“The place doesn't look much from the front, but the atmosphere is actually quite nice once you walk down the hallway (passing the glass wall behind the bar) and into the main restaurant. On warmer days, the patio looks like it would be an excellent place to hang out. The main part of their menu looked like a build-it-yourself type of thing. Pick tacos, burrito, quesadilla, etc. Then you can pick your protein, style, and sauce. I ended up choosing a Burrito Bowl with Carnitas Street Style. The food tasted great. It was obviously made with fresh ingredients. I was surprised later when I looked at the menu again and saw that it cost me an extra dollar to get the Burrito Bowl, thus saving them the tortilla. I wish the waiter would have mentioned the up charge, although I probably would have gotten the bowl anyway. As I do at most Mexican restaurants -- well, all restaurants -- I got an unsweetened iced tea. Much to my surprise, they charge for tea by the glass. No refills. Again, mentioning this when ordering would have been helpful. Personally, I have trouble paying $4 for iced tea in my at Starbucks... but at least I get free refills. Here, the glasses were much smaller, and again, no refills. At least the tea here tasted good. They checked me out tableside using ApplePay, which was nice. I didn't get an itemized bill. And I'm not quite sure if they tacked on a gratuity or not. Unlike normal, they didn't turn the POS terminal around and ask me to enter a tip amount. Bottom line... not sure if I will go back or not. The food was good. So was the atmosphere. The food was reasonably priced. What may keep me away is that each tiny glass of ice tea (tiny, by my standards) is $4.“
“Great atmosphere, the happy employees with their banter behind the counter and the openness of the order area is comforting. My breakfast sandwich was quite frankly the best one I’ve ever had, worth the money. I live over 45 minutes away but I will be back just for this shop!“
“Kylie is a shining star in the world of coffee-making, and her service at Caribou Coffee is truly exceptional. From the moment I stepped into the cafe, I was greeted with a warm smile and a friendly hello from Kylie, who immediately made me feel welcome.Not only is Kylie a skilled barista who knows how to make the perfect cup of coffee, but she also takes the time to listen to her customers and make sure their orders are exactly what they want. Her attention to detail and dedication to her craft is truly impressive.But it's not just Kylie's skills as a barista that make her stand out - it's her personality and attitude. She is always cheerful, positive, and eager to help, making every visit to Caribou Coffee a delight. Her passion for coffee and commitment to customer service are truly inspiring, and it's clear that she genuinely cares about her work and the people she serves.Overall, I cannot recommend Kylie and her exceptional service at Caribou Coffee enough. If you're looking for a great cup of coffee and a warm welcome, be sure to visit this talented young lady at Caribou Coffee - you won't be disappointed!“
“I love me some good bowls of ramen whether I’m at home or at a place. This place was my first time and I really loved the atmosphere when I walked in. Lols like it would be a fun place to take a friend or four. The service was excellent: friendly, attentive and punctual.FOOD: I ordered one of the most popular bowls Spicy Beef and added cabbage to it. Yep you can add a wide variety of compliments to your already tasty bowl. The noodles were thin, elegant and perfectly cooked. The broth led me to my comfort zone! Almost like suckling a teet or a hot steamy bath with aroma candles or a fireplace with the one you love on a cold winter night. The artistic arrangement of beef,veggies and garnish looked like a masterpiece in the making. A small hot sake completed my valued experience!I strongly recommend trying this place out if you want a really good bowl. I’m definitely coming back for more! Hope to see you there ?“
“I come here because they have a pretty generous Groupon and they’re also dog friendly. They have lots of board games as well so it’s sort of family friendly. It’s always a good time for sure.You’ll be sort of confused because their cocktails are extremely pricey. You can see that in the pictures. I mean, a cocktail for $32?!?!?!? Does it come in a gallon jug? It’s just really confusing. It’s pricey because you buy them by bulk, which is a different approach for sure!The beers are great and tasty and the prices are reasonable for them so very confused on the cocktails.Lastly, they have a lot of THC products, sodas and gummies, so if that’s your jam, you are well catered for!“
