This place is great!…read more We stopped by on a Tuesday morning, and I was surprised by how large the inside was. It's not gigantic, but I was expecting it to be much smaller based on what I had heard about the place. I ordered the Waffle Latte and absolutely loved it. I would definitely get it again. My wife ordered an iced mocha with an extra shot, and she really enjoyed hers as well. We also decided to try a white chocolate raspberry scone. My wife loved it. I thought it was good, but not quite great. We also ordered a garlic bagel with cream cheese. I really liked that and would potentially order it again, although next time I may try a plain bagel just for comparison. The staff was super nice. They genuinely seemed happy to be there, which is honestly a bit surprising these days when it comes to customer service. The positive attitude definitely added to the experience. Overall, I really don't have much negative to say. Sure, it's a little pricey, but I feel like I say that in almost every review nowadays. Food and drinks outside the house are just stupid expensive these days, so compared to other coffee shops, the pricing here felt relatively fair. Yeah, I don't know. I really don't have many complaints. Great drinks, friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere. I'm giving them 5 out of 5 stars, and I'll definitely be back.

I've seen great reviews for BlueNose Coffee so I had to check it out! They had a drive thru but I…read morewent inside to order. They have a cozy atmosphere and is a nice spot to enjoy a morning drink. I ordered a blue nose mocha and a believin' berry buzz dirty soda along with a blueberry scone. The scone was subtly sweet and pretty dense. It was a great choice of bakery item. The mocha was super sweet. It almost tasted more like a latte than a mocha. The sugary flavors drown out the espresso bitterness. I'd order something else next time since the sugar rush was a lot. Since Farmington has been known to consume the most Mountain Dew per capita in the US I ordered a Mountain Dew based dirty soda. With all the added flavors of this drink I kind of forgot it was Mountain Dew. Like everything else this was a super sugary drink but was nice to try due to the novelty of the drink.

Great coffee shop with delicious house syrups and unique drinks. Syrups are flavorful and I really…read moreenjoyed the Knockout and Rancher. The espresso flavor is strong and is balanced well with the sweet syrups. They use Tapestry Coffee beans, one of my favorites! There's a good amount of seating inside. There are also pastries, merchandise, and bags of coffee available for purchase. It's located in downtown Farmington and there are parking spots along the street right in front. Service is friendly and drinks are made quickly.

This place knows how to rip a shot and make a Cortado!!!…read more I was very impressed with this location. It might have been a little hard to find the front door....... It's definitely a mix of coffee connoisseur and I just want a black cup of coffee, place! Definitely a cute location that you could sit and drink coffee or have a meeting or have breakfast. I didn't get to have a breakfast sandwich, but I got to smile and see them and it looked amazing! Definitely will be coming back to try that. Back to the Cortado, talking to the barista I was very impressed by their knowledge and they did a great job with balancing a simple milk with espresso! Overall, if you're ever in Farmington, this is definitely where I would go!!

While I want to love Tapestry and am so glad to have any independent coffee shops around, there's a…read morefew reasons I can no longer give it five stars. They have awesome, unique drink options - especially seasonally. Some seasonal drinks and flavors nail it, but more often than not, I wouldn't know what the flavor was if I didn't order it as they just don't have enough of the flavor. My biggest complaint is cleanliness as it often looks like some deep cleaning is in order. They roast their own coffee which is awesome, though if you're a "coffee snob" like we are, we've noticed their beans are flat so we don't tend to buy them unfortunately. Service is always super friendly and I still prefer going here to a chain. They also often have tea drinks on their seasonal menu which I love that they cater to tea drinkers as well.

I was looking for a local coffee shop to start my morning and tapestry coffee was a great spot!…read moreThey had many coffee options and customizations to choose from. I ordered a couple of seasonal flavors and breakfast items to share. They had 2 sizes to choose from, a 10oz and 16oz. The 16oz has 4 shots of espresso in it so it will definitely fuel your morning. The breakfast items I purchased were a breakfast sandwich which is fully customizable and the avocado toast. The breakfast sandwich was really good but the avocado toast wasn't my favorite. I think the avocado mash was a little too bitter. Opt for a breakfast sandwich and you won't be disappointed.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the chance!…read more There is tons of free parking! This building used to serve a difference purpose and did more "business" stuff. It has not been converted and one of the new places inside is selling delicious coffee!! The space was modern and very clean! There is also a fair amount of seating here! This place has an awesome cause! They employ those that may have a harder time getting a job due to cognitive abilities. With that being said, be respectful, order a bit slower and if you need to repeat yourself, be patient! Everyone here was unbelievably sweet! The coffee was absolutely AMAZING! Starbucks has nothing on these guys! I got a blackberry vanilla latte iced with oatmilk (almond milk is the other nondairy option) IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! I want to try all of their specials now!! This is a "hidden gem" for Apple Valley! Definitely give this place a try!!

This is a must try if you are in the Rosemount area. They were super busy Saturday morning, the…read morewhole restaurant was filled when I arrived but the service was amazing! They are so quick getting the orders out I was surprised I didn't have to wait longer. Seating is limited so don't expect to have a spot when you get there unless you get lucky and someone is leaving. Empanadas are $4 but they have a combo 3 for $10 so I got 3 of each flavor, the spicy beef, pineapple, chicken and breakfast. My favorite was the pineapple and the spicy beef. They do sell a dozen empanadas frozen so I might have to do that for when I get cravings and they aren't open. I also had to try a bunch of their spring special drinks, they all sounded so tasty. I love fruity flavored drinks so I tried the white chocolate berry chai, banana berry horchata, lavender latte and a mocha. I normally don't like lavender but this one was pretty tasty with their house made lavender syrup! The rest of the drinks were really good too except a bit sweet for my taste. They do have oat milk but charged a dollar for it. Hours are limited so make sure you check before you go. Oh also bring cash if you can. They do charge extra for credit cards.

