Taking a cue from Explore Minnesota, Rebekah and I ventured out to Cafe Astoria in St Paul this morning. Just off Grand Avenue and West Seventh Street, the independent, locally owned coffee house is tucked away inside the historic Paulina building.As home-away-from-home as it gets, Astoria is intimate, cozy and comfortable. While they are known for their smoothie bowls, crepes, oatmeal, and homemade pastries, we came for their famous 24K gold lattes. I mean, look at those things! Rainbows, marshmallows, edible gold… Could there be anything better?! If you are looking for a fun adventure, head to Cafe Astoria.Tip: Ask about their “secret menu!”
