    Salmon Cream Cheese Bagel

    A quaint little coffee shop! The service was great. I had the salmon bagel with cream cheese that was well balanced between cream and the salmon.

    This is my new favorite local coffee shop! The empanadas are very good. Salty, savory and crispy. My favorite is the breakfast empanada but the spicy beef is a close second. The mocha I had was also very delicious. It was rich and creamy but not overly sweet. The service is very friendly and helpful. This place is such a gem, truly a must try!

    Love the vibe in here!

    Updating to add: we have now had all the empanada flavors and more drinks, and they're all delightful. Favorite empanadas are the pineapple, spicy beef, and the breakfast. The drinks are great. I love their seasonal options, but their standard menu is solid too. I really like their house made chai tea and their horchata. I love that they do just about everything in house. Always clean, always friendly. It has quickly become our go to for drinks and a bite to eat!

    Great coffee, empanadas and service! The Horchata with espresso was so tasty! Never had that combo before and cant wait to try it again! The empanadas were great deal at 3 for $10! The spicy beef was my favorite! The place is small but cozy.

    A very cozy Costa Rican inspired coffee shop serving espresso, horchata and even empanadas! The barista was so friendly and offered suggestions and helpful tips. My Chocolate Truffle Mocha was delicious and the included truffle was an extra bonus! The place is small but had a lot of seating options! The empanadas were delicious too! Local gem definitely worth checking out!

    Love this place and such a cute little shop! Their coffee is so smooth and flavorful, and the homemade chai is amazing! It has the right amount of spice and not too sweet. The cold brew is strong in the best way, and their empanadas are a must-try. The breakfast one is my favorite. The staff are so friendly and really know their coffee.

    Empanadas are $4 but they have a combo 3 for $10 so I got 3 of each flavor, the spicy beef, pineapple, chicken and breakfast.

    Updated review: Came back a second time with a friend and I'm honestly much more impressed. My…read morefirst visit didn't totally win me over, but this time the coffee was noticeably better and the overall experience felt more worth it. The space still has a slightly weird food hall vibe (not super cozy coffee shop energy), but the drinks are hand crafted. They use local beans, have handmade syrups, and offer a fun variety of specialty drinks that feel thoughtful and well made. One of my favorite details: the plants throughout the shop have names and many are for sale, which is such a fun, quirky touch and makes the space feel more intentional and unique. Overall, I'm glad I gave it another shot, much better experience the second time and definitely a cool local spot with personality.

    Rough first impression for sure. This is one identity within a building called "Resolve Food Hall",…read morewhich is the main thing you'll notice as you approach the building. I was not sure I was even in the right place at first. Straight ahead as you enter is the coffee shop part of this place, and there is a touchscreen ordering panel but also a cashier. However, we came at 11am on a Saturday and wanted some of the brunch options. We were directed to a table in another part of the facility, given the full Curiouser menu, and abandoned for 30 minutes. No one talked to us again so we left and got brunch at another nearby establishment. I still hadn't had any coffee later that afternoon so I stopped by to try an easier scenario, and I had an excellent iced drink called Absolutely Alice. Perfect sweetness level for me; I like it sweet while still being able to get coffee flavor out of it. So I would definitely return for a coffee. The corners of the building that are meant to be associated with the coffee shop part of the business are nice; lots of plants and homey touches. But even though we did see servers taking orders at other tables, I don't think they have that down. I'd recommend coming here just for small orders at the counter.

    After filling up my tummy with pho, I walked over to my car and noticed Dunn Brothers Coffee steps…read moreaway. I didn't need a beverage, as I had my Thai bubble tea with me. However, I was intrigued to check it out, as I have never been to any Dunn Brothers Coffee place in my life. So, I put my Thai bubble tea in my car and walked over here. There was a woman in front of me placing her order. It allowed me to look at the baked goods. I felt like a dessert item. There are seats to the right of the order area where you can take a load off, sip your beverage, and indulge. There was also a cheerful red coffee grinder that looked so pretty with the sunshine spotlighting it. When it was my turn, I got a nice guy helping me out behind the counter. I had my eye on the cinnamon coffee cake, so I ordered it. He was about to enter it in the payment system when he noticed that the woman before me had her payment declined. So, I stepped away as the other woman behind the counter got the female customer to swipe her card again. Everything eventually was sorted out. It allowed me to look at all the syrup bottles available for purchase. I was excited to see sugar-free raspberry syrup. You can also get growlettes. They looked so nice. I then went to pay for my item. I used a credit card. It was straightforward and nothing was declined. Yay! I got my cinnamon coffee cake. I thanked the man and left. I had the coffee cake when I returned to my hotel room. I heated it up slightly. It looked like it was smiling back at me. OMG! It was moist and so delicious. I loved it. It was definitely worth getting. I'd love to return and get a raspberry white mocha and more baked goods. This place has dairy-free options. It's a cool place in my books. (490)

    Very friendly people with an abundance of excellent donuts! I was encouraged to see a steady stream…read moreof people going in and out as I arrived, but I did notice a family who sat and ate as well (there a few lightweight tables & chairs off to the side). I wasn't able to get a pic of the full dozen before my family tucked in, but it was a colorful and wonderful array. For me, the winners were the caramel topped cinnamon roll and the boston creme (they named it bavarian creme filled butI know what I know). The only one that didn't hit with my kids was the strawberry iced with sprinkles, but that was taste preference. I highly recommend this place to everyone looking for a local fix!

There isn't much for decor and it seemed a bit dark. There are a couple of tables, but you should plan on taking your food to go! The service was so/so. The person we talked with seemed annoyed we don't know what we wanted right away and just didn't seem like she was in a good mood.... No smiles. Not friendly. However, this place don't get its high ratings by having bad doughnuts and I can confidently say these are some of the best ones around! Apple valley is very lucky to have this place! They were warm, fresh and fluffy! They were sweet but not too crazy sweet! Seriously done VERY well! I would recommend coming in and taking them to go! There are plenty of nice parks in the area to enjoy them!
