I thought that showed a lovely sense of community and caring. Yummy drinks and bakery. I had the Ranger - a cinnamon white chocolate mocha - and it was fabulous! I don't like super hot drinks, and the temp was perfect for me. The peach scone was light, moist and not too sweet. Again, just how I like it. If I return to River Falls, I'll definitely stop here again.

Coffee as good as Portland (OR). No lie…read more Waystone is a feel good kind of coffee place - Women growers, Women store owners. Fortunately they were happy to serve me also. Fortunately, because the coffee is, god's own truth, better than I have had in Portland (and MSP, Madison, Chicago). Small store, with wifi and games, plus music in the background. The food is limited, but fine. Good even. But the coffee. Oh the coffee. Coffee that makes you say "where have you been all my life". Coffee that makes you repent of ever having to gone to Starbucks, Cariboo, Dunn Bros, Dunkin, etc. Turn away from the corporate chains of at best average coffee.

The drink menu is your standard drinks with some seasonal specials mixed in, plus a good selection of pastries. The homemade biscuit breakfast sandwich is so good and definitely worth ordering. I've also had their coffee at the Hudson location, and it's consistently great. The espresso is really well roasted, and I love that you can buy their Co-Pilot beans there too. The staff is honestly the best. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and it shows in both the drinks and the overall experience.

I buy coffee beans here as well. They have some excellent single origin varieties. Street parking and free garage parking available.

There are a couple of tables in front, and another larger seating area out back. Inside, there are plenty of spots for different groups of people. Got here early Saturday morning. There were a few other people there. The service was super nice and personable. Had a nice chat while we were ordering. Got a couple of lattes. I ordered my London Fog latte (a little lavender, a little vanilla, and extra foam). They had some really nice looking bakery (croissants, coffee cake, and turnovers). Got a rhubarb turnover that we had warmed up. We ended up picking a quiet spot in the back. The London Fog was good, but not great. It wasn't as warm as I normally get (could have asked for extra hot?), and a little weaker too. The turnover was heated up a bit too much and ended up a bit deflated. Tasty, but the texture was off. Cute spot. If we came through again, would definitely give it another try.

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.

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.

We sliced and served it with an Italian meal and an olive oil dipping sauce and it was the highlight. Soft, fluffy, and flavorful. -bbq bacon biscuit sandwiches: very good! You can get them to heat them in their oven for you or you do it at home. Just a slight sweetness and hint of BBQ, which seems to have coated the crisp bacon. The biscuit is buttery, fluffy, and perfectly crumbly. Monster cookies: the kids loved these. They are PB oatmeal cookies with M&Ms. great taste, but I wish they were softer rather than crunchy. -Cinnamon roll: the roll itself was huge and very soft. We wished there had been more of the cinnamon/sugar filling in it. However, the frosting was to die for! Just a hint of cream cheese, great consistency (not too thin or thick), and not overwhelmingly sweet. This spot was pricey, but with food costs, it likely needs to be for them to function. Always happy to support great local spots.
