    Macroons and an Americano
    Aurah Gqunefere W.

    Delicious coffee, amazing selection of locally sourced goods, and delightful coconut macaroons. The monkey bread latte seems to be a very popular drink here, and I'll have to return another time to give it a go! Was wanting something less sweet today, so went with an americano - DELICIOUS! I've had a number of burnt-ish coffees recently, by my own hand at home, and this was exactly what I needed, and the barista was very helpful in answering questions about the menu. I'm gf, and never expect bakeries to have things I can eat, but I always still ask. Was delightfully surprised and greatly enjoyed both of my macaroons! They have a crispy exterior while still being soft and chewy on the inside, and without the dryness you sometimes get from this type of baked goodie. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only complaint is that I wish it was a smidge warmer today so that I could enjoy their adorable front patio longer![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Met a friend here to connect and catch up and it was perfect for that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On a beautiful afternoon, we were able to grab a table outside on the patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had a hot latte and was deciding on a 'sweet or savory' scone. I went with the sweet which was chai vanilla. I asked if it could be warmed up and the answer was 'of course'. It was quite delicious. Staff was great. One person taking orders, making coffees, and warming up scone and she did a great job multitasking. Nice stop.

    Amazing bakery, honestly might be my new favorite in MN!! We trekked here in the snowy weather, and it was well worth it. We tried the morning bun, almond croissant, apple hand pie, French toast, and pumpkin scone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only downside was that there isn't much seating indoors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was also fantastic!

    I was originally headed to Café Ceres, only to discover it had permanently closed. On the drive over, I passed this spot and decided to double back for breakfast--and I'm glad I did. It was a windy day, and we didn't realize outdoor seating was the only option, but we made the most of it (a few napkins didn't survive the breeze--oops!). I ordered an iced London Fog and the ham and cheese breakfast sandwich. The biscuit was especially good--flaky, buttery, and full of flavor. I took a monkey bread to go. It was a bit dry and denser than I am used to. I would try a different pastry next time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside, there's a small gift shop you can browse while waiting in line, which adds a nice touch, though it's quite tight and can feel a little claustrophobic, especially during peak hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are two restrooms available, but only one was in service during our visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After placing my order, I noticed they also sell goodies like homemade coffee creamers and syrups in a cooler near the counter. Prices are on the higher side, but considering the quality and taste, I'd say it was worth it.

    We arrive at about 9am to a line out the door. For good reason! Everything ended up being delicious. The line moved fast. The little store items were cute and they had some great cheese for sale too. The coffee drinks were unique (cardamom latte) and well done with flavorful espresso. The bakery items were top notch! We got a croissant, banana bread, money bread, hand pie and French toast bread pudding. I couldn't pick a favorite. The croissant was perfectly buttery, flaky with a bit of tartness. The banana bread was very banana in a fresh way. Can't go wrong!

    We were in the area and wanted to stop for coffee and pastries for breakfast. The prices were up there for dry pastries that have been sitting out all morning and coffee that was very bland and even a bit bitter. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff were nice and the wall of goodies was cool to look through[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], unfortunately I would not come back here.

    Popped in for coffee and "brunch" snack. We ordered the monkey bread latte and a cold press with cardamom syrup. For food we choose the state fair themed items: dill pickle pizza focaccia and the caramel corn cake. We also ordered a ham and cheese breakfast sandwich. The cake had great flavor, good crumb, and moist. The frosting was perfect and carried the caramel popcorn flavor well. The focaccia was tasty with lots of dill, light on the pickle chunks. (You can never have enough pickle!). The sandwich was a jalapeño cheddar biscuit and had a nice kick. Not the best carrier for the sandwich but still good flavor. Sat outside and enjoyed the summer day.

    Limited parking, no seating, cordial staff. Decent assortment of coffees, other hot drinks, baked goods, including breakfast items that could be heated. I got the egg and cheese biscuit which was $10.50, and if you want ham $12.50. To heat it up only took 5mins. Biscuit was dense like a scone, and had an unnecessary flavor like a smokiness from too much black pepper. I'd give it a 2.5/5. Latte with caramel syrup (a $1 add-on) was good. Didn't really notice the caramel, but I'd still give the drink 4/5. Not too sweet or in need of additional sugars. I also got the Apple Cardamom hand pie. Tasty crust, and decent filling. If you like the typical spices of apple pie you won't find it. However, it's still a tasty treat 3/5. I've passed by many times in the past and overall I'm glad I got to check it out

    Egg. Cheese, ham biscuit breakfast sandwich and small monkey bread latte

    My bestie and I tried this spot late Sunday morning. It was a little busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute little spot, but there is no where to sit or really stand inside while waiting for your order.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's lots of merchandise to buy, but hard to look when people are standing in front of it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Personally, just not a good set up for such a small space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the egg, cheese, and ham breakfast biscuit sandwich and a small monkey bread latte. It was good, but nothing mind blowing for me. Staff were fine and polite. I thought it would helpful if the display window listed what the pasties name were, so customers know what they are looking at and to order instead of pointing. If I'm in the area again, I may stop, but I wouldn't make a special trip.

