This is the first time I've been to this Starbucks location and the barista really impressed me…read more She was friendly and helpful (brought 4 kiddos with me and asked if they should have caffeine in their drinks) and instead of just yelling out my name on the order to pick up she delivered them to us. Everyone enjoyed their drinks (we got the pink drink, strawberry lemonade refresher, and the passion fruit mango refresher along with a WARM cookie) and all the kids were super happy. The tables were clean even though there were plenty of people in the cafe. It has good lighting and a nice vibe for working, reading, or catching up with a friend. It would be great to have some comfy places to sit too-it is mostly long benches with tables and chairs paired.

Came back everyday of my trip for my morning latte.

Sadly, I was somewhat disappointed and underwhelmed on my recent trip to Crisp & Green…read more My wife and I stopped here after arriving at MSP, as we were on the hunt for something relatively healthy on our way out of the city. Staff here was friendly and courteous, and the restaurant itself is inviting, cleanly, and vibrant. Unfortunately, during the ordering process, we found out that the store, for whatever reason, does allow you to substitute items. For example, one of the items we ordered was the Fiesta Bowl. The bowl comes with cabbage, which my wife isn't fond of, so we simply asked if we could get lettuce in place of the cabbage. When not one, but two, of the staff members told us no, we were a bit surprised, as it didn't seem like much of an ask. Anyways, we proceeded to order it with cabbage and, while the bowl was actually pretty good, the inability to substitute wasn't ideal. The other food item we ordered was the Pesto Primo sandwich. While it wasn't terrible, it certainly wasn't great. The bread was a bit bland, there wasn't much pesto, which made the sandwich dry, and overall it simply lacked the flavor we were hoping for. I really wanted to enjoy this place, but I'm not sure I'd make a trip back unless it was really the only nearby option that was somewhat healthy.

I was excited to come here after seeing positive reviews online and unfortunately, can't say I…read moreloved it. While the service was good, the food was nothing to write home about. To start, when we got our salad, we were unable to swap out cabbage with iceberg lettuce which I thought was strange. They said it was impossible because of the size of the salad which confused us so we just had to stick with cabbage. Second, I got a pesto sandwich, and it was cold and soggy. I wish there was a way we could have gotten it toasted or asked to get it toasted. The ambiance was nice, but again, the food definetly took over the rest of the experience here. Would probably not be back unfortunately.

There were two other people inside waiting for their drinks and the barista finished up their order before taking ours. We ordered the biscoff iced coffee that seems to be off the menu - at least the printed menus- a marshmallow mocha and a rose honey latte. The latte was very light on the flavor but the mocha and iced drink were both good. The space is cute but it seems it can get quite busy. There was only one person working so it got backed up quickly. As our drinks were being made another single customer and a group of 6 came in and I expect they were waiting quite a while. If your but in a rush, this is a cute space with good drinks but if you're in a hurry you might want to try another spot.

She looked very annoyed at being called and that made us feel uncomfortable. I asked if they had sample cups to try flavors. She said no. She also said "I don't know what to tell ya" when I asked how do we know which flavor to buy if I've never had. For context, I'm accustom to being provided sample cups or tasters of the special flavors at ALL other ice cream and froyo palors I wanted to try something new but this place doesn't offer samples like other parlors. I decided not to try them. My friend did try it and said it wasn't good. The flavors are mild tasty like sugary water. The attendant was rude AND the froyo was terrible. Not for me.

Not gonna lie, we expected a lot from Sugar Factory, considering all the hype they do…read more Bringing in celebrities to endorse them, the photo shoots of the delicious treats and the flashy restaurant interiors of pink and sparkles. We were so misled. This was a huge waste of time, and money. It seems to be one of those fad restaurants that people who think they have money, go to. The service was horrible!!!!! I'll say it again .... Horrible! The food was a fair price , until you got it, then you wondered what you were paying all that money for! After eating here, I read a few of the other reviews. I'm not saying anything here that hasn't already been said many times before. I also notice that most bad reviews get that same canned response of " we are sorry you didn't enjoy our amazing establishment, reach out to customer service... blah blah.." Maybe take these reviews a bit more seriously and live up to your own hype. I get why it was one of the only places in MOA that didn't have a 45 minute wait during the lunch hour. Do yourself a favor... skip this one.

We had a 7pm reservation on a Tuesday and when we sat down, there were maybe 3 other parties in the restaurant that seemed to be finishing up. It took 10 minutes for our server to come chat with us to ask if we wanted water and only offered drink suggestions after we prompted him asking him not to leave us yet. He shared he was the only serving working and we appreciated that heads up, however even with the grace we extended, it took 30 minutes before we received our drinks. We noticed other tables who were sat after us received their food before we even had our drinks. At that point, we decided to ask for our check when our margaritas came and then went somewhere else for our meal. This was my first time at a Sugar Factory and I was excited to try the fun, Insta-worthy food and desserts. Unfortunately, the service was not worth it. Now I will say, the passionfruit margarita and the watermelon margarita were delicious! And the decor was fun to look at while we watched others get their food and drinks unfortunately, the vibes were not enough to keep our business.

Now that there's one in Burnsville I will have a 10 minute drive HALLELUJAH! I tried the vegan mocha espresso today and while the flavor was good I wish it had a stronger coffee flavor and was a bit less chalky. My go-to is the vegan mango kale, such a good tasting green smoothie with a bit of protein, very thick and creamy! My husband got the pineapple surf and compared to when he's gotten it before it was pretty watery. It is their first day so we will give them some time to perfect it. Overall, the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. There were 3 seats with a long table to sit at inside. Nothing outside yet but I hope soon! It is a bit difficult to find because it's tucked around the corner of the holiday gas station. It's connected to LensCrafters and apparently a soon to be wing stop!

Then she added the juice and " blended" it again and it was still thick. It was NOT a smoothie to say the least the mango and ice were in big chunks.... NOT IMPRESSED specifically since she knew she made it wrong and it wasn't blended at all.... Money down the drain!
