Breakfast available, so one in our party went with that, and that was the right choice for the day we were there. My wife and I each got a salad - I got the California Chicken, and she got the Chicken Harvest Apple Salad. The menu says they are each spring mix lettuce, but there wasn't much spring in either of ours - pretty much iceberg with a touch of darker greens. The chicken was thin and tasted fine, but didn't have a lot of seasoning. The bread was good, and if the lettuce had been closer to what we thought we were getting it would have made a significant difference. We just chose poorly. The breakfast platter looked amazing, and we saw a couple of wraps and sandwiches pass by that looked really good. Service was very pleasant and efficient, and our food came out in good time. They cleared our table as well and even though it pretty much counter service, there was more service provided than you might expect. We will try again and just stick to the sandwiches or breakfast. The lettuce mix may have been a substitute or may be what locals prefer; just wasn't what we thought we would be getting.

I am not from the area and was looking for a place to work for the day. After purchasing a cup of…read morecoffee from another establishment (who did not have ideal seating), I visited Queen Beans and asked if I could bring my outside coffee in if I purchased breakfast there. The staff member assured me it was no problem at all, so I bought breakfast and worked for the day. The next day, I followed the same routine (since I actually really enjoyed the other places coffee and I was already told it was no problem if I bring in outside drinks). However this time, a different staff member informed me that outside beverages were not allowed, but said I could stay if I poured my coffee into one of their cups. I completely understood and complied without any issue. 30 minutes later, the owner approached my table in an aggressive manner and began berating me for not following their rules. Despite explaining that I had received information from two employees allowing me to stay, the manager continued to reprimand me, stating it was common sense not to bring outside drinks. While I always respect the rules of any establishment, the owners disrespectful tone and demeaning language were shockingly disgraceful. I would not recommend dining here if you expect courteous and professional ownership or management.

What a sweet gem in Carroll! Hidden in the heart of downtown, it's not so much vineyard (no grapes…read morebeing grown there) as much as it is winery. The ambiance is cozy and warm with a spacious outdoor terrace. We were there for a special event that served wine but not tastings. A few of us went to the tasting room (which I believe also serves as a restaurant). The service on that side was very good! I bought a flight and all but 1 was delicious. I purchased a wine glass as a souvenir. Back to the event room we went and the buffet was generous and food was delicious! They allowed my cousin to bring in his karaoke machine to DJ so we got to do what our family loves: dance. It was a wonderful and memorable event. The bathrooms were clean and rustic. At the end of the event, my aunt was able to go up to the terrace and wave to all of us there to wish her a happy 90th. I'll definitely visit Santa Maria again when I'm town. I'm knocking one star off for two reasons: 1- they should've allowed tastings in the event room. This would've kept everyone on the party in one place and the tips for the hardworking server in there. 2- in the the tasting room, the tasting glasses were really spotty, making them look dirty. Not a good look for a winery.

Best coffee shop in Storm Lake!…read more They have it all: good vibes, yummy drinks, and friendly staff. They even have small conference rooms you can reserve (or just use if they're open) for meetings or work. They're also female owned! They have a standard menu along with a rotating seasonal one. They also have a variety of food options for breakfast and lunch, including many vegan options. It can be hard to come by intentionally made vegan food in this area and the effort is much appreciated. There were some cookies and macarons out when we stopped by as well, the former of which was vegan and gluten free. Who knew such a woke business was tucked away in Storm Lake? They also have a drive thru, but I recommend stopping inside with a friend for a nice morning in town. I tried a mint mocha seasonal drink and the aforementioned vegan oatmeal cookie. Both were great and I would get them again. This is my new go-to coffee shop in Storm Lake and it is absolutely worth a visit.
