The Anchor Coffee House — Restaurant in White Bear Lake

Such a cute fun little coffee shop in downtown White Bear Lake. They have a variety of fun drinks and pastries. The seating is a bit limited because the coffee shop is fairly small, but I loved the variety of eating areas available. I tried the maple latte with cinnamon sprinkled on top. I'm lactose intolerant and they had milk alternatives.

Update: I've been back several times because it's a great location, the drinks are good, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the employees are kind.

I gave this place 3 stars bc it is my first visit. The barista was lovely, is still very new to being a barista; but gladly takes your order with a smile and helpful attitude. I didn't meet the owner or really anyone who's there, but that doesnt detract from good service.

One other reason I detracted a star, tho not theory fault, is that they have terrible parking. In their defense, all of downtown as terrible parking.

I would, however, completely go again and...
