Nas Cafe started with a simple idea: a place near the water where you could get a real cup of coffee and actually want to stay a while. So we found a corner in Prior Lake, put a few tables on the patio, and pointed them at Lake Minnetonka.

We don't roast our own beans — we leave that to the folks down the road who do it better than we ever could. What we do is pull careful shots, laminate our croissants by hand, and learn your name and your order somewhere around the third visit.

Mostly we're here for the regulars: the early walkers, the laptop crowd, the friends who turn one coffee into three. Come find your spot.
