We ordered gochujang latte and lychee matcha. Both are interesting and good. Sandwich are filling and sizable. Wish they have stocked with silverware as the sandwich could get messy.

That said, I think the food menu has room for improvement. The sandwiches tend to be a bit dry and could use more flavor. For example, the bacon on the BLT tastes like pre-cooked grocery store bacon and is never heated when I receive it. I'd also love to see more bread options, especially sourdough. Overall, the coffee and customer service keep me coming back, but some enhancements to the food offerings would make the experience even better.

We went on a Sunday around 1:00pm. There is ample parking, as it is in the front of a sort of strip…read moremall. It says drive thru, but there was nobody serving at the drive thru when we tried to go there. There is some indoor seating, maybe 10 tables or so. It was not super busy when we were there, but it was after what I would consider the Sunday rush. Service was quick and polite. Iced Cold press with heavy cream (you could also have it with half and half) - very good, good coffee flavor Hot Vanilla latte - they only had three sugar-free options, caramel, raspberry, and one other I can't remember, so I went with regular Vanilla. It was very good. The first couple of sips were very sweet, I think because they didn't mix it well so all of the vanilla syrup was sitting on top. Once I got it mixed in it was much better. The temperature was good, it was quite hot, but not so much that it burned my mouth. Overall a good experience, we will be back. The only reason for four stars instead of five is because the drive thru wasn't open.

Amazing selection of pastry and coffee drinks…read more I ordered several items to try them out - pistachio latte and Iced Qamaria Latte - I enjoyed both but really like the qamaria latte its was light and chai like. ANother one is pistachio latte. its more heavy. but also very tastey. i am too full from next door but i would like the pistachio one without a full belly. I tried halal sausage pie - I honestly can't tell the difference and thought it tastes like a hotdog. Also ordered honeycomb bread, tiramisu, and Biscoff milk cake. All very good.

Had a lovely visit while relaxing enjoying Yemeni Coffee. They have locations in Eden Prairie St. Paul and we had the pleasure of visiting their great staff and cozy cafe inBlaine. Iced and Hot Pistachio Lattes Pistachio Baklava Biscoff Milk Cake I'm a pistachio fan so I loved my iced latte and baklava. I will be back in the future for both. I'd definitely recommend checking them out sometime! For more awesome food spots check out the account mallorymademetryitmn on Instagram!

They serve Somali tea, coffee, and a variety of sweets and treats. Service was helpful at the counter, but not especially quick for food/drink service. They do crepes specifically, so we had to get one! It came rolled up which was delish, with cookie butter and Biscoff cookie topping. We got the Somali tea and coffee, and it was delish but quite sweet - I'll ask for less sugar next time. The star was the Nafaqo: hard boiled egg inside a seasoned potato patty - our first time trying it and so good! Hearty and filling.

I ordered a strawberry matcha which was good. They do use a thicker strawberry jam but I don't mind it personally. My mom got the Somali coffee and enjoyed it. Service was a bit slow, we waited a little over 15 minutes for our drinks. It's pretty cozy, there were a bit of people there working, meeting or just enjoying coffee. Parking in this area is interesting. If you can't find a street spot (which is likely) there a ramp across the street (about 1/2 block walk).

However, the staff member at the sweets counter was a bit rude when I asked about the desserts, especially since there were no descriptions provided. The kanafeh also looked old and overly oily, as if it had been sitting out for a long time. Also, It was also a bit odd that, despite being a grocery store concept, they asked for a tip at checkout.

Parking available in the shared business lot out front, but it was VERY busy on this Sunday afternoon! The interior of this spot is one for the senses: colorful walls, random knick knacks, plants, and plenty of coffee-sipping patrons. While it was a LOT of stimulation, I loved every bit of it. I was so happy to see so much support for this local spot! The servers were so friendly and helpful during my order and pick up process! Incredibly LGBTQ+ friendly. I HAD to go with the Go Bananas option on my iced latte, their proprietary blend of banana, vanilla, and hazelnut that leaves you with the most beautiful flavor! I also appreciated that they have a layered iced latte option...with the shot on top! This spot definitely is one of my favorite hidden gems from the last few years, and might crack into the top five coffee spots in the Cities for me! A MUST VISIT!

When I went it was decorated in Christmas decor with the theme of monkeys lol. The drinks were reasonably priced and had everything from simple lattes and cappuccinos to barista favorites which are more so speciality coffee drinks. I recommend checking those drinks out if you want to try something different. The seating area isn't typical cafe style. It's mainly couches, chairs and tables as if you're sitting in a house or lounge. Staff was fun and energetic with good recommendations. The most fascinating part is that there's an antique market connected to the coffee shop that you can walk right into. The store seems endless. So much to look at. Probably the biggest antique store I've seen locally. Highly recommend.

Especially since the cafe is music themed with cute coasters inspired by vinyls and the cafe itself is the ambiance of an old school studio. Service is relaxed and friendly and the drinks came out nice and pretty. My Brown Sugar Banana Latte which I got cold tasted very faintly of banana and more of brown sugar which was a little disappointing, but my partner's sweet potato latte was very enjoyable served hot. Both drinks were on the sweeter side which is fine but not my preference. Would I go back?