“Townsend Barber Institute Pizza Party, celebrating our Veterans, my students and I, really enjoyed the food and everything arrived hot and right on time, we were able to be together and have a great time, the driver was pleasantly surprised when we all chipped in to make their day as well. $$ Can’t wait to enjoy this pizza and wings again, enjoy the pics & videos below.Parking: Delivery this time, but we have also had meals inside and there is plenty of parking.“
“DeGiddios is a restaurant I had driven by several times and often looked over, bt after hearing (and reading) so many good things, I knew I had to give it a try. I went with some friends to grab some appetizers and check it out and boy were we surprised. Our hostess greeted us so warmly and walked us to a booth near the back. The restaurant is covered in televisions streaming various sports games which was fun to watch and made the overall environment feel very comfortable. We were almost immediately greeted by our waitor who started us with drinks. I simply got the lemonade, which was good but a bit sweet, before ordering the garlic cheesy bread. The service took about 7ish minutes and boy was I surprised when it came out. The portion was HUGE (a real bang for your buck) and was delicious. I should note that the breadsticks are a bit greasy, but this didn't bother me and the flavor more than made up or this. The garlic flavor was strong but not pungent and the abundance of cheese made for the perfect string pull. Everything is more than reasonably priced and I definitely recommend the appetizers at DeGiddios and am excited to go back and try more!“
“A really great experience. For us, different new cuisine, made in an accessible and delicious way. The plating was appetizing. The bison, soups and yes....the snack like popcorn crickets were our favorites. A very helpful server and all the staff was friendly and nice. Very glad we went on a visit from New York. Location was pretty too.“
“Had 2 takeouts by now, extremely good tomato sauce and balanced cheese with fresh basil. Crust could be a bit more chewy and flavorful (with a higher mineral content like authentic French bakeries). Service is impeccable, truly old world generosity - we mentioned the crust was a tad on the burnt side the first visit and they gave us a free bowl of roasted carrots (which were also flavorful). Will be back again and again, and I can imagine their chefs only getting better with time“
“I can't say enough about how amazing Francis is! Outstanding food and drinks! They have the BEST Spicy Margarita that I have EVER had! Their drink menu has so many cool and unique cocktails that are different from any I have had before. Then there is the food...I literally think about the Chicken Sandwich daily. My daughter went 3 times the first week they were open, and continues to go weekly! There isn't an item in the menu that I've tried that is anything less than AMAZING! I HIGHLY recommend everyone tries it! You definitely do NOT need to be a vegan to love this food. Trust me, TRY IT! You'll love it and will ABSOLUTELY be back for more!Vegetarian options: The entire menu, including drinks, is vegan. No meat or dairy products, so perfectly suitable for vegetarians!“
“Whoa, all those suggestions are weird. IE has been our favorite place since they opened. The service is always good, the food is always good. It’s a little bit upscale but we regularly bike there so I never particularly care what I wear. Cocktails are good. Amari is really good.“
“Stopped in to Cosmic Coffee the other morning on a whim, and believe I just may have found my new favorite coffee shop in NE. Cosmic Coffee feels like an old school coffee shop, the ones that were about people connecting with people. Actual real live PEOPLE!!! Not only was the coffee delicious- expertly prepared by Dusty-but it was so refreshing to be around people laughing, conversing and connecting not just working away on laptops. If you want a great cup of coffee in a cozy, warm space of brick, wood and eclectic decor that does not feel like a sterile white hipster tech haven, please please give Cosmic a visit! And I recommend a lavender mocha!!“
“Extremely friendly atmosphere and staff. Our server, Jackson, has the best personality. Being our first visit, he explained the ingredients and recommended to try different sauces which were great. We asked to speak with his manager and Danny was just as kind. It’s nice to see a manager supporting his team with pride.“
“The space is gorgeous and beautifully decorated. The staff are SO nice. They are also dog friendly and where absolutely welcoming of my beast, even when she knocked over my drink. Even then they demanded we bring her back weekly. 100000/10 would recommend“
“This place is small but BOY is it good! Their flavors are more upscale and unique compared to your typical scoop shop. Sometimes I feel like places are trying to make these new fangled flavors just to seem cool and edgy, but not here. These flavors ACTUALLY work. Are they cool and edgy? Maybe. But they're also really really good.The burgers and cheese curds are great too. There's not much else on the menu but what they do, they do VERY well and I have no complaints.“
