Mixed Company - A Kava House

My husband and I stopped here on the way back to the city's. The staff was very friendly and the place was cute. I ordered a Mocha and he ordered a cafe miel. He really enjoyed his coffee but neither of us liked mine. It tasted very artificial like the chocolate was nothing more than a flavored syrup. I dont think we will be back.

Cute coffee shop in town! Banana bread latte was a seasonal special and was amazing. Great local spot with all your coffee needs! Lattes, cappuccinos, & breakfast items! Bakery is very good as well.

Best coffee shop in the Cayuna and Brainerd lakes area by far! We stop by every time we’re up here and often more than once. Friendly staff. Very good coffee. Good food. You’ve gotta stop by this place if you’re ever around the area!

We stopped by for coffee and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were smooth and rich, and everything was made with care. The staff was super friendly and kind—such a warm and welcoming vibe all around. Loved the atmosphere and will definitely be coming back again soon!

Awesome spot, good breakfast... but man I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed my breakfast didn't come with a side a actual kava. Maybe... just have some kava available in case someone comes in asking for it like me. That would have been awesome! 5 stars nontheless.

This place was so cute and adorable! I love the opportunity to buy local crafts around the shop. Not a ton of seating, but the atmosphere was lovely. The three ladies behind the counter were super helpful with the menu (delicious sandwiches) and were super charismatic and funny. The coffee hit the spot too!

If we paid for the smiles and great service this would have been the most expensive coffee place. Their welcoming friendly service makes you feel like family. A standout place to sit back enjoy coffee, pastries, food during lunch or breakfast; just superb. Easy street parking in Crosby Minnesota. Plenty of menu items and a nice little store in the back to shop around. If in the Cuyuna area, this stop should be a must. Chill and relax with nice beverages and conversation. I loved it.

I had the opportunity to eat from here several times while on a company trip. I had the pepperoni/ salami and mozzarella salami sandwich as well as the pulled pork. Both were delicious and fulfilling. I gave atmosphere one star because I've never actually visited the store.

Cozy little coffee shop in Crosby! Big kudos to them because it was delicious coffee and also had some very fun specialty menu items that made it hard to pick. I had the Carmel Butter Breve that had a nice butterscotch flavor to it. Some of the prices are a little high, but if their ingredients are made in house it would certainly be worth it; it was delicious none the less! The three young girls working were all very friendly and efficient as well. They had a fun white board "poll" where you could write your favorite summer memory which was a cute character of this small town energy

Popped in for coffee the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Staff were friendly and efficient. Nice coffee shop, comfortable inside with a good amount of seating. My coffee was made perfectly, and even though my son said he was not hungry he devoured the egg sandwich. They have ice cream, but it was like 10 in the morning, so the timing wasn't right for us. It was a fantastic experience, I would happily return.

A Kava House company that DOES NOT SELL KAVA?!! That's like the international House of Pancakes not having pancakes. LOCATION: Next to Victuals which I recommend you go to if you want a place that delivers more than expected. There's limited street parking. First come, first served. DECOR: Minimalistic and modernly clean and sleek. Mostly white with natural accents of wood and metals. DRINKS: NO KAVA do I want interested in else was there. FOOD: There was plenty of 90's era candy. Warheads, ring pops, pop rocks and sugar daddys. It was a blast from the past. STAFF: Kind, apologetic and youthful. EXPERIENCE: My partner has never had kava before and decides to stop in at this place. She's very excited about trying kava which she's heard so much about. So we walk inside and it's as quiet as a library. No music and no conversation as though everyone stopped talking when we walked in. We walked to the front counter and asked where the kava was on the menu. Then we were told how the kava house has no kava. If it weren't for the nostalgic candy and cute decor, I'd say 1 star. It's the only reason we even stopped in. That's literally false advertisement. The very kind and sweet staff told us that it wasn't even legal for them to sell kava because they were minors. So you work at a Kava House that doesn't sell kava because it employs minors or the kava house is a lie and doesn't even have kava? Either way, why would I come back? I can get candy and coffee at a candy or coffee shop.

I have not tried the coffee yet but my family absolutely loves it. I had the Mediterranean turkey sandwich - it was delicious and the bread was the perfect compliment. My husband had the chicken salad and that was good, too. Wonderful service - Elsa is the best!! The ambiance is great, too, really lovely and welcoming. We will most likely go here every day of our vacation!

WOW WOW WOW! Delicious coffee for a GREAT price! I ordered an iced cinnamon dolce. Due to the current season of Covid I ordered for pick up. The website and ordering system is easy to use and I was so shocked to see all the food options too. Also, I was very impressed when Tammy came outside and told me the daily special. (I love being informed). I placed my order after pulling up to the shop. After placing my order it was delivered quickly (only took 4 mins). My ordered mentioned more of a 15 minute wait so I was very happy when it came out sooner then the estimated time! Tammy one of the barista's brought so much joy to me during my mixed company experience. She has such a shining spirit filled with laughter and care. This place is a win win! Good taste, great customer service, inexpensive! Thanks to everyone! Great place!

Elsa is the best! Such a friendly person and she makes a great cup of coffee! (Pro tip: the lemon bar ice cream is wicked good.)

