I am a Washington native and just moved to Minnesota and I have never been treated so rude at a Starbucks.

It was clean and there is a nice bathroom. The restaurant was pretty busy, mostly it seemed with regulars. They remember the regular's names and orders which is pretty impressive. I was not a regular, but service was fast and very friendly. The vibe was pretty regular smallish town coffee shop. Not hipster at all, clientele was fairly rural. I have always liked Dunn Brothers because their lattes/mochas/etc. have a lot more coffee flavor than the other chains. My medium latte was around $6, and my avocado toast, which was also very good, was about $7 (without bacon). My coffee was very hot and tasted good. I will be back when I am in the area.

The staff is very nice but a lot of the time inexperienced or slow. Management can be horrible, manager once yelled at her trainees instead of helping with orders. Also overall rude. Very nice seating and places to chill, also fun to watch golfers play. Tables unfortunately are usually dirty and not cleaned after the previous diner, so you do have to wipe it off yourself with a napkin.

The interior is fun: loosely themed with spooky/throwback decor from horror movies. Space for small and medium groups to stay or quick to-go orders like myself.

I wish it wasn't so far away, as I'd run back to get another every day! Keep up the good work!

We ordered the Maleki coffee and a strawberry hibiscus refresher. The coffee was piping hot and spiced deliciously! And the refresher was divine! It used fresh strawberries and hibiscus flowers so it was packed with flavor. Then they generously gave us the Adeni chai with Bayt cold foam and another refresher. The chai has a bold black tea flavor that is nicely balanced with spices. And the cold foam was amazing! We also tried the dirty sodas--my favorite was the peaches and cream flavor. All made with real ingredients! The interior was beautiful with lots of places to sit and outlets everywhere so this would be a great place to work or study.

Kung Fu tea is a classic boba place throughout the world and it's one of 3 locations in MN I…read morebelieve. The drinks here are consistent and the boba pearls are the perfect texture of soft and chewy. One thing to note though is that the staff will say a drink is dairy free but it's probably not and actually lactose free as they use a lactose-free creamer powder or lactose-free milk. Good to double check and clarify if you have an allergy. My go to order is the strawberry milk tea with matcha cap + boba- so creamy and refreshing. One thing I like about Kung Fu is also collabs they do. Currently during Dec 2025 they are doing a collaboration with Pokemon. So it was nice to try a new drink and get a cute Pokemon topper (pikacu & Pokemon ball option).

The store is very compact so if you come at a busy time in the morning or on the weekend be prepared to line up outside, but they do a good job of keeping the line moving. If you arrive early in the morning - before 7:30am you should still have a full selection of donuts - any later you are risking some flavors of being sold out. I will continue to go here any time I am looking for donuts in the morning!

We got two breakfast sandwiches; sausage, egg and cheese on a croissant & the ultimate bagel (sausage, bacon, and ham). Both were excellent. Croissant was buttery and the sandwich was delicious and not greasy. The bagel was also delicious, pillowy and light. To drink we got the BEST fruit tea in the passion fruit flavor. I've been missing these from where I live in California and this was perfect. Second drink was a coconut mocha. Also delicious. Fantastic coffee, no bitterness, and the chocolate coconut flavor was perfect. We went late in the day but they still had a great selection of donuts. We did a box of a half dozen (cream cheese filled, custard filled chocolate long John, maple old fashioned, sugar twist, and two maple bacon long Johns. And the owner was kind enough to give me a bonus fritter. Hands down best donuts in central MN. This is what a donut shop should be. The inside shop is so cute and extremely clean. There are plenty of places to sit if you'd like to enjoy your food or beverage there. 10/10 recommend if you're anywhere near Monticello or wanting a a well worth road trip. Will definitely be back soon!!!
