ESSENCE OF COFFEE
Coffee shops like Essence of Coffee , Speed Goat Express Coffee , or Alternative Fuel are there for a caffeine kick or a light snack. For more substance, grab a smash burger from Dakota Meat Company , a Mashed Potato Pizza from Independent Ale House , or warm up with some noodles from Bokujō Ramen . If a locally-brewed beer sounds like it would hit the spot, Firehouse Brewing Company , Hay Camp Brewing Company , and Woodland Republic Brewing & Blending are a few great options where you can raise a glass on a winter’s day. Cocktails more your speed? Juniper at Vertex Sky Bar atop Hotel Alex Johnson has both talented mixologists and one of the best views of the city 10 stories up with a heated outdoor patio. Nearby, Windsor Block Bar also has a vast menu with carefully-curated cocktails and mocktails. For a full sit-down experience, a city favorite is Tally’s Silver Spoon . The menu is inspired by local flavors and is made with seasonal ingredients. Guests can order off the regular menu or select the Indecision Menu . “[For the Indecision Menu], your table chooses if you want between two to five courses, and the chefs will create a tasting menu for you,” said Meyer. “I’ve never had the same tasting menu twice, and I’ve never been disappointed with the experience Actually, I’m only disappointed if I don’t save room for the ice cream sampler from their dessert menu.”
