River Rock Coffee & Tea

This is one of the best hidden gems of the area. Vegan options, stellar coffee, great service, you literally can't ask for more. We had such a great experience we stopped before traveling out of town a second time that same morning. Seriously, this place deserves nothing but praises and you need to get a coffee here. Don't bother with Dunkin, this place is the real deal.

Cute spot for a coffee and treat during a 100 mile drive for a HS sporting event! I loved that they had unique options for both drinks & treats. I had the sweet Cardamon latte with 1/2 vanilla since I do not like my coffee sweet. It was excellent! I was torn between that and a Golden Milk Latte For a treat I have regret. I know it was really good but I should have ordered something else. Salted chocolate, rosemary & rye cookie. It was good probably excellent for big chocolate chip people. I do wish I had tried either the hermit, lemon yogurt cake or cornmeal raspberry muffin. They are more my preferred flavor profiles. Next time I am passing through St Peter I will be sure to stop again!

Really good coffee and tea and their customer service is top notch. I just had one of their basic drinks before getting ready for convention and it gave me the energy to keep going and get it done.

Delicious food. Great deli takeaway. Service was quick, friendly and helpful. I would go back here every time I'm in town. Yum.

Stopped by to try this small coffee shop and loved it. Drink menu has plenty of options and highlights their seasonal/specialty drinks. Food menu has something for everyone, with all fresh food. In addition, they have local items by counter and a fridge with even more food choices to purchase ala carte. Service was great, as the employee taking our order was patient as we made our selection and the items did not take long to be ready. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

St. Peter only has one cafe downtown, and fortunately for its residents, it is absolutely wonderful. The space is sparsely decorated but still adorable, with a good amount of seating despite its size. Their seasonal drink menus are so creative and delicious. The food menu is small but excellent, with a great selection of baked goods (try the rosemary, rye, and dark chocolate chip cookie to have your mind blown), as well as delicious breakfast and lunch options (they make the best tuna melt I have ever had). Lastly, their staff is incedible. Everyone I have encountered here is so sweet, patient, and helpful, even at their busiest. Whenever I have friends or family visit, River Rock is a must as far as local spots to take them.

A friend and me went here for lunch one day. The food was good and so were the drinks. If you like a plain coffee (not too sweet) they have that and if you like it sweeter, they have that. I got the plain bagel with sweet cream cheese, and it was a 6/10. I also got the potato + cheese and bacon handpie and that was an 8/10. Our drinks were seasonal; I'm not sure if they will still have them. We got the maple toasted marshmallow latte. The service was quick and the staff were pleasant.

Super cute well lit coffee shop. They serve breakfast, lunch, beer, wine, and of course coffee! Seating in the front and the back, calming and relaxing music. Great place to meet family/friends and/or study. At the end of our visit they walked around with a free sample of their scones, so good!

During my most recent trip to Iowa Great Lakes, Gayle and/or I stopped here 3 different times. The first one was in the morning coming down from MSP, the 2nd time was coming back from the Airport again last Sunday after dropping my Son David off at MSP, and the last time was Gayle and I driving to MSP for our flight home. I sometimes forget that St. Peter is a college town (Gustavus Adolphus) and that places like coffee shops, food coops, and nice restaurants are part of culture. River Rock is roughly the half way point between Spirit Lake and MSP, and having a nice cup of coffee and one of their delicious cookies or pastries is a great opportunity. As a bonus, they sell other baked goods, of which their bagels (I took home a half a dozen) are excellent. River Rock also has some nice art on the walls (some of it for sale), great counter service, and plenty of inside and outside seating. I haven't tried any of the Lunch options, and I'm sure there's lots of folks with laptops open doing work or study. In the heat of the summer or the cold of the winter, I'll take the interior comfort. There's also plenty of street parking available, especially if you choose a side road.

The people are wonderful , the coffee awesome . Best in state . We live in WI and come to visit Gusties and our Aunt . Every time the consist high quality occurs . If close , stop on for coffee and a snack . Enjoy .
