Wow, this cafe absolutely wins at ambiance. This is a cute-as-heck coffee and brunch place that was…read moreclearly converted from a Victorian home in Eden Prairie. I had an awesome breakfast burrito and their awesome Tirimasu Latte (iced), and they have other offerings that will lure me from St Paul for future visits. Specifically, now that I am mourning the loss of Sun Street Breads and its Thursday Night Pizza Night, I'll have to try Smith's version of that. But I'll probably come back for brunch on a weekend pretty soon and get more coffee, as well as something from their bakery. But also, yes, brunch; the eggs in my burrito were really perfect. I was there at around noon on a Sunday; peak busy times so parking was a little hairy but I eventually found a spot. I absolutely recommend coming with a bunch of pals and hanging out for a good long time, but maybe don't all drive separately if it's noon-ish on a weekend. They have a lovely patio area which was well-populated, even on this extra-sunny mid-February day. If you like adorable cafes, you will definitely love this place.

On a WFH Friday, our internet was being "upgraded" aka xfinity had a outage in the area for a…read morewhile... I immediately started looking at coffee shops that I could relocate to in order to work. I had been wanting to go try Smiths for a while but the opportunity just never presented itself despite being just down the road. I arrived and the driveway leading to the parking lot was lined with cars, but I was able to find a spot in the parking lot after a minute or so. It was definitely a full lot for sure. The location is absolutely adorable as this is a historic house. It was once a Dunn Brothers, but I do love that it is its own thing now rather than a chain. They had a outdoor patio that people were enjoying but it was a bit chilly for working and sitting outside, one person even had a dog which I LOVE! Inside the front door you are greeted with a welcoming counter that you can order. I opted to try the salted caramel iced latte. If you are consuming there (which I was) they give you a number to bring to your table and they bring the drink. I really liked this idea especially in the aspect of not having to stand and wait for a drink. The price was a bit high (7.55 for a 16 oz with $1 tip), but then again everything is getting expensive these days. I walked back to the seating area and there are essentially 3 rooms downstairs, I walked through all 3 to see where working would be ideal. I went upstairs but there was a woman in the room so I assumed it was a group that was meeting or something so I opted to not investigate further. I found seating downstairs in what felt like the quietest part, but there were a lot of people there talking and the acoustics were not exactly fantastic. I did have a call which I took via teams and air pods and discovered the sound in the room was actually really not awesome for a meeting as it was quite loud and the wifi was not strong enough to support the video on the teams call. So would I recommend working from Smith, not if you have a meeting, but if you are looking for a place that has some background noise, I guess... However this is certainly a place that is perfect for meeting someone and enjoying breakfast or coffee and I love that. I did not order food this time, but everything I saw get delivered looked delicious. I also noticed they have a pizza night on Thursday nights and immediately made a note of that for a date night with the hubby.

The cold brew was delicious as the blueberry cold foam really pulled the drink together. We weren't as fond of the lemon latte - I think the lemon bitters just threw us off. Service was okay! Not anything standout like the rest of the reviews have raved about, and one of our drinks took 10+ minutes longer than the other to come out. During this time, though, we enjoyed looking at the merch and the 'little free library' (that isn't so little!) in the shop :-)

Bellows Bistro hits that sweet spot perfectly with their dnd/fantasy bistro. I love dnd, and bellow's bistro just knocks it out of the park. It is an incredible and fun experience without being too much. Whether you're a big dnd nerd, or just someone looking for an interesting and entertaining new place with delicious food, you'll have a good time. The service was great, the drinks fun, and the food is all made from scratch and delicious(we really loved the beholder bites) I've been telling all of my nerdy friends about it, and I loved it so much that I wrote a yelp review for the first time in like a decade. 10 out of 10, absolutely worth the trip into Chaska.

We decided to sit outside because it was a nice day and they have umbrellas all over their patio. The server came out with metal water cups which I've never seen but was pleasantly surprised! The menus are hilarious and this would be a great place for that video game lover in your life. My Husband loves DND and new mostly everything on this menu so it was fun getting to learn a bit more. He opted for the ember chicken sandwich and loved it even got the Dragon's Breath sauce on the side to try which was very very spicy. I opted for the pickle burger which had fried pickles on it and I WISH had cream cheese instead of cheddar as that would really bring it home for me. I did get it with the beyond burger for a three dollar up charge but was still very good. The fries are thick and beer battered with really great seasoning on them. For our drinks I got the butter beer which my only note for that is the sauce was dripping all down the sides. onto the table, and on me... and it really ruined the experience. The drink itself was so tasty but I really hated how sticky I got. My husband got the stamina elixir and the presentation was wonderful coming out of an elixir bottle. He said it tasted really good with the Midori and lime. Overall we're planning to come back here before the Renaissance Festival in our get up and have a meal. It's a really cool space and I can't wait to explore more of the inside.
