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!

It's funny how poor customer service completely changes your attitude towards a business you used…read moreto enjoy. I used to live in the area and when the small coffee shop opened I was so exited to have that in our community and was happy to support them - even if some coffee beverages were top dollar. I was in the area today, and decided to stop in since I no longer live in the area and wanted to enjoy a good brew. Unfortunately, the experience I had left me leaving with a bitter taste in my mouth - and it wasn't from the coffee. I thought it goes without saying, but when a customer greets you, you should greet them back, not just stare. It would be even better if your staff would greet each customer first - make them feel welcome. Maybe I'm a millennial channeling boomer energy, but for years I'm noticing the customer service disappearing from a lot of businesses. I love that connection, but I'm understanding that some people see only a paycheck and skid by with minimal customer service and that is the new way. I don't plan to visit this establishment again. I wish the barista with star tattoos would have put in enough customer service energy that she did with her impeccable makeup.

The fruit was perfectly ripe and I received a generous portion of it. You order and pay and the register, and then your crepe is made to order.

We asked for a cup of water but were told that there is no free water available, only bottles for purchase. It's located in the middle of the Eagan outlet mall so you have to park and take a short walk to get to it. There is no restroom inside -- use the one in the mall if you need to.

I love the vibe and their seasonal drinks. It's so neat to watch them make up the drinks because for the most part, they put a lot of care into them - it looks like an art. The one downside is that the staff and coffee can be very hit or miss. Sometimes, I get very kind staff and other times they are flustered and it definitely can reflect on the drink. I'd rather have people take their time with their craft than rush and come off frustrated.

The experience at this restaurant is weird. Show up at 11am…read more- you'll have a line out the door. That is understandable, as it's peak brunch time. You talk to the front desk, and they'll tell you there's an hour wait if you don't have a reservation. You look around and see open tables. You think: "that's odd". You check on the website and it says you can get a reservation for 15, 30, and 45 minutes from now. You select a reservation for 15 minutes from now, and magically there isn't an hour wait for you anymore. You note the still open tables and the line not moving. The restaurant is very loud. They're doing late 2010's industrial chic with not a soft surface in site and garage doors, so everybody's conversation bounces around indefinitely. You wait a while for a server to come. I find the way the food looks when it arrives is always different than the way it sounds when you read the menu - sometimes for better, and sometimes for worse. The coffee and bar menu is pretty decent for a brunch place. Prices are on the high end, though some are more reasonable than others. Then you get hit with a 3% credit card fee which isn't adequately disclosed on the menu or when you enter the restaurant.

While this place is relatively small (as one would expect a hole-in-the-wall donut shop to be), they've made impressive use of the space, as there's plenty of tables and chairs to sit at (even a couple on the outside of the establishment, for warmer temperature seasons than presently, aha). It was clean and modern. The employee working behind the counter was friendly and matched my enthusiastic energy, which was appreciated. There didn't seem to be a huge selection of donut varieties available (though I was also there after 11am, which might have something to do with that... this place is open until noon or until they run out of product, whichever comes first), but plenty enough to give me difficulty choosing which to get! All the donuts/baked goods seemed to be priced at $2.50 each. Not an outrageous sum, though more than I'd like... I fear the days of the $1 donut are nothing but a distant memory nowadays. Anyway, I grabbed two donuts and went on my merry way home. The employee put them in a nice wax paper coated baggie. The flavor of the donuts was good. Not addictively incredible, but yummy. There's a decent chance I'll be stopping by in the future simply because this place is along a route I typically take for running errands, and my sweet tooth may compel me to "reward" myself for running said errands, hehe!

They were very busy on Sunday at 11:30 a.m., so I highly recommend making a reservation. We had reservations and were seated promptly. With the large crowd and high-quality food, however, the service was a bit slow. I understand they were busy, but it took about 45-55 minutes for our food to arrive. I had a hangry 7-year-old waiting for pancakes, so I went to the bakery counter to get him a muffin and ordered a cinnamon roll to go. I was told they would bring both items to our table, but it would have saved a lot of time if they had simply handed them to me while I was already standing at the counter. I returned to the table, waited a few minutes, and then went back to ask if I could take the items to the table myself. By the time I returned with the muffin, our food had arrived. They need to find a way to speed things up, but we will definitely be back. Next time, though, I may order the food to go.
