Walking in, it was very warmly designed and had plenty of space and seating options from solo or group settings. There's some outlet options around as needed as well. The menu was around the top front counter with baked goods for viewing. I wanted to try their signature drink Arise. The staff was welcoming and assisted promptly and explained to me that it was like a latte with cinnamon swirl syrup which sounded great to me. It's definitely a nice spot to stop by if you're in the area!

The Buzz is a great place to stop by for waffles and more!…read more I first discovered this cafe through a vegan friend - The Buzz has a secondary vegan waffle menu that is full of tasty options, and not limited like many breakfast places are! I have been back numerous times to try their vast menu of waffle choices and coffee. The small cafe is always bustling with visitors on the weekend - if you are looking to dine in, arrive early or be prepared to wait for a seat. I highly recommend for anyone to check out! I have never been disappointed by the quality of food and service. They even have punch cards for frequent visitors!

I tried both coffee and waffles the most recent time I came and both were tasty. I will say though their waffle menu is quite extensive - dare I say a bit overwhelming. The prices are super reasonable though (especially compared to other local shops). I would highly recommend checking it out to catch up with a friend or just hang out!

Indigo Tea is easily one of the best tea spots in the Twin Cities…read more Their chocolate masala chai is incredible and honestly one of the best chai drinks I've ever had. The matcha is also amazing and made authentically, which you can really taste in the quality. They clearly take a lot of pride in how their drinks are prepared. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful, which makes it such a nice place to slow down and enjoy your tea. You can sit at traditional tea tables on tatami mats, shoes off, which adds to the whole experience and makes it feel very intentional and relaxing. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They also have a wonderful selection of loose leaf teas, kettles, mugs, and other tea accessories for sale. If you love tea, this place is absolutely worth visiting. One of the most unique and thoughtfully run tea shops in the area.

It's located in a strip mall so there is plenty of parking in the lot.

I've seen great reviews for BlueNose Coffee so I had to check it out! They had a drive thru but I…read morewent inside to order. They have a cozy atmosphere and is a nice spot to enjoy a morning drink. I ordered a blue nose mocha and a believin' berry buzz dirty soda along with a blueberry scone. The scone was subtly sweet and pretty dense. It was a great choice of bakery item. The mocha was super sweet. It almost tasted more like a latte than a mocha. The sugary flavors drown out the espresso bitterness. I'd order something else next time since the sugar rush was a lot. Since Farmington has been known to consume the most Mountain Dew per capita in the US I ordered a Mountain Dew based dirty soda. With all the added flavors of this drink I kind of forgot it was Mountain Dew. Like everything else this was a super sugary drink but was nice to try due to the novelty of the drink.

I've passed by BlueNose Coffee many times and always noticed how busy it is, especially the…read moredrive-through, which always seems packed. I finally decided to stop in for an early coffee and breakfast. They have a display case next to the register offering bakery items and sandwiches. The bakery items looked great, but I was in the mood for something more filling, so I ordered the Turkey Bacon Apple sandwich. For my drink, I chose the hot Bananas Foster Latte with an extra shot of espresso. The coffee was pretty good and came out quickly. It wasn't mind-blowing, but I enjoyed it. The sandwich was also good, though nothing particularly special--it was a fairly standard turkey sandwich. The vibe of the café is nice, with plenty of tables and cute décor. The service was great as well; the person who took my order was very friendly and welcoming. While this isn't a place I'm rushing back to, I would return to try some of the bakery items or one of their "dirty sodas," which I thought was an interesting addition to the menu.

Honestly, I didn't think the place would live up to what I had seen ahead of time. The croissants…read morewere fantastic! I only stopped at the counter, checked out the offerings, and picked up a few things to go. The place was nice and charming but the seating didn't look too comfortable. Listen, it's not about the chairs. This is a gem of a cafe with excellent baked goodies and desserts. Indulge and enjoy!

Decided to give this place a try after being in the area. Quick review: Food was VERY tasty!…read moreService and ambiance... definitely lacking.... I walked in and saw you could either order on a large touch screen on with a person at the front. I don't mind touch screens, so I went to start my order. The problem is that there are no pictures... so you're not 100% sure what you are ordering. I stopped the order and walked over to the case to order with the employee instead. There was one woman in front of me and she got her items quickly. I ordered 5 items. (See pic below) All of them were fantastic! I really do judge a place by how well they can do a croissant, and this place does them very well!! The employees were very polite but for some reason my order took almost 15 mins to fill... I watched them pull the items from the case, so I'm not sure why it took them so long to do the order. There was only one other person who ordered after me and she had a drink and a box of pastries too... she received her items first. As for the space, it is bland and feels like an old Carribou coffee.... There really wasn't anything that felt "Paris or French" here. Very bland and not very cozy. If you plan on going(the food was very good) order it to go...

This is a nice suburban brunch place that particularly prides itself on entirely organic and…read morelocally-sourced ingredients. Pleasant environment with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and very nice, thoughtful service. Prices are above average, particularly my $21 Classic Eggs Benedict. It came with potatoes which tasted nice and had a very "we just yanked these potatoes from the dirt" texture, if that makes sense. The Hollandaise sauce could have used more flavor, and I could maybe say the same about my Pollinator Latte. The thing is, though, what you're getting here is a very conscientious attention to food sensitivities and ethical sourcing. This is VERY much a place for people with dietary challenges. Vegan and gluten-free options are abundant, and indeed everything is dairy-free "by default". I don't have any food allergies but I trust that they are prepared to thoroughly disclose any relevant information and make personal adjustments. Again, I'm just assuming that but they are clearly hanging their hat on this virtue, far more than competing restaurants with similar fare.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the chance!…read more There is tons of free parking! This building used to serve a difference purpose and did more "business" stuff. It has not been converted and one of the new places inside is selling delicious coffee!! The space was modern and very clean! There is also a fair amount of seating here! This place has an awesome cause! They employ those that may have a harder time getting a job due to cognitive abilities. With that being said, be respectful, order a bit slower and if you need to repeat yourself, be patient! Everyone here was unbelievably sweet! The coffee was absolutely AMAZING! Starbucks has nothing on these guys! I got a blackberry vanilla latte iced with oatmilk (almond milk is the other nondairy option) IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! I want to try all of their specials now!! This is a "hidden gem" for Apple Valley! Definitely give this place a try!!

The coffee is delicious every single time. Their mission makes it even better. They give back to the community and employ individuals with Down syndrome who are truly the sweetest and make the whole experience feel even more personal. The staff take great care of you, the service is always kind, and the drive-through is incredibly convenient, especially since the shop itself is located inside an office building. Just be mindful of the indoor hours, but the drive-through window on the side makes it easy to swing by anytime they're open. Such a feel-good spot with great coffee and an even greater purpose. One of my favorites.
