Rendezvous Coffee — Restaurant in Isanti

My friend and I tried this place this morning for the first time and we were both completely disappointed! We won't be ever coming back to this establishment when I love to help support local businesses of any kind out in the community of where I live! The coffee tasted off. My friend's coffee was a large, iced coffee with butterscotch flavoring with cream in it and it tasted disgusting to both him and I. It was so bitter and it's as if the flavoring was missed? My small, iced coffee with toasted marshmallow with cream tasted like all cream! It was $2.00 each which was affordable as the only good thing I have to say about this place as well as it looking like a very cute house on the outside! Very homey looking! However, we were both disappointed and dumped the liquid portion out my car window on the way to Cambridge! We took our business to City Center Market in their deli section where they serve coffee and it was a way different experience! Also, the lady at the window at Rendezvous acted socially awkward towards me as I asked her coffee questions regarding the menu. Up your quality and barista skills Rendezvous! It was a disappointment and a waste of $4.25 when the website showed that this place had good reviews of 4.7 out of a 5...

I wanted to love this place. It has a very cozy, unique layout and the staff is very welcoming and helpful. Unfortunately, the last time that I went in the fly problem was absolutely terrible. The treats on the counter were not fully covered and there were flies resting on them. The place was packed and the staff handled it well, especially when offering help with what drinks would suit my preference. (I am a non-experienced coffee drinker.) I ordered several drinks (about 6) and one was a hot chocolate for my young son. I watched, disgusted, as the young woman (who was making the drink) filled my child's drink with the powder then dropped the scoop on the floor, picked it back up and placed it right back in the container with the powder. The worst part of it was that it fell directly in the area that leads to their drive- through. There is a lot of foot traffic there and the floor was not very clean. They have pretty great coffee but unfortunately my family and I will not be frequenting it again due to their cleanliness issues. Perhaps, it was just a one time thing but it was really...

Rendezvous is such a cute locally owned coffee shop. They also have great breakfast items and sticky buns. I love the homemade chai and that the beans are roasted right there for the espresso drinks. The latte that I had the other day had such a great flavor and the barista frothed it just perfectly. If one is so inclined; you can even have egg coffee...which isn't for me, but I think it is of Swedish heritage. The location of this coffee shop is great...just right off of County Road 5 in Isanti and it is well worth the stop at either the drive through or to take a little time and enjoy the quaintness of the interior. There are plenty of places to sit and the upper level is a fun spot as well. If you are looking for a great cup of coffee and you want to support local...stop in and you may even see the owner Warren or long time barista Jenna. Thanks for all...
