My friend told me that Blueberry had a really good drink called Strawberry Summer. We got that and my other friend ordered Brown sugar boba. The drinks were fairly priced (cash only), and good. They were a bit busy the day we went but the line went quick and drinks came out reasonably fast. Didn't have much interaction with the staff but they seemed cool.

Located within Hmong village in the back where all of the food stands are, across one of the soup…read moreplaces is this Boba spot. My friends that are local said that they're caramel delight is one of there better flavors, it has ice blended with milk, caramel pudding, and boba pearls. It's a pretty large cup but very refreshing and not too sweet if you're afraid it's too sweet. They made the drinks pretty quickly and it's perfect to get after having a full meal at Hmong Village. Service is also very quick and it's just a store front, not sure if it's cash only but a lot of the vendors there are cash only. I would try any of of their other drinks on the menu, their strawberry summer looks good and they have additional toppings that can also be added.

Oh I KNOW you're going to like this place. It is a great coffee shop with nice coffee drinks and…read moresome hot breakfast food. PLUS, it is a very nice record store! Great selection; I spotted a couple of records that I don't find often. And they have cassette tapes! I am very much of the cassette tape generation and I can confirm that those janky little rectangles don't have the same nostalgia appeal as big, pretty disks, but it's cool that they are offered! If you are just interested in checking out a record store I think you'll be satisfied here. But I like coffee shops and I loved my coffee and my breakfast sandwich. I got the Caramel Creme Brulee latte which was delicious. They even singe the top like a real creme brulee! It sounds like it will be too sweet but it isn't; great flavor balance with the coffee flavor not being overtaken. They sell a variety of beans as well. There is a nice sidewalk patio area, and it's a comfortable, chill hangout spot in this lively urban neighborhood. I like it very much here!

This might be the cutest shop in St. Paul. I absolutely love the vibes at Caydence…read more It's part record store and part coffee shop, and both sides are done so well. The record selection is amazing with a great mix of new and used records, plus a super fun section of $2 records where you can fill a bag and find some real gems. The coffee is excellent. The breakfast sandwich is house made and prepared fresh for you, and everything we tried was delicious. The caramel brulee latte is truly something special. It has a full cap of caramelized sugar on top and is honestly exquisite. Service is outstanding. Friendly faces, quick service, and such a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere. There are lots of seating options and plenty of natural light, making it a great place to hang out, relax, work a bit, or browse records. Overall just a fun, feel-good spot that combines great coffee, great music, and great people. One of those places you leave already planning to come back.

I managed to snag the LAST cinnamon roll! I am taking the fact it was the last in to account. It wasn't the freshest - and an outside corner piece - so it was a bit dry and hard. However, it turns out the roll is just an easy way to get the frosting in your face. Omg. Delicious, buttery amazing frosting. (Which they did frost at the time of purchase). The place is small but they have an upstairs as well as a nice garden patios.

SUPER cute coffee shop with a very impressive menu of breakfast fare. I got a breakfast called…read more"Hashbrown Bake Platter" whose name undersells itself; the potato part was a delicious, savory cake with hash browns, cheese, bacon, and sausage in an ideal ratio. It also came with perfectly done scrambled eggs and toast. I got a unique latte as well; I asked the barista for her favorite and wound up with a raspberry & dark chocolate latte that had a surprising shock of bitterness. It was great. You will probably really like the ambience. It appears to have been built out of a lovely Victorian home in Dayton's Bluff, and there is plenty of upstairs seating including cute tables on the landings. There is also a very green patio. Friendly service tops it all off nicely. Their only not-open day is Tuesday, so bear that in mind. There is neighborhood street parking which you may have to hunt around a bit for. I really think you'll enjoy hanging out here!

I had a fantastic Mexican Mocha that's probably the best mocha I've had in months (and I have a borderline-embarrassing amount of mochas). They do have some proper savory offerings including a slate of empanadas that I'm eager to try. This time I just got a simple ham and cheese croissant, but it was perfect and I would definitely get that again. Exceptionally friendly service, very comfortable, I just love it.

It's unfortunate that there is so much construction in front of the place. Don't let that deter you from entering. It's awesome!

This is a small coffee shop almost to the downtown area. There is neighborhood parking all around(free) just make sure you are reading the signs correctly. As I walked in, it had such a cozy and welcoming feeling. The brick, smell of coffee and people chatting really gave this a classic coffee shop vibe! Almost like being in a book! The service... i asked for my coffee iced and to have oat milk. Neither of those requests were fulfilled. Now, I do like hot coffee, so I didn't complain and I will say the coffee was delicious. The temp was perfect for drinking right away. I am lactose intolerant, so I didn't realize I didn't get my oat milk until after I left if you catch my drift haha. The person taking my order seemed frazzled and wasn't very friendly. I had also ordered another baked goods but I guess she didn't hear because upon checking my receipt, it wasn't listed. It wasn't overly busy, but may be she was new? Not sure, but it did leave a bit of a bad taste for this place. The scone was very tasty and I would recommend getting it warmed up. I would give this place a try again, but it's not a place I plan to visit again soon.
