I tried coming here once before to work remotely but there were no open tables and that was the case again when I stopped by Friday morning so just a heads up that it's does get busy in there. Overall, It's a great neighborhood coffee shop and I'll definitely be back.

Fun time. Lots of choices for malts, shakes, and "Sprinklers"…read more We all had a small Sprinkler. Quite large for a "small". One suggestion: a mini or kids Suze sprinkler would be nice. Staff was very friendly. I/we will be back!!

I finally made it! I've been trying a few times this year and they were closed. I tried looking…read moreonline, but there were no verified hours or telephone number to call. I took a photo of the hours so they are clear. I tried the butterscotch sprinkler for my first time. I'm a huge ice cream lover and have had my fair share of ice cream. I honestly thought the soft serve was pretty bland and the same was true for the butterscotch drizzle. I thought maybe my allergies were to blame, but my partner tried it and agreed that it was very bland. I'm willing to try something different in the future to see if it was one off. I think their prices are pretty fair compared to other locations.

I really enjoyed the Tamago sandwich which is basically an egg salad croissant sandwich with a bit…read moreof a kick. I liked how the egg salad and cucumbers balanced out the butteriness and crispiness of the croissant! It was a very filling lunch. I came with my sister and we both got different teas. She enjoyed her hojicha tea with a bit of syrup added. I really liked the Po cha / Tibetan tea which was a buttery milky tea. It definitely woke me up. :) I would recommend if you are someone who likes not too sweet, nutty, and not too bitter teas. We both enjoyed the Tibetan momos -- the meat filling ones are definitely soupier which was enjoyable. The veggie dumplings tasted better with more of the chili crisp oil. The mochi ice cream most likely used the ones from MyMochi packs but the cream was nice to have and it was a fun sweet treat! Definitely would come back with family or friends when visiting the cities again. Drinks we got at the front where we ordered but they brought food for us which was nice since we decided to stay in to eat lunch. Seems like it's a nice place to study and work and they have WiFi. The place is nicely decorated with Tibetan decor and plaques talking about the history/background which was cool. There is also better lighting / lamps along the walls if you're studying and need it.

I was honestly surprised by how big this cafe is. It just keeps going! The space is cozy and…read morewelcoming with a nice mix of comfortable lounge seating and firmer tables that seem perfect if you're planning to work for a while. I also loved the individual task lights above the smaller tables. It's a small detail, but it made the space feel really thoughtful. The only downside is that there isn't much natural light, so the cafe can feel a little dark, especially toward the back. The staff was the biggest disappointment. They weren't rude, but they came across as pretty standoffish, which made the experience feel less welcoming than the space itself. I ordered the light roast coffee and, unfortunately, it was pretty terrible. That said, the menu is huge with lots of different drinks and food options, so I'm sure there's something on it that would be a much better choice. I also didn't try any of the pastries, but they looked absolutely massive and definitely caught my attention. Overall, I really wanted to like this place more. The atmosphere is great and it seems like an excellent spot to work or relax for a while, but the coffee and less than welcoming service left me a little underwhelmed. I'd be willing to give it another shot and try something different from the menu.

I'm sorry Jason. You really had my hopes up when you were talking about Betty and Earl"s biscuits…read moreon your show but you've proven to me once again that unless you were raised in the South or by a Southern transplant you don't have a clue about baking soda biscuits. A good southern biscuit is hard to find in Minnesota. In my house they are served warm. and soft, usually fresh from the oven. A dab of butter melted inside sets them off perfectly. If a restaurant in Minnesota says it has Biscuits and Gravy I can't resist trying it only to be disappointed over and over again. That being said, KFC and Hardee's both have a good biscuits. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with frozen Pillsberry Grand Buttermilk Biscuits. Not the ones that come in a tube. So why would I go to a bakery in a mall that opens at 11 to get a biscuit? I trusted Jason. He sounded so sincere. Huh! Big mistake, I should have checked out his genealogy. The actual place is in the food court in the Rosedale Mall and the sign says, "Seeet and Savory by Diane" . The first warning was seeing the biscuits on a covered cake tray like you might stack doughnuts. These people are bakers after all not cooks. So, we wait for the lady at the counter to finish helping the person in front of us and then we asked for biscuits and gravy. The lady walks over to the sign and shows us the little sticker they added that says, "Weekend's Only". I was already wondering why anyone would start serving breakfast at 11. While we were trying to figure out if that applied to every item on the board or just the biscuits and gravy another customer got in front of us. We decided to ask for biscuit and egg sandwich's and a cup of coffee. Well, they only make one craft of coffee a day and when it's out it's out. If we wanted coffee we were told we need to go to the Brew and Waffle concession a few feet away. Alright no big deal, but over there no one's behind the counter and I am baffled as to what is going on. It doesn't seem to be self serve but there is a young lady sitting at the counter eating. Finally she gets up and acknowledges me by telling me she's on break but but since I'm there, she'll help me out anyway. She made it very clear that I was inconveniencing her. Well then, put up a closed sign or a "Back at 1pm" sign. Let's just skip on to describing the biscuit sandwich or more precisely the $10 (the sign said $8 I think) biscuit sandwich. The biscuits were big and thick and yellowish in color. I wondered if they added cornmeal to the flour. They had a gritty texture but not as gritty as cornbread. Ok, next time we'll try Betty and Earl's Minneapolis location. And Jason, spend a weekend south of the Mason-Dixon line and learn a little more about biscuits. Damn! I'm so sorry! I forgot to take pictures.

