    Latte with maple and vanilla.
    Morgan W.

    The most delicious coffee and breakfast! I stopped in on a Friday morning and ordered the quiche of the day and a latte with their homemade maple and vanilla syrup. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. The staff were super friendly and it did not take long at all for our food and drink to come out. The inside of the Cafe was super cute and even had a little shop inside where you could buy handcrafted items. Definitely recommend visiting!

    Lovely atmosphere, a lot of seating, great coffee and food options. It's probably one of the largest coffee shops I've been to. It had different areas with different vibes but overall is very open and well designed. The coffee options seem to be of high quality and the food health conscious. My only complaint is their patio customer service. I had to ask two times for a glass to fill up my own water and each time they pointed out that all their glasses were dirty and needed washing. The second time they questioned if I was really thirsty and needed water right away. I said I was thirsty so they reluctantly gave me a plastic to go cup. I understand they are probably trying to avoid using plastic but I waited quite a while and was truly thirsty. Their attitudes just seemed a bit snobbish and like they didn't want to be bothered. Other than that the food was good but not cheap and the late I got was pretty good. I'd give them another try because it's such a unique place.

    Con Panna with bonus sparkling water for palate cleanse.

    Excellent espresso drinks, great service. Nice little blend of shops, plus Almanac Coffee beans.

    Love the atmosphere here! Highly recommend the chia seed pudding which is phenomenal!! The iced coffee was great also!

    Best mac and cheese of my entire life. I will be dreaming of this creamy, dreamy concoction everyday for, well, forever probably. It was that good. Pasta was kinda mushy but that's how I like it. The sauce was velvety. The mixed green side salad and it's tangy vinaigrette were the perfect accompaniment. The register is adorned on either side with fresh baked goods: cookies, brownies, rice krispie treats, etc. How could I say no to such tempting baked goods? So obviously I had to buy three: a breakfast cookie, a ginger cookie, and a browned butter chocolate chip cookie. I am saving them for the 11 hour drive back to Missouri tomorrow and that makes the idea more bearable. They also offered alcohol, cafe style drinks, and a beautiful sounding quiche of the day. Wish I could visit more often!

    Dovetail Cafe never fails to make my mornings. I love going there to get a hot drink and one of their many baked goods. One of my favorite things to order is the Chai Tea Latte and their Pumpkin Bread. The atmosphere of Dovetail is also why it keeps me coming back. They provide a rustic and friendly atmosphere. They provide free books to read and free games to play. Along with crafts and artwork that is available to buy. One of my favorite things at Dovetail is the large windows. I love the natural light and the warmth that comes from the windows. The service is also wonderful. The workers create a welcoming environment and ordering is clear and easy.

    Salmon Salad

    As someone just traveling through Duluth, this was restaurant was amazingly friendly and open. The food was good, and the staff was incredibly friendly. I had the salmon salad, which tasted very fresh and delicious. The shop inside offered fun little trinkets as well, although I didn't end up getting anything.

    Mocha and Latte

    I LOVE Dovetail. The coffee/ hot chocolate is amazing. The service is always great- very friendly and helpful when deciding what to order. Very good about dietary restrictions- many vegetarian/ dairy free/ gluten free options. They play great music and the decor is so cute. It feels like you're in a log cabin! And there literally is a little log cabin inside!! You have to check this place out :)

    Toast 3 Ways ($7), vegan if ordered that way. Excellent homemade bread. Nice lemony tahini with avocado. Fresh.

    Food was sub par and overpriced. Would not dine again. Possible the worst breakfast place in town. :(
