and only tapioca in my drink. They didn’t tell me if they were out of jelly or not and I didn’t notice it until I was already in the car driving. The second time, they put the wrong jelly in there and I was also not informed of this by the waitress. This time, I stopped by the place with my boyfriend and I got my usual order of the passion fruit QQ while my boyfriend ordered the mango slush with jelly in there. Keep in mind, the passion fruit QQ always come with tapioca and jelly. I though the white stuff inside my drink were the jelly but it was aloe vera. I didn’t know until I drank it in the car. Why would they put jelly in my boyfriend’s drink but not in mine when their passion fruit QQ always come with tapioca and jelly? I guess I should’ve check my drink every time I order but this is still unacceptable. Vivi needs to be more professional and have more workers.“

“We love Panera but I’m pretty sure the bread is getting smaller. Makes it a little difficult to eat when the tomato is bigger than the slice of bread.“

“The Caribou Coffee at 880 18th St NW in Sauk Rapids is hands down the best! Best staff, best drinks, great location, all in all my favorite!!! I thought I was crazy when I was telling my co-worker's that THIS Caribou is the best in the state and they all feel the same way! Maybe it's how friendly the staff are but my coffee always tastes better when I go here than anywhere else.“

“Where do I start?! Everytime I go in to Lifestyle (which is quite often) everyone is always so welcoming! It will always be a good day when it's started off by going here. Definitely my number one spot in Cloud! Thanks guys/gals!“

“Hands down the best coffee in town. Great staff, good atmosphere and not to mention their drinks are dynamite!“
