By far my favorite coffee shop in Central Minnesota! One of…read morethe most important features of a coffee shop is the atmosphere, and The Local Blend does not disappoint! Mixing a tasteful blend of tradition and contemporary with wooden tables and chairs with brightly painted walls and their distinct "cosmic" mugs, enjoying a talk with a friend or focusing to study for that next exam has never been more enjoyable! Their coffee and tea selections are varied with local, organic blends that never fail to impress me! I specifically recommend their cold brew, whatever roast is available, with a touch of milk on a hot summer day! Finally, their pastries and food selections are always changing, with a steadfast dedication to incorporating local bakeries and baking scones, cakes, and other treats in-house. The almond croissants from Backwards Bread Baking Co. are to die for! You will not be disappointed with this quintessential Central Minnesotan local, organic coffee shop!

Never tried food from Hawaii? Definitely check this place out…read more Love to see more Hawaiian food in Minnesota!! They have a small menu with just a few items to choose from. BBQ chicken, Teri Beef, or get them both in a mixed plate. You can even get fried rice. Plus, make sure to try the poke because the flavor is on point. You can essentially try the whole menu if you order the mixed plate with fried rice and a poke bowl! Located in a food hall, so pay with a card at the front or order from your phone at a table. They have a bunch of beers, ciders, and wine on tap and a bunch of other food to try. Just some small things that I wish were different about the food (my credentials: born and raised in Hawaii, moved to Minnesota just a couple years ago): I felt like the mixed plate should have two scoops of rice. For $22, there's a lot of protein, except the Teri beef was the tiniest piece in my opinion. So I feel like two scoops would have better fit the portion and the price. Plus, if you go to any place in Hawaii and get a large plate, it definitely comes with two scoops of rice!! The poke was good, but mangoes, carrots, and the other added toppings make it feel like mainland style poke rather than Hawaii style. Plus, for $17, I wish there was more rice (you get a single scoop) and not a bed of cabbage at the bottom to fill the bowl. I didn't get it, but $4 for a spam musubi. In the end, it was still great food. And there are very little places with Hawaiian food in Minnesota. I'd still recommend it to anyone in town.

We stop in today and tried his Spam Musubi as well as the pineapple bbq chicken plate and teriyaki beef plate. The flavors are amazing and his Hawaiian background cooking definitely comes through. When you come in you use a credit card and the give you a card with your name and you go scan which ever beer or wine by the oz and food from each place and they change you when your done. As a food competitor myself I know food and highly recommended take time and stop here the staff and food are amazing.

And I did forget a coffee shop. When you go in you see a person and they swipe your credit card which approves a card they give you to go order. Then you go to the options. Which include you swiping your card to get beers and premixed cocktails from an automated bar! Some folks might need an IT Rep with them. Food was good. The staff was very helpful. I will be back. Cool concept in a relatively small populated area of St Joseph MN. Go check it out.
