Pottery

We saw the movie IF and after crying at the movie I needed a coffee pick me up. The service was so friendly and very helpful. I had the lucky monkey and my husband had the nutty monkey and we split a cinnamon roll. Cute seating inside and gorgeous pottery for sale. We also bought two mugs we are using for coffee at home.

Such a quaint and local coffee place in downtown Waconia. Loved the array of coffee, latte and mocha choices. The staff were relaxed and polite. I appreciated that because we were drinking our coffee there, I was able to get a beautiful hand crafted mug. The quiche was phenomenal and was perfect size for 2 people to share.

Coffee

Best coffee shop around town! I grew up in Waconia so I remember when the downtown location was the only one! Make sure to check our their monthly specials if you want to try something new. Mocha monkey is the perfect place to get ahead on homework! Jon is also an experienced pottery maker so if you need a gift idea stop in and check out their mugs! Not a coffee drinker? They have Italian soda and you can choose any syrup to add and make it your own!

Rhesus Monkey Mocha and Zebra Mocha

Mocha Monkey is a staple of Waconia. Never disappointed with their drinks and good vibes all around. I usually go with the americano, but I switched it up and tried the Rhesus Monkey Mocha which was phenomenal. Great place to catch up with friends and family!!

16oz Lucky Monkey
Caitlyn S.

After hearing so many good things about this place, I had to stop in when I had a few minutes in the area. Now, I wish I lived closer. I got the Lucky Monkey, which is white chocolate and mint, made with oat milk. It was amazing! So creamy and delicious. The espresso was nice and smooth. Price was great. I didn't have time to sit down inside, but it was gorgeous in there, and if I were a local, I'd be there all the time.

2 warm iced mochas

The Iced Mocha I ordered was Warm. Not at all cold. Disappointing. Don't think they are very adroit @ iced coffee drinks. Location makes bank runs with children a lil more tolerable. #CheatCode bribe the kids with a Rice crispy treat lol

Hanging outside the Mocha

So another fiver for MM a refreshing surprise in downtown Waconia. I was expecting something cool as I recently saw a TV story on innovative small businesses and this place was highlighted. In a well preserved old green house there is counter seating with a window view and a few tables, but there is more seating up the wooden stair case. Check the huge wall menu which is all but a mural. A large pastry case and made to order items. It was warm, (both temperature and genial) and they own a drive through in Waconia and another shop in St. Bonifacius. Air pot coffee which I usually approach carefully but the brew was hot and fresh.

Menu of coffees and sandwiches
Paige J.

Cute local coffee shop with some pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and gelato! I love the inside and that they support local artists with their pottery as small wood tables. The jungle mocha was delicious and I also really liked their cold press coffee. Excited to return for some gelato and chill in their spacious upstairs for work!

We randomly stopped in after a visit to the cemetery. A very small space where you normally order…read morefrom a kiosk (not my favorite). Chef Pedro took our order (bonus points) and we had a lovely conversation about New Orleans. The menu here has a lot of New Orleans food intertwined. Based on where Pedro previously worked in New Orleans, he has an outstanding culinary background. I was going to order the Muffaletta, which can be served hot or cold, but they were out. When I heard why, I was impressed. In New Orleans, the gold standard of bread is Leidenheimer. Minnesota doesn't have the same bread (Trung Nam Bakery is the closest substitute). Pedro uses Leidenheimer for his Muffalettas. Pedro also makes his own olive salad. I am looking forward to trying a Muffaletta. My husband ordered the Zambon Dip and really enjoyed it. I had the Herb Brooks Focaccia. It was great. Big portions. What is really funny is I knew the North Stars as I worked at the Met Center. Fun memorabilia too. On street parking and some tables outside. What we used to call a neighborhood joint. Stop in and say hi to Pedro. Now I just wish he would make Gumbo with some okra and filé.

Great creative delicious sandwich shop in south Minneapolis. Service was ok not much interaction…read more You order on a kiosk. The place has no indoor seating and a few tables on the sidewalk. Seems like a really busy takeout spot. Order: the North Star deluxe. Delicious. Their take on a Reuben without the kraut. All the meats were delicious and distinctive in flavor. The creole mayo added that nice creaminess. The homemade pickles on the side added that little vinegar punch to cut thru the richness of the sandwich. Smoked salmon BLT. Huge potion of perfectly smoked salmon. The smoke and crunch of the bacon was a perfect pairing. This is an amazing creative surf and turf. Overall: This is a must try on your Minnesota food tour.

Customer service is amazing!! Their passion and actually…read morewanting to be there is very impressive! I do think this place is not for me. That's why I gave it a three star but I do think for people who like iced coffee this is your jam. So please try this for yourself. This is not a place to get a hot black coffee in my opinion. To defend them they have one or two drip coffees every day for a very cheap price! They did bring me fresh coffee. I was just very unimpressed. Being so close to the Starbucks I definitely should've gone to that location for a hot coffee. This place looks like they are really good if you like iced coffee and you like to add milk and sugar and flavoring I think this is the place for you. I have no problem trying the hot coffee again. It could've just been a one off, but it was fresh and it was very watery and didn't have really any flavor.:( Overall, I just feel this place is not for me so please go here if you love iced coffee and specialty drinks. I think this location is great for that. And the customer service is amazing.

The place is quite cute and looks really good and when we mobile orders it took like 2 seconds to…read moreget are drinks and the workers where really nice and made a funny joke to scoot are way to the next window which I thought was hilarious the drink I got was some blue raspberry soda that was really great and even had a sticker on top of it this place was great and I'm gonna scoot my way into giving it 5 stars .
