Was headed to the in-laws in the north metro, and needed a caffeine surge! Saw the name of this…read morespot and knew I had to stop! Parking available in the shared business lot out front, but it was VERY busy on this Sunday afternoon! The interior of this spot is one for the senses: colorful walls, random knick knacks, plants, and plenty of coffee-sipping patrons. While it was a LOT of stimulation, I loved every bit of it. I was so happy to see so much support for this local spot! The servers were so friendly and helpful during my order and pick up process! Incredibly LGBTQ+ friendly. I HAD to go with the Go Bananas option on my iced latte, their proprietary blend of banana, vanilla, and hazelnut that leaves you with the most beautiful flavor! I also appreciated that they have a layered iced latte option...with the shot on top! This spot definitely is one of my favorite hidden gems from the last few years, and might crack into the top five coffee spots in the Cities for me! A MUST VISIT!

When I went it was decorated in Christmas decor with the theme of monkeys lol. The drinks were reasonably priced and had everything from simple lattes and cappuccinos to barista favorites which are more so speciality coffee drinks. I recommend checking those drinks out if you want to try something different. The seating area isn't typical cafe style. It's mainly couches, chairs and tables as if you're sitting in a house or lounge. Staff was fun and energetic with good recommendations. The most fascinating part is that there's an antique market connected to the coffee shop that you can walk right into. The store seems endless. So much to look at. Probably the biggest antique store I've seen locally. Highly recommend.

I really enjoy all the drinks I've had thus far, this little escape is perfect. You wouldn't think it's there with the mall being so nearby! Check this spot out for a little bit of peace, good working environment, and good drinks.

They serve Somali tea, coffee, and a variety of sweets and treats. Service was helpful at the counter, but not especially quick for food/drink service. They do crepes specifically, so we had to get one! It came rolled up which was delish, with cookie butter and Biscoff cookie topping. We got the Somali tea and coffee, and it was delish but quite sweet - I'll ask for less sugar next time. The star was the Nafaqo: hard boiled egg inside a seasoned potato patty - our first time trying it and so good! Hearty and filling.

They have a huge indoor and outdoor seating area and the patio is dog friendly - which was great to bring my god (they had water bowls and all). They also roast their beans here, so it's very cool to see that as well A few girlfriends and I sat outside on a beautiful Friday morning and enjoyed coffee and catching up. We ended up all getting one of the seasonal specials the spumoni (lavender honey latte) and we all really enjoyed our drink. They also have a wide variety of pastries from if you local spots including Marc Heu, which is awesome as going to the actual location can be a bit of a nightmare with long lines. The barista were all very friendly and were churning out orders quickly. There is some construction going on in the area right now so you do have to loop around a little bit which is a little confusing, but there is a huge parking lot with tons of available parking Another huge perk as it is also on the coffee compass pass - I'm already planning to go back tomorrow to use that BOGO deal :)

That said, I think the food menu has room for improvement. The sandwiches tend to be a bit dry and could use more flavor. For example, the bacon on the BLT tastes like pre-cooked grocery store bacon and is never heated when I receive it. I'd also love to see more bread options, especially sourdough. Overall, the coffee and customer service keep me coming back, but some enhancements to the food offerings would make the experience even better.

The scone was moist and the drink was refreshing. Service 4/5: the staff overall seemed distracted.

If you're looking to have a truly private conversation, this isn't your place. The tables are close together, but overall plenty of seating.

Hands down the best I have had. They also have delicious Dubai chocolate Strawberry cups. The back of the store has a cafe with all kinds of coffee, smoothies, pastries and cheesecake. I decided to try the Dubai chocolate cheesecake and a spicy spinach pie and meat pie. The cheesecake of course was amazing. The spicy spinach pie was my favorite out of the two. It wasn't overwhelmingly spicy, just enough spice with great flavors. A definite must try . If you haven't been here yet, it's definitely a must try place.
