    Love the vibe in here!

    Updating to add: we have now had all the empanada flavors and more drinks, and they're all delightful. Favorite empanadas are the pineapple, spicy beef, and the breakfast. The drinks are great. I love their seasonal options, but their standard menu is solid too. I really like their house made chai tea and their horchata. I love that they do just about everything in house. Always clean, always friendly. It has quickly become our go to for drinks and a bite to eat!

    This is my new favorite local coffee shop! The empanadas are very good. Salty, savory and crispy. My favorite is the breakfast empanada but the spicy beef is a close second. The mocha I had was also very delicious. It was rich and creamy but not overly sweet. The service is very friendly and helpful. This place is such a gem, truly a must try!

    Great coffee, empanadas and service! The Horchata with espresso was so tasty! Never had that combo before and cant wait to try it again! The empanadas were great deal at 3 for $10! The spicy beef was my favorite! The place is small but cozy.

    A very cozy Costa Rican inspired coffee shop serving espresso, horchata and even empanadas! The barista was so friendly and offered suggestions and helpful tips. My Chocolate Truffle Mocha was delicious and the included truffle was an extra bonus! The place is small but had a lot of seating options! The empanadas were delicious too! Local gem definitely worth checking out!

    Love this place and such a cute little shop! Their coffee is so smooth and flavorful, and the homemade chai is amazing! It has the right amount of spice and not too sweet. The cold brew is strong in the best way, and their empanadas are a must-try. The breakfast one is my favorite. The staff are so friendly and really know their coffee.

    I came here during opening week and they were ready for a full house! The coffees and energy drinks were good. The space was clean and they have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating! I just visited Costa Rica a week ago, so I was excited to get in here and see the similarities of what I just experienced there. The reason I gave 4 stars is because there are a few ways they make coffee in Costa rica that were not implemented here. I would love to see the chorreador being used and a chemex at the table to create more of an experience than just another coffee shop. Overall, super nice owner and wife team and I can't wait to see what they add to the brick and mortar store in Rosemount.

    “Empanadas are $4 but they have a combo 3 for $10 so I got 3 of each flavor, the spicy beef, pineapple, chicken and breakfast.”

    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.

    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.
