Coffee Talk — Restaurant in Taylors Falls

Dear Diary, Many years ago, i visited a quaint little coffee shop in rural Minnesota. I thought everything was normal, but it could not have become more complicated. On that fateful day, I met two charming men. Stefano, and Jake. Stefano was a nice boy of twenty-four years, with hair as dark as the night and converse as blue as the sea. Stefano was drop-dead gorgeous. Jake on the other hand, was a bad boy. Jake was slightly taller than Stefano, and his luscious curls seemed to dangle from his head like the mane of a powerful lion. I was madly in love with both of them. I had to spend the rest of my life with one of them. But I couldn’t choose! Stefano or Jake? Jake or Stefano? The question loomed in my consciousness like a thunderstorm in the distance. Nobody could’ve predicted what happened next. The most gorgeous woman I had ever seen walked through the door of the coffee shop. She approached the counter, and greeted Jake with a “hi sweetie”. Jake responded, “hi mom”. Jake’s mother and I locked eyes. Without any words, we grasped each others hands and ran out the door. Jake’s mom and I drove off into the sunset and grew old together in a small cottage in Michigan.

Nestled in the quaint little small town of Taylor's falls, this is a locally owned coffee shop you won't want to miss. They have all of your basic coffee choices to choose from as well as teas, and a few bakery options such as their delicious homeade morning buns (must try) or grab a vegan granola bar to go with your drinks. They also sell bulk coffee so you can have some at home! Weather permitting, there is a lovely patio out back surrounded by trees or a covered porch out front to enjoy your drinks on or there are multiple tables to sit at inside or a bar with stools where you can watch the barista make the drinks. Head over to the local drive in or hike at nearby Interstate Park along the river after enjoying your cup of coffee. Important to note, they take CASH ONLY so make sure you have some on you...

Great coffee spot! I loved watching the barista carefully weigh the beans and time the shot — it set the tone for an excellent espresso experience. And it truly was some of the best espresso I’ve ever had.

The shop has a cute, welcoming atmosphere and a wide variety of flavor options, though honestly, the espresso is so good you don’t even need to add anything to it.

When we visited, the line was to the door and it took about 25 minutes to get our drinks. There was just one employee at the counter, but they were working as quickly and efficiently as possible. Given the quality of the coffee, the wait felt...
