Beautiful space inside! It's large with tons of searing. They have an extensive menu as well, with…read morelots of options from coffee to smoothies. I went with an iced pumpkin latte, which was perfectly sweet and a great pumpkin flavor. Service was quick and my drink was ready soon after ordering.

The space was very nicely designed and well lit. The parking was the trickiest to figure out, but…read morethere is parking spaces on the back as well as street parking across the street. 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!

Rough first impression for sure. This is one identity within a building called "Resolve Food Hall",…read morewhich is the main thing you'll notice as you approach the building. I was not sure I was even in the right place at first. Straight ahead as you enter is the coffee shop part of this place, and there is a touchscreen ordering panel but also a cashier. However, we came at 11am on a Saturday and wanted some of the brunch options. We were directed to a table in another part of the facility, given the full Curiouser menu, and abandoned for 30 minutes. No one talked to us again so we left and got brunch at another nearby establishment. I still hadn't had any coffee later that afternoon so I stopped by to try an easier scenario, and I had an excellent iced drink called Absolutely Alice. Perfect sweetness level for me; I like it sweet while still being able to get coffee flavor out of it. So I would definitely return for a coffee. The corners of the building that are meant to be associated with the coffee shop part of the business are nice; lots of plants and homey touches. But even though we did see servers taking orders at other tables, I don't think they have that down. I'd recommend coming here just for small orders at the counter.

Updated review: Came back a second time with a friend and I'm honestly much more impressed. My…read morefirst visit didn't totally win me over, but this time the coffee was noticeably better and the overall experience felt more worth it. The space still has a slightly weird food hall vibe (not super cozy coffee shop energy), but the drinks are hand crafted. They use local beans, have handmade syrups, and offer a fun variety of specialty drinks that feel thoughtful and well made. One of my favorite details: the plants throughout the shop have names and many are for sale, which is such a fun, quirky touch and makes the space feel more intentional and unique. Overall, I'm glad I gave it another shot, much better experience the second time and definitely a cool local spot with personality.

Service leaves a lot to be desired! I was interested in learning a bit more about the flavors and…read morerecommendations the baker/cashier was not interested in assisting much. I did end up getting the wedding cake cupcake. It was okay. The cupcake itself is a bit dry and the frosting is not sweet (the baker did warn me). I quite enjoyed the lemon filling but don't know if I'd be returning due to the flavor. They do offer treats for dogs so that's a win! They also have macaroons and non cupcake treats. It is very quiet and clean inside, great for an intimate conversation or study session. Glad I was finally able to try this place!

The frosting was very very very light whipped with little flavor. The cupcake itself was moist and tasty but lacking. We've had better (both gf and regular cupcakes). Price wise isn't bad. We weren't blown away. If you're looking for cupcakes (gf or regular) there are more flavorful options available. The people that worked at the location were very nice.

However, I was intrigued to check it out, as I have never been to any Dunn Brothers Coffee place in my life. So, I put my Thai bubble tea in my car and walked over here. There was a woman in front of me placing her order. It allowed me to look at the baked goods. I felt like a dessert item. There are seats to the right of the order area where you can take a load off, sip your beverage, and indulge. There was also a cheerful red coffee grinder that looked so pretty with the sunshine spotlighting it. When it was my turn, I got a nice guy helping me out behind the counter. I had my eye on the cinnamon coffee cake, so I ordered it. He was about to enter it in the payment system when he noticed that the woman before me had her payment declined. So, I stepped away as the other woman behind the counter got the female customer to swipe her card again. Everything eventually was sorted out. It allowed me to look at all the syrup bottles available for purchase. I was excited to see sugar-free raspberry syrup. You can also get growlettes. They looked so nice. I then went to pay for my item. I used a credit card. It was straightforward and nothing was declined. Yay! I got my cinnamon coffee cake. I thanked the man and left. I had the coffee cake when I returned to my hotel room. I heated it up slightly. It looked like it was smiling back at me. OMG! It was moist and so delicious. I loved it. It was definitely worth getting. I'd love to return and get a raspberry white mocha and more baked goods. This place has dairy-free options. It's a cool place in my books. (490)

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!!

This is a must try if you are in the Rosemount area. They were super busy Saturday morning, the…read morewhole restaurant was filled when I arrived but the service was amazing! They are so quick getting the orders out I was surprised I didn't have to wait longer. Seating is limited so don't expect to have a spot when you get there unless you get lucky and someone is leaving. Empanadas are $4 but they have a combo 3 for $10 so I got 3 of each flavor, the spicy beef, pineapple, chicken and breakfast. My favorite was the pineapple and the spicy beef. They do sell a dozen empanadas frozen so I might have to do that for when I get cravings and they aren't open. I also had to try a bunch of their spring special drinks, they all sounded so tasty. I love fruity flavored drinks so I tried the white chocolate berry chai, banana berry horchata, lavender latte and a mocha. I normally don't like lavender but this one was pretty tasty with their house made lavender syrup! The rest of the drinks were really good too except a bit sweet for my taste. They do have oat milk but charged a dollar for it. Hours are limited so make sure you check before you go. Oh also bring cash if you can. They do charge extra for credit cards.

It's not too sweet which I enjoyed, and the flavor was more subtle. The large latte was more milk forward so you may want to add an extra shot of espresso if you prefer stronger drinks. The espresso tasted great! The empanadas were so delicious. They're baked, not fried, so the crust is softer. The breakfast and spicy beef empanadas were my favorite! The breakfast empanada was so comforting. The spicy beef empanada was incredibly flavorful but if you can only tolerate Minnesota spicy then it may be on the spicier end for you. The chicken empanada had good flavor but the chicken was a little dry. The staff were super friendly and there was plenty of seating available.

I was absolutely thrilled when I discovered Café de Paris in Apple Valley. It's surprisingly…read moredifficult to find a truly high-quality bakery around here, and after one too many supermarket "French" baguettes and bake-at-home loaves, this place was exactly what I'd been looking for. The bread is fantastic--crusty, fresh, and authentically French. They also have an incredible selection of beautiful pastries, cakes, and other classic French treats that look like they came straight out of a Parisian pâtisserie. And the coffee is absolutely exquisite. One thing that always makes me smile is that while the pastries look and taste authentically French, they're definitely American-sized! They're enormous. If you're hungry, you're in for a treat. More often than not, I'll enjoy half of one there with a coffee and take the rest home in a box for later. It's a wonderful little café with a relaxed atmosphere and a great place to sit and unwind. If you're in the Apple Valley area and looking for something a little different--something with a genuine European feel--I can't recommend Café de Paris highly enough. I'll definitely keep coming back.

I easily order on their app (it saves your orders so you can see what you have ordered before). Orders are ready very quickly. The store is clean, new and well maintained. They do have a few tables outside but I have not sat there (right by cars and not super inviting).
