The guy at the counter was super helpful on informing us on the specials and the other locations in MN. This location had a little counter to stand and eat your cookies if you wanted, but no seating.

Oh yes.. the classic chocolate chunk is also hit. I enjoyed the Limoncello as it reminded me of the Lemonades Girl Scout cookie but better. I'm sure we will venture back here.

My total for a large iced latte ended up being over $9. I suppose this might be commonplace for pricing anymore but I don't go out to coffee shops very often. I had checked their menu on their website before going and it must be VERY out of date considering the flavored lattes on there are listed as $4.48 for a medium. I'd recommend looking at pricing on DoorDash instead if you are curious. I don't think their menu board had pricing but I could have missed it maybe??? Employees were nice and happy to help me choose the right coffee for me. Service was quick. The shop was cute but there were quite a few flies so I left pretty quickly after getting my drink.
