They were happy to let us take our time browsing and choosing a few treats, which we really appreciated. We picked out three different cupcake flavors, and every one of them was beautiful and delicious. My personal favorite was the Dark Knight cupcake--rich and decadent. If you're in Northfield and have a sweet tooth, be sure to check out this cute little bakery. It's definitely worth a stop!

It paired perfectly with the incredible carrot cheesecake cupcake I ordered. If cake isn't your go-to, they offer cookies and plenty of other treats as well. There's ample seating inside and a bench outside for enjoying your sweets on a nice day. Stay for a bit and treat yourself to something delicious.

Dairy Queen used to be our family favorite. However, since moving to Northfield, The Blast is an…read moreice cream shop that is few and far between and rises above them all. It's a place hidden in the historic Downtown Northfield, right along the river in a "tunnel" that you have to be looking for to find. The seasonal workers (not open in the winter time) are always super friendly, and even when it's really busy (which is more often than not) you get your order rather quick. Now, you may wait 30 mins in line, and an additional 15 for your ice cream... however it's well worth the wait. Long story short, make sure you have time if you plan on going. I always mean to snag a good pic of the ice cream, but we're always so ready to eat I always forget. Enjoy the best ice cream in Northfield!!

To my dismay, they've expanded their brand and added Coco's Market right next door to the restaurant. AND IT'S SO FRICKEN COOL INSIDE!! You can find almost anything in there and it's a great place to get authentic Mexican souvenirs such as hats, keychains, belts, aprons, and so much more. Apart from that they also sell grocery items like avocados, limes, rice , canned items, rice, tomatoes etc... and get this, you can even send money to different countries!! The true definition of a one-stop-shop! TALK ABOUT DECOR!! This place will uplift your spirit from the moment you enter through the double doors. I love how much attention they put into making the space feel and look stunning. One a cold wintery day like today, the little things like this matter most. Seating area is nice and the noise level was adequate with a touch of Mexican cumbia music! I wasn't really in the mood for meat and I love that their expansive menu can accommodate my peculiar eating patterns lol. I started off with a HOT bowl of Mexican Menudo, then a plate of Mexican rice, beans and tortillas on the side with cheese inside.. Y-U-M-M-Y!!! This was followed by a platter of picadas (that I shared with my partner), a cup of Mexican prepared corn (esquite) and washed it all down with a glass of horchata! Overall it was to die for! I've spent a good chunk of time in Cuernavaca, Mexico and the food here reminds me so much of the food there. Coco's roots trace back to Maltrata, Vera Cruz in Mexico and I love how they've blessed the community here with a taste of home. It's located in the heart of Northfield on a strip that can be considered their downtown, so there's lots of petite mom and pop shops that you can browse. Decent amount of parking in the front area, otherwise you can also swing in the back of the building and find more parking. Going to Coco's is now a routine whenever I'm in Northfield and one that I can get used to :) Fast service + family-oriented + hot and freshly made food = Coco's Place. Once again, I left a happy camper ;)

The guy at the counter was super helpful on informing us on the specials and the other locations in MN. This location had a little counter to stand and eat your cookies if you wanted, but no seating. It was in a foodie mall with a bunch of other restaurants. Perfect stop for dessert! We got the Limoncello and Red Velvet since they were specials and not on the main menu. Oh yes.. the classic chocolate chunk is also hit. I enjoyed the Limoncello as it reminded me of the Lemonades Girl Scout cookie but better. I'm sure we will venture back here.

Highly recommend the half sandwich and soup- the beer cheese soup is the best I've had, so comforting every time. Everything is pretty affordable too, especially the large scoops of ice cream!

The service was incredibly kind and welcoming, with the warmth you'd expect from a small-town business. The ambiance was exceptional--from the charming storefront to the inviting interior. They even had toys available for families with young kids, which was a thoughtful touch that didn't go unnoticed. And the food absolutely won me over. Every bite was packed with flavor, and everything was so tender it practically melted apart. It felt fresh, carefully prepared, and in a completely different league than the typical sandwich chains. Places like Subway simply can't replicate this experience. My only criticism would be the cleanliness of a few surfaces. The counter where I signed my receipt and our table were both noticeably sticky and seemed like they could have used a quick wipe-down. It was an area that stood out but certainly wasn't enough to keep me from coming back! Overall fabulous!!
