So happy to have another coffee option in Cottage Grove…read more This is a walk-up trailer at the back end of the Cub parking lot. They do have an inline order option as well. Staff are alwats friendly and drinks are delicious. My favorites are anything with the banana milk. I would note that the drinks are a little sweet, so if that's not your thing, try an unsweetened or ask for half shots of flavor. Wait times can be a little long, which us the only reason I took off a star.

The staff is young but very accommodating and helpful in making the drink you really want. Supperrrrr cozy but many seating options for a coffee shop of its size. The menu is pretty much the regular cafe menu PLUS you can add or mix anything, making it versatile and easy to configure. I got the lemonade with peach syrup. It sort of flopped, the lemonade was fresh and it tasted like I bit into a lemon and suffered the consequences. The peach was absent, just sour punch so I sipped it over the course of my whole day!!! My partner got the Miel with caramel, which was delicious and heavier on the coffee side. The place is super cute and quaint. I used to study here with my friend and it's the perfect spot to get away from MN and enjoy some quiet time in a cozy place.

Really fun coffee shop. Really liked the little free library, good seating and was comfortably…read morebusy. All of my friends and I liked our drinks, I was very happy they had a dark roast on drip. Friend had a breakfast sandwich and I as well, loved the arugula on it and the overall flavor, wish it had a little kick to it in spice but feel like I could have just asked. Cinnamon roll was also very fun. One suggestion for consideration do the management staff is if it's going to be a place with books, maybe some nice lamps for more ambient lighting rather than the harsh fluorescents? Either way I am happy to have a new coffee shop to look forward to visiting when I am in the area!

I still love this place- the iced americano is delicious and today I was able to find a book from…read moremy fav author that I haven't read yet! 2 out of the 3 times I have been here the kitchen was smoky from the oven.

The cutest coffee shop in downtown Hastings, MN *Decked out with Christmas Decor during the…read moreholidays* Tons of seating- nice place to study, hang with family and friends and games to play for a little fun Ordered: *Iced gingerbread latte (with oat milk) in the cutest gingerbread glass! The coffee was included in the glass- so worth it! Comes with cover and straw (the cover wouldn't close straight but I will probably use it without the cover so it didn't matter for me) *Tangy Turkey Toastie- Sourdough bun panini pressed with cream cheese, turkey, raspberry jam and provolone cheese *Would order again- perfect mix! Hours: Mondays: Closed Tuesdays- Fridays: 7am-3pm Saturdays: 8am-3pm Sundays: 8am-1pm Food: GF/DF & Vegan options available Breakfast & Lunch Toasties - served all day long (a panini pressed sourdough bun / GF buns also available) Staff were super friendly! Highly recommend checking out Froth and Cork! So many cute shops close by- great in the summer to make a day out of it!

Rustic, old house vibe with quaint places to sit around every corner…read more They offer a fantastic breakfast menu featuring a variety of fresh bakery items and made-to-order classic options like breakfast sandwiches. I got a cappuccino that was good but not great. They use peace coffee.... I'm a fan but with all of these little places having their own special grinds and single origin it's hard to be above average when they use mass produced coffee. Overall the place is great to bring kids or to meet a few friends. The ambience is a big selling point. Not a bad place in downtown Hastings !

I am not sure how the 'geek' name fits in as we would enter through a book store to an otherwise well kept neat coffee shop with a large seating area inside. Let's give them credit for a creative name that's creates discussion. A wall board menu of the usual drink choices, a pastry case and a small selection of wrap sandwiches premade, but very fresh. I had the only choice with meat which was turkey pesto. There are a few tables outside for quiet contemplation.

The baristas are always so quick and friendly. I always use the drive through, any time there is a line the employees get through the orders quickly and accurately. For food, the bacon egg bites and banana bread are my favorites. Their protein boxes are something to look into for a lunch option. Otherwise their grilled cheese is great too! I've only been inside to order a couple of times and the service is just as good as the drive through. Very clean and quiet place to stop by any time during the day.

If I describe the environment as being half of the lobby of a new suburban apartment complex, that doesn't do justice to how pleasant it is. Homey, quiet, clean, intentionally designed. When the apartment people give tours to prospective tenants, my confident assumption is that they DEFINITELY show off this area and it probably convinces people to move to this building. The baristas are serious coffee nerds, rightly proud of their single-origin sourcing from farms in Honduras, Costa Rica, and Colombia. My iced vanilla latte tasted great; the mild sweetness from their house-made vanilla was perfect. My friend got a pourover that he loved; he stayed there for about an hour doing some work and was impressed by how long that container stayed warm. If you're arriving by car, there is street parking around the building, but there is also the option of going into the building's garage. They confirmed to me that the ground-level parking spaces are available to customers during their open hours. Also, this is right across the street from the Helmo Ave. station on the new Gold Line. If you're taking that route before 4pm, consider hopping off for one of their impressive coffees!
