Cabin Coffee Co — Restaurant in St. Charles

Happy Juneteenth everyone! This weekend we went to Wild River State park. The park has no WIFI and offers me an excellent respite from all electronic gadgets. Heck, my phone doesn't even work there. Sounds like heaven right? Right! So, while it was a good weekend on Monday morning I had to call into work for a 2 hour mtg. As there is no WIFI at the park, I had to drive to the nice little town of St. Charles to find WIFI. I quickly saw Cabin Coffee and decided to give it a try. Ordered a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich (#3). The person taking my order saw my laptop and knew I'd be staying. She gave me coffee in a real cup. No paper, no plastic, it was a real cup, and I loved it! The breakfast sandwich was delish. The egg and bacon tasted so fresh and was nicely cooked. The WIFI worked perfectly, and my meeting went well. It normally doesn't, so I may need to credit the cup of coffee or the very nice sandwich for the quality and results of the meeting. I should also share that this place is so charming and feels like a cabin. It was very comfortable to be there. There were plenty of others there too. Most were smiling, others laughing with friends and family. A few others were either reading from a device or book, and another person seemed to be in a meeting too. I really like Cabin Coffee and the staff, and...

I always make it a point to stop at Cabin Coffee Co. when I take Highway 14 on my way to Rochester. It’s become a little tradition of mine—there’s just something about the cozy, cabin atmosphere that makes the long drive so much more enjoyable.

The frappuccinos here are amazing—smooth, creamy, and perfectly blended every time. I get the Mocha Frap, but they have so many flavors to choose from. They also have great seasonal options, so I’m always excited to see what’s new! It’s the perfect pick-me-up, whether I’m starting my day or taking a break during the drive.

The staff is always so friendly, and I love the fact that I can get in and out quickly with the drive-thru if I'm in a rush, or just sit back and relax in their cozy little space. It’s a nice way to break up the drive and stretch my legs...

This is the slowest, yet most friendly coffee shop I've been to. I've made around 15-18 trips to Rochester using 14 and have stopped at this Cabin Coffee on many of those trips. I learned very early that if you want an espresso drink or 2/3, be prepared to wait for quite a while. If you get a breakfast item, add on more time. Compared to the efficiency of baristas at Starbucks...well there is no comparison. On the other hand, I have never felt welcomed, appreciated, and valued at a Starbucks the way I do when I visit this Cabin location. The workers/managers are some of the genuinely nicest people I've interacted with as a customer and they really care about making your order right. This is small town Minnesota, and you get the best of small town Minnesota...
