    Inside of the cafe
    Josh D.

    This review is specifically for the indoor part of the cafe. It's not very accessible, and I got the impression that they didn't actually want customers ordering or sitting in there, despite the room full of indoor tables and comfortable chairs. First of all, it was difficult to find the entrance. I walked around the building a couple times, and finally walked into the barbecue joint next door to ask directions. Turns out the entrance is through the same door as the BBQ place. But you have to squeeze yourself through a 6-inch-wide opening that is mostly blocked by the BBQ place's menu sign to get into the coffee shop area (this would not work at all for wheelchair users). Second, there is no menu on the wall inside. There is apparently a paper menu that they will hand you if you ask, but they ignored me for so long that by the time I finally got someone's attention to place my order, I didn't want to risk losing it again by looking at a menu, so I just ordered something I could see that they had (mint tea -- it was fine). Third, the indoor order window is so high up in the wall that the baristas can only see the top of your head. This makes it easy to ignore customers... which they did. (This arrangement would also not work at all for a wheelchair user or even someone short.) That brings me to my final gripe -- while I recognize that they do have a long line for their drive through, I stood there for 10 minutes before they even acknowledged me. I was starting to wonder if I was invisible! I've worked at a busy coffee shop before, so I get it, but it doesn't take much effort to give a customer a quick, "we'll be with you in just a minute, thanks for your patience." I was about about 30 seconds away from giving up and going elsewhere by the time they acknowledged me. If you can actually get them to give you a drink, the chairs are comfortable and it's a good place to sit. They have good wifi if you can find an employee who knows the password (that took some work). This place didn't feel at all friendly or welcoming. It's probably fine for the drive-through, as that seems to be their primary business, but this wouldn't be my first choice on my neck visit to Dickinson.

    Serendipity is a nice find in Dickinson. The atmosphere is generally warm and inviting, with fun and funky artwork displayed on the wall. I've visited 3 times now - twice when I came to visit the town, and now again on my first day as a new resident. On one of my visits it was very crowded but the Reuben was well worth the wait. Coleslaw is uninspired and appears to be store bought. They also make a good green tea latte - a lot of coffee shops don't do that well. Lots of hot tea options as well - much appreciated!

    An extensive menu that was hard to choose from. The chicken tenders were some of the best I have…read morehad and my husband's Philly beef was great. Family friendly. Great service, didn't feel rushed. Military discount

    This was my favorite spot to eat for our Dakotas trip! So much so, we came here the two nights we…read morewere in Dickinson. We got there early both nights for two reasons: 1. They get busy quickly, had a wait after we were seated both nights. 2. They have both short and high top tables. We needed the short tables for my father-in-law. The only negative about this place is the space and ability to move around in between tables, especially when someone like my FIL is using a walker. Here are some of the things we got during our two visits that we enjoyed: *Huckleberry mule - got this both nights, this was made to perfection! *Steak Tips *Cheese curds *Knoephla soup - something the area is known for, and I'm glad I got a chance to try. Similar to a chicken and dumplings that the south is known for. Note they do not have this soup every night, although they should. *Walleye sandwich - my husband had never had walleye. Also something the area is known for and he was glad he got to try! *Scotcharoo - a dessert the area is known for, which we had never had. It's a much better tasting rice krispy treat as it has the addition of peanut butter, chocolate, and butterscotch. All of the flavors work so well together. We loved it so much, we got a couple extras on the second night to take home with us! We really enjoyed getting to try drinks and food the area is known for. The service was fantastic both nights - servers always willing to help with a smile. I highly recommend Blue 42 if you are in the area!
