Have been to the other Dogwood locations but this was my first time at their location in NE and is…read moreeasily my new favorite of the 3! They have a huge indoor and outdoor seating area and the patio is dog friendly - which was great to bring my god (they had water bowls and all). They also roast their beans here, so it's very cool to see that as well A few girlfriends and I sat outside on a beautiful Friday morning and enjoyed coffee and catching up. We ended up all getting one of the seasonal specials the spumoni (lavender honey latte) and we all really enjoyed our drink. They also have a wide variety of pastries from if you local spots including Marc Heu, which is awesome as going to the actual location can be a bit of a nightmare with long lines. The barista were all very friendly and were churning out orders quickly. There is some construction going on in the area right now so you do have to loop around a little bit which is a little confusing, but there is a huge parking lot with tons of available parking Another huge perk as it is also on the coffee compass pass - I'm already planning to go back tomorrow to use that BOGO deal :)

I stopped by during Art-A-Whirl and my first thought when I got closer was "I made a mistake, this…read morewas a bad decision" because of the crowd of people walking all over and the traffic. I can't be more thankful that they have dedicated customer parking only spots right out front because I would have skipped altogether if I couldn't find parking. Love that they have an accessible ramp, a spacious patio with some outdoor seating, really spacious indoor seating and clean bathrooms. Staff was friendly and despite the constant stream of new customers they were so fast and efficient in getting everything out quickly. Coffee was good, the chocolate chip cookie by Marc Heu was a bit disappointing though (that's not a Dogwood issue though) it just a want chocolate chip cookie-ing. Reasonable prices, friendly staff and dedicated parking is a win in my book. Also love that they partner with Sweet Renaissance for special drinks for the month.

*** GOAT *** This…read moreArgentinian steakhouse is absolutely incredible from the drinks to the incredible taste in their steaks and side dishes. I had literally the best Wagyu steak in my entire life. I ordered mine medium well. Their glazed carrots are absolutely super soft, but not too mushy and their glaze was absolutely delicious. I love how they char their broccoli a little bit. Their sauces for the steaks are absolutely incredible. I got the chili chimichurri and it was absolutely to die for I drizzled it on the vegetables and on my steak and I absolutely loved it. I came here with my next-door neighbor, and we both got steaks and she absolutely loved love the glazed carrots. She also got the Wagyu however it was a different cut. It was the sirloin and hers was tall and thick. She thought it was absolutely incredible. She got it medium rare. I can't wait to come back because I wanna try all their different steaks. They have so many to choose from. The service here is absolutely spectacular. They are so relaxed and they know the menu so well and they really love being there. This place is just an absolute relaxing atmosphere and they really care about your experience that you have dining here.

Then a scotch and grapefruit based cocktail that was equally as amazing. The bartenders were incredible and made us feel very welcomed, it was great.

Brunch at The Breakfast Club in Minneapolis never misses…read more I had the "Jamaican Me Hungry" and it was packed with flavor from start to finish. The sweet corn cakes were soft with just the right amount of sweetness, paired perfectly with the carnitas that were tender and well-seasoned. The black beans balanced everything out, and the pineapple salsa brought that bright, fresh pop that tied the whole plate together. The jerk sauce? Bold, smoky, and just the right level of heat without overpowering the dish. The atmosphere is always lively--good music, a steady brunch crowd, and that energetic weekend vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer than you planned. Staff was super sweet and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. Definitely a go-to spot if you want brunch that's flavorful, filling, and full of personality.