I've had two meals from Betty and Earl's and both are meals I would order again…read more While the plague perpetuates I am only getting curbside takeout, and their system for that works just fine. Ordering from the website is easy; you can opt for curbside delivery, and once your order goes through you get an email with instructions to call them when you arrive. There is a handy little parking circle by the main entrance to Potluck; that area gets plenty of traffic but your call with a friendly B&E's person will ensure that they find your car among the group. I got the biscuits with sausage gravy the first time and the pulled pork open-face biscuit thingie the second. Both were really good. The sausage gravy was a great, meaty brunch item, and the pulled pork was really delicious. Having piles of shredded BBQ pork on top of those thick, freshly-made biscuits was a unique experience. As long as you don't mind getting your fingers a little messy - and if you're eating pulled pork then honestly what do you expect - you just form a pile on one of the biscuits and hold it by the biscuit as you snack it down. There will be leftover meat that you can eat with a fork. I got yummy fresh cookies both times as well, and ended up full and satisfied. One issue I have with the website is that there isn't a description of the entrees, so you don't necessarily know what will come on them and there's no option to request, for instance, "hold the pickles". But that's about it; I really like the food I've gotten here and will keep it coming.

I'm so happy that we've finally got a locally-run coffee shop for the neighborhood! Karol Coffee…read morejust celebrated their one-year anniversary this spring, and they've established themselves so well. Their staff are so kind and welcoming, and their drinks high-quality with fresh beans. My parents say they're so spoiled on Karol's excellent drip coffee, they can no longer drink Starbucks and Caribou brews. I'm a latte-lover and love to see what their specials are. Current fav is the Girl Scout caramel delight-inspired. They get very creative with their flavors, such as their Garden Cookie Latte made with a rosemary sea salt and mocha syrup. This shop is also very kid-friendly, with a play area inside and outside. Fun Fact: Named after Karol Józef Wojtyła, better known as Pope John Paul II. Parking: free street parking, just know it's across the street from a school, so drive slow!

The seasonal flavors are fun and unique, and they have a great depth of flavor. Pricing is fair for the ingredients and cool flavoring. Definitely need to check out their physical store one day!

They got some very very good kittehz in here. This is only the second cat cafe I've been to. I came…read morein at lunchtime on a weekday and the cat room was quite busy. It was probably overly agitating for the cats and it made me wonder if they have sufficient hiding places to get away from pokey people. I don't know how common this is, but you do have to pay to access the cat room. I paid $3.50 for 15 minutes, and I think that was kind of a "happy hour" rate, which I thought was fine. I personally wouldn't want to spend more time than that in there unless it were quieter than that lunch rush, and maybe a bit less litter-stinky. But I did get their signature coffee drink, also called The Cafe Meow, and an average muffin. I really liked that coffee and would get it again for sure; the large was $6.75 which is cheaper than average these days. There is plenty of seating outside the cat room with lots of cute decor, and even some windows into that cat room so you can spot the cuties. You should absolutely consider coming here even if you aren't ponying up for the cat room.

We originally just stopped in for a coffee but we couldn't help but reserve some time in the cat…read morelounge after seeing all the cuties in the window. The cafe side is a small but cozy and offers a couple of tables & chairs with great window views into the cat lounge. You are able to reserve one hour time slots ranging in price from $10.50 on weekdays and $15.00-$17.25 on weekends. They do offer a Happy Hour (1 - 5pm Tuesday - Thursday) where you can pay $3.50 for 15 minutes at a time! All of the cats are available for adoption and they have up to 30 cats in the lounge! We didn't get many pictures because we were lucky enough to get chosen for cuddle time by one of the cats. The staff were very welcoming and both of our coffees were delicious! We will definitely return when we have more time!

The cafe has some gluten free and vegan backed food options too. Service was fast and my iced americano was average- I prefer it a little stronger.

It's kind of a mix between monkey bread and a muffin, soft, sticky, and packed with fresh blueberries and blackberries. So good. The blueberry almond croissant is also insane. Flaky, rich, and just done perfectly. Honestly, everything here is top tier. Their quiche is also very good if you're looking for something more savory. The staff is so friendly, and even when there's a line, it moves quickly which makes it easy to grab something without waiting too long. You can also pre-order on their website, which is a great option if you want to make sure you get what you're after. Some of the best pastries you'll find at the market.
