“Very good customer service. I felt like the staff did their best and treated me like family through great customer service. Enjoyed their specialty espresso drinks which were made to order by their barista. Had the hot turkey & cheese sandwich and it was so good. The space and vibes were amazing. I plan to support this small black business in Brooklyn Center, MN ❤️“

“We had a thoroughly joyful family morning at Caribou Coffee! We felt so lucky finding open outdoor seating right away because it was buzzing. The iconic Campfire Mochas were rich, sweet, and extraordinarily flavorful, while the warm breakfast sandwiches and baked treats hit the spot for our whole family. Fresh pastries pleased everyone. Friendly baristas made our family morning visit completely pleasant and relaxing!“

“This place finally got the decor upgrade that every other Starbucks in the area has had for over a year. I was not expecting curtains! For all the folks who remote work, no need to have a fake backgrounds in your virtual meetings now. Place got boujee.

Baristas are always friendly and there are no other coffee shops with early hours like Starbucks. In fact, think there are no other coffee shops in Brooklyn Center.

Banana bread matcha is their best drink concoction ever.“

“buena atención amplió parqueo“

“I love there frybread they need to come set yup at super stop“

“Stopped in for a late lunch on the patio. Was interested in a bitters & soda and the server recommended mixing the rhubarb and cardamom, which was delicious and refreshing. Followed that with the Chix Correa sandwich and a side salad. Wow! Really creative flavors and well-executed. Could tell everything was made from scratch and with high quality ingredients and care. Also the decor was fun and hip, the music top-notch, and the staff kind. I look forward to coming back soon!“

“Great neighborhood vibes and great neighbors. Drinks are top-notch, snacks are creative, staff is wonderful. Glad to have them be so nearby.“

“this company is anti-law and order. personally, I don't need a latte, while I'm watching the local Somalia men gangbang some guys underage daughter. what a sick Place Minneapolis is. you let the weaklings bully you. you could have just ignored then, but instead you put the sign up like the little baby you are“

“Coffee is amazing ❤️ and customer service is lovely 😊“

“My favorite coffee shop in town. Lovely baristas who know my order before I even get to the counter. My child is always so excited to go there on the weekends. Plus, their dedication to kindness, justice, and inclusiveness in our community is inspiring.“

“I’ve been to this location a handful of times over the years and it has always been great. Today I tried their “all day all night” latte and it was the perfect sweet to coffee ratio.
I haven’t sat inside for an extended period of time, but I can’t imagine the setup of this location works well if you need to focus. It can get pretty loud.“

“Great coffee place! What makes this place special is the owners providing a separate building for AA meetings that run from dusk to dawn. Now that is Good Karma!“

“This place is not inexpensive; but the food is worth every single penny. It’s unique, it’s vegan, it’s delicious, and it’s healthy. The atmosphere is very comfortable. (although the music was a little bit loud for conversation). I shared the cauliflower tacos and hummus plate and we each had a glass of wine and took the yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy cheesecake home (the cheesecake seemed expensive at the time; but I will purchase it again and again. Every taste was Yum Yum Yum Yum.). a lot of times when I go out to eat I think; I could’ve saved money and just ate at home. However, I truly felt my money was well spent! The food was fresh. Very tasty. The arugula salad was phenomenal, even though it was very simple. I need to come back here way more often. Thank you very much for your dedication to healthy, tasty, vegan food. Also, their dedication to quality continues year after year. I think that’s wonderful.“

“Great atmosphere, great coffee and the best caprese sandwich around.“

“I used to live in the neighborhood so I try to visit when I can. I always love it, even when it’s chaotic. People need their coffee! Ha! Love the owner and the team. Thanks for brightening the mornings and being a staple in the neighborhood.“

“Always a unique selection, friendly service and great tasting ice cream! I need to make up excuses to treat myself. :) The apple crisp and oatmeal raison cookie flavors are 👌“

“We wanted to try somewhere new and were pleasantly surprised. It’s a very welcoming, comfortable environment with excellent coffee. Lots of board games, stickers, and artwork inside with both tables and booths to sit at. We ordered the salty midwestern latte and an iced americano which were both fantastic.“

“The coffee is amazing! And the staff is always so friendly!“

“fajita breakfast burrito is where it's at.“

“Found it by accident while in town. Met one of my friends there at the same time. Great little coffee shop. Busy but plenty of space to chill over a cup.“

“Nice atmosphere! I don't drink coffee, but I enjoyed their chai latte and they had a bunch of delicious looking pastry options. Also love that the profits support youth futsal programs!“

“They have wonderful chai, a good breakfast and very chill vibes. Great little coffee shop!“

“Loved Hey Bear. They had a really great egg biscuit sandwhich. I'd usually get the chorizo breakfast burrito. It was all so well priced, filling, and tasted great.

They announced a temporary closure starting July 3rd while they reworked the menu and potentially renovated. But I stopped by just last week and the sign explaining the closure had been removed. The large sign and tarp covering the windows had also been removed. In its place was an open sign and a completely unrelated restraunt with no branding.

