How cool is that?** Recommend getting to events early if you want to park in the free lot next to Honour otherwise free street parking is available but you may have to walk a few blocks They have really good Açaí bowls, raw juice, coffee, breakfast sandwich and bakery items Like this coffee shop in the summer! The patio is nice, spacious and dog friendly. For events: They can get crowded and have a long line for coffee so just know ahead of time! Great for business but sometimes gets a little overwhelming so plan ahead! I typically get to their events when they first start so maybe come a little later if you want less busy. Overall, if you haven't been here you should check it out!

And if that weren't all, the espresso is very bitter so much that the workers make sure you want a syrup before ordering a plain latte. A 12oz latte for over $7 with no syrup added deserves much higher quality. Not to mention a half serving of açaí for $16+. Very little about this shop is worth visiting, there's much better options. Come for the atmosphere, but none of the product.

Contrary, the University area does not allow for a relaxing environment so this is a spot that I will forever grab and go. I appreciate what Life Juices is doing after revamping a run down Dairy Queen into a healthy storefront. Highlights include hand made items which take a little extra time so you know it's fresh, side patio with plants and small herb garden along with some colorful Adirondack chairs and unique items with a food menu in progress. Sadly, I had 1 homeless person ask me to buy items and it ruined the vibe. In addition, there were questionable activities happening while I awaited my order. Ordering is done on a kiosk with a vast array of choices from pressed juices to smoothie bowls to smoothies. I opted for a peanut butter protein shake with dates and it was so good! I also purchased 3 pressed juices. Each item is almost $10 and then there were $6 taxes? I thought food was tax free? Regardless, I'm finding out that eating healthy in general, is more expensive. I hope Life Juices is able to attract the population it wants as the area for me, is the wrong one but right product. I'll be back!

Tip: Order online or through the Nautical Bowls app to earn points towards bowls and more…read more I was in Blaine a few Saturdays ago and had just had lunch. I wanted something with fruit in it. I did a search and found this Nautical Bowl. It was across the street from where I was. I placed an order online for my usual sunrise bowl. I got a dinghy (medium). I usually get a cruiser (large), but I didn't think that I could finish it. It was easy ordering online. I paid and got an estimated time when it would be ready. I drove across the street. Parking was fine. I backed into a spot across from the main entrance and walked in. The space was cute. There were places to take photogenic photos of bowls and drinks. I headed to the pickup area. There was the nicest man taking orders and making everything. He was great helping me get my order, which was in the fridge. He handed a paper bag with handles over to me. I wished him a great day. He reciprocated. I happily headed to my rental vehicle with my goods. I drove to Grand Casino Arena for a Minnesota Wild game. Once I had parked on level 4 of the RiverCentre parking ramp, I took out my bowl of happiness and ate it before heading to the arena. I love this smoothie bowl so much. It is my favourite. It has a layer of blue majik (spirulina, pineapple, mango, and coconut) , followed by a layer of pitaya (dragon fruit). It is topped with granola, sliced bananas and strawberries, and a drizzle of honey. It has enough fruit to satisfy my fruit cravings. I love the granola that gives a textural contrast between the layers of smooth fruit with the sliced fruit. So good! I am glad that I dropped by. I'd definitely return for more when I'm in Blaine again. (135)

They do have a rewards program, so I'm on a free one now. I work near this location and I just do online order for pick up. Quick pick up, always ready. The staff is always very friendly. If you've ever been to any of these locations, you've been to them all as far as what it looks like inside. Always a good experience for me.

Get in line in front of the salad and tell the server what you want. They will make the salad or sandwich right in front of you. They have more items on their menu such as acai bowls, smoothie, wrap, and coffee drinks.

Several 2-4 person tables, a couch area near the fireplace, a handful of barstools looking out the window, and a communal table. They even have a few fun swing chairs! AMBIANCE I'd say this is a pretty buzzy spot - at least it was when I came in. The folks meeting and chatting outnumbered the folks working remote/solo, but with headphones on it wasn't too loud. DRINKS I got a hot chai, and it was good! Only downside is I ordered for here and they served in compostable cup - I prefer when ceramic / reusable mugs are given for in-store drinkers. FOOD I didn't order food, but saw several people getting lunch here and looked good. AMENITIES There's a bathroom attached within the building, and a water station. The outlets are a bit more sparse since not all tables are against the walls.

My husband was a little disappointed not to see his go-to smoothie on the menu, but we did notice this location is a test kitchen and they're trying out some new flavors. Had we not seen that sign, I think we both would have been confused, since no one mentioned the menu changes when we asked about it. It wasn't super busy, so it was a quick in and out, which isn't always the case, but I'll take it. Absolutely no complaints here!

I finally checked out Churchill St. after a friend raved about their blueberry pancakes, and they…read moreabsolutely lived up to the hype! They were perfectly crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside without being too doughy. So good! For my meal, I ordered the croque madame and substituted the salad for fries for an extra $2. I was SO impressed. The bread was perfectly toasted, I loved the cheese-to-ham ratio, and the egg on top brought everything together. They also gave me a very generous portion of fries--I couldn't even finish them--so the $2 substitution was totally worth it. I also ordered the cardamiel latte, which basically tasted like fall in a cup. Cozy, delicious, and definitely something I'd order again. The space itself is much bigger than I expected, with plenty of booths, long tables for larger groups, outdoor seating, and what appeared to be a bar area. We came around 12:30 on a Sunday, and while there was a steady flow of people, it never felt overly crowded. One thing to know is that you place your order at the register and then they bring the food to your table. The counter also has coffee and baked goods, so there are plenty of options if you're stopping in for something quick rather than a full meal. I could see Churchill St. working for so many occasions--Sunday brunch, lunch or dinner, a birthday celebration, or a fun brunch with girlfriends. They even have a cute little shop with kitchen items, stationery, and other goodies that was fun to browse. There was also plenty of parking in the surrounding area, which made the whole experience easy. Between the food, atmosphere, and versatility of the space, I would absolutely come back!

There's literally no place like it in the Shoreview area. That said, it's a little pricey and the food can be hit or miss. My wife had the clam chowder. She said it was "fine" which means she's glad she didn't have to cook dinner but wasn't really impressed. I had the MN Wild Rice Casserole . It's a vegan dish which I appreciated as I have heart issues and try to avoid dishes with a lot of meat or fried ingredients. I asked the servers what they thought about it. They were less than enthusiastic, but I thought I'd try it anyway. I should have followed their lead. The dish was salty and otherwise not very flavorful. Heart healthy maybe, but I definitely wouldn't order it again. I only ate about a third of my dish. The server asked what I thought. I said it was "ok". I tried to convey my disappointment without really complaining. She kind of shrugged it off and walked away. No offer of any sort of replacement or attempt to rectify the situation. Maybe I should have been more direct. Churchill St is also a semi self serve type of place, which is fine. I kind of like that. What I don't like is an assumed tip that starts at 18%. Other than bringing out our food, there is no service. We got our own water. Went up to the counter and ordered our own drinks. Eventually a girl in a camo hoodie cleared our plates but that's it. It seems like they want to position themselves as an upscale casual place, but they fall short in a few key areas (food and service) In fairness, we have had better meals here in the past . My wife's $14 Chardonnay was really good and a generous pour. Churchill has potential and I am sure we'll be here again, but probably not for a while. Too bad, so sad. I guess.