“It was a pleasure to meet Joe! Despite everything being full of hate, "America" I was delighted to have Joe as my server, and he was marvelously amazing! Let's get out of our comfort zones and say hi, hi, greet, and simply be kind to each other! My partner Brian and I are following Joe's footsteps.“
“Sad that it took me 9 years living in the area to stop by. Hadn't known about the place until searching today. The food was great. Multiple items on the menu I wanted to try (but provides opportunity to come back). I had the Carnitas omelet, which was great. My wife had the gluten free pancakes which tasted very good as well (I thought the syrup was a bit too sweet, but I think that might be how actual maple syrup is and just not what I'm used to). Food was excellent. Highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: Seems to have some good accessible gluten-free options.“
“Wow. What a great experience. Our server Priscilla was amazing. She turned around what could have been a disappointing evening due to a longer than normal wait for our food by offering incredible service which is increasingly rare. The creme brulee was the life-changing. So good.“
“Forgotten Star has become one of my favorites. A good selection of good beer, dog friendly, and a great space. Having both indoor and outdoor spaces with ample social distancing is super. Plus bocce, and rumors of curling this winter. And a food truck dock too!“
“As the name suggests, this place is all about being social. You definitely want to come with a group. My party of two stopped by on a trivia night and, even with the host on the loud speakers, I'd say the sound split was 55/45 in favor of guest chatter. Nicely varied selection of drinks, and the food truck has a solid burger. Tots were a bit over seasoned for my taste.“
“Great ambience!!! Fun space and not too busy on a Saturday afternoon to bring my boys! Beer was great! Many different Pilsners to choose from! And some good N/A options for the kids. Fun and friendly staff and added bonus of a parking lot!!“
“This place is so welcoming and great service ! Everytime I go there I plan on just a shake. But as I chat with Jami she is so loving and caring...I can't leave without their yummy bagels and then they seem to.have something new..like those cute lil adorable pies so yup couple of those too.Everything i have had there was so good and don't feel guilty for its packed with protein. So if you have never checked this place out give it a try.I Promise you won't regret and no matter who is working you will feel a very warm welcome ? !There are still are many things I want to try.The menu us huge!Parking: Right in front of front door!Kid-friendliness: I have seen many kids activities there offered.Wheelchair accessibility: I'm sure anyone with wheelchair ♿️ would have plenty of room.Also handicap ♿️ parking in lot.“
“Me and my family went out to this amazing place for dinner my kids are in love, great atmosphere very friendly employees and all around a great experience, I can’t leave a review without mentioning my favorite part which is definitely the pistachio gelato it’s amazing and I definitely recommend BOGA!“
“What a great place!!! I have been twice, coffee drinks were great - and the live music was so fun. Shows are all ages - so we've brought our 10 & 12 year old and they've had a great time! Thanks for giving the Twin Cities a COOL place for families to hang out without costing $$$“
“Had an enjoyable lunch here. The place is very popular with the locals, has a large number of tables which were mostly full, and good food. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. I had the country fried steak with grave, eggs, and hashbrowns. My wife had eaten the hashbrowns earlier for breakfast and really liked them - so I was happy to learn that they came paired with my entre. Mine were not as well-done as hers, but in fairness, she asked for extra crispy - I did not. So I didnt enjoy mine as much. I did, however, really enjoy my country fried steak. The place was celebrating a birthday so they had free chocolate cake for everyone, the cake was awesome. My wife also had a caramel roll which she said was to die for.“
“I tried two of their IPAs and they were really good and I brought a smashed crab sandwich from Coastal Seafoods which was really good.The beer had a lot of good hops, but they took my credit card for the tab? What? Do you really think I was going to run out of my tab on you?That was really off putting. The music was super loud, and I could barely tell what my wife was saying.Good beer though.“

