In Hot Water Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Annandale

I'm a realtor was was showing homes in Maple Lake and South Haven, headed back towards the S Metro. I had a crazy (lack of caffeine) headache with a ton of work to do and found myself in this fabulous coffee shop! At first I just needed a shot of espresso so I could see straight LOL but I also had the perfect size small chicken salad croissant that was delish! A couple hours later I got a sugar-free latte (thank you for having SF syrups!) and a ham, cheese & egg cup... YUM! I was able to get a ton of work done in a quiet space with the perfect style of music/volume. I've always wanted my own coffee shop/boutique so found myself checking out the different spaces and LOVE that you have donation spaces for people in the community. Super thoughtful! Thank you for being the quiet, peaceful place I needed this afternoon :) The guys working were super friendly as well....

It's easy to be the best coffee shop in a small town, especially when there's no competition.

Drinks are decent. Espresso pulls were actually timed perfect, not like you'd see at big-chains, where they hurry the pull & you don't get to experience the velvety crema that should sit atop each shot.

Not crazy about prices but it's Annandale. They're the only place in town you can get an espresso drink, that I know of.

Parking sucks, especially if you're craving an iced Americano on a Saturday morning. You'll have to walk a ways to get past the...

Great small town coffee place. Line was out the door, which is good to see... Definitely worth it. The location is kind of hidden. I can't remember, but I think the building used to be a jail? library? or some other public building?... Regardless, it's cool and comfortable. They have a small outdoor eating area... Definitely try the scones. Always fresh. I've noticed, that soy milk isn't really a thing in Minnesota. This place only had oat milk. Not sure why, especially in a state where soy beans is a major crop... IDK....
