This was a perfect quiet quaint coffee shop with delicious coffee. Their pumpkin chai was my favorite of the 4 flavors I ordered. My only complaint is that I wish they had a baby changing table in the bathroom lol. Things I wouldn't have even thought twice about a month ago. I loved the vibe of the interior. Lots of plants. Open seating with plenty of room. Lots of natural lighting. Very beautiful shop. Service was great!

Opened and owned…read moreby a young lady who works hard and has a very supportive family, it will be great to see how the endeavor goes. While there's room for more seating to come, the place is nice and clean. A couple of rooms where a small group could study or meet. A deck with a nice view of the lake. A seemingly simple and to the point menu for your coffee drinks. And, a few baked treats from a bakery the owner is supporting. If you are looking for a nice cup of coffee and supporting a new small town, local business, give Coffee Cove a try.

After seeing a viral video on tiktok, I knew I had to come find this place!…read more There is plenty of free parking in the lot. This place is actually a decent size but due to its popularity, it felt very crowded! So possibly plan on taking your drink to go. The service here was good and the man who made my drink was nothing short of a sweetheart! I got the raspberry cheesecake latte with oatmilk. This drink was over $11!! Not what I was expecting! Definitely the most expensive coffee I have gotten! Their menu seemed to have lots of unique and tasty coffees and items! I'd love to come back and try more. Despite the cost, the coffee was very tasty! In my opinion, this is one of the best coffee shops in the twin cities!

Tried the banana bread oat milk latte at The Fox and Pantry and I loved it!…read more The large is definitely pricey at $9.95 (hence, my 4/5 stars) and especially considering how busy the shop gets, it's not something I'd personally order every day! But as an occasional treat, it was worth trying. The latte comes topped with cold foam, syrup drizzle, and dried banana slices, which made it feel extra fun and unique. It really did taste like banana bread in latte form. The decor inside is super cute and cozy too. Definitely a fun spot to try if you're looking for a specialty coffee drink!

The past couple visits I've had even though I've tipped I get the most monotone disinterested interaction I'm not a boomer but holy sh*t at least say have a good day. You're making your own shift more insufferable for yourself doing this. My passive aggressive customer service out the window 10 minutes before close order behavior is more friendly than this caribou. They forgot to put a splash of heavy cream in my iced americano (how bruh) and gave me the wrong cream cheese (you even have them labeled). I get better service at the caribou in Maplewood where several shoots have happened nearby and I've seen people fent leaning across the street from. Only in town visiting this is my last visit to this caribou :/

Garbage. Pure and utter garbage…read more I had heard so many good things about this chain's coffee that I have to ask: what happened? Either the coffee used to be better or everyone I know raving about this place has questionable tastebuds. The coffee that I ordered was a white chocolate mocha and it just felt off. As if the milk was not in the best condition or perhaps the melange of flavors did not work. It also didn't help that I kept comparing them to another coffee chain with a mermaid if you catch my drift. Will say that the food options were much better. Was able to get a plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese, but eh, that alone isn't enough to save this coffee chain. It's a shame, too, as they have way more options than the norm and the staff was pleasant. Oh well.

An attractive pleasant dining spot with outdoor seating and modern interior. The menu of food and drinks is vast, especially the latest trend in mixing non-coffee drinks with fruit flavors. There is also a cooler with sodas and real root beer. Some sandwiches have a little spice, not to worry, even some Scandinavians would be able to brag of having "just a little smear", so as not to feel decadent. Creative sandwiches, Buffalo turkey with a creamy sauce, cheese on toasted bun, you get the vibe. Once you quickly figure out the dangerous parking lot wedged between two angled streets and shared closely with a neighboring business casually stroll in.

I also got the iced caramel latte ($4.15) and I didn't really like that, the caramel was too overpowering with its artificial taste. I'll have to come back to try a boba and donut.

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.