It's a pretty comfy inside. The coffee was all right, I think the oat milk didn't taste very good. Homemade scones were decent size and enjoyable. I didn't love the screens behind the counter, they felt very anti-cute coffee shop. Workers were helpful and nice!

We stopped for caffeine and a snack on our way through. I got a white chocolate mint mocha for the first time in I-don't-know-how-long since it had a cute name, and it was great. The kids were begging for ice cream at 10am, but settled for some yummy pastries. Loved the decor and collection of misc dining tables. Servers were very nice. We'll be back!

They have really good coffee and smaller food options. Everything I have tried has been delicious and I would highly recommend. The shops has a fair amount of seating. It is very affordable. The employees are so kind and friendly.

Excellent coffee and friendly staff. wish they opened earlier but its still worth waiting for.

This place is the best! Great coffee and awesome staff. The crunas are superb but you need to get there early if you want one

If you're looking for a simple scoop of ice cream or cup of coffee this is a good spot. Straight forward drinks and ice cream flavors made it easy for our family to get in and out. If you're looking for gifts this might not be the place for you but totally worth a quick stop in.

Cute place serves up a surprisingly delicious latte! Likely the best one I have experienced to date in my travels around Minnesota. Easily on par with the high end shops of the big cities. Unfortunately they don't carry whole milk but are quick to doctor it with half and half. WARNING: I learned the hard way, their hours on social media and map apps have them closing at 7pm. Seasonally they close at 5pm. Check before making a special trip.

Whether your looking for coffee, breakfast, lunch or even a sweet treat! This is the spot! Mixed company has become one of my regular stops! There is always a fresh baked treat awaiting your purchase on the counter just like at grandmas. If your a local there are many times that your order is not required cause the staff is already making it! By far one of my favorite places in the Crosby area!

What a happy find after miles at Cuyuna--gluten free delicious panini with a strong Americano. The sandwich, with its savory pulled pork, salty ham, mustard and Swiss was the perfect, satisfying, salty meal. Great service, good prices. We'll definitely stop again.

I love mixed company. Great food great atmosphere wonderful people would recommend it for a quick sandwich or a good cup of coffee.

Mixed company has delicious coffee and lunch options! It is my go to stop for coffee! The staff is extremely nice and it is always cleanly.

Great little shop that has breakfast items, sandwiches, and ice cream! Staff was fantastic- friendly and welcoming. Had a ham, egg n cheese panini which was terrific! The Mocha was good too. Will be back again when in town. Worth a stop if your nearby

Great atmosphere! Good food and coffee, don't forget the Ice cream!

Fantastic food after riding miles at Cuyuna. Cold smoked salmon bagel sandwich and wild rice soup were great!!

A really special experience! Jana and Gracie were so welcoming to me (a packer fan from milwaukee) ...I will definitely be back, because Jana likes her coffee like she likes her men...tall and hot. Highly recommend mixed company to tourists and locals alike.

I had a take out lunch at this small cafe on August 12th, 2014. It was the best meal of my 6 day Minnesota trip....! Really! The sandwich was absolutely delicious. The foccacia bread was super fresh, thin and very tasty. It was a turkey sandwich; I don't remember the other ingredients, just that it tasted great and had healthy ingredients with a generous portion of turkey meat. I live in CA with many good restaurants, lots of fresh local produce & good bakeries and this place could definitely hold it's own where I live on the coast. I also had their rich homemade brownie (carmel & chocolate)--yum! My only gripe is that I was appalled when they put my take out in a styrofoam container. This has long been banned where I live as it is absolutely the worst plastic in the world. It never breaks down. Since they have fresh food of high quality, they should consider upgrading to a better, more environmentally friendly packaging system.

Stopped in on our way home from the cabin. What a treasure!!! Lovely, homey feeling coffee shop with excellent food! My latte was amazing, best I've ever had and my husband raved about his regular drip coffee. Our family devoured the just out of the oven cinnamon rolls...to die for! My daughter who loves a good cinnamon roll said on a scale of 1-10 it was a 100! My husband and I had the breakfast sandwiches, also so good. Very fresh and great quality ingredients. Better than any like place in the Minneapolis area, and we've been to several! Her attention to detail and interest in providing great quality were so impressive and showed in how great everything tasted! She was also very thoughtful and attentive regarding our kids needs, also a nice touch! We'll be back... Can't wait to try the sandwiches and soup for lunch which all sounded equally as wonderful as our breakfast!!

We came here for lunch. I thought this place was good, but not 4 stars good. The staff were very kind and helpful. I had the Tuscan chicken, my friend had the Med Turkey both were good. My son had the ham & chesse and really liked it. It's a nice atmosphere and nice people, but the food was pretty average.

Fabulous coffee + smoothies! Love this little coffee shop. Can't wait to try more of their menu items!

Great place for coffee and espresso. There is always a good vibe here as its always a hub of meetups of all ages.

Visiting from Washington and being a coffee shop owner myself, I'm pretty picky about my coffee. I got a double tall Americano with cream. The shots were well pulled and the service was friendly. I did not eat there but I did note that gluten free bread was available. Nice stop in a town without many choices.

Stopped by for lunch while visiting the area from KC for mountain biking at Cuyana Lakes Trails. We were both impressed with the creative ingredients and quality of the sandwiches we enjoyed. Very tasty! Also great coffee drinks and yummy desserts that we took back to our campsite. I would totally recommend this eatery.
