The murals are such a lovely touch! There wasn't that many people on this Sunday morning but there should be much more! We had the honeycomb and biscoff milk cake with an iced Qamaria latte and Mango smoothie. The honeycomb was my personal favorite I love anything honey and the cheese embedded in was so good! The latte was DELICIOUS! I loved the cardamom flavor combined with cinnamon. The smoothie was very sweet but not overly so. The biscoff milk cake was probably my least favorite because I didn't really taste much biscoff to it. Overall, we were quite impressed and intend to be back!

Service is honestly the biggest thing I noticed during my visit. The barista (maybe owner?) greeted me with a huge smile and welcome. Multiple people during my short time here came in and knew her by name - they asked about her holiday plans and when she would reopen after a short holiday break. It was clear she had created community here - something that's really special in a cafe. I got a hot matcha and it had great flavor. I also got a gluten-free chocolate chip scone that felt a bit dry, but otherwise good. There seating definitely fills up fast in here with some fellow visitors and medical students, so I ended up sharing a table with some students. Outlets were a bit limited as well. I started seeing Moka pop up around me after my visit - my friend in Madison swears by their coffee beans, and others rave about their coffee and lattes. Give them a try in Rochester!

I got a vanilla latte and really enjoyed it. They also had some bakery items and sweet treats available, though I am not sure if they make them there or bring them in from somewhere else. The café itself is on the smaller side, but that makes sense since it is inside a hotel. There is still enough space to sit down and enjoy your coffee for a bit, and you could probably get some work done too, though I personally would feel a little awkward staying too long if it got busy. The service was good and the whole place had a nice relaxed feel to it.

When I was there last month, the parking lot was pretty busy. I didn't park steps away from the main entrance, but way to the right of the main doors. After a wonderful meal, I walked over to my car. I passed by The Fit Loon and it stopped me in my tracks. It had the feel of ZeeV's Nutrition Studio, which is my place for healthy, low- to no-sugar shakes and teas. Could this store be one? Yes! I was so happy that I walked in without any thought. I was greeted by a nice man behind the counter. He asked if I had any question as I looked at all teas and shakes listed on the wall. I settled on the watermelon crawl tea. Since I didn't have any questions about the menu and knew what I wanted, he knew that I was familiar with healthy teas and shakes. "Where's your nutrition homebase?" he asked me. "Toronto, in Canada. I used to live in Rochester and found your store in passing," I said with a huge smile. I asked if I could sign in to the touch pad. He said of course. It helps that I'm registered on the Engage app, so associating my drink with me when I pay makes everything easier. He let me know that the store was celebrating its one-year anniversary. What shocked me was that I have been coming to get pannekoeken in this plaza for nearly a year and I had never noticed this store until now. Where have I been?! This place had so much excitement buzz happening thanks to its anniversary. You could get branded merchandise, from hoodies and t-shirts, to drink cups. It had cakepops that looked amazing. You could enter a bunch of draws, to celebrate the store's anniversary. The snack bowl had an assortment of protein bars that I had never seen before. The store is cozy. I loved the comfy chairs. The wall with What's shakin'? and balloons was the perfect place to take photos. My drink was ready for pickup. I thanked both staff members and left. The man wished me a good trip, which I appreciated. The watermelon crawl tea was excellent. It had watermelon and cucumber. I felt like I was at a spa, but was visiting my old 'hood. It was the perfect drink to keep me cheerful and hydrated in Rochester, and kept me energized when I left and drove an hour back to Bloomington. The Fit Loon was a wonderful find. I will be back. I'm so happy that Rochester has a place where you can get healthy drinks. Such a terrific edition to the city! (424)

I decided to get the Peach Fruit Shaker, this is made with coconut milk, peach syrup, dried peaches and vanilla. This is similar to the Summer Skies drink at Starbucks. I've seen several people walking around with these shakers. This was far too sweet for me, I didn't like it at all. While the flavor was peach, it was very candy like, very artificial and very sweet.

But what struck a cord was when a homeless person came in with no shoes and we could tell he was genuine. I approached three different Caribou Coffee associates and handed them a twenty dollar bill and asked them to give him $20 worth of food to take with him. They all ignored me and when I said multiple times to take the money and feed him, they all looked at me and turned around and walked away. I'm a retired firefighter and know when someone is down on their luck. But these employees took the cake by ignoring my Good Samaritan aid. Shame on them.

We waited about 5 minutes for the food which was not too bad. It was around 2:00 in the afternoon so the rush for lunch was over. The iced latte came up next a couple of minutes later. The sandwiches were a bit burnt but edible. We then waited another 20 plus minutes for the strawberry refresher. I checked on it twice and they told me it was on the way but third in line. Finally after we finished all of our food and iced latte we needed to get to our other appointment. I went to the counter and waited to ask for my money back. I'll NEVER tip again at the counter. They said they were getting our drink ready. I waited, they gave us the drink and $3 off a future visit which I gave to someone else. We started heading to our next appointment and the drink was so bad my daughter had to throw it away. Terrible experience and their excuse of we training is no excuse.
