Wow, this cafe absolutely wins at ambiance. This is a cute-as-heck coffee and brunch place that was…read moreclearly converted from a Victorian home in Eden Prairie. I had an awesome breakfast burrito and their awesome Tirimasu Latte (iced), and they have other offerings that will lure me from St Paul for future visits. Specifically, now that I am mourning the loss of Sun Street Breads and its Thursday Night Pizza Night, I'll have to try Smith's version of that. But I'll probably come back for brunch on a weekend pretty soon and get more coffee, as well as something from their bakery. But also, yes, brunch; the eggs in my burrito were really perfect. I was there at around noon on a Sunday; peak busy times so parking was a little hairy but I eventually found a spot. I absolutely recommend coming with a bunch of pals and hanging out for a good long time, but maybe don't all drive separately if it's noon-ish on a weekend. They have a lovely patio area which was well-populated, even on this extra-sunny mid-February day. If you like adorable cafes, you will definitely love this place.

On a WFH Friday, our internet was being "upgraded" aka xfinity had a outage in the area for a…read morewhile... I immediately started looking at coffee shops that I could relocate to in order to work. I had been wanting to go try Smiths for a while but the opportunity just never presented itself despite being just down the road. I arrived and the driveway leading to the parking lot was lined with cars, but I was able to find a spot in the parking lot after a minute or so. It was definitely a full lot for sure. The location is absolutely adorable as this is a historic house. It was once a Dunn Brothers, but I do love that it is its own thing now rather than a chain. They had a outdoor patio that people were enjoying but it was a bit chilly for working and sitting outside, one person even had a dog which I LOVE! Inside the front door you are greeted with a welcoming counter that you can order. I opted to try the salted caramel iced latte. If you are consuming there (which I was) they give you a number to bring to your table and they bring the drink. I really liked this idea especially in the aspect of not having to stand and wait for a drink. The price was a bit high (7.55 for a 16 oz with $1 tip), but then again everything is getting expensive these days. I walked back to the seating area and there are essentially 3 rooms downstairs, I walked through all 3 to see where working would be ideal. I went upstairs but there was a woman in the room so I assumed it was a group that was meeting or something so I opted to not investigate further. I found seating downstairs in what felt like the quietest part, but there were a lot of people there talking and the acoustics were not exactly fantastic. I did have a call which I took via teams and air pods and discovered the sound in the room was actually really not awesome for a meeting as it was quite loud and the wifi was not strong enough to support the video on the teams call. So would I recommend working from Smith, not if you have a meeting, but if you are looking for a place that has some background noise, I guess... However this is certainly a place that is perfect for meeting someone and enjoying breakfast or coffee and I love that. I did not order food this time, but everything I saw get delivered looked delicious. I also noticed they have a pizza night on Thursday nights and immediately made a note of that for a date night with the hubby.

The candied almond and nutty white mocha both had an odd taste to them, and really wasnt for me- but I bet if youre a big almond/nutty flavored person- youre going to love it! The cherry chocolate didnt have much of a flavor, atleast the cherry. But the Snowflake really took it home and was amazing. The portions are great if youre looking to try something new! (Take note, I have Oat milk in all of these, if that changes the flavor- im not sure). Ambiance of the place is great to work at and we sat for a few hours!

I had some time to kill before an event at Eden Prairie Mall, so I headed over to this spot to get…read morea little work done and read my book! There is plenty of parking in the lot outside of Qamaria! The interior is well-done, with elevated finishes and themed decor. I was excited because it looked like a cozy place to grab a coffee! The staff were not very friendly during my ordering process, and just seemed not happy to be at work. Unfortunately, the wifi didn't work for me, so I couldn't actually complete any work. I stuck to reading my book, which was great until they started playing music inside (randomly like an hour after I got there). Now music in a coffeeshop is fine, but this music was staticy, skipped often, and was incredibly distracting. I eventually just got up and continued reading in my car because the workers either couldn't fix it or didn't know how. The Pistachio latte had good pistachio flavor, but I have qualms with a coffeeshop that charges $8 for a latte, and then proceeds to slop it together...no foam, no latte art, and so hot that the milk was scalded. In a world where there is a coffee shop on every corner, you can find better elsewhere for sure. I don't mind paying top dollar for a latte these days, but I deserve it to be well-done.

We came to Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co. hoping to try their famous Dubai pistachio croissant, but it…read morewas sold out. Thankfully, the pistachio milk cake and pistachio cream cake more than made up for it. Both were rich, creamy, and beautifully flavored with real pistachio and just the right amount of sweetness. The milk cake was soft and soaked perfectly, while the cream cake had a light texture and layered pistachio flavor that felt indulgent but not heavy. The coffee and tea options on the menu looked incredible and unique, especially the traditional Yemeni blends. The atmosphere was calm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy dessert. We'll definitely be back, hopefully next time they'll have that pistachio croissant waiting for us.

The interior was welcoming, with a fun, casual vibe that made it easy to settle in and enjoy being there. The layout felt open and relaxed, making it a great spot to hang out. I was really impressed by the drink offerings and, especially, the ice cream selection. As an avid Sebastian Joe's fan, I was thrilled to see they carry Sebastian Joe's ice cream flavors in addition to Kemps. It was such a fun and unexpected surprise and definitely a highlight of the visit.

Looked like they had a decent assortment of baked goods as well & very reasonably priced. The space was generally quiet and chill. Wasn't super busy but seemed like a place everyone goes to work. Parking is easy, large parking lot not too far away. Connected to a Church.

I had to think when growing up it may have been considered some kind of sin to suggest serving coffee and light food in a church. "John how dare you spew blasphemy", Sister Mary Francis would say. A very friendly setting that is uber clean. There was a cleaner working while I was there and then someone came from the elevator with more cleaning equipment. I saw a nice display of pastries but tried the pre made sandwich which was still fresh. They feature a light and dark roast in the standard three sizes. The dark roast, which the barista suggested, had a deep roasted flavor with a non-acidic aftertaste. They asked if I would wait while they made a fresh brew for me, and I was glad to have the drink minutes fresh. As great as the product was the attraction is the airy, arty walls and soft lighting for a relaxing almost, shall we say, spiritual awakening. Ok a bit of hyperbole.
