Not sure why this place has so many glowing food reviews--the quality just didn't match the hype…read more The ham & cheese croissant was dry and lacked the buttery, flaky richness you expect. I asked for it to be warmed from the display (which you have to request it to be warmed, not offered), but it came out barely above room temperature. The layers looked right, but the flavor simply wasn't there. The cardamom roll had the same issue--dry and overly sweet from granulated sugar, with little to no actual cardamom flavor. Even the Americano was disappointing--barely hot and lacking any real coffee depth. The atmosphere didn't help--cold and somewhat sterile, with loud acoustics that make it hard to relax. The decor also felt mismatched with the building's overall aesthetic. Staff was fine--nothing negative, but nothing that stood out beyond basic customer service. Overall, this wasn't a 5-star experience.

Wow, this cafe absolutely wins at ambiance. This is a cute-as-heck coffee and brunch place that was…read moreclearly converted from a Victorian home in Eden Prairie. I had an awesome breakfast burrito and their awesome Tirimasu Latte (iced), and they have other offerings that will lure me from St Paul for future visits. Specifically, now that I am mourning the loss of Sun Street Breads and its Thursday Night Pizza Night, I'll have to try Smith's version of that. But I'll probably come back for brunch on a weekend pretty soon and get more coffee, as well as something from their bakery. But also, yes, brunch; the eggs in my burrito were really perfect. I was there at around noon on a Sunday; peak busy times so parking was a little hairy but I eventually found a spot. I absolutely recommend coming with a bunch of pals and hanging out for a good long time, but maybe don't all drive separately if it's noon-ish on a weekend. They have a lovely patio area which was well-populated, even on this extra-sunny mid-February day. If you like adorable cafes, you will definitely love this place.

On a WFH Friday, our internet was being "upgraded" aka xfinity had a outage in the area for a…read morewhile... I immediately started looking at coffee shops that I could relocate to in order to work. I had been wanting to go try Smiths for a while but the opportunity just never presented itself despite being just down the road. I arrived and the driveway leading to the parking lot was lined with cars, but I was able to find a spot in the parking lot after a minute or so. It was definitely a full lot for sure. The location is absolutely adorable as this is a historic house. It was once a Dunn Brothers, but I do love that it is its own thing now rather than a chain. They had a outdoor patio that people were enjoying but it was a bit chilly for working and sitting outside, one person even had a dog which I LOVE! Inside the front door you are greeted with a welcoming counter that you can order. I opted to try the salted caramel iced latte. If you are consuming there (which I was) they give you a number to bring to your table and they bring the drink. I really liked this idea especially in the aspect of not having to stand and wait for a drink. The price was a bit high (7.55 for a 16 oz with $1 tip), but then again everything is getting expensive these days. I walked back to the seating area and there are essentially 3 rooms downstairs, I walked through all 3 to see where working would be ideal. I went upstairs but there was a woman in the room so I assumed it was a group that was meeting or something so I opted to not investigate further. I found seating downstairs in what felt like the quietest part, but there were a lot of people there talking and the acoustics were not exactly fantastic. I did have a call which I took via teams and air pods and discovered the sound in the room was actually really not awesome for a meeting as it was quite loud and the wifi was not strong enough to support the video on the teams call. So would I recommend working from Smith, not if you have a meeting, but if you are looking for a place that has some background noise, I guess... However this is certainly a place that is perfect for meeting someone and enjoying breakfast or coffee and I love that. I did not order food this time, but everything I saw get delivered looked delicious. I also noticed they have a pizza night on Thursday nights and immediately made a note of that for a date night with the hubby.

The interior was welcoming, with a fun, casual vibe that made it easy to settle in and enjoy being there. The layout felt open and relaxed, making it a great spot to hang out. I was really impressed by the drink offerings and, especially, the ice cream selection. As an avid Sebastian Joe's fan, I was thrilled to see they carry Sebastian Joe's ice cream flavors in addition to Kemps. It was such a fun and unexpected surprise and definitely a highlight of the visit.

The crispy hot chicken sandwich was excellent--the spicy pickle slaw really stood out. I loved the…read morebrioche bun and appreciated that the chicken was hand-breaded. The only confusing part was the ordering process. I ordered a glass of wine and wasn't told I needed to pick it up from the bar, so I expected it to come out with the food. I understand the concept, but it wasn't very clear when walking in--where to order, how food is delivered, and that drinks are picked up separately. The staff also weren't very engaging, either at the counter, when delivering food, or at the bar. A more welcoming experience might have encouraged us to order additional drinks. That said, it's a really cute spot, and I'd definitely give it another try next time I'm in town.

Their food tastes fresh, and they do a great job with their menu options. If you're going in the morning I would go earlier as it definitely fills up. They do have decaf espresso which I love as a decaf person. However today I ordered decaf and didn't get it which was disappointing especially since most people order decaf for medical or other reasons, not just for fun. The past two times I've ordered it was decaf though so hopefully just a fluke today, but I'll be more careful next time.

Be prepared to drive a few circles before finding a spot. My coffees were perfect. The banana was a pretty faint flavor but that's all it needed to complement their smooth espresso. The matcha was also super easy to drink. You have to get a croffle when you're here. I tried the biscoff croffle and it was the best croffle I have ever had. I would pass on the banh mi panini next time, I personally like banh mi bread better than what they use here, I feel like it pulls it all together. Overall would love to come back and try more drinks and croffles. The inside space is gorgeous and open!

The day I went there were so many roads blocked off so I circled around a few times trying to find parking. No parking spots marked clearly for phe coffee so I wasn't sure where to park. I did see some paid parking but wasn't sure if that was for customers. My sister and I drove separately and met up there so thankfully she was able to find a spot close by and I parked far away and waited for her to bring me my order. Glad we were able to try it though. It's nice to stop in if you are there for the farmers market or saints game but not sure if I would drive around that area just to stop there due to the parking. I will stop by next time I'm in the area for something and try their other items.

I was just not impressed and beyond disappointed. At the end she also "forgot the cash discount" which is whatever I reminded her and that was the end but for $44 for 2 entries and just water no actual drinks I was hoping to at least be served and not felt like a problem.

Service 5/5: overall the staff was efficient and friendly Ambiance 5/5: the vaulted ceilings yet cozy aesthetic makes this place very visually pleasing.

The drinks: I got an iced grandmas house with oat milk! There is no up charge for oatmilk! My wallet and stomach appreciated that! The flavor was really good! Unfortunately even with the remake, there seemed to be something off about my boyfriend's drink... I asked for them to take the vanilla out, thinking maybe be it was the syrup. But it just wasn't good. We were also hoping to get the pizza that was there but they only had slices, not a full pie. It was disappointing. Overall this is a nice coffee shop
