    I have come to this shopping center several times on my way to Joe Overstreet's (for wildlife photography) and never noticed this place, today, thanks to Yelp I found it, Kali made a delicious cappuccino and suggested the three meat sandwich, everything was delightful. The ambience of this place it very modern and layback, a few people talking softly, others in their laptops or phones but all and all super quiet, clean and relaxing. Next time in the area I'll make sure to pay a visit to Kali (the youngster behind the counter...!

    We arrived around 6 PM and the place was practically empty, with only two customers having coffee. We purchased our drinks and sat down as a family. My child was quietly sitting in his stroller watching cartoons on a phone at a low volume. Even so, a relative of the owner (not a customer) approached us and asked us to turn the volume down because there were "customers" who were bothered by it. This was despite the fact that no actual customer complained directly, and the only other two people in the shop were having conversations at a similar or even louder volume than the child's device. We still complied and lowered the volume without any issue. The cashier who served us was very kind and polite throughout the transaction, which was one of the few positive parts of the experience. Another very concerning issue was the presence of a large number of flies inside the shop, especially around the pastry display. It was obvious and constant. My husband respectfully informed an employee about it, explaining that it could become a serious health concern if an inspection were to happen, and suggested they address the issue. The employee responded politely and took action. However, what was extremely concerning is that afterward, the owner's relative served cinnamon rolls to other customers that had been exposed to flies landing on them, which we found completely unacceptable from a food safety and hygiene standpoint. It is also important to mention that the owner was present during our visit. However, she did not acknowledge us at any point, not even a basic greeting such as "good afternoon," even though she walked directly past our table. That lack of basic courtesy was noticeable. Additionally, the overall cleanliness of the establishment was very disappointing. The floors were dirty, and the restroom was in truly unacceptable condition, appearing unsanitary and poorly maintained. In general, while the cashier was kind and professional, other interactions came directly from the owner and a male family member, who were the ones showing an unfriendly and unwelcoming attitude throughout the visit. The atmosphere of the coffee shop also strongly contrasts with its spiritual décor and religious messages displayed throughout the space, which makes the overall experience feel even more inconsistent with the values it appears to promote. Overall, it was an uncomfortable, unsanitary, and disappointing experience that did not make us feel welcome as a family.

    So yummy! I live nearby and have passed this place a million times and my family and I decided to give it a try. I'm so happy we did. It's seems like a place you would not find in Saint Cloud but so happy I have! The food was amazing , you can order at the front or off your phone with a QR code and they'll call out your name when ready. Indoors has Instagram feels. We enjoyed everything we ate , no complaints!

    Sweetened Matcha Tea (iced)

    Stopped by Vanessa's Coffee Shop in St. Cloud on our way down from a weekend in Orlando, and it was such a pleasant surprise. There is plenty of free parking out front, which was great. Inside, it was clean and has a cozy, modest setup. I can see it getting full during the weekend rush, but it wasn't overly crowded when we visited around 10:15am on a Sunday. The bathroom is towards the back and was kept very clean. The staff were very friendly and welcoming! We ordered a *Mallorca sandwich with bacon, cheddar, and an over-medium egg*-- and wow! The Mallorca bread was soft, fresh, and topped with powdered sugar, just like you'd expect from a panadería on the island of Puerto Rico. My husband, who's Puerto Rican, and I both agreed that it was as authentic as you can get without actually being there. *5 Stars!! I ordered an iced matcha tea, which I was made aware after trying it that the power comes sweetened. I missed that detail when ordering as I prefer mine unsweetened, but that's on me. Would love to see an unsweetened matcha option in the future. Overall, a great breakfast/brunch/coffee spot with strong menu offerings, authentic touches, and a clean, welcoming environment. Next time I'm in the area, I'll be back for another Mallorca, and looking forward to trying others as well.

    We were visiting our daughter in Florida and she brought us here to have coffee. It was very good coffee, and we really appreciated the ambience. The service was efficient and very friendly. The seating was comfortable. Over all we decided we would come back here when we visit again:)

    The food was really great! We got a pastrami sandwich and the berry french toast. My girlfriend is a french toast enthusiast and this has been her favorite ever, which is an achievement. The sandwich was really delicious, especially when you layer the potato chips inside the sandwich. The workers were also very kind and helpful when I requested to make my iced coquito latte a little sweeter as I don't like the taste of coffee too much. It didn't really taste too much like coquito, but I could taste the cinnamon! Still a really good latte. Would definitely come back again when we have the finances to afford it because this place is expensive!! A large drink is $9 and the french toast was around $20. Though, the place does seem a little upscale.

