You work tirelessly, giving everything you have to care for the people around you.

It doesn’t go unnoticed.

From dishwasher and barista to co-owner and general manager, Will has helped raise the bar on Rochester’s coffee scene — building Café Steam into a collection of eclectic coffee shops and community gathering places.

A couple of years ago, we went on a road trip looking for new ideas. One of our first stops: The Chocolate Shoppe in Mantorville, Minn.

They’ve been delighting customers in our store ever since.

We are so fortunate to have small business neighbors like Lynnette. She and her family put so much care into doing their craft the right way, using time-honored techniques and recipes passed down from generation to generation. No shortcuts. Just some of the best chocolate you'll ever have!
