It's difficult to see the screen unless you're standing right by the cashier, so I ended up looking at the menu online while waiting to order. I ordered the small oat milk Apple Pie Latte, and it was delicious! It had a subtle apple pie flavor, and the dried apple garnish on top was such a cute touch. I also tried the Honey Granola with yogurt, which made for a light and satisfying breakfast. The café was clean, spacious, and made for a great place to sit down, enjoy my coffee, and get some reading done. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the parking lot was convenient and easily accessible. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely stop by again!

This place is actually a decent size but due to its popularity, it felt very crowded! So possibly plan on taking your drink to go. The service here was good and the man who made my drink was nothing short of a sweetheart! I got the raspberry cheesecake latte with oatmilk. This drink was over $11!! Not what I was expecting! Definitely the most expensive coffee I have gotten! Their menu seemed to have lots of unique and tasty coffees and items! I'd love to come back and try more. Despite the cost, the coffee was very tasty! In my opinion, this is one of the best coffee shops in the twin cities!

I was looking for a new and exciting brunch spot and for some reason we always forget that there…read moreare a ton of restaurants out in Wayzata. So I found Benedict's online and thought it looked like a good choice. The restaurant itself is really bright open and airy. Lots of natural light and high wood beams. The restaurant employs an online wait list, which I love. So you join the wait list online, it tells you how long your wait is and the you can plan your arrival to minimize your wait. I was surprised that on a Saturday, we walked right in and were seated... it wasn't all that crowded (that said, there was a big No Kings rally that day so people might have been busy). At any rate, we were greeted and seated immediately at a nice table. I enjoyed the many options on the menu and also loved that you could order a single specialty pancake if you wanted one. I ordered the classic benedict. My husband got the tot hash. We ordered a strawberry nutella pancake to share. The pancake was good, though honestly the nutella strawberry topping was a bit meh. My husband said his tot hash was not what he expected (they seem to make their own tots and then deep fry them) but he did like it. My benedict was decent, but there was way too much ham and not enough hollandaise. I hate when people are stingy with the hollandaise. Coffee was good and strong. My peach mimosa was fine but honestly pretty small -- I'd be surprised if it was 8 oz. Service was OK. Nothing super major to complain about, but my mimosa wasn't delivered until I was almost through my first cup of coffee. The waitress clearly just forgot about it. She basically said so and apologized. I noted that many tables had lovely little bottles of water for when you wanted to refill your glass, but we did not receive one. It also bothered me a bit that there was a lot of "stuff" on the floor. Trash, bits of food, etc. I know that things get really busy at brunch spots on the weekends. But someone really needed to go around with a broom or a vacuum. It's just not what I expect from a dining establishment where I'm going to drop $80 on breakfast for two.

You can NEVER get a seat in this place. It's full to the brim with entitled 20 somethings using the tables as their own personal office space. It's shocking to look around and see all of the people at the Lobby that either don't have a drink or food or have long since finished. One person at a fourtop. One person at a 6 top. It makes me insane

Food, drinks, and service were all amazing…read more They were very patient and accommodating to our overtired children which we appreciated. The vegetable soup was brothy and super flavorful yet simple. Veggies still had a bite to them yet were perfectly cooked. The salad was herbacious, loaded with lots of fresh herbs and seeds. I loved the ode to bread with the caraway or rye seeds in the salad. Super creative and delicious, The turkey club was huge and fed my husband and 2 children. The pastries were delicious even towards the end of the day. The coffee and matcha were definitely above average, and we are tough critics. Contrary to some of these reviews, there is plenty of seating for a coffee shop. Unless these critics are planning on contributing to rent for an expanded footprint, I think being proactive and taking a quick glance if there's a seat available would mitigate much of this frustration. We will definitely be back!
