ANother one is pistachio latte. its more heavy. but also very tastey. i am too full from next door but i would like the pistachio one without a full belly. I tried halal sausage pie - I honestly can't tell the difference and thought it tastes like a hotdog. Also ordered honeycomb bread, tiramisu, and Biscoff milk cake. All very good. Nice hangout spot with modern atmosphere. Will come back

This coffee place I've had my eye on for a while and it did not disappoint. @qamariacoffeemn was such a tasty treat and warm welcoming atmosphere to be in while there's so much tension in our state. Had a lovely visit while relaxing enjoying Yemeni Coffee. They have locations in Eden Prairie St. Paul and we had the pleasure of visiting their great staff and cozy cafe inBlaine.

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 was confused by the sweetness level and I should have ordered 20% since apparently 50% is equivalent to 100% at other places. This is the first place (in 11 years of being a boba tea fan), that said 50% sweetness is full sweetness so I was confused. 50% (full sweetness) was way too sweet for me. Aside from that, the prices were higher than other places for the same product but I will say the boba pearls here are cooked the best and tasted better than anywhere else, hence the 4 star review. I hope they do well overall and I appreciate their helpfulness despite my own confusion of the structure.

Wow was I not expecting this family friendly, worldly helpful coffee shop! Look up their website…read morefor more details, you don't need to read my review in which I may mistake exactly their goals and helpful charitable deeds. Overall, solid coffee place. Lots of parking and even more seating. The space itself was great. Don't even get me started on the play area for kids. My wife and I were super surprised when we walked in and there was a whole area for the kid to play! This made our journey here even more enjoyable as we got great coffee and our son got to play with the toy coffee cart. Perhaps it's an advanced training program for youths? They get kids onto playing with the coffee cart to see how good they are and then it's a direct feeder program into becoming a barista? Possibly. Anyways, cappuccino rating: 4/5! Really solid! Dirty chai tea latte: 5/5 for the wife! Play area for the kid: 10/5 he loved it and didn't want to leave! Overall, a great little coffee shop that serves the community beyond just coffee and is a great family place.

On Thursday's and Sunday they have an added selection of vegan doughnuts and on Wednesday they do gluten free!! This is a small location but does have some seating if you want to eat your doughnuts right away. They do have coffee as well but I didn't try that this go around. I got a strawberry filled/ strawberry glazed vegan doughnut- it was delicious! I wouldn't have known it wasn't made without dairy, butter or eggs at all! The doughnut was light and fluffy! The jelly inside didn't taste fake and had big pieces of real strawberry! Soooo good! I couldn't help myself and did get their pistachio Cronut (picture a croissant and doughnut had a baby. This was not vegan) it was soooo flaky, had the perfect amount of sweetness and was absolutely amazing! I have had cronuts before and would have liked to see this one thicker but honestly it was soooo good I'm not sure I missed the height. I already want to go back and try other flavors!! Sooooo tasty! Definitely check this place out!

In other words, it is not your typical coffee shop and I wouldn't come here again. For those that go to the church and school, I can see it would be nice and convenient. The coffee counter is in a large high ceiling lobby like area where teens studying sat next to us. It got loud as the sounds echo and the tables weren't spaced far enough apart for Covid safety.

Second visit to this location, not as busy as the last time here, but still bright and inviting…read more My server was great again, staff here all have been wonderful so far , but what impressed me most was 1 server coming in and the other servers immediately wishing her happy birthday, and shortly after, 2 male servers came in and the manager immediately congratulating both of them on something/whatever.... a business where people care about one another and are invested! KUDOS! I definitely love that about this place and want to continue to visit because they care about their people. As far as today's food, I wanted to try something outside of the box and not yet featured on Yelp, so I opted for the Southern Style Fried Chicken and Waffle. The waffle, no notes, tasty, not doughy, simple. The sausage gravy, delicious. The jalapeño cream cheese syrup, absolutely my favorite part of the whole dish. The chicken, let's discuss. Four pieces on top the waffle, and looked like a ton until I started digging in. Way over breaded (see photos), chicken was tasty and moist but the breading was way too much. If you love extra breading, this is perfect. If you don't mind peeling off a lot of extra breading, this dish is a good offering. Overall, a better food experience than the last visit, maybe 3rd visit will take them to a 5 star rating. There is Hope for Hope.

Walking in this place felt cozy. Like you would want to be here on a cold rainy fall day with a book! This place is very LGBTQ+ friendly. This place did have spider webs in the windows and heavy dust around the windows as well. That was disappointing. You can still be cozy and clean. The staff here left us very underwhelmed. They were having a conversation and finished the conversation before helping us. So we stood there feeling stupid and awkward while they wrapped up their social hour... while taking our order, the person kept her eyes locked on the computer screen. It just didn't feel friendly at all. I expect that kind of service from a Starbucks but not a local coffee shop. My boyfriend got a latte which tasted burnt. Neither of us were a fan. I can't remember the name of the drink but I got a white chocolate cherry I believe latte. It was pretty good. I did order my drink with oatmilk and it was an extra $1.50! Are you insane!? That's literally crazy. That is by far the most expensive swap to oatmilk I have seen! That alone almost pushed this to a one star review, but the drink did taste good. Overall, there are so many coffee shops In the area, I don't feel we will be back to this one.

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.

Service was a bit slow, we waited a little over 15 minutes for our drinks. It's pretty cozy, there were a bit of people there working, meeting or just enjoying coffee. Parking in this area is interesting. If you can't find a street spot (which is likely) there a ramp across the street (about 1/2 block walk).
