“ This was the cutest place! Its so nice to have a roaster and coffee shop on this side of the greater Twin Cities. Its very cozy on the inside with a few chairs. The coffee was very smooth and delicious. They have oat, almond, and soy milk options. The pastries looked so good too, and there were even gluten free options. ”
“ Everyone in here is amazing! Its a small space, but they keep everyone moving around. The coffee is excellent, especially all their hot espresso drinks. Theyre not too sweet or full of fluff. Theyre deliberate and thoughtful and perfectly mesh. My personal fav is the salty maple latte just the right amounts of everything! So good! Beautiful environment and my favorite place to support local. ”
“ My iced vanilla oat milk latte is always wonderful here. Love the new interior from the woodwork to the lights. The best thing though is the owners and the customer service, all of the people Ive interacted with are so friendly. So thankful to have high quality coffee along with friendly people behind the counter back in a Lake Elmo coffee shop. The scone I had was also fantastic, not too dry like some can be. Other excellent baked goods. Great place to grab to go or stay and enjoy your coffee and baked goods. Easily the best Coffee Shop in Washington County. ”
