When this place opened close by, I was ecstatic. They serve authentic ramen noodle soup reminiscent of the noodle shops that I would often frequent late at night when I am in Hawaii.

This coffee shop is dear to my heart because I know the owners well and it is only a block from my house! Great pastries made by the baristas and really good coffee too from what I have heard. They also serve sandwiches and soup. But most of all, it is the cozy ambience and the regular patrons that make this coffee shop my favorite in Kingfield.

They roast their own coffee and both locations provide a very welcoming environment. There is also a location on 43rd and Nicollet Ave which is very close to the house also. But the Lyndale location is also close by. Very popular with the Kingfield residents. They serve pastries, sandwiches and soup also.

This is definitely the new and happening coffee shop. I would almost say it is a place where hipsters like to hang, if there is such a thing. Nice crowd and friendly baristas.

This cafe is known for Sonny's ice cream which they make right there! But I love the Italian style outdoor seating with all the pots and plants. Very romantic. They have amazing breakfast and brunch (mimosas on sundays are not bad either) but also serve dinner. Although they are known for their ice cream, I love their variety of homemade cakes. A great way to spend a nice summer evening!

Everything made here is fresh. One of my favorite places to have breakfast, and their chicken sandwich is the best I have eaten so far from the lunch menu. Their pastries are mouth watering. Although it is small on the inside, there is enough outside seating for an enjoyable breakfast or lunch.

This place is known for their breakfast. They close every day around 2pm except on Monday nights they have their pizza special! Nice outdoor seating (a little noisy since it is on a busy intersection), but I love the food and if you go on a Saturday or Sunday morning, get their early, because it gets crowded.

Like all vietnamese restaurants, the atmosphere is not the best, but hands down, it is my favorite place for Pho in the twin cities! The other restaurant inside is also called Caravelle and they serve amazing authentic Vietnamese dishes like fried angel fish with garlic fish sauce.

I consider this one of my favorite places to shop. It's not really well known unless you live in the cities. Everything is 70% off of brand name designers (everything from clothes/shoes/accessories to things for the home). There are definitely more here for women than men when it comes to clothes, but I have found some great things here that I have not found anywhere else!
It's kind of packed in there, but take time to look around. It's worth it!