“Kruse Market is wonderful! We enjoyed the Rainbow Bowl, What’s Wrong with Basic toast, Masala Chai Tea, and Blueberry Hills coffee. All were fantastic! A friend ordered the G.O.A.T. toast (on gluten-free bread) and let me take a nibble - divine! The retail side had a ton of great merch (those basil olives!!! *chef’s kiss!*) that we also stocked up on. And my family was pleasantly surprised to be the recipients of fresh takeout pastries and some Milkjam ice cream! We had such a fantastic time! There are ample outlets for the remote worker, and enough choices to satisfy all kinds of palates and dietary needs. I can’t wait to go back for dinner!“
“Tasty unique cocktails. I think they should bring some food back though, I can drink more when I am eating!All the musical acts were good, especially Fenix Dion. The sound was fine for my ears, but I think the shape of the room made it hard for my phone to get good video.“
“The best borscht ive ever had. (and only but that doesn't matter.) i literally couldnt sleep last night because i was craving it so bad. so don't go, unless you want to be craving it for the rest of your life. Dumplings were very good as well! The guy walking around playing accordian added to the vibe too“
“Maybe the best food I have ever eaten! The only thing it compares to was a small, unsigned restaurant in Roam, Italy. This adorable little old grandma made what ever looked good at the market into beautiful courses. This meal brought me back to there, 17 years ago. The flavors are so well balanced that each bite has the most amazingly perfect taste. It makes you forgot looking for all the individual flavors and simply just appreciate the perfect balance of all the flavors have combined to. Lastly, I love that it feels very much like good old fashion home cooking down to the extreme! The lasagna was something I will dream about eating again. Thank you!!!!!“
“Oh good gravy, I can’t begin to explain how good their Ruben Sandwich is! Side salad also on par with what tastes like homemade dressing. The side of homemade chips is a surprise bonus of deliciousness.Second time grabbing take out from here and the flavor and quality are just solid!“
“The building and decor are beautiful. The cashier was very nice. I would recommend the tomato soup and focaccia. My sandwich was ok cold sandwiches are not my favorite. I also got a delicious tiramisu I think they should come out with some warm ones. A little pricey but overall a good experience.Vegetarian options: They have a couple of vegetarian options but not very many vegan ones.“
“Urban Growler did not disappoint. We were there for a paint your pet fundraiser and were upstairs in the event space. The staff was very nice, taking food and beverage requests for the group and delivering them upstairs. I appreciated the time one of the employees took to answer my many questions about the beer and seltzer options. I chose the Growling Mule, which was delicious. The space was welcoming, bathroom was clean, with the biggest win being the option of food at the brewery. I posted multiple pictures of the outside space and of The Barrel Room. We enjoyed our first visit and will plan on returning soon!“
“I love that the menu is made up of both tapas-style options and full entree dishes from the Caribbean + also New Orleans- some of my favorite flavors! The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and helpful. Both the cocktails and NA drinks are fantastic, and the ambiance is a welcome addition to North Loop + the Twin Cities-- festive, fun, relaxing, good vibes.“
“We recently enjoyed the the Köld Kolsch from Fair State. We do like our kolsch beers and we enjoyed this one fairly well. It had all the features and highlights like a kolsch should. With this beer the flavor highlights are crisp ,clean, bready and some presence of graininess.It was a very refreshing beer and one that we liked quite a bit as the heat of midsummer cranked up a few notches when we enjoyed this Kolsch a few weeks ago.“
“Ok dude in the front cool he a bit rushy though he’s cool other then that. The food is usually good 9/10 times big ups to the Mexicano’s they cooking is great! Now the sauce fridge by the drinks is usually a bit empty especially the garlic aioli and you can count the number of fries they give you now back in the day they use to be plentiful but why even give them if your gonna give me 10-15 fries potatoes are cheap and plentiful kinda makes me regret tipping. I could’ve used that money on extra fries.Vegetarian options: They have impossible meat as a substituteKid-friendliness: Great for children“
“I recently dined at Fhima's, where Sean, the sommelier, provided an exceptional experience. His expertise shone as he recommended the perfect wine pairing for the Pulpa dish, enhancing the flavors and making the meal truly memorable. The thoughtful guidance added a delightful touch to the overall dining experience, making Fhima's a must-visit for those seeking a harmonious fusion of exquisite cuisine and expertly curated wine selections.“
