I had the mango chicken salad with poppy seed dressing. It was absolutely excellent, but the mangoes were dried. I get this is Virginia, fresh mangoes are hard to come by. Had the peach custard for desert. The taste was as excellent, but the graham cracker crust was really hard to cut. Everyone else had a wrap - they are big enough that unless you are really starving I'd order a half. This is our new go-to place every time we pass through!

There were a decent number of people inside, but it's quite a large space with plenty of seating. Quirky eclectic interior. We ordered an iced chai and an iced tea with a caramel roll. Friendly service and all the patrons seemed cheerful and were having a good time. The drinks were perfect & the caramel roll was sinfully delicious. Absolutely decadent. A place you'd expect to find holding its own in busy south Minneapolis! Easy street parking and an empty lot across the street. Highly recommend stopping in!

My first visit I enjoyed a house baked scone and the second visit I tried one of their breakfast burritos. Both were good choices, but if I had to repeat, I'd go with another scone. On their menu, they also offer quiche, muffins and a variety of danish. The coffee is self-serve once you order and they give you two regular and one decaf to choose from. If you add sugar to your coffee, they had the real thing, plus raw sugar and a rainbow of artificial sugars to choose from. I got a grin that the ice cream they offer was a small town company back home in Illinois. They serve, Prairie Farms. Which is based in, Carlinville, Illinois. It was nice to see that they support a farmer owned company. Front Porch does have a fabulous porch that almost wraps around the entire building. It is great for relaxing on a beautiful day. Pets are welcome with well behaved owners. Only thing that disappointed me was, I did not visit them on a Monday. Monday is the day, Seniors get a 10% discount and we all like to save. Staff was what you'd expect from a small town coffee shop, it was extremely friendly. Everyone knew each other, yet they made out-of-town folks feel welcomed as well.
