Ashley, who has whipped up healthy shakes and loaded teas at North Country Nutrition (NCN), let me…read moreknow that she was splitting her time between that location and Simpley Nutrition. She is the mastermind behind many of the yummy recipes at NCN that I was excited to check out this place. I dropped by during my first full day in the Twin Cities. Simpley Nutrition is located in Inver Grove Heights (IGH). It's perfect when I am on my way to Rochester. It's also nice to say that I have visited another place in IGH other than Target. This place is in a plaza, across from Cub Foods, including its pharmacy. I had no problem finding a parking spot steps away from the main entrance. I backed into the spot and walked in. I got to meet Ashley's husky, who has the most beautiful piercing eyes and greeted me so warmly. It was great seeing her again, but in a different nutrition studio. The cool thing is that she has the same December shake and tea menus at both NCN and Simpley Nutrition. It makes her life easier. It also makes mine easier ordering at either place. I forgot to ask her about the name Simpley. I know that there is a lake nearby called Simley Lake. I need to find out what the P stands for. I'm thinking Protein. I got the following drinks: - Christmas carol tea - Christmas crack (Heath) shake I also got a couple of cake batter donuts on the house. The idea is that you sign in on the touchpad with your phone number. I'm already registered in the system, so I selected my name and I was good. If you're new, you fill in your name to register and you're done. i paid with a credit card. I was able to tip, too. Ashley didn't take long to make my drinks. I asked that the whipped cream be held on my shake. Done! I thanked her, said goodbye to her husky, and headed down to Rochester with my drinks. The best part was sipping and finishing my shake for most of my hour drive down to Rochester. The Christmas crack shake tastes just like a Heath bar. I loved the toffee bits. There was some chocolate and chopped nuts. So good! It made my drive down great. I had my Christmas carol tea for the rest of my trip down to northern Iowa and back up to the Twin Cities. It had peach, mango, raspberry, and orange. I loved it. It had all my favourite flavours rolled into a tea. I like the sports jerseys that are framed on the walls. The Minnesota Wild is featured a few times, which made my day. It's a deep studio. I liked being there. It felt comfortable. I'll be back. It's great that I have another nutrition studio for no to low sugar in teas and shakes. (491)

First time here. Came for a couple of lattes and some bakery…read more Food: We got two mocha lattes, one white chocolate and the other dark chocolate, both served in mugs. Both were very good, though the temperature was a bit cool for me at 130°F. There were plenty of appealing bakery choices, including scones, cookies, muffins, and biscotti. The espresso chocolate scone, which they warmed up, was excellent. Service: The people waiting on us were friendly and very attentive. They brought our bakery out once it was warmed up. Atmosphere: The place was busy, and finding somewhere to sit was a challenge. We wanted a small table, but the two open ones had "Reserved" signs on them. That made it difficult to find a spot where we could comfortably set our food and drinks. We ended up on a sofa, which was a bit awkward. With so many loud conversations, it was sometimes hard to hear each other. Not much they can do about that. A place I'd stop by again.

If there were a perfect pharmacy, this would be it…read more I have used many pharmacies over the years -- Walgreens, Cub Foods, Allina, mom-and-pop shops, Walmart, United Hospital -- and none of them even come close to Hy-Vee Pharmacy. Walgreens was consistently out of stock, had extremely long wait times, didn't answer the phone, offered rude or unhelpful customer service, and made refunds nearly impossible. Hy-Vee is the complete opposite in every way. Hy-Vee is always in stock, or they will have the medication later the same day or early the next morning. The staff is incredibly kind, patient, and helpful every single time. There has never once been a line in the drive-thru when I've gone to pick up medication. If I need an early refill, they handle everything themselves -- they call the insurance, work it out quickly, and within about 15 minutes the medication is filled and ready for pickup. No stress, no runaround. I once asked if my son's medication could be put in a bottle that's easier to use with a syringe. They not only did it, they noted it on my account -- and they have done it correctly every single time since without me needing to ask again. That level of care is rare. Their free same-day delivery is exactly that -- same day, every time. I've never had a single issue that they couldn't fix or resolve, and they truly go above and beyond. They also have the best medication bottles of any pharmacy I've ever used. Hy-Vee Pharmacy has completely changed my expectations of what a pharmacy should be. I would never go anywhere else.

Easily the cleanest and best organized Hy-Vee I've ever been to. Took me a moment to figure out…read morewhere my health food section was but I got it. Their bakery set up is amazing! Too bad there's nothing vegan. Bathrooms were all private and clean.

So happy to have another coffee option in Cottage Grove…read more This is a walk-up trailer at the back end of the Cub parking lot. They do have an inline order option as well. Staff are alwats friendly and drinks are delicious. My favorites are anything with the banana milk. I would note that the drinks are a little sweet, so if that's not your thing, try an unsweetened or ask for half shots of flavor. Wait times can be a little long, which us the only reason I took off a star.

Seating next to the cabin or take it to go.

I'm glad to have a sushi restaurant in town. Sometimes the sushi craving hits hard and grocery…read morestore sushi usually doesn't fill that crave! To me, sushi cafe is in between grocery store sushi and a good sushi restaurant. I've really only had their sushi and wontons. They have a lot of variety on their menu, but haven't tried it. Their wontons though, possibly my favorite ever!! I've always only done takeout - so as far their takeout customer service, I can't complain!

The guys behind the counter are barking, singing in Spanish and making all sorts of weird noises. One of is them constantly coughing and clearing his throat. Had I not already paid I would have walked out. There are now 7 of us in the lobby waiting. Got in my car, hungry, and took a bite of an egg roll. Omfg I can't! This is literally COLD AND SOGGY. Got home and the takoyaki is saturated in sauce and cold. Never, ever again! This place is for sale and you should definitely reconsider coming here. Let's help them close. This place is a disgrace!

Surprisingly, my favorite dish here is the lamb shank and the pasta - chef is really good! The Ethiopian food absolutely hits the spot, and the decor is very stylish and representative of a fine dining cuisine in Addis - especially with a nostalgic music. Certain things to be mindful of: difficulty with parking, and real Ethiopian food takes significant amount of time to prep so it's more of made as it is ordered and prepared for long relaxed lunch hours or dinners; so ensure you are not in a rush. Would highly recommend the samboosa appetizer for the kids! Definitely our go-to spot for guest and night of relaxation, and to-go orders (again the pasta is amazing too!)

It was very good. I also ordered lemonade and it was served with dry mint sprinkled on top. Not much of a mint taste. For any of you who haven't tried Ethiopian cuisine, you eat mostly with your hands. Injera is a spongelike thin bread that you break into pieces. Hold the injera and pinch the food and eat. Very easy and tasty - kids will love it. My only concern was that the server had a very dirty shirt. He needs to wear an apron if he helps in the kitchen.

And of course there is a drive thru, which can be really packed at times but it moves quickly. I have never got my order messed up here, although I do make sure every time to double check before leaving the lot. The food is always hot and never tasted stale.
