Easy street parking and it wasn't a busy morning. I was greeted when I walked in. Plenty of seating once you go further back. I don't remember what I got but it was really good! I got it with oat milk. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a new coffee shop to try out!

We stopped at Insomnia cookies... I was shocked that Mankato had one of these! I also didn't…read morerealize we have one in a Dinkytown too! The guy at the counter was super helpful on informing us on the specials and the other locations in MN. This location had a little counter to stand and eat your cookies if you wanted, but no seating. It was in a foodie mall with a bunch of other restaurants. Perfect stop for dessert! We got the Limoncello and Red Velvet since they were specials and not on the main menu. Oh yes.. the classic chocolate chunk is also hit. I enjoyed the Limoncello as it reminded me of the Lemonades Girl Scout cookie but better. I'm sure we will venture back here.

I stopped in after work this week. I ordered the Strawberry Patch latte off of the summer menu. It…read morewas definitely yummy but I was caught off guard by the price. My total for a large iced latte ended up being over $9. I suppose this might be commonplace for pricing anymore but I don't go out to coffee shops very often. I had checked their menu on their website before going and it must be VERY out of date considering the flavored lattes on there are listed as $4.48 for a medium. I'd recommend looking at pricing on DoorDash instead if you are curious. I don't think their menu board had pricing but I could have missed it maybe??? Employees were nice and happy to help me choose the right coffee for me. Service was quick. The shop was cute but there were quite a few flies so I left pretty quickly after getting my drink.

Let me start out by saying I never eat breakfast at all, and if I do I take a couple bites and I'm done. I had the best breakfast and ate it all!!! I had an everything bagel with garlic, scallion cream cheese and sprouts. I can't wait to back again next weekend to try the cinnamon rolls. The service was great and quick considering there was a line the entire time we were there. The girls were so welcoming and kind, with big smiles and just a great overall attitude. Love the atmosphere, love everything about it, nothing but good things to say! If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