Super exciting to have a place to get real coffee in Rosemount! I had the Banana Dulce de Leche…read moreLatte from the spring seasonal menu. It's not too sweet which I enjoyed, and the flavor was more subtle. The large latte was more milk forward so you may want to add an extra shot of espresso if you prefer stronger drinks. The espresso tasted great! The empanadas were so delicious. They're baked, not fried, so the crust is softer. The breakfast and spicy beef empanadas were my favorite! The breakfast empanada was so comforting. The spicy beef empanada was incredibly flavorful but if you can only tolerate Minnesota spicy then it may be on the spicier end for you. The chicken empanada had good flavor but the chicken was a little dry. The staff were super friendly and there was plenty of seating available.

I was absolutely thrilled when I discovered Café de Paris in Apple Valley. It's surprisingly…read moredifficult to find a truly high-quality bakery around here, and after one too many supermarket "French" baguettes and bake-at-home loaves, this place was exactly what I'd been looking for. The bread is fantastic--crusty, fresh, and authentically French. They also have an incredible selection of beautiful pastries, cakes, and other classic French treats that look like they came straight out of a Parisian pâtisserie. And the coffee is absolutely exquisite. One thing that always makes me smile is that while the pastries look and taste authentically French, they're definitely American-sized! They're enormous. If you're hungry, you're in for a treat. More often than not, I'll enjoy half of one there with a coffee and take the rest home in a box for later. It's a wonderful little café with a relaxed atmosphere and a great place to sit and unwind. If you're in the Apple Valley area and looking for something a little different--something with a genuine European feel--I can't recommend Café de Paris highly enough. I'll definitely keep coming back.

Honestly, I didn't think the place would live up to what I had seen ahead of time. The croissants…read morewere fantastic! I only stopped at the counter, checked out the offerings, and picked up a few things to go. The place was nice and charming but the seating didn't look too comfortable. Listen, it's not about the chairs. This is a gem of a cafe with excellent baked goodies and desserts. Indulge and enjoy!

Updated review: Came back a second time with a friend and I'm honestly much more impressed. My…read morefirst visit didn't totally win me over, but this time the coffee was noticeably better and the overall experience felt more worth it. The space still has a slightly weird food hall vibe (not super cozy coffee shop energy), but the drinks are hand crafted. They use local beans, have handmade syrups, and offer a fun variety of specialty drinks that feel thoughtful and well made. One of my favorite details: the plants throughout the shop have names and many are for sale, which is such a fun, quirky touch and makes the space feel more intentional and unique. Overall, I'm glad I gave it another shot, much better experience the second time and definitely a cool local spot with personality.

Rough first impression for sure. This is one identity within a building called "Resolve Food Hall",…read morewhich is the main thing you'll notice as you approach the building. I was not sure I was even in the right place at first. Straight ahead as you enter is the coffee shop part of this place, and there is a touchscreen ordering panel but also a cashier. However, we came at 11am on a Saturday and wanted some of the brunch options. We were directed to a table in another part of the facility, given the full Curiouser menu, and abandoned for 30 minutes. No one talked to us again so we left and got brunch at another nearby establishment. I still hadn't had any coffee later that afternoon so I stopped by to try an easier scenario, and I had an excellent iced drink called Absolutely Alice. Perfect sweetness level for me; I like it sweet while still being able to get coffee flavor out of it. So I would definitely return for a coffee. The corners of the building that are meant to be associated with the coffee shop part of the business are nice; lots of plants and homey touches. But even though we did see servers taking orders at other tables, I don't think they have that down. I'd recommend coming here just for small orders at the counter.

Walking in, it was very warmly designed and had plenty of space and seating options from solo or group settings. There's some outlet options around as needed as well. The menu was around the top front counter with baked goods for viewing. I wanted to try their signature drink Arise. The staff was welcoming and assisted promptly and explained to me that it was like a latte with cinnamon swirl syrup which sounded great to me. It's definitely a nice spot to stop by if you're in the area!

Service leaves a lot to be desired! I was interested in learning a bit more about the flavors and…read morerecommendations the baker/cashier was not interested in assisting much. I did end up getting the wedding cake cupcake. It was okay. The cupcake itself is a bit dry and the frosting is not sweet (the baker did warn me). I quite enjoyed the lemon filling but don't know if I'd be returning due to the flavor. They do offer treats for dogs so that's a win! They also have macaroons and non cupcake treats. It is very quiet and clean inside, great for an intimate conversation or study session. Glad I was finally able to try this place!

The matcha is also amazing and made authentically, which you can really taste in the quality. They clearly take a lot of pride in how their drinks are prepared.

You can sit at traditional tea tables on tatami mats, shoes off, which adds to the whole experience and makes it feel very intentional and relaxing. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They also have a wonderful selection of loose leaf teas, kettles, mugs, and other tea accessories for sale. If you love tea, this place is absolutely worth visiting. One of the most unique and thoughtfully run tea shops in the area.
