This place is great!…read more We stopped by on a Tuesday morning, and I was surprised by how large the inside was. It's not gigantic, but I was expecting it to be much smaller based on what I had heard about the place. I ordered the Waffle Latte and absolutely loved it. I would definitely get it again. My wife ordered an iced mocha with an extra shot, and she really enjoyed hers as well. We also decided to try a white chocolate raspberry scone. My wife loved it. I thought it was good, but not quite great. We also ordered a garlic bagel with cream cheese. I really liked that and would potentially order it again, although next time I may try a plain bagel just for comparison. The staff was super nice. They genuinely seemed happy to be there, which is honestly a bit surprising these days when it comes to customer service. The positive attitude definitely added to the experience. Overall, I really don't have much negative to say. Sure, it's a little pricey, but I feel like I say that in almost every review nowadays. Food and drinks outside the house are just stupid expensive these days, so compared to other coffee shops, the pricing here felt relatively fair. Yeah, I don't know. I really don't have many complaints. Great drinks, friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere. I'm giving them 5 out of 5 stars, and I'll definitely be back.

I've seen great reviews for BlueNose Coffee so I had to check it out! They had a drive thru but I…read morewent inside to order. They have a cozy atmosphere and is a nice spot to enjoy a morning drink. I ordered a blue nose mocha and a believin' berry buzz dirty soda along with a blueberry scone. The scone was subtly sweet and pretty dense. It was a great choice of bakery item. The mocha was super sweet. It almost tasted more like a latte than a mocha. The sugary flavors drown out the espresso bitterness. I'd order something else next time since the sugar rush was a lot. Since Farmington has been known to consume the most Mountain Dew per capita in the US I ordered a Mountain Dew based dirty soda. With all the added flavors of this drink I kind of forgot it was Mountain Dew. Like everything else this was a super sugary drink but was nice to try due to the novelty of the drink.

I chose lemonade with raspberry flavoring. It was a perfect refresher to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the beautiful afternoon. I also could not resist the salt caramel chip cookie.

We got The Gambler which was a delicious butterscotch espresso drink. Just the right amount of sweetness. We also tried The Rancher which had a nice balance of pistachio and white chocolate. We also got the breakfast sandwich. It was a nice size and I loved how customizable it was. The place is smaller and doesn't look like much from the outside but it makes up for it in delicious drinks!

I thought that sounded delicious and refreshing and it was. A perfect combo of sweet and tart. While there was plenty of seating inside in the cool air, I opted for an outdoor setting.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the chance!…read more There is tons of free parking! This building used to serve a difference purpose and did more "business" stuff. It has not been converted and one of the new places inside is selling delicious coffee!! The space was modern and very clean! There is also a fair amount of seating here! This place has an awesome cause! They employ those that may have a harder time getting a job due to cognitive abilities. With that being said, be respectful, order a bit slower and if you need to repeat yourself, be patient! Everyone here was unbelievably sweet! The coffee was absolutely AMAZING! Starbucks has nothing on these guys! I got a blackberry vanilla latte iced with oatmilk (almond milk is the other nondairy option) IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! I want to try all of their specials now!! This is a "hidden gem" for Apple Valley! Definitely give this place a try!!

This is a must try if you are in the Rosemount area. They were super busy Saturday morning, the…read morewhole restaurant was filled when I arrived but the service was amazing! They are so quick getting the orders out I was surprised I didn't have to wait longer. Seating is limited so don't expect to have a spot when you get there unless you get lucky and someone is leaving. Empanadas are $4 but they have a combo 3 for $10 so I got 3 of each flavor, the spicy beef, pineapple, chicken and breakfast. My favorite was the pineapple and the spicy beef. They do sell a dozen empanadas frozen so I might have to do that for when I get cravings and they aren't open. I also had to try a bunch of their spring special drinks, they all sounded so tasty. I love fruity flavored drinks so I tried the white chocolate berry chai, banana berry horchata, lavender latte and a mocha. I normally don't like lavender but this one was pretty tasty with their house made lavender syrup! The rest of the drinks were really good too except a bit sweet for my taste. They do have oat milk but charged a dollar for it. Hours are limited so make sure you check before you go. Oh also bring cash if you can. They do charge extra for credit cards.

It's not too sweet which I enjoyed, and the flavor was more subtle. The large latte was more milk forward so you may want to add an extra shot of espresso if you prefer stronger drinks. The espresso tasted great! The empanadas were so delicious. They're baked, not fried, so the crust is softer. The breakfast and spicy beef empanadas were my favorite! The breakfast empanada was so comforting. The spicy beef empanada was incredibly flavorful but if you can only tolerate Minnesota spicy then it may be on the spicier end for you. The chicken empanada had good flavor but the chicken was a little dry. The staff were super friendly and there was plenty of seating available.

