The guy at the counter was super helpful on informing us on the specials and the other locations in MN. This location had a little counter to stand and eat your cookies if you wanted, but no seating. It was in a foodie mall with a bunch of other restaurants. Perfect stop for dessert! We got the Limoncello and Red Velvet since they were specials and not on the main menu. Oh yes.. the classic chocolate chunk is also hit. I enjoyed the Limoncello as it reminded me of the Lemonades Girl Scout cookie but better. I'm sure we will venture back here.

My total for a large iced latte ended up being over $9. I suppose this might be commonplace for pricing anymore but I don't go out to coffee shops very often. I had checked their menu on their website before going and it must be VERY out of date considering the flavored lattes on there are listed as $4.48 for a medium. I'd recommend looking at pricing on DoorDash instead if you are curious. I don't think their menu board had pricing but I could have missed it maybe??? Employees were nice and happy to help me choose the right coffee for me. Service was quick. The shop was cute but there were quite a few flies so I left pretty quickly after getting my drink.
