15 Best Cafes near Circle Pines

“This place has it all, amazing food (give the quiche a try, you won’t be disappointed) the owner was very funny and easy to talk to and the other patrons were delightful to talk to as well. I highly recommend this place and will continue coming back!“

“Great food but I think $4.79 for 3 pieces of bacon. Great place to eat just don't order the side dishes...my bad for not reading the menu prices, but I didn't think I need to...I sadly assumed things would be somewhat reasonable...NOT!“

“The last two words "Coffee gallery" perfectly describes the coffee shop! It's cool seeing the different kinds of art work, also two huge plusses are there's plenty of tables and there's a parking lot!! For the amount of people that were there it wasn't super loud either! Will for sure be coming back again!“

“I stopped in here on a whim during an errand and ordered the matcha latte with added boba I ordered it dairy free so can only assume the whipped cream was milk-less. It was good and I would definitely stop here again! The space was very quiet when I visited and very cute“

“This is a hidden gem! I went into Rewind next door and was craving my afternoon chai afterwards. I'm still on a Starbucks boycott so I've been trying to go to local coffee shops and I saw The Coffee Shop next door! I ordered the Killer Chai (which is amazing) and the chocolate chip banana bread (also incredible!). The staff was super friendly and I felt very welcomed and safe, I will definitely be back!“

“Best breakfast in Minnesota! We love coming here for a delicious, hardy meal after church. It's also a preferred breakfast destination when we have family or friends in town. The menu has tons of options. Basically, eggs and omelets any way you can imagine plus a super-sized serving of hashbrowns or pancakes with most entrees. They also have incredible French toast and 4 variations of eggs Benedict. Don't forget a side a crispy bacon. YUM. If you want something that's not on the menu, if they have it in stock, they're typically happy to accommodate requests. (Like banana French toast... one of my favorites!)They include bread or toast with almost every menu item. I'm a low-carb eater, so I typically avoid bread. However, Keys has a homemade berry jam that's INCREDIBLE. The bread simply becomes a vehicle for jam consumption. Fortunately, they have sourdough and gluten-free bread options, so I don't feel as guilty for eating the bread.They have fresh baked desserts, cakes, cookies, and more that are easy take-home or pick-up treats for special events.For seating, there's walk up [cushioned] barstools [with TV view], booths, tables with wooden chairs, a hybrid booth/wooden chair option on the back wall, and seasonal outdoor seating. I have back issues, so we opt for the cushioned booths or barstools. The variety of seating makes it easy for solo or group dining. Tables can optionally be joined together for larger groups. The very back section is partially divided by a decorative wall with a fireplace, which is a great backdrop for photos and a pleasant ambiance on chilly days.There's a large shared lot to accommodate parking. For our party of 4, if there are some parking spots clearly visible, table wait time is usually around 10 minutes. If the lot is super full with only a few spots left, table wait time is 15-30 minutes depending on party size. We like visiting the next-door pet shop, Chuck n' Don's, while we wait. (Key's has nice bathrooms to easily wash up before meal time.)Service here is always friendly, and being a family-owned and run business, it's nice to see familiar faces and smiles over the years.We highly recommend Key's to everyone!“

“Coffee tastes so much better when your baristas smile and laugh with you in the morning. I get that exact experience everytime i visit! Love the crew hereKid-friendliness: So many fun kids drinks!Wheelchair accessibility: They have a walk up window and a spot for wheel chairs to access the window. A tun of seating next to the building with plenty of shade!Dietary restrictions: If your lactose intolerant or allergic to anything. This team takes pride in taking care of there customers everyday!“

“Tasty and delicious place! A variety of items to choose from. When I'm feeling hungry I'll opt for one of the seasonal breakfast items. Otherwise I'll grab a pastry or two to share. Be sure to arrive early for the best selection of pastry items.The staff is also very friendly and the place is clean and a perfect spot to meet a friend.I will also mention that this is one of the best places to grab a cake for a celebration as well“

“Generally I prefer to go to a coffee shop to sit and relax inside. I'm not big on drive throughs. But since I was driving by, I figured I'd check this place out. Was nice experience. Just want to make sure I get scooted up, not scoot out. ?“

“I'm from NWI, here visiting the MOA,& this was my first time having Caribou. I now see why there's one on every other corner in Minnesota! I had the Turtle Mocha, and this was by far the best coffee drink I've ever had! I wish we had a location in NWI, because this would be my daily addiction! Maybe it's a good thing we don't ? I got mine to go, as we were headed back home, but the ambiance of the restaurant makes you want to sit down and enjoy your coffee there. I have become a fan of this, and anytime I see a Caribou shop from now on, I'll stop in to get my next fix!☕️☕️☕️“

“I love that this new little spot was built here!!! We frequent the cabin weekly, if not daily. The drawback is that they are limited on coffee beans for purchase and run out of items from time to time. Everyone is always super friendly and speedy, and they get the drinks right every time. I really have no idea why people stay in a long line at starbucks up the road - this is the place to go to!!“

“The Swedish Sampler breakfast was delicious with lots of fresh fruit. There is no table service, but the employees all seemed cheerful. The seating is tight, which is challenging for conversations, but patrons seemed to manage it. I bought some pastries to go which were pretty tasty.“

“I work here to I may be biased but this caribou has great customer service with the goal of making customers happy & not just making money off of selling food & drinks. All drinks are made in store & sandwiches are very tasty. More busy in the morning but if you come in the afternoon it's usually not busy. Definitely would recommend stopping here for a drink every once in a while. Great selection of drinks whether you want a caffeinated drink, a drink with coffee, a cold or hot drink, a fruity drink, a milkshake drink, they have it all.“

“I placed a mobile order in the Target parking lot less than 2 minutes away and left to pick it up immediately after placing my order. I expected to have to wait a minute or two since I got there so quickly, but when I got there they already had my drink made and ready to go. I was blown away. My drink tasted fantastic as aways. 5/5, I would most definitely visit this location again!“

“Swung by today with my pup and he was treated to a pup cup and got a 'hi pup' from the drive thru lady. Caribou rarely disappoints and this location is no exception. It's a handy location across from the booming LOVES which makes it a perfect spot to swing by after dealing with the stress of buying gas. They are friendly and quick here and the building itself is super cute. Great place to go on warm days with the walk up window.Kid-friendliness: They have a whole kids menu unlike other coffee places.“
