I have been eyeing visiting this Nautical Bowls location in Eagan for a while. Last year, a Yelp…read moreexperience had me visit the location in Edina. I knew that I would enjoy a smoothie bowl here. This location is in a plaza. It's a few doors down from Papa John's, where I often get pizza the day after the Minnesota Wild win a game. I like 50% off large pizzas. There is plenty of parking at this plaza. I came here last month to pick up a pizza. I parked in front of Papa John's, but I was early for my pizza pickup. Instead, I killed some time heading over to this Nautical Bowls. It was surprisingly busy on an early Wednesday evening when I walked in. There was one customer ahead of me, which allowed me to take some time looking at the menu. The man behind the counter took one look at my Marc-André Fleury t- shirt that I was wearing, commemorating his 1000th game, with my Minnesota Wild front-zip hoodie over it, and commented on how he liked my outfit. It's good when you find a fellow hockey fan. It's even better when he's a Wild fan. I like that the bowls here are plant-based, gluten-free, and dairy-free. It's nice keeping things simple. I got the sunrise bowl. It had blue majik, pitaya, granola, banana, strawberries, and honey. I got the cruiser size, which was 16 ounces. I paid with a credit card. Bowls are on the pricier side compared to my usual smoothie bowl place, Bliss Acai. However, it's so much closer when I'm staying in either Bloomington or Eagan to get here. I paid with a credit card. Done! He went ahead with preparing my bowl. I took photos and looked around as I waited. I ended up signing up for loyalty rewards. I look forward to getting a free bowl someday. Goals! The man and I had a good chat about the Wild. He asked me about the "new Russian." No one can say his last name. It has more letters than my full name! His first name is Marat. It's much easier to say. He can win faceoffs and skates well. He agreed with me. We both didn't think that the Wild would make the playoffs. Sadly, we were right. There's always next year. He handed me my sunrise bowl. It looked yummy and pretty. I wished him a good evening, took a photo of my smoothie bowl, and headed to my vehicle. I dropped off my bowl and hit Papa John's to pick up dinner. I got to my hotel room and placed my smoothie bowl in the freezer while I had some pizza. I had my bowl for dessert. It was yummy and hit the spot. I love fruit. The banana and strawberry slices were so fresh. The blue majik as the smoothie base was refreshing and creamy. The granola and pitaya (dragon fruit) provided textures that made this bowl enjoyable to devour. I'd get it again. I had a wonderful experience. If you want a refreshing, healthier dessert option, get a bowl from Nautical Bowls. (159)

Last Friday, I dropped by Caribou Coffee to get a beverage. For the first time, I experienced a…read morelineup at the drive-thru. It allowed me to take a look at the other businesses in this plaza as I waited. Two doors down from it is North Country Nutrition (NCN). I wondered whether it was similar to Zeev's Nutrition Studio that I typically go to in Toronto. Sure enough, I did some research online while killing time at the drive-thru, and it had healthy shakes and drinks. Cool! On Saturday morning, I decided to check out NCN. I found a parking spot steps away from the store and backed into it. I was the only customer at the store at around 10 am. The woman, who later introduced herself as Liz, was so friendly and warm. I loved the cozy vibes that this place had, from the couch with cute pillows and other Christmas decorations, to the northern vibes that you feel with canoe paddles and loons. We both ended up sharing where we are from. She's originally from Alexandria, which is roughly a 2.5-hour drive north of the Twin Cities. I indicated that I knew where it was when I used to drive between Rochester and Winnipeg. I cut through it. She loved that I knew where she grew up. The coziness comes from living by water, which shows. She was great explaining her shakes and teas. I am a tea person. I saw watermelon Jolly Rancher as a cold tea. I knew that I wanted it. So, she made me one. It was in a mega format that I'm used to. It was just over $5, which is reasonable. I paid with a credit card. It was easy. I tapped and was done. I thanked her for my drink and headed to my car. I sipped my watermelon Jolly Rancher tea throughout the day. It does taste like the candy, minus the sugar. The flavours were yummy. I was a happy camper. I am glad that I discovered NCN. It takes five minutes to drive over here from the hotel, which I love. The parking lot is small, but I managed to find a spot just fine. I wish that I had found it sooner on this trip. I'll need to return and try more drinks. This place closes at 4 pm most days. It's also closed on Sundays. (440)

I explained I had placed an order for pickup and the woman behind the counter grabbed it from a small fridge. Both of these ladies were so friendly and made me feel welcomed from the jump. Both my shake and tea were so good -- the tea especially though..YUMM!! I was given a punch card while paying, which was nice because I'll definitely be back soon!!