Hey Bear has been radio silent since they announced the closing and it seems like they are gone for good. Extremely unfortunate. The area really benefited from a good to-go breakfast spot. My commute to work is now lacking a good breakfast option. Very sad to see them go so silently. What seemed like a break turned into a sudden closure.“

“Great coffee! Best coffee prices around. Always great, friendly and fast service! Local owned family business. Can’t recommend them enough. Go check them out and you won’t be disappointed!“

“Hands down the best tea shop in the entire midwest 👌 knowledgeable staff and very high quality tea. Never disappoints! great selection of teaware as well ^__^“

“Great Ethiopian coffee! It's my "go to" place every weekday morning!“

“Delightful coffee experience. Something for everybody from sweet matchas and lattees or a hot pot of coffee to share with a friend. They have the best moist cakes and sweet treats. Charming atmosphere with patio seating and lots of natural light indoors.“

“Wow!! First time here and it did not disappoint!! Delicious!!“

“Great food and great service! Highly recommend!“

“Wow what an incredible concept! It’s beautiful inside, super chill, and comfy. You can drink delicious coffee, browse records with friends and get into film 🎥 🎞️ development?!!!?! 🤩“

“Best coffee this side of the Mississippi.“

“I had such a great experience at Compassion Coffee. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and cozy. The staff were friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. My drink was made perfectly and tasted great. It’s the kind of place you want to sit, relax, and stay for a bit. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick caffeine fix or meeting a friend, this spot really delivers. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Amazing vibes, amazing decor, amazing art & even more amazing coffee!!! I LOVE coffee shops like this have such unique soul to them. Stopped in with the Twin Cities passport. This place is amazing. Loved the down tempo music playing, such a chill place. The iced latte was strong & delish. Their coffee is really worth the hype as being dubbed as one of the best in the city. Yep. Totally agree.“

“My favorite vanilla latte in town. And you can’t beat the entertainment watching traffic. 😂“

“Amazing food, fun atmosphere, and great service each time. Def recommend the wagyu sandwich and the garlic paste is my favorite thing to smother on everything. So good!“

“The food and coffee is so yummy and the workers are always kind! We love this place!“

“Perfect addition to the emerging coffee scene in Columbia Heights. Exceptional coffee and excellent vibes!“

“Adorable coffee shop with vegan bakery items - the staff were seriously the best. Joyful, greeting regulars by name and clearly enjoying working together.

Sarah & Safa were great to offer ideas of what to visit during our quick weekend in Minneapolis.

I realize now as an out of town guest this is a chain but definitely didn’t give a chain feel.“

“Very supportive, welcoming place to play games and make friends— really supportive of younger players, making a safe, inclusive space for “Junior Planeswalkers!”“

“Best iced homemade chai!!“

“I've been here many times and really enjoy the coffee, treats and overall vibe. I noticed many reviews note how clean it is in the various seating areas. I didn't experience that in my most recent visit. There are cobwebs in the plants, the floor needs to be swept and the couches had crumbs all over them. I think more attention needs to be paid to general tidying in the cafe seating. People sit there and may clean up but the customers don't work there. Crumbs happen, people leave straw wrappers and coffee leaves rings on side tables. I was sitting there for over an hour and a half, in that time I didn't see a single staff member come out to wipe anything or pickup the tray that was sitting on the trash bin the whole time. I gotta be honest, it gave me the ick. Is there a new automated air freshener being used? There was also an intermittent and overpowering waft of floral scent every once in a while. Didn't go with the coffee house vibe at all. I hope my next visit is better.“

“Excellent service and staff! Highly recommend. Friendly service and excellent food. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Lovely atmosphere. Educational experience. Helpful and friendly staff.“

“The food here is AMAZING. We used them for my bridal shower and everyone LOVED them!“

“This coffee shop is truly one of a kind! 🩷☕️ The humans who work here make the experience so welcoming from the moment you walk in. Kudos ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ And I don’t say this lightly — I’ve been ordering coffee for decades, and this is hands down the best iced coffee I’ve ever had! If you haven’t stopped by yet, you’re missing out 🙌🐒-T-🩷“

“Quaint...community coffee spot. Trying the Stirato roll with maple almond butter...They also gave a Potato roll too. Chai is on the sweeter side with just enough hint of spice. Service is warm and space has a good vibe....Current Playlist is a whole vibe.“

“Easily one of my favorite coffee shops in the city, and I have been to most of them! Definitely my favorite in Uptown. Great espresso and specialty drinks, and great smooth cold brew with almost zero acidity. The coffee prices are on the lower end for similar quality coffee in the cities. They do take reusable cups. The homemade poptarts really are amazing and worth coming early for. The vegan options are great, and all of their to-go packaging is compostable. The music is great and audible, and there's plenty of conversation, but nothing is so loud that it can't be silenced by noise-cancelling headphones. There is often quite a line on weekends, but the baristas are friendly, fast, and handle the crowd really well. A lot of people take their coffee to go, so you can usually find a seat even when the line's out the door. They have an all-gender restroom, a place to get water, well-stocked napkins, ample outlets, a little library, etc. Bonus points for the baristas bringing food to folks' tables -- that is never an expectation I have, but I saw it happen consistently even when they were busy. I have nothing critical to say about this place!“

“My favorite drink is the large iced chocolate mousse with an extra shot. My daughter likes to try something new every time. Love their collection of vintage clothes and local artists as well! Love small businesses supporting each other! Head to Metta Coffee when you are DTA!“
