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!

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.

It's difficult to see the screen unless you're standing right by the cashier, so I ended up looking at the menu online while waiting to order. I ordered the small oat milk Apple Pie Latte, and it was delicious! It had a subtle apple pie flavor, and the dried apple garnish on top was such a cute touch. I also tried the Honey Granola with yogurt, which made for a light and satisfying breakfast. The café was clean, spacious, and made for a great place to sit down, enjoy my coffee, and get some reading done. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the parking lot was convenient and easily accessible. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely stop by again!

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!

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.

You can NEVER get a seat in this place. It's full to the brim with entitled 20 somethings using the tables as their own personal office space. It's shocking to look around and see all of the people at the Lobby that either don't have a drink or food or have long since finished. One person at a fourtop. One person at a 6 top. It makes me insane

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.

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.

On a WFH Friday, our internet was being "upgraded" aka xfinity had a outage in the area for a…read morewhile... I immediately started looking at coffee shops that I could relocate to in order to work. I had been wanting to go try Smiths for a while but the opportunity just never presented itself despite being just down the road. I arrived and the driveway leading to the parking lot was lined with cars, but I was able to find a spot in the parking lot after a minute or so. It was definitely a full lot for sure. The location is absolutely adorable as this is a historic house. It was once a Dunn Brothers, but I do love that it is its own thing now rather than a chain. They had a outdoor patio that people were enjoying but it was a bit chilly for working and sitting outside, one person even had a dog which I LOVE! Inside the front door you are greeted with a welcoming counter that you can order. I opted to try the salted caramel iced latte. If you are consuming there (which I was) they give you a number to bring to your table and they bring the drink. I really liked this idea especially in the aspect of not having to stand and wait for a drink. The price was a bit high (7.55 for a 16 oz with $1 tip), but then again everything is getting expensive these days. I walked back to the seating area and there are essentially 3 rooms downstairs, I walked through all 3 to see where working would be ideal. I went upstairs but there was a woman in the room so I assumed it was a group that was meeting or something so I opted to not investigate further. I found seating downstairs in what felt like the quietest part, but there were a lot of people there talking and the acoustics were not exactly fantastic. I did have a call which I took via teams and air pods and discovered the sound in the room was actually really not awesome for a meeting as it was quite loud and the wifi was not strong enough to support the video on the teams call. So would I recommend working from Smith, not if you have a meeting, but if you are looking for a place that has some background noise, I guess... However this is certainly a place that is perfect for meeting someone and enjoying breakfast or coffee and I love that. I did not order food this time, but everything I saw get delivered looked delicious. I also noticed they have a pizza night on Thursday nights and immediately made a note of that for a date night with the hubby.
