Food Write: The Coffee Shop NE ... Consistently a Pleasure

Greeting Text

Following twenty years of farmer's markets selling locally grown vegetables, native fruits, and local honey Linda created Marianne's Kitchen in Shoreview, MN, an oasis of good food, conversation and laughter in a suburban food desert. Operating from 2011-2017 the cafe offered home made soups, fresh bread baked daily, great sandwiches and treats and a complete line of gluten-free soups, pickled products, jams, jellies, salsas and locally sourced soups, honey and grains.

The Marianne's Kitchen of sharing, conversation, and learning continues with ongoing commentary, food reviews and food finds as we grow, cook and eat our food and sample local restaurants.

The Coffee Shop NE ... Consistently a Pleasure

I just have to post these photos....

We made sandwiches for 7 years at Marianne's Kitchen, so we appreciate a gorgeous sandwich.

This masterpiece is hummus & veggie on toasted multi-grain at The Coffeeshop NE. Pickle & veggie chips included.

For 7 years I tried hard every week to innovate in salad creations. Coffee shop NE always pushes that same salad envelope, today with apricot chicken salad (& I only put apricots in the pepper jelly & house-made sauces for pork sandwiches —-I gotta up my game!!!!)

And just ignore that little piece of ‘appetizer’ —- we often start our meal there with a thick chunk of quick bread—always many choices — each with a great combo of ingredients. ...plus it’s a perfect partner for their awesome cold brew.
