One of my favorite Minneapolis cafes is 😍 I love their coffee — of course, but I also go for the little shop they have. It's always filled with the cutest ceramics, candles + room sprays, self-care items, and "take-and-bake" style items. Always makes me feel like I have my life together whenever I go in Sundays 😩😂😂

Anyways, last time I went in they were restocking this rosemary marmalade and I thought it'd be FIRE in a mocktail. I was right 💁🏽‍♀️10/10 recommend for those that like big, bold, + complex flavored mocktails.
