What People Are Saying
from Google"What a great place to do work and eat! Such a clean and welcoming environment. Service was super friendly and fast. I got the yogurt with homemade oats and a hot mocha. I highly recommend if you’re needing a coffee and a quick bite!"
"Great coffee at a reasonable price in downtown White Bear Lake. The specialty drinks are tasty. I go for an americano most times. The scones are great when I’ve had them. The breakfast burrito was tasty but pretty small - for the price I probably wouldn’t get again and stick to the pastry selection. Parking can be hit or miss depending on how busy the area is. But there is street parking and lots throughout the area. The staff is always very nice. The space doubles as a wine bar at night and can be rented out I think from what I’ve seen which could be nice for a large group. A good amount of seating with various arrangement from large table to smaller 1 and 2 person tables. There is outdoor seating now too. I would recommend this place if you’re in the area. Hit up the book store on the same row while you’re at it or walk to the lake."
"Happened upon this coffee shop over the weekend. It looks like it operates as a restaurant on Saturday evenings--Margaux's Table. My husband got his usual cold brew and I got a cortado and London Fog. We also ordered a breakfast burrito and a breakfast sandwich. I'm not a Vegetarian but I got the black bean breakfast burrito. Both dishes were very good! Small, but satisfying. I especially love the modern farmhouse feel of the space. Very beautiful, very relaxing. Everything was fantastic! Plenty of seating in two different rooms. And, it looks like outdoor seating out back when it's warmer. Definitely check them out!"
"cute spot, great location, plenty of seating indoors and outdoors! i got their seasonal cold brew which was delicious, however the size of the breakfast burrito really floored me. $5 and it was the size of an egg roll. i genuinely have never seen a breakfast burrito that small. it was smaller than the tube of daisy sour cream they gave me to dip it in!! that was crazy and i definitely would not have ordered it as it was not justifiable for the price."
"I stopped by The Anchor Coffee House and ordered an iced chai with brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla—easily one of the best chai drinks I’ve had. The flavors were perfectly balanced: sweet, spiced, and smooth. What I really loved is that it felt like a homemade, cozy experience instead of something from a big chain. The café has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and you can tell they care about quality. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their drinks!"
