Loco Espress Coffee House & Boutique

Loco Espresso Coffee is a great spot for a quick, quality stop. They’re fast, the staff is always friendly, and the service is consistently solid. I usually order their Zingers (so good!), and their coffee is excellent as well. I haven’t tried the food yet, but I’ve heard great things. I also love that they offer punch cards, it’s a nice perk for regulars. The only thing that would make it even better is a drive-through for an easier stop on my way to work. Highly recommend!

Great decor, food and drink selection. Good WiFi. Can get a little noisy when busy. Why not have real instead of plastic silverware? Avoid the waste. Thanks!

My favorite place for a oatmeal latte.

I love this coffee shop / also boutique! Delicious drinks with lots of options, reasonable prices for a coffee shop, super cute and cozy atmosphere with seating as well outside during nice spring to Fall seasons! :) The staff are always really kind, a plus is they have other drink options like milk and apple juice for kids, and I love they have a free little library in the corner!! My favorite thing is as a Christian, I love all of the encouraging Bible verse stickers, shirts, books and paintings they sell! I see everyone in here from old to young, just visiting with friends or family, doing school or work, as well as Bible study groups and church goers before and after services on Sundays! :)

I got a drip coffee here and it tasted so bad I ended up going to another place to get a cup that was drinkable. It was very light and acidic tasting. There were 4-5 people working and it wasn’t busy (it was an early Sunday morning) but all of the coffee self serve add ins like sugar etc were completely empty. They have non dairy oat milk but it is not certified GF if that is something you need. Staff was not sure about allergens, did allow me to look at the label which was helpful. If you like strong tasting coffee this probably isn’t the place for you.

Staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and eager. Food is amazing, with a nice selection of healthy items. Atmosphere is awesome! Always a favorite in the Brainerd Lakes Area!

Great drinks but it takes a long time. If they are really busy there is no organization to make sure orders are filled in the order in which they came in. Waited 20 minutes with 2 young boys for 4 drinks while the people that came in after us got their orders first. I even mentioned it to the gal making the drinks and still waited another 15 minutes. They kept saying they were short staffed which is understandable but the lack of organization lead to the issue, not the lack of staff. When we finally got our beverages my Minnesota fog was so hot it took over an hour to cool down to the point I could drink it, an issue I have brought up to staff before. I love the drinks but unfortunately I don’t think I will be back again.

We were on a little couples' getaway, wandering through northern Minnesota, when we discovered Loco through a quick Google search. With so many glowing reviews, we had to check it out—and we're so glad we did! Housed in a beautifully repurposed old train station, Loco immediately charmed us. What a brilliant way to bring people together again in a space once built for connection. And the name? So clever!

The patio was inviting, the atmosphere peaceful, and the staff couldn’t have been sweeter or more knowledgeable. I ordered the maple butter chai (absolutely delicious), and my husband had the bananas foster coffee—such a treat! Our breakfast was just as amazing.

If we lived nearby, we’d definitely be regulars. The menu was full of tempting options, and as a loose tea fanatic, I was thrilled with their incredible selection.

Huge thanks to the Loco team for a truly memorable experience!

Egg bagel sandwich was fresh and tasty. Flight of seasonal coffees was a fun experience though a little pricey and one of the drinks flavor was not good so didn't finish it. Was very busy on a Friday morning and no seats were available. Staff were friendly and professional. Store was a little disorganized.
