This is a great place for a relaxed coffee in the morning. This time we beat most of the professional crowd arriving just after 7am. The laptops were rolling in as we were leaving.
Great and pleasant staff and a great cup of coffee.

Stopped in for a coffee, so many good options. Went with a september special, a pumpkin marshmallow concoction- it was delicious.
Was able to do some work- there is amble seating, tables, and outlets which is not always the case!
Ended up getting lunch as well. Got the turkey cheddar with pesto aioli - toasted and panini’d. I felt the sandwich was overpriced at ~$11, could be made a better feeling deal with a side or a “combo” option.
Staff were friendly, the bathroom was clean, the decor was cute. Would recommend some sound dampening just to cut down on the echoey-ness.
Started myself a stamp card and looking forward to coming back!

This was my first time here. I had a blueberry bagel with cream cheese and a pumpkin marshmallow latte (I forget the name). The shop has great atmosphere. I was very tempted by the mugs and pottery. The food and drink were wonderful.

I came here, and I got a smoothie. The smoothie was not a smoothie. It was more like a slushy, which was really disappointing considering it was seven dollars. The service was all right, I definitely felt rushed, considering I had never been there. I did mention that, and the worker pointed at the back wall with the full menu. No recommendations or anything was given, and it was just kind of short and rude. After I placed my order, she left. I’m guessing it was the end of her shift, and she wanted to leave, which I totally understand. It’s still was kinda ehh though. The flavor of the slushy/smoothie was really good, though. It just sucks because I wanted a smoothie. Not a slushy.

Cute shop and really good coffee, however the inside was very hot with the temperature outside already being in the 90s.

I love stopping here when I can. The coffee is good and the food is as well. Sometimes the service is pretty slow, especially on the weekends. Overall good place to drink coffee and eat good bagels and sandwiches.

I wish this place had been open when I was a college student living in St. Boni. There is so much room upstairs for studying or hanging out with friends! It reminded me of pubs I've been to in Ireland, located in really old buildings, where one room leads to another and then another, and you're like, "where does it end?" It was really cool, so 5 stars for atmosphere. The coffee was pretty good. My only complaint would be the food. I actually laughed when my half grilled cheese panini arrived at the table. It was so small and had zero presentation. And what was the cheese? Something processed? I don't even know. But for almost six bucks I expected a little more...something. Glad I got the half and not the whole. My friend got a breakfast sandwich and it was the same...small and not that appetizing, and I think it cost even more than mine. For 2 small sandwiches and 2 specialty coffees we paid $25. A little steep for what we got. But this place has potential!! Maybe just add a little something on the side of those sandwiches (cole slaw? A kale leaf?) or use thinner bread for the panini and make them bigger? Waconia really needs this place. (I still can't accept the fact that Frost and Steam is gone.) The students at Crown need a place like this to hang out. The menu just needs a little tweaking.
