The Interchange Wine And Coffee Bistro

Avoid this place at all costs! It is extremely unsafe. The floors are filthy, the manager is disrespectful to the neighbors and community. The food is terrible. Hopefully, they will consider a different career path because they are detrimental to the community.

The lattes at the restaurant were excellent and we had positive interactions with two employees, Lexi and Stefan. However, we were disappointed to see that many customers and some employees, potentially including the manager or owner, were not wearing masks. The presence of t-shirts declaring independence from the governor and signs on the front door claiming exemption from Covid health regulations should have been warning signs for us. It was disheartening to witness this display of disregard for safety precautions, and we made sure to use hand sanitizer extensively after our visit. We hope that they did not receive assistance from Minnesota's small business relief grant.

I wanted to love this place. I really did. The atmosphere is fun and laidback. Their food? Less than spectacular. I've tried this place before and during COVID times and I have never been happy with the food. Small portions at a high rate would be fine if it tasted good. Alas, it is lackluster and sometimes downright awful. Stopped there last week and my half sandwich was not only hard as a rock but the filling was paltry. The coffee should have made up for it but it tasted burnt and was nearly impossible to drink.

The restaurant features local artwork and beautiful brick walls. The salads and sandwiches are delicious. We had a great time at trivia night and ended up winning. The wine list is also fantastic.

Order a latte in a mug (not paper). It is a work of art. If you sip at the bottom of the lotus flower gently, you can make the design last almost until the mug is empty.
