The sauce/vinaigrette were balanced perfectly with the meat and veggies. We did not get the sandwich but they make them with fresh bread and look tasty. The boba tea and matcha were exactly what you want to pair with the food. They have an abundance of pastries to choose from and we went with the coconut ube croissants. It was a perfect way to wrap up the meal. It was packed inside but we were able to find seating. There is a bar area (no bartender) and two seating areas. You order on a tablet and pickup at the front counter. We will be back to try more soon!

Our team from work was in Roseville and we decided to hit Mi Sant for lunch, as someone on our team…read morehad been their before and loved it. He was right! The wait was awhile, because it was so busy on a Tuesday, but it was worth it. We got a table that sat seven and I ordered the Mi Sant special which had two types of pork on it and some eggs. The crust was crunchy on the outside and the soft chew of the baguette on the inside. The meat was perfect and had a perfect tang to it to mix with the vegetables on the sandwich. The fried egg was a great touch. Someone on the team ordered the dessert croissant with chocolate in it. It was one on best best desserts I have ever had. It had some kind of crystallized sugar inside that melted in my mouth. Delectable. The place seats a lot and has a variety of goods to purchase. No fountain drinks, but they did have free water. Great place!

The Barnes & Nobles in the very vacant Har Mar Mall.. stopped in a couple of days ago because I…read morestopped in to Har Mar Mall to go to Marshalls which is also one of the tenants in this vacant Mall to do a return from another Marshalls since I happen to be in Roseville. After the depressing visit to the rather empty Marshalls store, I decided to stop in to Barnes & Nobles, the other open tenant. I love Barnes & Nobles because it always cheer me up with all the colorful books and a Starbucks! But not here. I walked into to the coffee shop and I was rather disappointed as all the pastries and coffee cakes were lacking... I decided to just order iced tea. Then I found it annoying that the barista being preoccupied with talking on the walkie to security about a shoplifter than making my iced tea...so...as soon as I got my iced tea in hand, I left the immediately to get out of the uncomfortable space.

The cafe has to be the biggest in the state. The seating in this location is extensive. You can find a spot to sit and read or eat. Phenomenal kid space, stage and areas for kids to find the right section for them. Staff are to themselves, a great place to sit and read because no one will bother you but not a great place to ask questions. The upkeep of the location needs to be better. Carpet looks like it needs changing or cleaning, other fixtures and such seem beaten. I love coming here despite the dinginess.

Whether you're stopping in to check out a book, grab a CD or a movie, hop on a computer, book a private study room, or explore the kids' area, this place really does have it all. They have a big parking lot and I saw some bike racks as well. I love my downtown Saint Paul library but this one might just be my new favorite.

They have an outdoor space for warmer weather that you can enter from the children's area. They even have a very cool peg light up board kind of like light brite. I also couldn't believe their selection of books! Wow! For adults they even have certain popular books you can rent for a certain amount each day which entices you to bring back as soon as you're done.

Food 5/5: I got an Eggel with sausage, a piece of the chocolate chip pumpkin bread, and a seasonal latte. The bagel was hot and the bagel tasted fresh. I love their seasonal lattes and this one was well balanced and not too sweet. The pumpkin bread was very noise and delicious! Service 5/5: the cashier was helpful and very friendly and overall my food came out quickly. Depending on when you go, this place gets very busy! There is a great parking lot next door and plenty of places to sit.

This is always a busy place right across from another well-known cafe. There's a small parking lot on the side of the building, otherwise expect residential street parking. They serve one of my favorite matcha lattes called "the classic", they have a few other blends as well. Extra creamy and not too sweet. If you're craving something simple for breakfast the egg bagels hit the spot. It's nothing over the top, just plain ingredients and filling. If you order food and dine in they'll give you a number to take to your table. Great vibes, and a decent amount of seating but if you come during peak hours expect a line to the door!

From the moment I arrived staff were very friendly and the environment itself was also very welcoming. I ordered the London Frog; their speciality drink as they say, which is their spin on a London fog. It is a tea based drink with orange and espresso, and it was incredible... seriously one of the better coffee drinks I've ever ordered. 100% would order this again. I also got the pastrami sandwich with a side of chips. It was only $9 so I didn't expect too much or anything too fancy. It was a standard sandwich, toasted with a few typical toppings, but it was delicious and did the trick for a yummy lunch. I'll be coming to Walden Coffee again for sure.

But if you like a sweet flavored latte, this may not be the best place.
