There was a small line but it moved quickly. There are some tables and booths for small to medium groups, but they fill up fast! We were lucky to snag one! Staff was quick and efficient at taking our orders and getting everything out to us! Enjoyed a latte and a breakfast sandwich on this trip, and both were delicious! Super solid coffee shop for those in the area needing that caffeine boost!

If you are looking for a great iced coffee, look no further!…read more This place is located in a bustling area of St. Paul! It's street parking but it is free. Walking in, there are lots of wood accents, stools, booths and PLENTY of plug ins if you want to come here and study/get work done! The service was disappointing to be honest. This place had the vibes to have such a fun crew working and instead we barely even got 2 words for the person who rang us up. The person who made our drinks also had zero interaction. Such a missed opportunity! This is why I removed a star. The coffee: This is one of my new favorite coffees I have ever had! I got an iced whipped honey latte and it was DELICIOUS! The coffee wasn't overly bitter, had good flavor and the whipped honey was definitely a unique treat! Overall, I really did enjoy my time at this coffee shop! It definitely can get busy but don't let that deter you from getting a delicious coffee from these guys! Oh and yes, they do have some snack/lunch/bakery items here to if you get hungry!!

Their other locations include: Whittier Uptown Northeast Northloop Downtown/Emery Rochester My go to item here is: Iced Caramella with Oat Milk Their pastries are lovely as well. They pair especially well if you want slow down to really enjoy your beverage, be off the phones and just take in the coziness/hustle of a coffee shop.

The line wasn't too long when I arrived, so I didn't have to wait long to place my order or receive my drink.

I also tried the almond croissant, which was incredibly flaky on the outside and soft and buttery in the middle.

Thought I should get something, as I took up space, parking and used the wifi. I ordered the springtime lemonade that is featured with light ice, small size.

I went with the Summer Skies drink, which is a tasty, tropical delight bursting with berry flavor and coconut goodness. (Definitely recommend.) While I didn't hang out--appointment to keep, this location is clean and spacious and seemed really chill--it would be a great place to chat with friends!

My…read morefriend and I have been wanting to try Falls coffee for a while and we finally found the opportunity to check it out. We came around 1pm on a weekday and there was a bit of a wait as it was only one person making drinks and serving customers. They have an extensive menu with so many specialty drinks. It was a bit of decision fatigue before finally landing on our order. I tried the bananarama chai and my friend had their lychee matcha. The matcha almost tasted completely fruity with no actual matcha taste, to the point where it came off more like a smoothie or juice than a caffeinated drink. My chai wasn't bad, but I didn't get much of the banana flavor. The space itself has a few tables and there is free WiFi as well. They always announce new seasonal drinks so I may come back if anything catches my eye.

I do like the fact that they will use black or green tea with any of their drinks. I'm not a green tea fan, so that's an important option for me. I got a black fruit tea with pineapple and passion fruit with strawberry popping bobas. The tea had a perfect blend of flavors and the boba was cooked just right. We also got a cookies and cream smoothie with tapioca. My son said it was the best one he's had! He also got a banh mi. He said it was good, but not great. The pork could have been more flavorful and it needed more cilantro. Overall, I recommend this place! Give them a try!

The timing didn't work for me to try ice cream, so I opted for an iced latte. The coffee had a nice flavor. It looked like they had a freezer of homemade ice cream pints for purchase. I wish I would have asked to maybe take some ice cream home to eat later. I thought about getting a shake to go but there was a sign that said their shake machine was out of order. Liked the vibe.

Summary: 4.25 Service, 5.0 Coffee; 4.0 Ambiance; 3.0 Location…read more My family and I stopped in this location a couple times because it was the closest one to our AirBnB while visiting family. (Full Disclosure: Caribou Coffee remains my favorite (2nd wave) coffee chain.) The store has the northern MN cabin feel, Caribou-branded merch, and their bagged coffee, in 1 lb. packaging. The baristas were friendly and helpful, patiently explaining the differences in beverages. I ordered the hot mocha, and chose real dark chocolate for the mocha portion. In my opinion, and I'm not alone, is that Caribou Coffee serves up the best hot mocha, and as a bonus, they place a couple of chocolate-covered espresso beans on the lid. Plenty of other creative mocha options are available. Each of my family members enjoyed their beverages. No food was purchased on our visits, but the store offers a selection of bagels and sandwiches. The only downside to this store is its location in a strip mall, and it's a bit smaller in size as a result. MISC Ford Parkway was named for the Ford truck plant that used to be along this road.