    There's just something about this place, good coffee, good breakfast, good energy. My favorite little escape.

    Service was outstanding and fast in a well ambience coffee shop and more. We all loved our selections. Not five because they made two errors with my Cuban Sandwich: I asked for no pickles and mayo .... Other than that it was delicious.

    Beautiful cafe, bible verses on the walls and cups, fun twinkle lights & creative drinks. Great food options and quick service. I've been to their other location but this was in literally the same thing lol

    Plain pancakes (I already ate one)

    The pancakes are amazing, I also ordered a coconut latte that was excellent. We stopped by on our trip in the area and now wish this was in Jacksonville as I would certainly be a regular here. The interior is nice and inviting and the staff are friendly and nice.

    We have heard wonderful things about Vanessa's so we decided to give it a try. Such a great find, and a lovely local coffee shop! They offered a large variety of breakfast and brunch foods, along with different kinds of coffees and drinks! Something neat was their seasonal offerings, with right now having a selection of pumpkin brunch and coffee items! The staff was very friendly and was able to answer any questions we may have had. You could order at the counter or through the QR code at the table. There was a lot of seating both indoor and outdoor too. Overall we will definitely be coming back to try more of what they have to offer!

    Latte

    Food, service, and vibe were all great! We will definitely return and try other options as everything looked good.

    Vanessa's started off as such a cute and perfect little coffee shop. Everything was great from service to the different craft coffees. The food was excellent! Used to be one of my go to places to study and get my caffeine kick. The staff is very polite and the aesthetics of the place are lovely. As time has passed I have noticed ordering online and in person has become harder and harder. Online orders do not get made until you tell them you are there for your order, leaving you to wait a long time which defeats the purpose of ordering ahead. I understand the point is freshness but there needs to be a better system. I do think they've grown more than they have the staff and the location for it. Although it has always been pricey I never had an issue paying for it as the food was great quality but with these wait times everything gets affected.

My husband and I were running errands and we both wanted a burger. My husband had been before but I hadn't and he suggested Mutts. I told him I wanted to dine in, and not drive through and he told me there was an indoor dining area. Well, we went inside to a small but good sized eating area with trivia questions on the table. Bonus! The trivia questions were fun to play while we waited. The order taker was very nice and so was the server. It was noticeable that a burger joint had service with a smile. That is rare now! A plus! The burgers were delicious. None of that smash burger business here, just hand made (open kitchen) burgers that were juicy, and delicious. We had onion rings and fries and they were delicious as well. We went for the trifecta and had milkshakes too-also fabulous! I really think that these burgers along with the friendly service are worth a drive if you don't live near St.Cloud.

Great food I love the greasy burgers, but I don't love the price if they had better operation times where they can make up for their pricing I think would benefit them. I've never spent so much on just a drink alone at a restaurant, but I will tell you, the owners are quite friendly and very lovable. I don't have a problem supporting a small town business, but it's not a place that I'm gonna go too often. I'm raking my stars off of pricing and for the last two times I've been there. It just looked very grungy. This place needs a little lift me up in a deep cleaning.

The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5--the dishes could've used a bit more seasoning. Everything was good, just slightly on the mild/bland side. Not a deal breaker, but noticeable. That said, we enjoyed it and will definitely be back to give it another try.

We happen to stumble upon Jimmy Bears BBQ and are glad we had the opportunity to try it!

During our time there we never saw anyone else come in either. We ordered our food to-go, and it came out relatively quickly! We felt the price was on par with similar restaurants, and very fair for the amount of food you received The food itself was overall decent. There were some items that we really enjoyed, like the Mac and cheese, three blind mice sandwich, and the Alabama white sauce!! Other items like the green beans or pulled brisket left us wanting more. The green beans did not taste fresh, and the brisket lacked seasoning/flavor. There were also a lot of fried elements like the tater tots, onion rings or even the mozzarella sticks on the three blind mice sandwich, which we feel like were all decent and not too greasy, but also know those are easy things to make regardless of where you're at! The staff was very friendly at the restaurant! They were available if we had questions, and got our food out quickly to us. The ambiance of the restaurant was a little out of date and worn. You could definitely tell this establishment/building has been here for awhile with little to no updates over the years. A few updates to the space I think would really transform it and make it look like it belongs in 2023 not 1993. We do see ourselves coming back in the future, as we saw a few other menu items we are curious about trying!
