18 Best Cafes near Excelsior

“I have been going to Cafe 12:2 for over five years at this point, and the quality never disappoints! They have a wide variety of hot, cold, and blended drinks such as mochas, lattes, frappuccinos, drip coffee, etc. There are bottled soda pop and water as well, and apart from beverages they also sell yogurt, cheese and beef sticks, candies and pastries. All of the products are reasonably priced; in the five years I've been at 12:2, there has only been a 25 cent raise in price primarily because of a switch to a higher quality coffee brand. All the staff are friendly and understanding, the layout of the Cafe is warm and aesthetically pleasing, and of course all the drinks look and taste amazing!

Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly snacks such as fruit snacks, cheese sticks, and goldfish are sold. Hot chocolate can be made less hot for the little ones.

Parking: All parking is free and a short walk from the Cafe.

Wheelchair accessibility: Along with stairs, there is an elevator guests may use.

Dietary restrictions: There are several types of milk products available, including skim milk, soy milk, coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk, and half and half.“

“I was help this morning by a lovely lady named Jill. She was so energetic and it was nice to see a smiling face earlier than 8 AM. She helped me fiddle with my gift card and was patient with me and appreciate the excellent service. And the drink was delicious as always too. Thank you, Jill!“

“My husband and I are in Deephaven for two weeks watching our grands and our son told us we needed to go out to breakfast at Beanhaven. He said “it’s like a little hometown cafe” so today after getting the grands off to school we did. Wow, such a cute place, delicious food and coffee and a delightful server. I had the sausage mushroom quiche with Jim’s potatoes, my husband had eggs, bacon, Jim’s potatoes and toast. Omg every thing was amazing. We will definitely be back when we’re here from Iowa 😋😋😋“

“Excellent staff who know their products and can recommend the right pick me up for you. Really enjoy their Loaded Teas. Definitely need to stop in.“

“Beyond impressed with the phenomenal customer service at CTC! The staff is so kind & incredibly helpful. I love trying their sandwiches, wraps and of course coffee too. Everything has been so great.“

“Caribou d/c their apple cider which is my partner's favorite since he can't have caffeine. It's disappointing to say the least. The atmosphere wasn't great because of people thinking they need t he volume in their vehicle so loud it hurts others' ear drums. The people working at our Caribou are fantastic!!“

“Delicious pastries, great service and atmosphere.“

“Good food, great location“

“Great place and great employees!“

“I don’t really go here often but every now and then I’ll find a gift card from 2018 in my drawer and then I can justify spending $7 for 250mg caffeine. However whenever I do go the team working is always speedy and extremely friendly. Whenever I pull out 4 gift cards with $0.30-$4 on them the cashiers always look at me like I’m crazy. I don’t know how much is on them. They’ve been in a drawer for 7 years every time I use one it’s like seeing if I won the lottery or if it’s just an empty one I forgot to throw away. Anyways…staff here is great. Coffee is expensive but everything is expensive it’s 2025. They also need to start getting whole milk. 5 stars.“

“I've visited here a few times now since it is very convenient to my fulltime job and the Life Cafe near my home has shortened their hours so I can't get there. Very friendly and helpful employees and good selection of food and supplement products.“

“We have been coming here for years. This is a great local coffee shop and in the summer the outdoor patio and terrace area can't be beat, like no other coffee shop. The food menu is also executed well with a good variety of breakfast sandwiches, salads, and they have a lot of goods breads and baked items as well. Well worth a visit. This place can get really busy and packed during peak times especially on weekends and the parking lot isn't big so plan ahead a bit.“

“We took my sons family to the Creekside Cafe for a Fathers Day Brunch. The food offerings were varied and were of appropriate value for the amounts paid. All offerings were well presented and we Most importantly were delicious. Our group had three children under 5 and the servers were attentive and made us feel we were at grandmas house. Lastly, the environment was very comfortable with a low noise level. Overall, this was a nice place for that weekend brunch whether you are a couple or a large family group.“
