We had a flaky pastry with cheese and egg - excellent and not too heavy! We also had their last caramel cream filled crumpet - also excellent and it is filled so plan how you eat it. Everything else looked so good, including their bakery bread, that I wanted one of each but was pretty sure that would not have worked traveling. The place was nothing special (yet) but it was clean and had cute tables and chairs as well as counter seating for when it gets busier. It also had parking around the building AND a drive through window (for those familiar with the bakery choices or just wanting a beverage). I was not in on the initial encounter with the counter person but my husband wasn't thrilled with the interaction. Not sure which side of the counter the breakdown occurred but it is true that she didn't smile or seem to want to be there and was a bit curt when asked to warm our egg pastry. The manager stepped in immediately to make sure our pastry was warmed in an oven for a minute. (They, THANKFULLY don't use microwaves which was fine by me.) It was perfect. If ever I'm in Minot, I'll make a point of coming here with a much bigger appetite!

Something to note off the bat, everything here is scratch-made & fresh... yes, they run out of…read moreitems & once they're out, they're out for the day. You absolutely cannot show up an hour before close and expect a full case, or even that day's lunch offer, (which I never order anyway.) Personally, I love that for 2 reasons: less food waste & it motivates you to get there before they run out. With that out of the way, on to the "good stuff" & I do mean that both literally & figuratively. I'll note they are listed as French pastries, this is important, as it sets an expectation comparatively to, say, the local donut shop/ the other "bread (pastry) shop" - &, they are very different styles, indeed. Humble brag moment, International traveler here & I've had the pleasure of some amazing pastries. These guys do fit the French-style that they're boasting about. They made a solid almond croissant & have some tasty savory rotations, as well as sweet. Their crepes are my favorite eat-out breakfast item in town. They offer both sweet & savory options, another bonus, as I'm a savory gal. In short, i probably don't go here as often as I should

They really have everything that you could ever want and more and the store is massive! I ended up getting a winter jacket and a sweatshirt on sale and have heard that a great time to get winter clothing is during this time of year. I love getting a deal so was happy with their sale rack selection of warmer weather clothing. The service was great and everyone that worked there was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

The gal working the register asked what kind of dog we had upon seeing the chews & when we said none, she raised an eyebrow & glanced at the antlers. We explained they were for the squirrels- to try to keep them from chewing on other things. It wasn't busy at that time & we carried on a brief, relaxed conversation before heading out. The gift cards are name your total - easy breezy & the chews were priced reasonably compared to other stores/ ordering online. Clearly, friendly staff!

If nothing else, it's worth going through to see what weird things you find.

Caribou Coffee 1930 S Broadway St, Minot, ND 58701…read moreMarch 16, 2021 Tuesday - 9:45 AM for a drink 1 Adult Atmosphere - 3 stars My Drink- 4 stars Service - 4 stars Background - I was out and about this morning and had some time to kill, what better way than sipping on some coffee.  I was actually going to a small local drive up shack but when I arrived it was closed. Atmosphere - So this Caribou Coffee is inside of Market Place grocery store.  Seems to be the norm now to have a coffee shop inside a grocery store. What makes this one a bit different is that it has a drive up window.  Normally I would not rate a drive thru but this one was very weird.  What is weird is that the drive up window is on the front side of the grocery store.  There is no wrapping around the building.  On a busy day the cars block people from going into and from the grocery, which it has happened to me.  Just weird, like I want to dodge cars waiting to get their coffee with my loaded grocery cart. My Drink - I am simple, I drink black coffee at home.  So my crazy treat for myself at a chain coffee place is a large hot mocha .  I rather sit inside, sip my coffee from a mug.  But with COVID and the time constraint I used the drive thru.  Nothing special  about the mocha, it was a little sweeter than I like. Service - It is what you expect from a drive thru, fast and accurate. Future - Probably for a liquid morning treat.

On a recent visit, I happily handed over hard earned money for a top. After one wash (I followed…read morethe directions on the label) the top was a shrunken, wrinkled mess. I returned to the store, unaware that they do not stand behind the quality of their products. They do not accept returns on washed merchandise...Jen was condescending (kept calling me hun) and argumentative (insisting there was no shrinkage). She volunteered to stream the top in an effort to prove there was nothing wrong with the quality, but finally gave up and recommended I iron it. I told her I wasn't happy with the condition after a single wash and wanted to return it, which she refused to accept. Lesson learned, I won't go back.

The barista genuinely cared about what we asked for and it showed in every cup she made--they make some of the smoothest, best-tasting coffee and tea around. The shop is spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, making it a perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. Their specialty drinks are creative without being overly sugary. What truly sets Uffda Bean apart is the people. The staff takes time to connect, and creates a sense of community that you can feel. Burlington is incredibly fortunate to have a local business with this kind of quality and heart. If you're anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and stop in.
