I chose lemonade with raspberry flavoring. It was a perfect refresher to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the beautiful afternoon. I also could not resist the salt caramel chip cookie. How counter productive to eat calories why I'm trying to reduce them by exercising but oooo was it good! Great service. Cozy inside. Great stop.

We got The Gambler which was a delicious butterscotch espresso drink. Just the right amount of sweetness. We also tried The Rancher which had a nice balance of pistachio and white chocolate. We also got the breakfast sandwich. It was a nice size and I loved how customizable it was. The place is smaller and doesn't look like much from the outside but it makes up for it in delicious drinks!

This new location is pretty nice. We've been to their Downtown Lakeville location a few times. Part…read moreof me is sad that Donut Star is gone. That said, their coffee is great. I definitely prefer it over Starbucks or Caribou. My Chocolate Almond Latte was delicious. We also had a Cinnamon Roll and an Almond Croissant, and both were absolutely delicious. We will likely be back. There are a few things I wish were different. They don't open until 7 a.m., even during the week, which is really challenging with work schedules. We likely won't be able to come here on a weekday unless we randomly have the day off. In my opinion, 7 a.m. is just too late for a coffee shop to open during the work week. We will have to go to different coffee shops during the week when we want to splurge. I also wish this new location had a few more food options. The menu is in a strange location on the side wall instead of behind the main counter. You'll understand what I mean when you visit. Maybe I missed some of the breakfast options, but I don't remember seeing many. It's possible I overlooked them because of where the menu is located. I also expected there to be a few more donut options since this location replaced Donut Star. Price wise, it isn't cheap, but the coffee is good enough to justify most of the prices, in my opinion. Overall, I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. I mainly wish they opened a little earlier, along with a few other improvements noted above. Still, this is a nice new coffee shop for the area, and I would go back. I just probably won't be able to visit during the week.

I had the banana split and orange dreamsicle lattes and they were delicious! The lattes are more milk-forward and not too sweet so if you like a stronger espresso flavor I would add an additional shot of espresso. Service is friendly. There's a variety of merch and beans available for purchase in-store, including 2lb bags of their popular blends. My favorite blend is the Abstract blend -- it's SO good!

Getaway has become one of my favorite destination cafés in Minnesota and is almost always on the…read moreshort list when I'm trying to decide what to do for a few hours. Whether it's an early morning motorcycle ride for coffee or an evening trip for cocktails, food trucks, and live music, it always feels worth the ride. The café was founded by riders and embraces an "All Wheels Welcome" philosophy, which is part of what makes it such a fun place to visit. The space itself is beautiful, the drinks are consistently great, and the atmosphere strikes a nice balance between being a community gathering spot and a place to relax. What really stands out, though, is the ownership. They genuinely care about building community, and it shows in everything from the events they host to the welcoming environment they've created. My only minor criticism is that, despite the name, I sometimes wish it leaned a little harder into the motorcycle and car culture side of things. It feels like it's evolved into more of a general destination café than a true motor-focused hangout. That said, it's a very small complaint, and the fact that such a wide variety of people enjoy the space is probably part of its success. If you're looking for a great excuse to get out of the Twin Cities, grab a coffee, meet up with friends, or just enjoy a scenic ride, I'd absolutely recommend checking out Getaway Motor Cafe.

The matcha I got was delicious and he loved his maple coffee, it was a bit expensive at nearly $7 for a 10 oz matcha though. The barista was friendly and our drinks came out quickly though!

Overall a great experience though!

This place is great!…read more We stopped by on a Tuesday morning, and I was surprised by how large the inside was. It's not gigantic, but I was expecting it to be much smaller based on what I had heard about the place. I ordered the Waffle Latte and absolutely loved it. I would definitely get it again. My wife ordered an iced mocha with an extra shot, and she really enjoyed hers as well. We also decided to try a white chocolate raspberry scone. My wife loved it. I thought it was good, but not quite great. We also ordered a garlic bagel with cream cheese. I really liked that and would potentially order it again, although next time I may try a plain bagel just for comparison. The staff was super nice. They genuinely seemed happy to be there, which is honestly a bit surprising these days when it comes to customer service. The positive attitude definitely added to the experience. Overall, I really don't have much negative to say. Sure, it's a little pricey, but I feel like I say that in almost every review nowadays. Food and drinks outside the house are just stupid expensive these days, so compared to other coffee shops, the pricing here felt relatively fair. Yeah, I don't know. I really don't have many complaints. Great drinks, friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere. I'm giving them 5 out of 5 stars, and I'll definitely be back.

I've seen great reviews for BlueNose Coffee so I had to check it out! They had a drive thru but I…read morewent inside to order. They have a cozy atmosphere and is a nice spot to enjoy a morning drink. I ordered a blue nose mocha and a believin' berry buzz dirty soda along with a blueberry scone. The scone was subtly sweet and pretty dense. It was a great choice of bakery item. The mocha was super sweet. It almost tasted more like a latte than a mocha. The sugary flavors drown out the espresso bitterness. I'd order something else next time since the sugar rush was a lot. Since Farmington has been known to consume the most Mountain Dew per capita in the US I ordered a Mountain Dew based dirty soda. With all the added flavors of this drink I kind of forgot it was Mountain Dew. Like everything else this was a super sugary drink but was nice to try due to the novelty of the drink.

But they are patient and honest when you ask questions. And they offer alternative milks of almond (better good non sweetener vanilla), oat milk (Oatly), and a coconut milk. The flavors and alternative milks are $0.50 each which is super cheap. I got a dark chocolate mocha with pumpkin and oat milk in decaf. It was good. I would come back but be better prepared though the line was long so I had time to think about it once we took a picture of the flavors. But now you know the alternative milks to make the perfect decision. Enjoy! Tip if you get a mocha with alternative milk they do a dairy whip on top so make sure to ask for it to be removed.
