This is not the most RV friendly spot, but they are super nice if you walk through to order and grab your drink:) we got a cold pressed juice (which was delicious!) and a maple cold brew latte.

What's not to like? Lu Lu Beans coffee shop in Willmar is one of the cutest coffee shops I've ever…read more"bean" to. Ha, ha. The small sign outside says "Welcome home friends" which hints at the overall atmosphere you'll experience at this popular Willmar coffee shop. Old guys with bald heads and white chin beards gather around a small table on the patio to sip coffee, discuss their golf game and gripe about the rising cost of home owners' insurance. Nearby, a couple of moms in yoga pants catch up before launching into their busy day. Inside, a 20-something works remotely at a table not much bigger than her laptop. And there's me. A not-so-young-anymore dad from the cities with nothing better to do than hunt for a good espresso and write wordy Yelp reviews. I ordered a daily brew, my usual, which was fine. TBH not any better than coffee out of my Keurig. They had an espresso category on their chalkboard menu but I didn't see that a simple cup of espresso was an option. I could be wro Nevertheless, it's the vibe of the place that makes Lu Lu's so special. Set in an old house? Gas station? Country store? I don't know, but I love the friendly, homey feel. The different rooms have your usual tables and chairs, but also comfy oversized chairs, couches and love seats. Want to work remotely? No problem- tables and chairs of all sizes. Want to hang out and chat with your bestie or curl up with your favorite book (or electronic device)? Check! Looking for a cozy patio surrounded by potted plants? Got you covered. (Literally, the patio is covered by a lattice pergola covered in vines that crest a nice shade on a sunny day). I also love that the walls are covered in employees' artwork. Some of it is even for sale. The decor is well curated country chic with lots of live plants, cute antiques and I feel like there's got to be a cat quietly snoozing the day away somewhere around here. (Probably not really, but it wouldn't surprise me to feel something furry brush up against my leg). Lu Lu Beans coffee shop is as if your oddly hip grandma was a tattooed, big city barista who decided to start a new life in Willmar after working for Martha Stewart. It's a good thing.

We got into MSP late, the rental place only had EVs left, and suddenly The Rivers Family Restaurant became part of our charging strategy. Honestly, not a bad problem to have. The food was quite good both times. It was exactly the kind of hearty, comforting meal you want on the road. And the staff was very personable. The contrast between the two visits was interesting too: on a random weeknight, service was excellent and quick. On Sunday after church, they were absolutely packed and warned us service would be slow, but even then it moved faster than expected and everyone stayed friendly and on top of things despite the crowd. The vibe is very much friendly family restaurant. Not fancy and no frills, but clean and comfortable. A solid place for a meal.

The beet salad looked delicious and was declared tasty. Nice to see a modern/current take on cuisine done well. The service was prompt and professional. Bathrooms were clean.

I thought for sure they must have been hosting a wedding or something because I have no idea where all these people came from! There was a bit of a wait for a table.....and then more waiting for someone to take even a drink order. I actually had to go to the bar and request a server because it had been so long. And then once we ordered it took a long time for our pizzas to come out. In all we were there for FOUR hours which is a heck of a long time for pizza! The pizza was fine - they had a number of really interesting specialty pizzas (we had the Cubano, a supreme style and chicken bacon ranch). Unfortunately I think they were rushing things a bit as our crusts were under done and soggy. Despite a less than stellar first experience, I think I'd give them a second shot. They were obviously very busy and thus likely very popular. The place was cute and I imagine at the peak of summer the vineyard looks beautiful.