    Small and cozy space with seating outside, everyone was so polite and friendly to me which I really appreciated since I did need a moment to look over the menu. The peaches and cream danish was delicious! Not too sweet with a great balance of flavors and I can definitely tell it was baked fresh just by how flaky and soft it was. I also enjoyed the monkey bread latte. I'll definitely be back again for sure There is a free parking lot with a limited number of parking spaces in front of the shop.

So when I passed the sign here that said "Warm Scones, Great Chai", I knew I had to try it! It's located kitty-corner from Isles Bun & Coffee, so you can always pick up more pastries from there after if you're not feeling like having a scone. We were the first customers of the day, and the gentleman that opened the door for us was very friendly. I think the interior was very cute, it was very cozy and has a homey vibe, but with seating that looked like it was from a Marie Calendars or Bakers Square. It was super quiet in there, no background music. I was kind of afraid to talk and felt like I should whisper like I was in a library. I got the Uncommon Chai and a chai scone. While the scone was ok, the chai was underwhelming. It just tasted like hot milk with a sprinkle of chai flavors somewhere in there. I could barely taste any cardamom, cinnamon or clove as is common in chai. I would say this is probably a MN interpretation of chai, definitely not authentic. Kind of like my family's former Chinese restaurant in southern MN. Not authentic, but rather a Midwest version of Chinese food. The cafe is in an old house, so this place is not wheelchair accessible from what I could see.

I learned that Curioso Coffee Bar's approach…read moreto sourcing beans was shaped by the founder's time in Panama, where he roasted his own coffee using beans sourced directly from local producers and sold at his café. I know firsthand that coffee is king in Panama, so I figured anything inspired by their incredible coffee culture had to be worth trying. I visited Curioso on an early Sunday morning and immediately found it special. Not just for its coffee, but for the ambiance, service, and overall vibe. Curioso is a large, welcoming space that's part coffee bar, part brewery. I was immediately impressed by the variety of entertainment for all ages: arcade games, pool tables, dart boards, a skee-ball machine, board games, and even claw machines. Seating options are abundant, from cozy couches to tables and high-tops. There's a toddler play area and a library filled with books for all ages. The space feels family-friendly and is warm, welcoming community gathering space for all. I noticed flyers for free community events Curioso hosts, like Sunday Morning Yoga and Tuesday Trivia nights. The service was equally warm! The barista, although managing a busy Sunday morning solo, took her time to explain coffee options, highlight weekly specials with her own recommendations, and describe the pastries in partnership with Fruit & Grain and Bagels from St. Paul Bagelry. Oat milk is the standard for all their drinks! (Which I loved) We tried two speciality lattes: the "Butter Luck Next Year" (iced) and the "Blue Ribbon Peach Pie" (hot). Both were exceptional! Strong, robust, and delicious. Alongside, we also enjoyed an "Everything" handpie and a "Blueberry Lemon Curd" pop tart. Both pastries were out of this world delicious! I loooooved this pairing. I'm a sucker for savory, so the "Everything" handpie reigned supreme for me. Although I don't have a fur-baby (yet), I would like to include that Curioso is fur-friendly. I'm looking forward to returning several more times!

I ordered one of their seasonal specials--the banana cream pie latte. It was very good. The ambiance was OK. Smaller seating area and located in a strip mall. Although my drink was good it wasn't necessarily something to write home about. I might come here again if in the area and in need of a coffee, but probably not a place I will necessarily seek out.

The interior of the space is small, and fills up quickly most days, especially weekends! Staff have the conveyor belt moving and you can expect quick and efficient service! Definitely not as aesthetic of a spot as other Twin Cities coffeeshops and bakeries, but you probably aren't headed there for the decor. What the space lacks in visual appeal, it more than makes up on in taste! The Cinnamon Bun is extra large, perfectly baked with crispy exterior and chewy inside, smothered in the best frosting you've ever had! Pair it with your favorite coffee order and your morning just got a million times better! Don't hesitate to venture into their other offerings as well...the caramel roll is top notch!

I ordered the strawberry matcha, and my friend ordered the Banacha (banana matcha). Since it was so busy, we waited until we got back to the car to try them. I honestly wish I had tasted mine before leaving because, unfortunately, it was some of the worst matcha I've had around here. It was extremely watery and ended up tasting more like watered-down strawberry jam. The Banacha drink was similar -- just watery banana flavor. The employee who made our drinks was extremely kind, and I'm sure they would have remade them if I had asked. However, by the time we tried them, we were already back in the car and it was raining. The store itself is cute and has a nice atmosphere, but I'll probably take my business elsewhere in the future.

I think Caffetto kind of corners a market that no one else has by being open so late--most coffee shops are barely open past noon, and they're open until midnight! I've personally spent many a late night there finishing up work--it's a really cozy atmosphere, and the selection of pinball machines in the basement are the perfect study break activity. The staff are all great and even when there's a line, they get through it quick and are still able to offer great recommendations--while I usually prefer an iced green tea with no ice, I've tried the lattes, cold press, Thai coffee, and hot chocolate and have genuinely never had a bad drink here.

I love the coziness and the unique artwork in Caffetto. I look forward to coming back at an earlier hour to feed my addiction. But it's great to know I have a go to coffee shop for those afternoon cravings where the decaf tastes just as delightful! UPDATE- 2 hours later: there's additional seating and a pinball machine room in the basement, glad I went downstairs to the bathroom.
