Avocado toast was amazing! The coffee drinks are pretty, but nothing overly special. The kitchen closed down early, so I was only able to get avocado toast, but it was REALLY GOOD avocado toast.

; Looove this place! Spacious. WiFi. Parking lot. Mini sauna. Food. Coffee. Pastries. Friendly service. Aesthetic AF. I mean... I have nothing bad to say. I would like to mention that one night, I did show up for a meeting. The boyfriend was suppose to meet me there right after, but ended up being late showing up 15 minutes before they were closing and the girls never rushed out of the place. Out of respect, we still left before closing, but that good feeling of not having to feel rushed my the employees because it's closing time. Thank you Parallel and your team! You guys never disappoint.
I absolutely love this restaurant, though the loud music can be a bit much. Nevertheless, I'm giving it a five-star rating because it's truly outstanding. Their matcha is fantastic, as is the chai. If you ask nicely, they may even create a delightful half-and-half iced latte with both matcha and chai. It's incredibly delicious!
A truly wonderful coffee shop! I absolutely love the interior design. The location may be a bit unwelcoming, but it doesn't deter me from returning.
Parallel is one of my favorite coffee spots in the Twin Cities! The avocado toast on the menu is incredible, with flavors that are perfectly balanced and harmonize beautifully. I highly recommend adding a side of bacon, which they drizzle with maple syrup—it's simply delicious! I always get a maple latte as well, and it's fantastic. The staff is great, and the atmosphere is truly delightful.
