Despite a busy drive-thru line and decently packed inside, each staff member had a smile on their face and worked quickly. I ordered a latte with oat milk and honey lavender. It was SO GOOD.

This place is adorable! From the exterior it doesn't look like much. I must confess I drove by it…read moremultiple times for almost 3 weeks before I finally stopped in. As soon as I walked in I kicked myself for not stopping sooner! The interior is cozy with plenty of seating areas and seating styles. From couches to chairs, and everything in between. They even have a cute little fireplace that I imagine would be lovely to sit next to on a cold winter day with a nice warm drink in your hand! The baristas are wonderful. Even when they have a line in drive thru and a line at the counter they keep things moving with speed and efficiency. Thus far I've tried the S'mores Latte (perfection) and the sugar caramel chai latte (delicious). The make your own breakfast sandwich is ALWAYS delicious. I plan on stopping here every day that I'm here for the next week. Love it, don't let the exterior fool you like it fooled me!!!

I would often stop there on my way back from a noon Rollerblade ride for a frozen coffee drink or one of her fruit smoothies. Sometimes there would be someone else there at the same time and we would have fun talking over the news of the day. There are only two tables in the shop so most people get it "to go" but it can be rewarding to spend some time there and see a cross culture of downtown people.

However, after seeing the law enforcement going in at lunch, figured it had been vetted. They had food, too! The menu included flatbreads, salads, unique sandwich combinations, and breakfast. I had difficulty deciding because of their varied menu of choices. Certainly wanted one of those tasteful looking scones, too, but will save that for another day. I ordered a sausage galette, a blend of sausage, bacon, egg and pepperjack cheese. It was like a gourmet croissant sandwich with soft flaky bread and perfect flavor mix and some excellent pop! There was a bit of coldness in the egg, but managed through that. Topped it off with a Scandinavian coffee, that was a delectable combination of coffee, cardamom and cream. It was a perfect post-morning drink without being sweet. This place will be on my list on future stops along Highway 71! Excellent service and great presentation!

Living in the middle of nowhere Minnesota, to say that I am delightfully surprised with this coffee…read moreshop would be an understatement! :) The food and the drinks here are excellent. I was shocked when the flavor of their espresso, their drip is great, and I love the little pitchers they use to give you the half-n-half! :) Most coffee shops that serve food and coffee are lacking in one of the departments, but this place serves both well! Plus, there are SO many food and drink options, with salads, teas, Lotus Drinks, specialty coffee beverages, and fresh sandwiches. All of the workers are polite. This is definitely the kind of place that you want to sit down at. I wouldn't describe this place as super fast, but that is no bother! No matter how busy it is, you still receive the same high-quality product with your drinks and food. As for seating, bring a large group, or come alone; there are SO many comfortable seating options here, from booths and comfortable leather chairs. Every time I come here, the food, drinks, and the workers here exceed my expectations! It is totally a hidden gem in Menahga, Minnesota. :-)
