I thought that sounded delicious and refreshing and it was. A perfect combo of sweet and tart. While there was plenty of seating inside in the cool air, I opted for an outdoor setting.

Walking in, it was very warmly designed and had plenty of space and seating options from solo or group settings. There's some outlet options around as needed as well. The menu was around the top front counter with baked goods for viewing. I wanted to try their signature drink Arise. The staff was welcoming and assisted promptly and explained to me that it was like a latte with cinnamon swirl syrup which sounded great to me. It's definitely a nice spot to stop by if you're in the area!

This place is great!…read more We stopped by on a Tuesday morning, and I was surprised by how large the inside was. It's not gigantic, but I was expecting it to be much smaller based on what I had heard about the place. I ordered the Waffle Latte and absolutely loved it. I would definitely get it again. My wife ordered an iced mocha with an extra shot, and she really enjoyed hers as well. We also decided to try a white chocolate raspberry scone. My wife loved it. I thought it was good, but not quite great. We also ordered a garlic bagel with cream cheese. I really liked that and would potentially order it again, although next time I may try a plain bagel just for comparison. The staff was super nice. They genuinely seemed happy to be there, which is honestly a bit surprising these days when it comes to customer service. The positive attitude definitely added to the experience. Overall, I really don't have much negative to say. Sure, it's a little pricey, but I feel like I say that in almost every review nowadays. Food and drinks outside the house are just stupid expensive these days, so compared to other coffee shops, the pricing here felt relatively fair. Yeah, I don't know. I really don't have many complaints. Great drinks, friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere. I'm giving them 5 out of 5 stars, and I'll definitely be back.

I've seen great reviews for BlueNose Coffee so I had to check it out! They had a drive thru but I…read morewent inside to order. They have a cozy atmosphere and is a nice spot to enjoy a morning drink. I ordered a blue nose mocha and a believin' berry buzz dirty soda along with a blueberry scone. The scone was subtly sweet and pretty dense. It was a great choice of bakery item. The mocha was super sweet. It almost tasted more like a latte than a mocha. The sugary flavors drown out the espresso bitterness. I'd order something else next time since the sugar rush was a lot. Since Farmington has been known to consume the most Mountain Dew per capita in the US I ordered a Mountain Dew based dirty soda. With all the added flavors of this drink I kind of forgot it was Mountain Dew. Like everything else this was a super sugary drink but was nice to try due to the novelty of the drink.

This place is pretty good. If you're reading this review trying to decide if you should stop by, I…read morewould say definitely stop by and give it a try. Support small business. Pros: my wife ordered a cold brew coffee flight. I got to try all these and I really like them! We had a spicy cowgirl, the almond one, and then a chocolate one I forgot the name of. All great. We also ordered their southwest breakfast burrito to share. That was good too. Maybe not $12 for a burrito good, but good! Cons: I'm more of a hot coffee person and ordered a mocha. It's clear that maybe iced coffee is the focus for Idioma. The mocha was really watery and probably the worst mocha I've ever had. Next time, I'll stick to iced coffee but I hope they expend their menu to include some hot drinks. They should compete with Tapestry across the street (offer hot coffee and do it well), while also differentiating (specializing in iced coffee/food options). The staff was amazing too. Nice, kind, attentive. The owner should consider some sort of marketing campaign for nearby Lakeville residents. Maybe partner with a marketing company to send a postcard in the mail that lets local Lakeville people know this is a new coffee shop is in the area. Offer a two dollar coupon in the mailer. Something like that - we had no idea this place existed. Price wise, not great, but also not terrible. Like I said, the burrito was more expensive than it should've been. The coffee prices were mostly OK and in line with what you'll pay anywhere else. It's a small shop too. Maybe one day they'll be able to rearrange for a bit more seating (there's only one actual table). Really nice and well kept though. Clean. I hope this place succeeds and I will likely be back, although I won't be getting any sort of hot drink again.

Seemingly rich-flavor from iced-coffee was a pleasant treat and the English muffin/Sausage egg sandwich was simple but VERY tasty. I'm not in love with the ambiance (i.e. only one [kittywampus] table + chair set, a couch and pair of chairs thrown in), but I don't think they're trying to be a "hangout" location for coffee drinkers. Still, the food is good and the drinks are quite nice. Hard to beat.

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!!

They have lots of different seating options along with games and books, so it feels like somewhere you can actually stay awhile rather than grab your coffee and leave.

I was absolutely thrilled when I discovered Café de Paris in Apple Valley. It's surprisingly…read moredifficult to find a truly high-quality bakery around here, and after one too many supermarket "French" baguettes and bake-at-home loaves, this place was exactly what I'd been looking for. The bread is fantastic--crusty, fresh, and authentically French. They also have an incredible selection of beautiful pastries, cakes, and other classic French treats that look like they came straight out of a Parisian pâtisserie. And the coffee is absolutely exquisite. One thing that always makes me smile is that while the pastries look and taste authentically French, they're definitely American-sized! They're enormous. If you're hungry, you're in for a treat. More often than not, I'll enjoy half of one there with a coffee and take the rest home in a box for later. It's a wonderful little café with a relaxed atmosphere and a great place to sit and unwind. If you're in the Apple Valley area and looking for something a little different--something with a genuine European feel--I can't recommend Café de Paris highly enough. I'll definitely keep coming back.

Decided to give this place a try after being in the area. Quick review: Food was VERY tasty!…read moreService and ambiance... definitely lacking.... I walked in and saw you could either order on a large touch screen on with a person at the front. I don't mind touch screens, so I went to start my order. The problem is that there are no pictures... so you're not 100% sure what you are ordering. I stopped the order and walked over to the case to order with the employee instead. There was one woman in front of me and she got her items quickly. I ordered 5 items. (See pic below) All of them were fantastic! I really do judge a place by how well they can do a croissant, and this place does them very well!! The employees were very polite but for some reason my order took almost 15 mins to fill... I watched them pull the items from the case, so I'm not sure why it took them so long to do the order. There was only one other person who ordered after me and she had a drink and a box of pastries too... she received her items first. As for the space, it is bland and feels like an old Carribou coffee.... There really wasn't anything that felt "Paris or French" here. Very bland and not very cozy. If you plan on going(the food was very good) order it to go...
