    I really need to work on leaving reviews. Whenever I'm visiting a new city I love to search for a good coffee shop. I found this one when I was in Alexandria in July. I ordered the firecracker mocha iced which was like nothing I had ever tasted! Absolutely loved it. Friendly staff offering to show me the upstairs. As you can see from my photo this is a cozy place to hang with friends or alone. So peaceful and welcoming! I'll definitely be back!

    This was a great find in downtown Alexandria. Cozy little place that roasts their own coffee!

    I was happy to have some real coffee in Alexandria! Try their cold brew or even better their Nitro Cold Brew.

    Favorite coffee shop of all time. I go here at least 3x a week. Cheap but awesome coffee. Amazing workers! Support local business !!!

    What a great place to go for coffee or lunch. Brief menu, but good assortment of soup and sandwiches or wraps.

    I ordered a mocha and it was way better than Starbucks and less expensive.

    Stopped by Thunder Coffee while exploring Brewhalla in Fargo and really enjoyed it. I had a hot…read morecoffee and it was very good, smooth and exactly what I needed. The space itself is really cool with that industrial, creative Brewhalla vibe and lots going on around you. It's a fun spot to grab a drink and wander around a bit.

    Darling! Located inside of Brewhalla, Thunder Coffee serves up all the classics plus seasonal…read moreoptions. I'm rating it a 4 only because I don't get the full coffee house energy due to it being inside a larger building with other shops. Contrary, the Thunder Coffee area is very spacious, sterile and has a nice long bar to order and wait for your items. I opted for one of the seasonal specials labeled Fallen Alley. It was an orange flavored latte with some cold foam on top. Certainly sweet and not something I would order on the regular, however it's fun to treat yourself once in a while. The staff was friendly and made my drink in a timely manner. There are a few specific Thunder Coffee tables but the beauty of being in Brewhalla is that you can sit anywhere on the 2 story levels or go outside. Lots of versatility. I appreciate the unique flavors to which you can add to any item. The ones that stuck out to me included banana bread, root beer, and gochujang caramel. There is also a light breakfast menu with items ranging from oatmeal to breakfast sandwiches. Perhaps I will dabble with the food on my next visit. Thank you, Thunder Coffee!

    This camp is located in Alexandria. I reviewed it for that area, but wanted to share this fabulous…read morespot for all of you Twin Citians, thus the listing in St. Paul. They do have a website- adding the www and dot com thing. mountcarmelministries My family and I have been going To Mt. Carmel since my kids were barely in elementary school. Mt. Carmel is a beautiful family Bible camp on a large chunk of shoreline on Lake Carlos 4 miles north of Alexandria, Mn. A great swimming beach- diving dock, kayaks, canoes and a pontoon boat are there; kids are supervised by a lifeguard and there is a campfire ring as well as a sauna. No extra fees for using boats- or anything for that matter! We were looking for a Christian Camp with multiple programs for all ages and let me tell you, Mt. Carmel has something for everyone. There are Worship services in the morning and evening, Bible discussion groups, activites for the kids including crafts, games, movies- you name it. There is a gorgeous brand new Chapel overlooking Lake Carlos, and a beautiful lodge- plus 30 cabins and cottages. Mt. Carmel is one of the hidden gems in Minnesota that begs to be discovered. You can go there, be at peace, let your kids do their own thing and not have to worry about their safety or what they are doing. Their counselors are college students with a strong commitment to Faith and genuinely love teaching and being with children. This place is so wonderful- you can literally do all of the programs or do none of them. There is no pressure to participate, but you'll want to. Many of the guests have been going for generations, and there are just as many new guests who are discovering this sanctuary from the pressures of the world. The accomodations range from cottages, rustic cabins, remodled cabins, brand new cabins, RV sites and luxurious lodge rooms. A family of four can spend a week there for well under $1700, and that's with a top-tiered lodge room WITH FOOD! Cabins and cottages are less expensive and have a wonderful charm of a forgotten Minnesota. The food plans here are variable- you can go no food, some meals or full plan, which is what we do- breakfast, lunch dinner and snacks. There are a few special nights like a Hoedown or an ethnic buffet.' The food here is spectacular. Entrees range from grilled ribs and chicken to homemade lasagna to pizza to tatortot hotdish! Every lunch and dinner had homemade bread or rolls. Theres also a healthy salad bar and special diet considerations are available. My kids are a bit picky and they ate everything. They now have free WiFi too. Please treat yourself or your family to a week or weekend at Mt. Carmel- they are now open year-round for vacations, retreats and even business meetings. We have made many friends there and are so grateful we "took a chance". We usually do the same things- same restaurants, etc. This is now our most anticipated destination of our year! There is one bad thing about Mt. Carmel- my kids cry when we leave. That's quickly extinguished by the Dairy Queen in Alexandria on the way home.
