Was headed to the in-laws in the north metro, and needed a caffeine surge! Saw the name of this…read morespot and knew I had to stop! 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 really enjoy all the drinks I've had thus far, this little escape is perfect. You wouldn't think it's there with the mall being so nearby! Check this spot out for a little bit of peace, good working environment, and good drinks.

I tried the blueberry flapjack cold brew and was very disappointed. No real flavor there. My boyfriend got a latte and said it was "standard at best." we also had the zucchini bread and the carrot cake muffin both which were good. There are tons of spots to set up camp here, so if you need a place to study or work, this is a great spot for that! The benches do get really hard on your bottom after a while though! The staff here didn't talk to us at all. Not a hi or anything. Was very off putting. I'm not sure I would stop back. Definitely form your own opinion though.

I finally checked out Churchill St. after a friend raved about their blueberry pancakes, and they…read moreabsolutely lived up to the hype! They were perfectly crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside without being too doughy. So good! For my meal, I ordered the croque madame and substituted the salad for fries for an extra $2. I was SO impressed. The bread was perfectly toasted, I loved the cheese-to-ham ratio, and the egg on top brought everything together. They also gave me a very generous portion of fries--I couldn't even finish them--so the $2 substitution was totally worth it. I also ordered the cardamiel latte, which basically tasted like fall in a cup. Cozy, delicious, and definitely something I'd order again. The space itself is much bigger than I expected, with plenty of booths, long tables for larger groups, outdoor seating, and what appeared to be a bar area. We came around 12:30 on a Sunday, and while there was a steady flow of people, it never felt overly crowded. One thing to know is that you place your order at the register and then they bring the food to your table. The counter also has coffee and baked goods, so there are plenty of options if you're stopping in for something quick rather than a full meal. I could see Churchill St. working for so many occasions--Sunday brunch, lunch or dinner, a birthday celebration, or a fun brunch with girlfriends. They even have a cute little shop with kitchen items, stationery, and other goodies that was fun to browse. There was also plenty of parking in the surrounding area, which made the whole experience easy. Between the food, atmosphere, and versatility of the space, I would absolutely come back!

There's literally no place like it in the Shoreview area. That said, it's a little pricey and the food can be hit or miss. My wife had the clam chowder. She said it was "fine" which means she's glad she didn't have to cook dinner but wasn't really impressed. I had the MN Wild Rice Casserole . It's a vegan dish which I appreciated as I have heart issues and try to avoid dishes with a lot of meat or fried ingredients. I asked the servers what they thought about it. They were less than enthusiastic, but I thought I'd try it anyway. I should have followed their lead. The dish was salty and otherwise not very flavorful. Heart healthy maybe, but I definitely wouldn't order it again. I only ate about a third of my dish. The server asked what I thought. I said it was "ok". I tried to convey my disappointment without really complaining. She kind of shrugged it off and walked away. No offer of any sort of replacement or attempt to rectify the situation. Maybe I should have been more direct. Churchill St is also a semi self serve type of place, which is fine. I kind of like that. What I don't like is an assumed tip that starts at 18%. Other than bringing out our food, there is no service. We got our own water. Went up to the counter and ordered our own drinks. Eventually a girl in a camo hoodie cleared our plates but that's it. It seems like they want to position themselves as an upscale casual place, but they fall short in a few key areas (food and service) In fairness, we have had better meals here in the past . My wife's $14 Chardonnay was really good and a generous pour. Churchill has potential and I am sure we'll be here again, but probably not for a while. Too bad, so sad. I guess.

We got the Somali tea and coffee, and it was delish but quite sweet - I'll ask for less sugar next time.

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).
