I come to Hopkins (from Florida) for work on occasion and make it a point to stop by here for…read morecoffee (and sometimes more). Slightly eclectic throw-back vibe, very friendly service, excellent espresso beverages, and a nice assortment of creative wraps and sandwiches (alongside other food items). It's a nice place to spend an hour or two catching up on emails, though it can be busy (and a bit noisy) at certain times of the day. Parking is easy, with a dedicated lot out back and free two-hour street parking out front. One random noteworthy thing is that they have the nicest take-out coffee cups I've seen anywhere (see photo), with a sturdy design that makes it a pleasure to hold while also providing extra insulation. It's a small thing, but it's actually the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Munkabeans!

We've been here several times when visiting our son and his wife. The number of choices is…read moreunbelievable. Everything is delicious - both the food and beverages. Always busy but always great service. Wish we had something like this much closer.

The Buzz is a great place to stop by for waffles and more!…read more I first discovered this cafe through a vegan friend - The Buzz has a secondary vegan waffle menu that is full of tasty options, and not limited like many breakfast places are! I have been back numerous times to try their vast menu of waffle choices and coffee. The small cafe is always bustling with visitors on the weekend - if you are looking to dine in, arrive early or be prepared to wait for a seat. I highly recommend for anyone to check out! I have never been disappointed by the quality of food and service. They even have punch cards for frequent visitors!

Enjoyed checking out at Base Camp Coffee! Cute spot, free parking…read more We tried the seasonal lemon pound cake latte and blueberry streusel cold brew. The cold brew was delicious as the blueberry cold foam really pulled the drink together. We weren't as fond of the lemon latte - I think the lemon bitters just threw us off. Service was okay! Not anything standout like the rest of the reviews have raved about, and one of our drinks took 10+ minutes longer than the other to come out. During this time, though, we enjoyed looking at the merch and the 'little free library' (that isn't so little!) in the shop :-)

Great first visit to Basecamp Coffee!…read more The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. They walked me through the menu and explained all of their coffee selections. I loved that they had hot, iced, and seasonal coffee options. There were also seasonal flight options; however, I opted for an iced latte. They also offer punch cards, which I loved and happened to luck out with--the customer before me won a free coffee and decided to gift it to the next customer, which ended up being me. The space is huge! It's shared with the brewing company next door, so both the coffee shop and brewery seating areas are open for the public to enjoy. Whether you're there to work or meet up with friends, there's plenty of space to hang out. While I waited for my coffee, I scoped out the merch area, which was filled with goodies made by local vendors. I purchased my first reusable sleeve, which turned out to be the ideal solution for my iced latte. I was immediately able to put it to the test and was happy to report that I was satisfied with both my latte and my sleeve! Looking forward to try out at coffee flight at my next visit!

There is some street parking as well as some paid ramps. I came in on a Saturday morning around 10AM. By then, it was busy, but I was able to still find a seat. The staff were kind and I think as pleased with the number of drink options as well as pastries - gluten free, too! I enjoyed a seasonal lemon bar latte (yum!) and a gluten free banana chocolate chip muffin. I will likely be back. The coffee is great, the parking situation is just a bit weird.

It's funny how poor customer service completely changes your attitude towards a business you used…read moreto enjoy. I used to live in the area and when the small coffee shop opened I was so exited to have that in our community and was happy to support them - even if some coffee beverages were top dollar. I was in the area today, and decided to stop in since I no longer live in the area and wanted to enjoy a good brew. Unfortunately, the experience I had left me leaving with a bitter taste in my mouth - and it wasn't from the coffee. I thought it goes without saying, but when a customer greets you, you should greet them back, not just stare. It would be even better if your staff would greet each customer first - make them feel welcome. Maybe I'm a millennial channeling boomer energy, but for years I'm noticing the customer service disappearing from a lot of businesses. I love that connection, but I'm understanding that some people see only a paycheck and skid by with minimal customer service and that is the new way. I don't plan to visit this establishment again. I wish the barista with star tattoos would have put in enough customer service energy that she did with her impeccable makeup.

Amazing area for the kiddos and lovely tea/lemonade :) definitely try the pastries too!!read more

I'd definitely recommend this coffee shop if you're in the area and looking for a quality cup of coffee and a quick bite. I'll be back next time I'm nearby!

I'm not wasting my weekly coffee on a Keurig or on the weirdly thick battery acid coffee that my office has, I'll just say that. After scouring around on the internet, I decided to go with Rick's Coffee Bar. Immediately, I knew if I lived here, this would probably be a place I'd frequent more often. I loved the cozy interior, the veteran friendly vibes, and of course, the drinks. I ordered the Miel, which I've seen around different coffee shops in the area, and was not disappointed. It came with two double shots, and the perfect about of honey for the sweetness. The hard part now is trying to decide if I want Rick's to be my coffee choice this week as well or to venture elsewhere.. I don't know. Hard choices, am I right?

Best Asian food in Belle Plaine!!…read more Discovered this gem a couple months back with my boyfriend who lives in town and we get it once a week now! My favorites are the barbecue pork bahn mi (it's so good) and the chicken fried rice! Ruben sandwich is also very good. Small business right in downtown and owned by a kind woman who is always there and cooks everything herself to order. Has seating room but we typically take to go. Bathroom is clean and tidy. But seriously try the bahn mi!!! It comes w the delicious pork, sliced cucumber and jalapeños, yummy garlic Mayo on a very crisp bun and a side of pickled carrot/radish that is amazing on the sandwich!! She also has siracha and chili oil self serve that are great additions.
