Feedback from students: tasty (chocolate sprinkle donut), sprinkly, just the right amount of sweetness (chocolate), good (chocolate), and we had a big fan of the chocolate filling.

Overall we had a great experience and thank DC for being so inclusive and supportive of all abilities. Based on feedback, it was the consensus that we would all recommend it.

Had a sister's brunch today and the celebrant sister chose Hope Breakfast Bar. Another sister and I were like darn, it was the choice lowest on the list for both of us. But on our drive there, we decided we'd both try something that we typically wouldn't try to see if it changed our views. I tried the breakfast sandwich. It was decent, not anything I'd ever crave. The bacon overpowered everything else, even the everything bagel! She did the egg farm grazer which was vegetables and quinoa topped with an egg. She said it was fine as well. Both of our meals were on par with previous experiences. Our two other sisters chose some sort of waffle. One was the hope waffle which was good, standard waffle with fruit. The other was chicken and waffles, the taste is decent but the portion was surprisingly large! 4 pieces of chicken with the waffle! As we finished with our meals, I was happy that we weren't disappointed with our food, so that was a win! But they watch your time so carefully. The moment we were sitting for 90 mins on the dot, they asked us to go. So if you're looking for a place to catch up with someone, don't let it be here!

It has not been converted and one of the new places inside is selling delicious coffee!! The space was modern and very clean! There is also a fair amount of seating here! This place has an awesome cause! They employ those that may have a harder time getting a job due to cognitive abilities. With that being said, be respectful, order a bit slower and if you need to repeat yourself, be patient! Everyone here was unbelievably sweet! The coffee was absolutely AMAZING! Starbucks has nothing on these guys! I got a blackberry vanilla latte iced with oatmilk (almond milk is the other nondairy option) IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! I want to try all of their specials now!! This is a "hidden gem" for Apple Valley! Definitely give this place a try!!

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.

This Caribou Coffee cafe is the closest one to my hotel. As much as I love the convenience of…read moredropping by the Starbucks cafe that's much closer to where I'm staying, I prefer coming here. Caribou Coffee to Minnesota is what Starbucks is to Seattle. The difference is that I can't get to the former anywhere in the States or Canada. I had signed up for the cafe's rewards program and have the app. The problem is that it doesn't accept a Canadian credit card to make payments. So, I end up driving over here and placing my order through the drive-thru. There is a parking lot in this smaller plaza, but parking spaces seem limited. The drive-thru isn't as busy as the Starbucks, which I like. Today was an exception. I had never been here in the morning. Ordering is easy. A staff member asks if you have a rewards card. You simply state your phone number associated with the rewards card and you're good. You then order. I have been here a.handful of times already. I love the mango black and tropical green iced teas. The beautiful thing about them is that they are unsweetened by default. You also have four sizes to choose from: small, medium, large, and extra large. I ended up getting a free drink on my second visit. I got an extra large mango black iced tea. It was yummy. The mango isn't strong, but it works well with the black tea. So refreshing! I love the tropical green iced tea. It has subtle pineapple notes. Staff are super friendly and apologize when things take longer than expected. So rare, but much appreciated. I love this place. One of these days, I'll get something to eat here! (439)

Cupcake is located in a large plaza. You can't miss the signage of a huge cupcake in blue and pink. I parked in one of the curbside pickup spots. I was picking up a takeout order and felt that it was fine. While waiting for a nice woman to fetch my order, I was looking at the desserts. This place has ice cream, macarons, and lots of baked goods. The chocolate croissant caught my attention. I knew that I needed to get one. When the woman returned with my Mason Jar Kitchen order, I asked if I could get the chocolate croissant. Yes! She got me one and placed it in a paper bag. I paid with a credit card. I also managed to include a tip. It was straightforward. I thanked the woman and headed back to the hotel to have lunch. I had the chocolate croissant as an afternoon snack. The croissant was okay. It was buttery, but it wasn't as flaky has I had hoped. It was more dense like a paperweight. I wanted flaky and airy. The chocolate was yummy. I prefer dark chocolate and loved it. I feel the need to go back and consume more items. The cakes and cheesecakes looked yummy. I was too early to take advantage of 50% off all pastries after 3 pm. I need to come back after this time and see if I can find a pastry that wows me. (459)

Updated review: Came back a second time with a friend and I'm honestly much more impressed. My…read morefirst visit didn't totally win me over, but this time the coffee was noticeably better and the overall experience felt more worth it. The space still has a slightly weird food hall vibe (not super cozy coffee shop energy), but the drinks are hand crafted. They use local beans, have handmade syrups, and offer a fun variety of specialty drinks that feel thoughtful and well made. One of my favorite details: the plants throughout the shop have names and many are for sale, which is such a fun, quirky touch and makes the space feel more intentional and unique. Overall, I'm glad I gave it another shot, much better experience the second time and definitely a cool local spot with personality.

Rough first impression for sure. This is one identity within a building called "Resolve Food Hall",…read morewhich is the main thing you'll notice as you approach the building. I was not sure I was even in the right place at first. Straight ahead as you enter is the coffee shop part of this place, and there is a touchscreen ordering panel but also a cashier. However, we came at 11am on a Saturday and wanted some of the brunch options. We were directed to a table in another part of the facility, given the full Curiouser menu, and abandoned for 30 minutes. No one talked to us again so we left and got brunch at another nearby establishment. I still hadn't had any coffee later that afternoon so I stopped by to try an easier scenario, and I had an excellent iced drink called Absolutely Alice. Perfect sweetness level for me; I like it sweet while still being able to get coffee flavor out of it. So I would definitely return for a coffee. The corners of the building that are meant to be associated with the coffee shop part of the business are nice; lots of plants and homey touches. But even though we did see servers taking orders at other tables, I don't think they have that down. I'd recommend coming here just for small orders at the counter.
