“I have to admit that this coffee shop is more fun because my dad knows half of the people working and drinking coffee here. That said, you couldn't find a more ideal location or friendlier baristas. I frequently sit outside when I'm visiting Wayzata, jawing with the kind of exceptional older men you can only find here. Many of them are retired from interesting careers, but what they really like doing is ribbing each other and placing bets (for a cup of coffee) on who will win the latest golf tournament. Oh yeah, and the coffee is good. They also have some small sandwiches and pastries. I always order herbal tea, but what I'm really paying for is the lake view and the conversation. Long live the Caribou!“
“First time to Benedict's and it will not be the last! We had a great server named Lily- we started with amazing money bread to celebrate my husband's birthday- then we ordered tator tot hash and eggs benedict -- everything was so delicious- what a great way to start your day!“
“A dream come true.....So I watch British Bake off and the final challenge for one episode was a Norwegian Princess cake: sponge cake, fruit, cream and green marzipan. I live in Pennsylvania--devoid of most Norwegians so it wasn't until I visited Minnesota that I got to try it.....Literal perfection. A must try for anybody...“
“Service was quick and simple, drinks consistent and all expectations met as with any Starbucks!Vegetarian options: As with all Starbucks, they offer soy milk as well as coconut and almond I think. They have several vegetarian options for snacks as well, including sandwiches and cheese trays. For vegan option snacks, they have a plain bagel and avocado spread.“
“McDonald’s is always a great restaurant to get some quick food. The employees were a bit slow to answer my question and they had nobody working at the register so you had to use the kiosk. I got a lemonade and they filled the entire cup with ice, so I got barely any of the actual lemonade.“
“Love swinging by before work. They usually get drinks to you pretty quickly, and they taste good! Their banana bread is killer too. I usually get the honey chai latte and a banana bread.It’s a nice vibe with lots of tables, it’s pretty quiet early in the morning but people definitely start filtering in as time goes by. It’s in a strip mall so you can walk to other places like saweetee.Parking is available around the back, just keep going past kingdom and take the first right“
“Truly one of my favorite places in the Twin Cities. I feel so lucky to have this in my neighborhood! Good coffee & tea with creative specials (I'm 99% sure they make syrups etc in house), great sandwiches, small but very solid beers on tap ...plus books! and friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Tiny lot in the back off the ally but frankly the free street parking is even more convenient. I order all of my books through them and I really enjoyed a book club I did there last spring & I've been meaning to do more. Also this is where I stop for a lil treat - currently the amaretto mocha, but they seem to always have at least one seasonal special I'm into.Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly“
“Drinks are always impeccable, service is A+, the only problem is finding a seat as they are always packed! Their prices are reasonable for downtown Excelsior, and especially for the quality (their wine prices might be the best in the area!).“
“Don't let the hostess/waitress throw you off. I was glad I knew what to expect from other reviews. Mia greeted us with a scowl and tossed a couple menus on a far corner table for us...but after that, she was perfectly personable and no further complaints about her. Not sure why she doesn't greet customers with a smile, but it didn't affect the service. The food is good, though the "giant sized English muffins" are anything but. They are just normal sized English muffins and not sure why they are billed as "giant sized". The potatoes are spicy with pepper but very tasty and oily. We did enjoy our meals and the prices very reasonable. Now that we know Mia is all bark and no bite, we'll definitely be back!“