I did see the menu on the display screen had been updated although their website still has inaccurate info. This time I ordered the artichoke flatbread and the coconut caramel iced coffee. The flatbread was really good. The coffee was a bit too sweet. But the friendly cashier and tasty flatbread made up for my previous experience.

Customer service was disappointing…read more When ordering, I specifically asked for a kid-friendly drink recommendation and was given a strawberry fruit tea with popping boba. It ended up tasting extremely bitter--more like strong black tea than anything strawberry. Paying $7 for a drink my kids wouldn't even touch felt like a waste. I went back to ask if they could make it sweeter or offer a different drink. I wasn't asking for a refund, just a chance to have a better experience. They added sweetener but it still tasted very bitter and said their policy doesn't allow to change drinks. To make things worse, staff were speaking to each other in another language right in front of me instead of communicating directly (when they both can speak perfect english), which felt unprofessional. Overall, disappointing experience and not very accommodating to customers.

This is such a hidden gem in a great location. It's a small shop that doesn't have a huge menu but…read moreeverything is delicious. They have a wide variety of drinks and toppings and what makes them special is they offer fresh pressed sugarcane and if you have never had sugarcane I highly recommend, it is a refreshing sweet treat. You will feel like you are on the streets of Asia. They only have cold cut and shredded chicken options for banh mi or you could get the special which has cold cut and shredded chicken which is what I got. There was not a lot of shredded chicken in it but it was a really good banh mi. The flavors were there and the bread was crispy. No complaints. They offered milk substitutes for my friend who is lactose intolerant. Prices are pretty decent here. Banh mi is around $8 which is pretty standard but it's a really good banh mi. Drinks are also around $7-$8 depending on what you get. We went right after tet and we saw they had these cute reusable cups there, they said the promo was over but they gave us these cups for free since we bought enough. There is not much seating here, most people seemed to just pick up to go but our group likes to sit here and talk and it's a nice ambiance for it. I'm hoping if they get more popular they can expand their seating more but it's not necessary. If you are looking for a good banh mi and good boba come here!

Although there were a few people waiting for their orders to be ready, Cassie was ready to help us as soon as we stepped up. Cassie provided excellent customer service. She was friendly, upbeat, and genuinely personable. We ordered the iced honey bun latte with whole milk and a smoothie, and both hit the spot. I'd say prices are typical for the airport which is higher than normal, but this feels like one of the better options if you're looking for a healthier option and a nutritionally balanced option. There are spots to sit if you want to enjoy your order there. Area was decorated nicely and Cassie was cleaning tables frequently for use. Thank you to Cassie for making a great first experience.

The Bar Nutrition opened on September 23, 2024. It's the second nutrition studio that Liz and…read moreAshley from North Country Nutrition (NCN) in Eagan have opened up. My plans changed on Saturday, thanks to a three-hour flight delay getting to the Twin Cities from Toronto. When I finally got into a rental vehicle at 1 pm, I decided to drive to West Saint Paul to check out this place. This nutrition studio is next to H&R Block in a huge plaza. I found a parking spot steps away from the main entrance. It occurred to me when I had parked and looked at the storefront that I have been here. It used to be Hangout Nutrition. I was trying to find a place to get healthy shakes and teas with no to low sugar in them back in November 2021. I tried a tea from Hangout Nutrition. It was okay, but it wasn't as yummy as what I get from ZeeV's Nutrition in Toronto. The Bar Nutrition has taken over the space that Hangout Nutrition once occupied. I was immediately greeted by Ashley. I got to meet Tony for the first time, who was working behind the bar with her. The space feels cozier and more welcoming. Ashley let me know that Liz made a lot of design changes. I liked them. Ashley was happy that I knew about Hangout Nutrition. She used to work at another business in this plaza, and would get shakes and teas from this place. She agreed that they weren't as yummy as those from NCN. The cool thing about this second location is that the menu is identical to the one at NCN. It makes things easier. I got the pineapple dreamer tea. It consists of pomegranate, raspberry, coconut, and pineapple flavours. It's essentially a pina colada with a pomegranate-raspberry twist. Tony made my tea. It was awesome. I loved it. Sadly, it's only available till September. I have never sat at any of their studios to enjoy a drink. I did on Saturday, mainly because I wanted to post a few stories on Instagram to help spread the word about this new location. There isn't any guest wifi at this studio yet. However, it's next to H&R Block that I used its guest wifi. I paid with a credit card. You can also order ahead using the Engage app. Sadly, it doesn't support credit cards with a Canadian billing address, so I can't use it. Even though my plans had changed getting down to the Twin Cities, visiting this new studio made my day. Congrats, Liz and Ashley! I had a great experience with my tea, and look forward to trying the shakes and getting more teas. (378)
