Note: not to be confused with Ember Coffee Co. in Big Lake…read more That said... excellent coffee here. This place is actually kind of awesome. If I describe the environment as being half of the lobby of a new suburban apartment complex, that doesn't do justice to how pleasant it is. Homey, quiet, clean, intentionally designed. When the apartment people give tours to prospective tenants, my confident assumption is that they DEFINITELY show off this area and it probably convinces people to move to this building. The baristas are serious coffee nerds, rightly proud of their single-origin sourcing from farms in Honduras, Costa Rica, and Colombia. My iced vanilla latte tasted great; the mild sweetness from their house-made vanilla was perfect. My friend got a pourover that he loved; he stayed there for about an hour doing some work and was impressed by how long that container stayed warm. If you're arriving by car, there is street parking around the building, but there is also the option of going into the building's garage. They confirmed to me that the ground-level parking spaces are available to customers during their open hours. Also, this is right across the street from the Helmo Ave. station on the new Gold Line. If you're taking that route before 4pm, consider hopping off for one of their impressive coffees!

The place is clean, bright, and really well put together. You can tell they paid attention to the details with how everything is displayed and organized. They have a great variety of pastries, and everything looks freshly made. We tried a few different ones, including the strawberry croissant and the garlic cheese croissant, and they were both really good, soft, buttery, and full of flavor. They also offer drinks, sandwiches, and a few grab-and-go options if you're in a hurry. There's plenty of seating, and the setup makes it a comfortable place to sit down and relax for a bit. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially for it being their soft opening. Overall, it was a great first visit. The pastries were delicious, the space felt welcoming, and we'll definitely be coming back again soon.

We started our order with bubbles and at the register taking our order was Moriah. She was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered the Croque Madame and bubbles and sat and waited for our food. About 15 minutes later Moriah brought our food out and greeted us and made us feel very welcomed. We then found out she was the General Manager. We were very impressed that the leadership here leads by example and they step up and do every job. She was a server, at the register and cleaned tables. This is rare these days and not only that she was very high energy and very welcoming. We plan to make another trip to try more items on the menu the food was fantastic and the portion sizes were generous. They also have a beautiful outdoor area.

You're going to want to make plans to come here…read more It's hard to decide what to order because everything always sounds so good at @sweetparis I'm usually a mix of wanting sweet and savory when it's breakfast time and try to end up with both. They've got locations to visit in: Woodbury, MOA and Edina My love it items: Hot chai tea with oat milk (so.good.) Lemon Crepes -these are amazing. Light and simple but super flavorful and delicious. I can't go here and not order these. They are perfection. New favorite added to the list: Croissant French Toast Savory crepes are always just what sounds good that day because they're all good choices. Today I went with the Croissant Avocado Toast. Pretty tasty and would get again. Also pictured is their Apple Cinnamon Crème Brûlée Crepe. Not my dish but verdict was that it was delicious. Their customer service is top notch, the restaurant is delightful, don't miss out on a fun experience trying Sweet Paris Crepes!

The ranchy sauce they cover it with drowns out whatever taste it might have had. Food also came out cold which is not good at all especially when it comes to meat. Service: Ok, nothing special. Ambiance: Cramped and extremely loud. The waiters are constantly getting stuck because of the overwhelming amount of people. The bathrooms are in a really weird back area with the sinks being outside in the middle of the dining area making it almost humiliating. Price: Expensive for such little actual food with the Giro but the chicken biscuit was priced much better. The default to 20% or 25% on tipping was absolutely absurd.

They also have a wonderful bakery and even a little shop on the inside of this location, so you can get your shopping and bakery items all in one. I've tried their cupcakes and cakes specifically, and they are always moist and delicious. I love the light bright atmosphere of this restaurant, this is the perfect place to bring your parents that are in town or any friends when they are picky. There are a ton of many items and they even have breakfast.

Definitely recommend coming here on a sunny day to enjoy the bright windows, or even a gray/ rainy day with a glass of wine and some snacks!

Also this business is the first boba shop I know that will charge 3% fee if you're paying by credit card (this didn't apply to me since I paid cash). Drink was good but not for that price.

Because of the high price I think I'll stick with the other boba shops around Woodbury.