“Amazing food, fantastic customer service, love the music and outdoor patio with koi pond with fish and for anybody like me with food allergies it's a great place to eat at as well. It's nice and relaxing to and they sometimes have art for sale from local artists it's quite nice“
“We had to make some last minute changes and reach out to El Jefe to see if they could assist us with our grooms dinner. Everyone was amazing through the whole process and very accommodating. The food was incredible and served fast. Even with the 100 degree weather Miguel made sure we had a great time. Thank you El Jefe!“
“We visited Headflyer yesterday during the Johnny Athletic podcast recording. Packed house. Our first visit to this brewery and we were impressed. Excellent beer. I had the Feel the Flow Golden Ale. A great choice for me. My wife enjoyed the Root Down. Friendly staff. Nice size parking lot.“
“The atmosphere was nice. I feel like it's more of a place to meet people rather than to work as it gets quite loud. I visited on a late Saturday morning and it was pretty busy. I'm giving the "food" 3 stars because the "hot" coffee flight I ordered was not hot. Three were warm and one was cold. It's definitely been my least favorite coffee flight experience so far and it's disappointing because that's the whole reason I wanted to visit.“
“Our first time there and it was a very pleasant experience. For this old couple, the acoustics are important and the space passed with flying colors. They have four small TV screens on the bar wall all showing the same and did not distract us even the slightest. Menu is limited to about fifteen items and the quality and presentation were excellent. Service was friendly, personal and quite prompt. My only small grievance is their 5% "kitchen staff fee." I so wish we could include service in the price and forget about tipping altogether. How about doing a survey with your customers on this topic?“
“Just had a staff happy hour ( that lasted about two hours!) that was so much fun! Great service, great apps and beverages and just a wonderful place! Haven't been in for a while due to Covid and it was GREAT to be back! A true gem in the neighborhood! Thanks, Sonder Team!“
“Haven't been there in a while but I'm so glad to see they are still there. Great coffee, service(quick and efficient) and the atmosphere is THE best I've ever experienced in a coffee house. The staff is friendly and so are the customers. Outside seating is great. I love that there are spaces, on the street, reserved for motorcycles. Prices, for a coffee house of this caliber, are inexpensive. I used to live in the neighborhood and Bob's became my go to. Thank you.“

“the coffee is amazing and they make the most interesting drink combinations for their seasonal drinks. I never thought peaches and coffee would go well together but it's delicious. they also make adorable latte art and are very involved in neighborhood events!“
“What a treat! Cafe Astoria offers an exquisite blend of immaculate vibes, tasty food, and unique beverages, both hot and cold. I highly recommend the Athena Omelet Wrap and Mexican Mocha. Seating was surprisingly ample! We were expecting to have to wait on a Saturday morning, but their spacious interior and friendly staff made for a very smooth and pleasant experience. Hope to be back!“
“The last two words "Coffee gallery" perfectly describes the coffee shop! It's cool seeing the different kinds of art work, also two huge plusses are there's plenty of tables and there's a parking lot!! For the amount of people that were there it wasn't super loud either! Will for sure be coming back again!“
“I ordered a sugar free decaf skim coffee drink and it was among the best I’ve ever had. The staff were friendly and personable and worked hard to make my order right. The space was cozy and had a number of places to sit even during a rush time.“
“The beer is very good, and it's one of my favorite tap room venues in the city. It's in an old factory (plane wing manufacturing?) with the cranes still in the rafters. Fantastic semi-covered outdoor space, cornhole/bean-bag toss, several tables, and an overpriced food truck.Update several years later: still one of the best atmospheres in the metro. Family and dog friendly. Open air, huge patio, great food trucks.“
“Dangling a 5-star rated place in front of a Yelp Elite? Especially a drive thru coffee kiosk? I just couldn't resist checking out Mudslingers. This place is SO cute, and it's so easy to stop by anytime you find yourself in or around Roseville. I got a small hot Buttercup drink with an extra shot of espresso. Delicious! There are a ton of options (and I didn't get a pastry this time) so I'll definitely have to come back and try more of their tasty drinks.“
