6 Best cafe in Rochester, Minnesota (MN) 2024

This last Saturday (4/9), we decided to venture out to brunch knowing one of our young boys (age 5) has a severe allergy to eggs. He loves pancakes so we decided to call around to see if any restaurant had an egg-free mix. I called HyVee West Circle and their mix did have eggs, but since they are slower on Saturday mornings, they could make sure to not cross contaminate. We ended up trying it out. The moment we walked in the door, my son told the hostess he was allergic to eggs. She asked if we were the ones that called and we said yes. They had already went into the store and bought an egg-free mix for my son. I literally almost started crying. From there, we had fantastic service by Cate and we were very pleased with the entire meal. Thank you so much for accommodating our family. It has been challenging adjusting to this new condition, but with the extra effort from your staff, it was a positive experience. Once again, thank you! We will be back! ~Missi

Good prices and fresh drinks ~Riker

Close to the highway and main thoroughfare. Parking lot is awkward to navigate and shared with a maintenance shop. I recommend parking on the side of the lot that faces the avenue. Busy at 6:30am. Service is polite and efficient with taking orders. Drive through takes priority so if you're in a rush use the app to order ahead. Plenty of seating and an open atmosphere. Noise level is loud. But it's a coffee shop, so lots of people talking and coffee being made. Great spot for a drink with friends. ~Aubrey

We don’t have Caribou coffee where I live so I decided to try it since I’m seeing them everywhere in MN. The man behind the counter was very friendly. Gave me some tips on what to try since I only like sweet iced coffee. It was a very busy place but they had plenty of staff so the wait wasn’t long. Coffee and breakfast sandwich was delicious. It is pricey but aren’t most coffee shops? 🤷‍♀️ great job guys ! Keep up the good work. ~Treena

Fun fact: I actually don’t like Starbucks but this specific store is one I love so much I go there anyways. I have nothing but positive interactions with the girls and guys (psssst, Karen’s, if you’re nice to people their nice to you) and I just love stopping by and talking with them. Never had a drink made wrong, fast service, kindest workers. Love em and the drinks!! Thanks guys!! ~Eliza
