    Diamond Dust is an adorable coffee shop and bakery located right next to Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. Their theme is everything PINK. The store is very welcoming with their decorations, staff and large tables, great for homework, meetings or a meal. I personally love their iced lattes -- their coffee is fantastic! They keep their store clean and offer free refills on regular coffee while in store. They bake their own goodies such as cupcakes, sandwiches and croissants.

    This was a cream puff.  I couldn't slow down enough to take a full puff pic.  It is that good.

    This is my Sunday morning pre-grocery shopping stop. Friendly staff, great pastries, cookies, sandwiches and yes, cupcakes. Worth a stop.

    Amazing eclair, just fabulous. And all of the baked goods belong in a magazine, beautiful presentation. Really cute decor. Not to be missed!

    The deli sammies are all great, and usually cut in half making sharing easy. The to-go heat and…read moreeats are sometimes a great deal and often very expensive--my repeat buys are the pulled pork, green enchiladas, and rice pilaf type ones. I find all their food quite salty, and sadly avoid the paneer, Swedish meatballs, or really anything with a lot of sauce. But I don't cook with much if any added salt at home, so "take that with a grain of salt!" Produce is usually high quality-and often I pass on it due to price. I tend to buy a few unusual items there that are hard to find elsewhere. The micro greens ,sprouts, unusual seasonal fruit like persimmon and fresh figs, and crazy many kinds of mushrooms make it a must shop stop for me. My fave dessert is the chocolate chip walnut cookie---if all they have is plain chocolate chip I take a hard pass, those are nothing special. I have quite a sweet tooth and the bars and such always look incredible. But, I think they are only pretty good. I am not sure why. Except those cookies I mentioned above. Yum. Croissants deliver on the promise-as does the fresh bread. Yes, that rosemary sourdough is worth it. And the baguettes are a must have to go with the cheeses you will turn around and pick up. The soup is great and it is also available on the top shelf of the refrigerated deli area.

    My wife and I recently stopped here for lunch, and to pick up a few groceries for our daughter who…read moreis attending college in town. The store is small, but is neat and well organized. The Deli had an impressive variety of both hot and cold offerings. We picked out a couple sandwiches for lunch, the Cuban and the Chimayo. The sandwiches were made fresh and were larger than I expected. The Cuban was pretty good for a small deli not specializing in Cuban food. It had chipotle mayo on it instead of traditional mustard, which I thought actually worked pretty well. The Chimayo is essentially a fancy turkey sandwich but the flavor combinations they came up with for it are great. I would recommend both this one and the Cuban, and judging by these two, you probably couldn't go wrong with the others on the menu. They also have a large variety of prepackaged salads and other items in the cold case. I did not sample any of these but the variety was nice, and they all looked fresh. I might have rated this five stars for the deli alone, but we did need to buy a few groceries, and that's what brought it down to four stars. I understand the Co-op ideals of organic, locally grown, etc., but everything was more expensive than any other grocery store, even for basic items. It's still a nice place and I wouldn't say don't go there for groceries, but if you do, expect to pay a premium. And be sure to check out the deli when you're there!

Also, it's super annoying to be asked to pull ahead because you're waiting on my food when there is no one in line behind me. Why?

Yet there were so many people pulled around there was no place to wait without blocking the drive through area. When we went inside to get our drinks everyone was standing around in the kitchen area. It took us a while to get the young man's attention who was working the till. We told him our problem then he went to help the next customer. One young lady in the kitchen announced "I'm going on break". After waiting for a while longer an older lady who was delivering a meal to customers who were waiting inside asked if we had been help. We told her the issue and she made the drinks right away. As we were walking out more people came in that had been waiting in the drive through line. There is no excuse to have customers wait for drinks. There is no excuse for workers to be standing around when there is a huge long line of customers waiting for their orders outside and only one table of people inside. The restaurant was not busy at all and there were more than enough staff. Worse service ever at any McDonald's

Restrooms are decent, not super clean but adequate. The convenience store itself is clean. I bought 2 Cokes on sale, didn't choose the usual energy drinks.

And when my Dad owned an operated a gas station in Iowa (Brink Oil Company - Estherville Iowa) growing up, 35 cents a gallon (or gas war pricing at 19 cents) was a clear memory. Question: Why is gasoline still priced with 9/10 of a cent added on? I share my Dad's love of driving and tend to fill up at the last minute. My friend Bob Merrill reminds me of the time that we ran out just a few miles short of Fairmont MN, but my favorite memory was gliding in an Omaha-area gas station just as the fuel-staved engine cut out. Gayle won't put up with that nonsense, so I'm usually looking to fill up when the needle drifts a little below half. On our recent trip back to the Twin Cities (from Spirit Lake), I chose this Speedway because it was time, and my current bias is that larger independent chains (like Speedway, Maverick, or Kwik Star) might be cheaper or at least have clean restrooms and nice selections at their Mini-Mart. And this Speedway delivered on all cylinders. In this case, it also turned out that the next gas station down the road (or at least visible from the highway) was at least a few miles away. Maybe something cheaper would have come up, but in the end, a gas station is basically a gas station, especially when they're open when you need them. I may be charging up my next car (here or elsewhere), but for legacy reasons alone, these places will be around a good deal longer.
