Home of the honey crisp apple this fun local stop is cool to check out for some fall essentials and honestly potentially good gifts in preparation for the holiday season (it becomes a holiday boutique in early to mid Nov). Ofcourse I had to get some apples and apple cider! They also had some meat, dairy and frozen baked goodies- all produced by the U of M which was cool. On the day we went there was the Northstar Donut food truck there where we got some drinks and cider donuts. The prices for some things are overpriced IMO but understandable to treat yourself from time to time too. I definitely recommend checking out their website too for hours, recipes and more.

The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and Apple house are at the top of my fall list! If you don't have time to wander the beautiful grounds of the arboretum it's still worth the drive to stop at the apple house! Check out some a variety of apples and some awesome local products. My personal favorite is the caramel apples!! Idk what they do differently but it's the best caramel apple I've had! The pumpkin patch was pretty awesome too! There were some very unique huge squash and pumpkins out there and they provide wagons if you end up with one of the bigger sized gourds. They also had super cute little decorative pumpkins! **As a bonus you'll find the North Star donut truck outside with fresh hot apple cider donuts and cider slushies!!!

I visited the Minnesota Applehouse on a Sunday afternoon and it was kind of busy but definitely came in waves! We got a parking spot easily, there is one small dirt lot. Inside the Applehouse people got backed up pretty easily because there is only one one-way lane. Inside they've got all the goods: apple cider, pickled things, jams, pumpkins, and pre-bagged apples. Not a pick your own up all of the bagged apples have been inspected and are in great condition! They also have wine-grapes which I thought was cool! Outside, they've got a grass area with pumpkins and gourds. There's also a bunch of hay bails to hang out on/kids to play on. Payment is kind of honor system, it says that there's a camera but I'm not sure there actually is haha. You can pick whatever you want outside, take it to your car, then go inside and just tell them what size you grabbed. This is Minnesota so I think this system works out for them! On my visit the North Star Donuts truck was on the grass serving apple cider donuts, hot apple cider, and apple cider slushies! COVID-19 Notes: distancing dots on the ground, staff wearing masks, and outdoor seating. They also wiped down baskets after each use

Get your apples here. The type of apples obviously varies throughout the season, probably 4 dozen altogether but usually 8 - 10 different ones available in any given week. You can find familiar, rare, and experimental apples grown by the University of Minnesota. The signs include the origins and uses for each of the apples.

I love this place! University blended apples fresh from the orchard. Get a distribution schedule and check the time of year (in Fall) for the apple variety you want. Check the store for bargains, as in Utility apples, those from the ground, with a few blemishes. Otherwise pay more, somewhat more, for 'A' rated picks. Sometime there are three price ranges. There are other items to choose from like pancake mix, jams etc., but prepare to pay premium price for these. The Applehouse is close to the Landscape Arboretum as you continue to head West. The apples are so fresh. How fresh are they? Sometimes the conveyor belt that runs right through the shop is running with cleaned apples as the employees do the sorting right next to your shopping spree.

Just down the road for the Minnesota Arboretum, this is a nice spot to stop after visiting the Arb! We picked out a few apples to eat on the way home, found a gourd I couldn't live without, bought some kick-butt pickles and pancake mix! I'm sad that the North Star Donut food truck was closed (Monday & Tuesday).

Several squash and pumpkin varieties

We stopped by the Applehouse to try out some new varieties that are being tested by the University of Minnesota. I recognized a couple of the varieties available, such as honeycrisp, cortland, and macintosh, but the rest were new to me. Some of the varieties offered don't have official names since they haven't earned their keep yet - I went with a half peck of number 1850. I especially like that each variety had a sign with their favor profile, usage, and shelf-life details. They have three classifications of apple qualities and the price point reflects the three levels of quality. The first class of apples (blemish-free) were generally $3 more than the second class apples (occasional blemishes, but nothing major), and the utility apples (the oddballs due to shape, size, bruises, etc.) were offered as a bulk bag (one peck) for an exceptionally reasonable price. I bought a peck of utility apples for baking and freezing. They also have wood-fired pizzas - according to their website the pizza oven is offered 12-6pm, Thursday-Sunday until the end of October.

Such a fun store -- fun but pricey products. Great to browse -- I wish there were samples. It's an awesome visit!

We visited for breakfast this morning, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. We…read morefound free street parking about a block away, and the short walk was well worth it. We expected it to be packed, but we were seated right away. The restaurant wasn't overly crowded or noisy, which made it easy to relax, enjoy our meal, and actually have a conversation. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and professional. I wish I had gotten her name before we left because she provided great service throughout our visit. I started with the iced lavender oat milk latte, and it was delicious. We also shared the famous monkey bread, and it definitely lives up to all the hype I've seen online! We ordered it with both the cream cheese and caramel, and it was amazing. The monkey bread was incredibly soft, fresh, and the portion was huge. I've had monkey bread at other local coffee shops before, but the texture here is on a completely different level. For breakfast, I ordered the French toast, and it was made well. I appreciated that it wasn't overloaded with whipped cream. My husband liked the crispy bacon and his chocolate chip pancakes he said they were rich and fluffy. We'll definitely be back. Everything from the food and atmosphere to the service exceeded our expectations. This place is simply too good not to return!

I was looking for a new and exciting brunch spot and for some reason we always forget that there…read moreare a ton of restaurants out in Wayzata. So I found Benedict's online and thought it looked like a good choice. The restaurant itself is really bright open and airy. Lots of natural light and high wood beams. The restaurant employs an online wait list, which I love. So you join the wait list online, it tells you how long your wait is and the you can plan your arrival to minimize your wait. I was surprised that on a Saturday, we walked right in and were seated... it wasn't all that crowded (that said, there was a big No Kings rally that day so people might have been busy). At any rate, we were greeted and seated immediately at a nice table. I enjoyed the many options on the menu and also loved that you could order a single specialty pancake if you wanted one. I ordered the classic benedict. My husband got the tot hash. We ordered a strawberry nutella pancake to share. The pancake was good, though honestly the nutella strawberry topping was a bit meh. My husband said his tot hash was not what he expected (they seem to make their own tots and then deep fry them) but he did like it. My benedict was decent, but there was way too much ham and not enough hollandaise. I hate when people are stingy with the hollandaise. Coffee was good and strong. My peach mimosa was fine but honestly pretty small -- I'd be surprised if it was 8 oz. Service was OK. Nothing super major to complain about, but my mimosa wasn't delivered until I was almost through my first cup of coffee. The waitress clearly just forgot about it. She basically said so and apologized. I noted that many tables had lovely little bottles of water for when you wanted to refill your glass, but we did not receive one. It also bothered me a bit that there was a lot of "stuff" on the floor. Trash, bits of food, etc. I know that things get really busy at brunch spots on the weekends. But someone really needed to go around with a broom or a vacuum. It's just not what I expect from a dining establishment where I'm going to drop $80 on breakfast for two.
