We were unaware of Chocolate Chime ‘s game, but with crepes drenched in chocolate, bubble waffles doused in matcha sauce and topped with ice cream, and a tray of Dubai chocolate nachos (???), we won’t make that mistake again 🍓🍫

They’ve got a customizable dessert menu if you like things a certain way, fun blended drinks, and even coffee now!

If you have a sweet tooth, definitely stop by the next time you’re in Blaine 🔔

Winery day trip, anyone? 👀

We finally made it out to Dancing Dragonfly Winery and we just are clueless as to why we waited this long to check them out! 🤯

The hour drive is nothing compared to their beautiful grounds, delicious bites (shoutout to that baked parmesan), sweet staff and of course.. incredible wine! 🍷

It’s really easy to spend an entire day here - we absolutely loved the tour and getting to see the backend of everything that goes down here! 🤌🏻

Their annual Grape Stomp is coming around the corner (about a month away) and honestly, we can’t wait! Send this to the group chat and plan your next mini trip here! 💥

There’s a reason we keep coming back to Great Big Game Show !

With the real sound stage, friendly hosts, and fast-paced mini games, we love that we can come here again and again, and the experience is different every time. We celebrated a birthday this time around, and it was definitely a night to remember!

This lowkey feels like a spot Jay Gatsby would’ve gone to 🥂

We checked out Belleandgreywayzata at The Hotel Landing and were in awe of everything from the dining room to the service to the food! Their cocktails were so refreshing and such a vibe on their gorgeous patio. And the food was all amazing, but honestly? We’re still thinking about the key lime pie, so definitely save room for dessert!

Save this for your next special night out ✨

We stumbled upon Flamingos Ice Cream & Treats when it was super hot the other week and can’t stop thinking about it 🦩

They have homemade classics and stunning artisanal flavors, but out of everything we tried, the Peach Crisp definitely stole the show (that homemade crisp, helloooo???). And don’t sleep on the Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich, either! TBH though… Everything was hitting.

Our only regret was not being able to try them all. Guess we gotta go to their location in Fridley for more 😉

Three kinds of Belgian chocolate on ONE crepe?! 🍫👀

We checked out Melt n Dip Minnesota in Spring Lake Park and their crepe stole the show, strawberry, banana, pineapple, kiwi, all drenched in milk, dark, and white chocolate. 10/10! Their fresh juices are also a must, especially the strawberry and mango 🥭

They just opened and it’s already becoming the hangout. Go check it out!

The 3 farmers markets in Minneapolis that we never miss. 🌿🥕🍅

It’s our favorite season, farmers market season! While there are plenty of amazing markets across the city, the ones hosted by Neighborhood Roots just hit different.

Each one has its own unique flair. If you’re looking for local vendors representing South Minneapolis, head to the Southwest Farmers Market. If you want incredible produce, delicious food, and the perfect park day all in one, the Kingfield Farmers Market is your spot. And if you need a midweek pick-me-up with a little retail therapy, Nokomis Farmers Market is the one for you.

We truly love all three, so if you can, make it to each one before the season ends!
