I stopped in to pick up a dozen donuts for my team at work, they had a variety of selections including regular, specialty, and mochi donuts. They all looked so delicious and were beautifully displayed. I ordered a regular dozen but their breakfast sandwiches caught my eye. I chose to order a ham egg and cheese on a croissant and OMG I fell in love! It was very clear the sandwich was made fresh to order - never frozen. The cheese was gooey and warm and the croissant was flakey on the outside soft on the inside. The sandwich itself cost $5 and some change. So much cheaper than the frozen sandwiches you get at a Starbucks or Caribou and it was 10x more delicious! Another thing to mention is how wonderful the women behind the counter are. They were so helpful and very sweet while my coworker and I were ordering. They gave fantastic service with a smile and were very friendly. Service like this is what drives me to come back time and time again. This will definitely be my new stop for breakfast in the morning!

Not sure why this place has so many glowing food reviews--the quality just didn't match the hype…read more The ham & cheese croissant was dry and lacked the buttery, flaky richness you expect. I asked for it to be warmed from the display (which you have to request it to be warmed, not offered), but it came out barely above room temperature. The layers looked right, but the flavor simply wasn't there. The cardamom roll had the same issue--dry and overly sweet from granulated sugar, with little to no actual cardamom flavor. Even the Americano was disappointing--barely hot and lacking any real coffee depth. The atmosphere didn't help--cold and somewhat sterile, with loud acoustics that make it hard to relax. The decor also felt mismatched with the building's overall aesthetic. Staff was fine--nothing negative, but nothing that stood out beyond basic customer service. Overall, this wasn't a 5-star experience.

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.

If you want to come here even relatively close to peak hours, I would highly recommend a reservation. My personal favorites here include the Rotisserie Chicken Sandwich and the Minute Chicken. I've gotten both items multiple times and they are consistently great. Do yourself a favor and get the Dessert Flight; the portions are more than fair for the price and the Banana Cream Pie is to die for. We recently did brunch at Hazelwood for the first time. The Monkey Bread is a generous size with a crispy outside and gooey center - exactly how you would want it to be. The Smoked Gouda Hash browns are worth getting on the side with any item that doesn't already include them; they are so creamy and have a rich cheesy flavor with a nice crispy top layer. Unfortunately, I would not recommend the Avocado Toast. The bacon bits, lettuce, and poached egg completely overwhelm the avocado, which is virtually nonexistent. It's served on a very small and boring piece of wheat toast.