I was absolutely thrilled when I discovered Café de Paris in Apple Valley. It's surprisingly…read moredifficult to find a truly high-quality bakery around here, and after one too many supermarket "French" baguettes and bake-at-home loaves, this place was exactly what I'd been looking for. The bread is fantastic--crusty, fresh, and authentically French. They also have an incredible selection of beautiful pastries, cakes, and other classic French treats that look like they came straight out of a Parisian pâtisserie. And the coffee is absolutely exquisite. One thing that always makes me smile is that while the pastries look and taste authentically French, they're definitely American-sized! They're enormous. If you're hungry, you're in for a treat. More often than not, I'll enjoy half of one there with a coffee and take the rest home in a box for later. It's a wonderful little café with a relaxed atmosphere and a great place to sit and unwind. If you're in the Apple Valley area and looking for something a little different--something with a genuine European feel--I can't recommend Café de Paris highly enough. I'll definitely keep coming back.

Decided to give this place a try after being in the area. Quick review: Food was VERY tasty!…read moreService and ambiance... definitely lacking.... I walked in and saw you could either order on a large touch screen on with a person at the front. I don't mind touch screens, so I went to start my order. The problem is that there are no pictures... so you're not 100% sure what you are ordering. I stopped the order and walked over to the case to order with the employee instead. There was one woman in front of me and she got her items quickly. I ordered 5 items. (See pic below) All of them were fantastic! I really do judge a place by how well they can do a croissant, and this place does them very well!! The employees were very polite but for some reason my order took almost 15 mins to fill... I watched them pull the items from the case, so I'm not sure why it took them so long to do the order. There was only one other person who ordered after me and she had a drink and a box of pastries too... she received her items first. As for the space, it is bland and feels like an old Carribou coffee.... There really wasn't anything that felt "Paris or French" here. Very bland and not very cozy. If you plan on going(the food was very good) order it to go...

Rough first impression for sure. This is one identity within a building called "Resolve Food Hall",…read morewhich is the main thing you'll notice as you approach the building. I was not sure I was even in the right place at first. Straight ahead as you enter is the coffee shop part of this place, and there is a touchscreen ordering panel but also a cashier. However, we came at 11am on a Saturday and wanted some of the brunch options. We were directed to a table in another part of the facility, given the full Curiouser menu, and abandoned for 30 minutes. No one talked to us again so we left and got brunch at another nearby establishment. I still hadn't had any coffee later that afternoon so I stopped by to try an easier scenario, and I had an excellent iced drink called Absolutely Alice. Perfect sweetness level for me; I like it sweet while still being able to get coffee flavor out of it. So I would definitely return for a coffee. The corners of the building that are meant to be associated with the coffee shop part of the business are nice; lots of plants and homey touches. But even though we did see servers taking orders at other tables, I don't think they have that down. I'd recommend coming here just for small orders at the counter.

Updated review: Came back a second time with a friend and I'm honestly much more impressed. My…read morefirst visit didn't totally win me over, but this time the coffee was noticeably better and the overall experience felt more worth it. The space still has a slightly weird food hall vibe (not super cozy coffee shop energy), but the drinks are hand crafted. They use local beans, have handmade syrups, and offer a fun variety of specialty drinks that feel thoughtful and well made. One of my favorite details: the plants throughout the shop have names and many are for sale, which is such a fun, quirky touch and makes the space feel more intentional and unique. Overall, I'm glad I gave it another shot, much better experience the second time and definitely a cool local spot with personality.

The space was very nicely designed and well lit. The parking was the trickiest to figure out, but…read morethere is parking spaces on the back as well as street parking across the street. Walking in, it was very warmly designed and had plenty of space and seating options from solo or group settings. There's some outlet options around as needed as well. The menu was around the top front counter with baked goods for viewing. I wanted to try their signature drink Arise. The staff was welcoming and assisted promptly and explained to me that it was like a latte with cinnamon swirl syrup which sounded great to me. It's definitely a nice spot to stop by if you're in the area!

I did end up getting the wedding cake cupcake. It was okay. The cupcake itself is a bit dry and the frosting is not sweet (the baker did warn me). I quite enjoyed the lemon filling but don't know if I'd be returning due to the flavor. They do offer treats for dogs so that's a win! They also have macaroons and non cupcake treats. It is very quiet and clean inside, great for an intimate conversation or study session. Glad I was finally able to try this place!

The matcha is also amazing and made authentically, which you can really taste in the quality. They clearly take a lot of pride in how their drinks are prepared.

You can sit at traditional tea tables on tatami mats, shoes off, which adds to the whole experience and makes it feel very intentional and relaxing. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They also have a wonderful selection of loose leaf teas, kettles, mugs, and other tea accessories for sale. If you love tea, this place is absolutely worth visiting. One of the most unique and thoughtfully run tea shops in the area.
