The Black Iguana is a coffee shop within a country-centennial vibey store. I really do like pistachios and the frappe flavor was something new for me. I'm all about getting out of my warm, secure, comfort zone and trying new foods, drinks, events...The barista was so friendly with a cute smile and also said the pistachio frappe was her favorite. And the frappe tasted how I imagined it would, delish!!! Recommend: Pistachio Frappe (I ordered mine with almond milk cause I lack toes but the pistachio powder is dairy based, FYI for the plant based).

Fun, funky & hidden in an art store. Need I say more?…read more Apparently, since I was told that wasn't long enough to post... I accidentally stumbled on the coffee counter when I went in to browse. This is something I don't usually do, so I knew it was meant to be. While I did try a latte that my husband bought, and was very good, it was the tea that caught my heart. The staff are attentive, we are half syrup people, otherwise it's simply too sweet for us. They were more than happy to adjust, which is awesome. I can't believe I've been driving by this place for years without knowing it was there. As long as you're in the Main St area, pop in a few stores, never know what you'll find!

Caribou Coffee 1930 S Broadway St, Minot, ND 58701…read moreMarch 16, 2021 Tuesday - 9:45 AM for a drink 1 Adult Atmosphere - 3 stars My Drink- 4 stars Service - 4 stars Background - I was out and about this morning and had some time to kill, what better way than sipping on some coffee.  I was actually going to a small local drive up shack but when I arrived it was closed. Atmosphere - So this Caribou Coffee is inside of Market Place grocery store.  Seems to be the norm now to have a coffee shop inside a grocery store. What makes this one a bit different is that it has a drive up window.  Normally I would not rate a drive thru but this one was very weird.  What is weird is that the drive up window is on the front side of the grocery store.  There is no wrapping around the building.  On a busy day the cars block people from going into and from the grocery, which it has happened to me.  Just weird, like I want to dodge cars waiting to get their coffee with my loaded grocery cart. My Drink - I am simple, I drink black coffee at home.  So my crazy treat for myself at a chain coffee place is a large hot mocha .  I rather sit inside, sip my coffee from a mug.  But with COVID and the time constraint I used the drive thru.  Nothing special  about the mocha, it was a little sweeter than I like. Service - It is what you expect from a drive thru, fast and accurate. Future - Probably for a liquid morning treat.

You absolutely cannot show up an hour before close and expect a full case, or even that day's lunch offer, (which I never order anyway.) Personally, I love that for 2 reasons: less food waste & it motivates you to get there before they run out. With that out of the way, on to the "good stuff" & I do mean that both literally & figuratively. I'll note they are listed as French pastries, this is important, as it sets an expectation comparatively to, say, the local donut shop/ the other "bread (pastry) shop" - &, they are very different styles, indeed. Humble brag moment, International traveler here & I've had the pleasure of some amazing pastries. These guys do fit the French-style that they're boasting about. They made a solid almond croissant & have some tasty savory rotations, as well as sweet. Their crepes are my favorite eat-out breakfast item in town. They offer both sweet & savory options, another bonus, as I'm a savory gal. In short, i probably don't go here as often as I should

We are driving on hwy 2 crosscountry and wanted coffee, matcha, and a treat! We hit the jackpot…read morefinding Minot's Daily Bread. We had a flaky pastry with cheese and egg - excellent and not too heavy! We also had their last caramel cream filled crumpet - also excellent and it is filled so plan how you eat it. Everything else looked so good, including their bakery bread, that I wanted one of each but was pretty sure that would not have worked traveling. The place was nothing special (yet) but it was clean and had cute tables and chairs as well as counter seating for when it gets busier. It also had parking around the building AND a drive through window (for those familiar with the bakery choices or just wanting a beverage). I was not in on the initial encounter with the counter person but my husband wasn't thrilled with the interaction. Not sure which side of the counter the breakdown occurred but it is true that she didn't smile or seem to want to be there and was a bit curt when asked to warm our egg pastry. The manager stepped in immediately to make sure our pastry was warmed in an oven for a minute. (They, THANKFULLY don't use microwaves which was fine by me.) It was perfect. If ever I'm in Minot, I'll make a point of coming here with a much bigger appetite!

From the atmosphere and service to the food I thought this could be a favorite place to stop on our way through Minot. They also have locations in Bismarck, Mandan and Fargo.
