There is some street parking as well as some paid ramps. I came in on a Saturday morning around 10AM. By then, it was busy, but I was able to still find a seat. The staff were kind and I think as pleased with the number of drink options as well as pastries - gluten free, too! I enjoyed a seasonal lemon bar latte (yum!) and a gluten free banana chocolate chip muffin. I will likely be back. The coffee is great, the parking situation is just a bit weird.

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.

Came to Nomadic Café for a quick "let me get my life together" study session... and ended up…read morestaying longer than planned. That's usually how you know a spot did its job. First things first--the vibe is chef's kiss if you're into cozy, low-key, intentional spaces. It's quaint without trying too hard, and it doesn't have that loud, chaotic coffee shop energy. I was actually able to focus, which says a lot. Now what really sets this place apart? It's tucked inside Zawadi Center, and that matters. This isn't just a grab-your-drink-and-go type of café. You're surrounded by culture, community, and a space that feels like it means something. Between the event space, the restaurant, and the overall energy, it feels layered... like you accidentally found a hidden gem that locals want to keep to themselves. The refresher? Solid. Did what it needed to do. No complaints there. If I had to give a little Yelp Elite honesty: seating can be a bit limited depending on timing, and if you're someone who needs complete silence, this might not be your spot when it gets busier. It's more "focused but alive" than "library quiet." Overall, this is the kind of place you come to reset, get a little inspired, and maybe romanticize your life for a couple hours. Will I be back? Absolutely.

We needed to sit down for spell after walking around here for over a few hours…read more We ordered a bottle of water and got a cold brew vanilla latte. The water is as expected. The cold brew latte is good with milk. It's a super busy stop inside the mall. Pop music in the background. Service was convenient and easy.

After spending some time shopping at Community Commons, I was ready for a beverage on a Sunday…read moreafternoon. I found this Caribou Coffee that was also on the second floor and headed inside. Being at Mall of America, you are never terribly far from a Caribou Coffee. There are six of them. The problem? Trying to figure out which one to check in to on the Yelp app is super confusing. My second check-in attempt was correct. Yay! This cafe is steps away from Radisson Blu Hotel, which is connected to the mall. I would find it both cool and deadly to roll out of bed in the morning and head over to this Caribou Coffee. It's also next to J. Jill, by Nickelodeon Universe. If you spot any one of these three places, you're near this cafe. The downside of this cafe is that it closes at 3 pm on weekdays and 4 pm on weekends. Considering that the stores at this mall tend to stay open between 7 and 9 pm, cutting it short so early is a concern. There was a lineup when I got to this cafe. I stood in line. It did move relatively quickly. I got a friendly woman at the counter. She took down my phone number associated with my perks points. I then ordered a large sparkling peach black tea. I paid with a credit card. I also tipped. Done! As I waited for my drink, I browsed around. I liked the drinkware and mugs at this store. There were plenty of snacks that looked yummy and intriguing. My drink didn't take long to be prepared. I thanked the woman when I got my drink in a Christmas-themed cup and looked for a place to sit. I oddly didn't feel cozy sitting on padded stools without any back support. Instead, there were comfy couch chairs in front of this store, so I sat there and enjoyed my drink. I loved my drink. It was perfect and fizzy. I actually sat in this cozy chair for an hour, casually sipping on my drink and figuring out which stores to shop at next. My experience was positive at this cafe. I'd return whenever I'm on the second floor and in this part of the mall. (469)

They serve large…read morecream puffs where you choose your shell and filling on a kiosk, which makes it fun to mix and match different combinations. I honestly love this place and there are so many options that I do not think I will ever get through all of them. The shop itself is clean and simple, and the mascot with the beard gives it a fun and slightly quirky feel. My go to orders are the éclair shell with vanilla filling and the original shell with chocolate filling. Pricing is a bit on the higher side, but that is pretty standard for Mall of America. There is not much interaction with staff since everything is ordered through a kiosk and they just call your name when it is ready. I would definitely recommend trying it at least once, even just for the experience of eating a giant cream puff.

YUMd: - caramel latte w. coconut milk. decent latte. now that I've become a regular coffee drinker, I've come to realize I like a lighter and less decadent coffee bean, not so dark and bitter, so I was pleased with the flavor of theirs. I've been switching from my regular oat milk to coconut milk recently and think I like oat better, so I'll have to come back to try it with oat. coconut milk can sometimes make the drink taste watered down to me. service, etc.: the baristas were friendly and sweet. full house on a Sunday afternoon and everyone was grinding out, which was perfect because sometimes I get overstimulated working in loud cafe's. grind cafe's are my fav. minus a star for seat comfort and finicky outlets but that's literally the only "issue"
