CSB isn't somewhere that is pushing the boundaries of baked goods, but they're the place that has been doing it for decades and knows what they're doing. Think items such as crispies, apple fritters, raised and cake doughnuts, decorated cookies, cakes, etc. If you're passing through Cold Spring, give it a try. It's not a secret how good it is, so get there early before everything sells out!

We were able to do the sample holiday flights of hot lattes with substituting with Almond Milk. 5/5 -- drinking coffee at Ember Coffee Company.

There were a few spots for people to meet, places for smaller groups, and room for students or workers to et up their laptops and hangout! The aesthetic inside was very nice to the eye as well. Nice colors, and a very modern and cozy feel. The service wasn't out of this world, but there wasn't anything to complain about either. The were responsive and attentive. I had their dark roast drip coffee of the day, and it was fantastic. The menu was quite appealing and I would love to try out their breakfast options when I have a little more time. The biggest drawback is the location and parking. It's a bit out of the way for anything in St. Cloud, but maybe that's what they were going for. It's in the bottom of an apartment building, and the parking is not ample. I got lucky and had somebody leaving when I pulled in, but could see the parking filling up quite quickly with how busy it got!

$40 after tip for 2 adults - 2 house special coffees, 2 quiche, 1 scone & 1 rye peach cake…read more Service was quick, tho they initially forgot the scone... you order at the counter, take the showcase items with you, pick up coffee in the pick up area & they bring kitchen items to your table. You bus the table. There is a 5% fee for fair wages/Healthcare & such, a pretty standard fee in the area it seems. There is no charge for credit card/discount for cash. The coffee is delish, the environment welcoming & all baked goods were tasty, & the flavors were interesting- tho the peach cake was slightly over on the bottom. It stays busy! As they run out of an item, like the quiche of the day, it's quickly replaced with a new item - without interruption. Note: they make a mean quiche

Worst service ever !!…read more I went inside to get a few bagels. Ordered and paid for them and waited since the bagels were right behind the person taking the order. I was told to move down, though there was only 1 other person in the store. I waited about 3 minutes when the manager walked by. I asked when can I get my bagels. She replied, soon, we have a procedure. So after another couple of minutes, I still hadn't gotten my bagels. Yet there were at least 6 people working + the manger. I guess the coffee is more important ?? 4 of the people working were dealing with coffee in the drive thru. When I finally got my order, I complained about the service and got an abrupt answer from the manger who said "we've got a procedure". Well, procedure or not, having to wait 5 minutes for a few bagels was ridiculous. I'll never go back there again !!

Went here on recent vacation. It's walking distance from "the hotel" but we ended up driving there…read more This place is pretty new however it's well advertised both from the highway and also at "the hotel". Didn't seem to be many servers but we were seen right away. The entrance area (where we waited for our food) looked like a collection of knick knacks but standing there for a while, I realized it's a very unassuming small store (shirts, mugs, etc). Might be awkward standing room if there was a lot of waiting but we didn't hit it. Despite it being lunchtime (slightly late), they had breakfast options available. Thus, I got a parfet (#5) as well as a meet you at the mill (basically meat flatbread "pizza"). SO got a wobegon salad and a nitro cold brew. The menu warns the flatbread is for 1-2. I could have finished it but decided to split it into 2 meals. My SO did the same thing with their salad (supplimented by chips from another locale - neither of the above come with any sides). All the food was good. They have carry out and dine in options and even flatware for both. SO noticed they were (may not be anymore) voting for a new thing on their site, so they're still in the development phase somewhat. I also noticed one of the flatbreads on their menu was not on the hotel menu, furthering that belief. Small dings: * There's an unstated (as far as I saw) credit card surcharge of 3%. A few businesses do this because they are charged fees to use credit cards and pass that along to the customers rather than soaking it. This is their right tho I've always found a little shady when not stated, like the food costs an additional 3% more. * Respectfully, their pictures of the establishment here (on Yelp) IMO make it seem bigger than it is. Again that is their right to stage but just wanted to share that. It was not busy at all when we went. Neither of those things detract from stars IMO. I was also surprised there was a drive through. No reason not to but I didn't see any mention of that and even driving by it didn't see it. There also appeared to be outside seating tho no-one was using it. Some of the parking spots seem sort of awkward but the traffic was so light we didn't have any issue. Your milage may vary. There was a signed entrance and exit to the parking however the way we left you basically have to drive by the entrance to exit, so, confused out of towners may cause some chaos ;) All in all, I'd go back but I may pay cash and/or tip less because of the credit card charge.
