“Great place with great owners who are real team players!“

“Workers are very polite and coffees are good. Ive been to plenty of places that advertise a seasonal flavor but then the drink just tastes like coffee. Tried Nina's pumpkin spice latte and it definitely tasted like its name. Tons of seating and very cozy vibes.“

“came in a matcha sceptic and left a matcha believer! the staff was so kind and the owner was the one that took our order. since it was my first time and i wasn't sure what to get, she was able to ask a few questions and give me a recommendation. i ended up getting the seasonal carrot cake flavor and it was really good. its was like a drink and little snack because it came with a piece of carrot cake on top. on top of that, the cafe was really cute and chill. we stayed for a while to chat.“

“Wonderful combo of traditional fare and things you've probably never heard of. Friendly people and beautiful, tasty food.“

“The service was amazing and the food was even better!!! Couldn’t have had a better experience! Will definitely be returning when we’re back in St. Paul“

“The best coffee and lovely space!“

“Fast friendly service. Food was good and hot. Will come again when I visit next time!“

“I got the triple berry crepe with dark chocolate sauce and it was delish!! The star of the plate was the unassuming whipped cream. I’ve never had whipped cream like it before and it’s honestly the best I’ve ever tasted so don’t skimp on it. I also tried one of the croffels and was blown away by the many layers familiar to croissants made crispy by being cooked in a waffle iron. I can’t say enough about the flavors and textures experienced at Paris Crepes & Boba Tea. The cherry on the top is the speedy and friendly service. This place is a must try if you enjoy crepes and croissants. 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Wow! We just had breakfast at the Uptowner; this place is our new favorite for many reasons! Everything we ordered: pancakes, omelets, eggs benne and hash browns were some of the best we’ve ever had served to us. Our server was also so genuinely kind and attentive! We hope to make it back soon… I have my eye on that Ruben.“

“Super cozy atmosphere and love the tasty Kava drinks ! Kava is a great way to relax with your friends and they have games and other themed nights I’ve noticed which keeps evenings interesting. Definitely love this trend and hope they open another closer to the cities.“

“The food was piled high and tasted homemade. However, our waitress left little to be desired. Took half our drink order then disappeared. When she showed back up the remaining 3 people tried to order their drinks and she cut us off asking 'are you getting food?'. We'd like to order our drinks before our food. Then when all of our drinks arrived our food showed up at the same time. It took less time to get our food than coffee and water. She was short, rude and kind of ruined our experience.“

“We went to the cities to see Evanescence on the 20th of September and had layover time for the concert to start so my husband and I walked from the venue to Little Brazil. Unfortunately, we got absolutely drenched walking back to the show. Not only that, but we forgot our precious signed posters from the band at our table . The staff saved our posters and kept them safe until we made it back to get them the next day which we truly appreciated. They would have been destroyed by the weather otherwise. We were SO enamored with this gem of a place, it was WORTH the soaked clothes, chattering teeth and watching the rest of the concert soaked through! There is definitely something for everyone whether it be coffee, dessert, sandwiches. They also have a market of imported goods to try like chocolate, candies, snacks etc. Now whenever we are near the cities, it's going to be a must stop! 💖“

“This is such a nice little place. The Lex is the best espresso drink I’ve ever had. Wish I lived closer!“

“Great food and friendly attentive waitress when we ate here today. The dining area is nice with the big windows and the tables were nicely spaced apart.“

“Got the savory crepe and sweet crepe and they were so so good. Also had the Strawberry mango smoothie yummm!!“

“Ordered a full sheet of Ho ho cake at the Roseville location. From the online order to the pick up... absolute perfection. Everyone was so friendly and if they didn't know they found out the answer. I didn't have to worry if the cake was going to be exactly what I was hoping for. AND the taste... so many compliments. Definitely will be back for more cakes from here. Worth the hour and a half drive from home for it!!“

“We love going there on winter and rainy days. Great place for getting out of the house and meeting other kids. Snacks are reasonably priced. The only thing I would change is they offer peanut butter sandwiches. As a mom of a kid with a nut allergy, I always feel kind of on edge about if a child has eaten the peanut butter sandwich and then not washed their hands and then it’s gotten on a toy that my kid will play with and then my kiddo will have a reaction. Or I’m constantly looking around at what kids are eating and if I have to ask my kid to watch out or the other kid if they can wash their hands. Now I totally get that the world does not revolve around my kiddos (and others) allergies, but at the same time there are a lot of kiddos with nut allergies (and most of them are anaphylactic) that it would be nice to have a sunflower butter or an almond butter instead of peanut butter. Both of these can be true at the same time. Anyway, great place to go, good prices on snack, but wished they didn’t have pb&j sandwiches“

“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.“

“I stopped by because I saw that they have papaya salad! It was delicious! One of the best that I had lately. If you like lao style papaya salad, definitely want to get some from here. It's not so sweet or too sour, just enough balance. Their drinks are delicious! I never had lemonade with different favors and you can add toppings! Like what! The owners are super sweet & friendly. The Bami was good. I loved the bread on the bami. I will be back to review their mochi! Love this place!“

“Everything was excellent and the service was great. Really nice place to have coffee and visit.“

“Friendly staff. Fast service. Food was very good. I recently moved to Saint Paul and will definitely return to this establishment. 😁“

“To go window! Great for dog walkers!“

“Giving this 5 star bc its solid breakfast and big portions but as far as food ive eaten in Minnesota I think my expectations were too high. The food scene is amazing here and I just expected too much out of a breakfast place. This is no henhouse but its good.“

“This is what a community coffee shop should feel like. There was a bustle and energy that was fun to be in. Thanks for being a great place to hang out and work!“

“Oh my god. Truly such a perfect meal. The food was so flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and not oily at all. I ate until I was absolutely stuffed but did not feel heavy at all (not to mention the portions are huge so I still had half my plate left). The food and ingredients tasted so fresh. They do not skimp out on giving you meat either. The owner is so sweet and funny. I truly cannot say enough good things. Definitely will be coming regularly to this place from now on.“

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

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

“It’s the first time. Nice place. Good coffee. Friendly staffs 🥰“

“The food was very on point and the portion sizes was amazing also. good atmosphere and good employees.“

“Always delicious! A real treat.“

“Always a little bit busy. But it's because the Coffee is the best Around. I ordered online and mistakenly got another task to quickly finish. Ended up taking A lot longer than expected. Oops. My fault. But order was ready right away.
Iced drink was mostly melted my fault but it was still awesome. The gals are always a pleasure to deal with.“

“Absolutely love the nutrition spot and Sabrina(owner)!! Our kids refer to it as the shake shop and always ask for a "blue tea". It's my go to for a quick breakfast or lunch. I've been going here for a couple years now, but I remember after my first order Sabrina already had it memorized what I liked the next time I came in!“

“Other than Google telling me during the heavy rain that once I'm in the rain to go to Portillos to find coffee before getting to Raising Canes every other part of the experience at Caribou was wonderful and the girl running the register even helped me not throw my phone because of Google deciding I needed to be soaking wet by getting the right location to order my special to and just everyone was wonderful and so was the coffee.“

“Very comfortable environment! Folks that work there are excellent with customers, they are kind, attentive and you can tell they want to be there, too.“

“The very pleasant server shared that I had a 50% discount available. She applied that to my order but the system would not let it go through went I went to pay. Did not get the discount today… not a people issue, this was a problem with the caribou system.“
