Barista Day is coming up, making now the perfect time to visit some of our locally-owned coffee shops and show your appreciation! Here are a few we recommend. 

1. Cafe Astoria: 180 Grand Ave. St. Paul, MN 55102
   If you've been looking at St. Paul homes for sale, you'll want to familiarize yourself with Cafe Astoria. You'll love the warm, cozy environment and the unique food and drink menu.

When we're showing Minneapolis homes for sale one of the selling points about the area is the cultural diversity it offers, especially when it comes to dining options. The Twin Cities are home to plenty of authentic Mexican restaurants where you can celebrate Cinco De Mayo. 

Although this year will be much different from what we're used to, you can still order takeout and have your own mini celebration at home. When you head out to pick up your food, you can also drive around and check out the curb appeal of some of the beautiful Saint Paul homes for sale. 

Not sure where to go? Here are a few of our favorite local Mexican restaurants that are currently offering takeout and delivery options.

The hamburger may be the quintessential all-American food, but the Juicy Lucy, with gooey cheese hidden inside the burger instead of sitting on top, is a Twin Cities original. Our real estate agents share their favorite places to enjoy this local classic.

• Baldamar - 1642 County Road, B2 West, Roseville 55113
  The Juicy Lucy is a Twin Cities tradition, but a new restaurant near Roseville homes for sale is adding an updated twist. Baldamar is a contemporary steakhouse "with old-world craft at its core and modern-day meat-eaters in mind." Their reinvented Juicy Lucy is made with a blend of venison and Kobe beef stuffed with smoked Gouda and served on a brown butter pretzel roll. Pair your burger with a selection from the impressive list of bottled and draught beer. Baldamar is open for lunch until 4 p.m. every day but Sunday. Dinner is served seven days a week and a Sunday brunch buffet is offered from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.
