Cafes near Falcon Heights

“This is my first stop every year at the State Fair. The Black Currant Tea is the best! Next to the Scones! This year they offer a SconeNut which is a cross between a scone and a donut!

BUT Wait! There's More! The best thing was the service that I received from Eden and CJ! These two youngsters knocked it out of the park. To see people wanting to work long hours and deliver with true smiles and authenticity made my first stop extra special! THANKS, kids, for what you do. "I'll Be Back". (Say it like Arnold) 8-)“

“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!“

“SO GOOD!!! the first time i ordered, i was HOOKED. the soup and sandwiches are DELICIOUS. and i cant seem to skip the banana pudding EVER. Im officially addicted to Sammy's.“

“Amazing food in a comfortable setting with great service.“

“It was okay…. Kinda disappointed with the lack of friendliness from staff. I came in just to get a coffee with my 2 year old. We didn’t attempt to see the cats or anything- I knew she was too little. Just looked in the windows while we waited. One employee completely ignored us. The one behind the counter did the bare minimum…. My coffee took a LONG time and we were the only ones in the store. We left right away. Again I did NOT let my toddler run rampant. She was very well behaved. Coffee wasn’t very hot. I’d still recommend if you were going for the cats. But unfortunately not for much else“

“I got the triple berry crepe with dark chocolate sauce and it was delish!! The star of the plate was the unassuming whipped cream. I’ve never had whipped cream like it before and it’s honestly the best I’ve ever tasted so don’t skimp on it. I also tried one of the croffels and was blown away by the many layers familiar to croissants made crispy by being cooked in a waffle iron. I can’t say enough about the flavors and textures experienced at Paris Crepes & Boba Tea. The cherry on the top is the speedy and friendly service. This place is a must try if you enjoy crepes and croissants. 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Got the savory crepe and sweet crepe and they were so so good. Also had the Strawberry mango smoothie yummm!!“

“So amazing! Everything was delicious!!! Five stars!“

“Really good menu, lovely staff. An excellent place to enjoy coffee and a book there is a fire pit as well“

“Wonderful combo of traditional fare and things you've probably never heard of. Friendly people and beautiful, tasty food.“

“This place has been on my list and I am happy that I have finally came. Overall, it was a good experience for me. There were so many good pastries, such as croissants, cream donuts, cakes, and breads. I was surprised that they even have egg tarts! It was very crispy and flaky. I also got the twisted donuts, kimchi croquette, and sweet frank roll. They are all good. I really liked the kimchi croquette. I would definitely come back to try out the other pastries.“

“Jimmy the Server made our entire experience! We would come back to just visit Jimmy. Engaging, very polite, & accommodating to all our extra requests. FYI, highly recommend the hash browns & cranberry mimosa!! #teamjimmy“

“What a cozy, cute place! It is cheery and full of sunlight.

I have never had a souffle pancake, but the texture is really nice! Sort of fluffy/chewy at the same time. The blueberries and lemon were a delicious combination.

What really stood out was the very kind staff. They waved goodbye when I left and were so wonderful and welcoming.“

“Wonderful spot close to Mississippi Market in St. Paul. There is a beautiful small park (when weather permits) to sit outside. The building itself is old and very Swedish even though the history of Swede Hollow is long-past, lots of "hygge" inside (yes I know it's Danish but they did own the country, kinda). A few tables downstairs, one cozy one on the mezzanine, 6-7 upstairs and a neat "conference room" with a very comfy cozy reading armchair. Coffee really good (Americano, Cubano), great selection, had a studenty-feel, but we are close to MSU. The food looked very good. One of my new favourite "Third Places"“

“I’m having their quinoa shrimp salad which is delicious! I love their chili, soups & desserts! Such amazing food!“

“We went to the cities to see Evanescence on the 20th of September and had layover time for the concert to start so my husband and I walked from the venue to Little Brazil. Unfortunately, we got absolutely drenched walking back to the show. Not only that, but we forgot our precious signed posters from the band at our table . The staff saved our posters and kept them safe until we made it back to get them the next day which we truly appreciated. They would have been destroyed by the weather otherwise. We were SO enamored with this gem of a place, it was WORTH the soaked clothes, chattering teeth and watching the rest of the concert soaked through! There is definitely something for everyone whether it be coffee, dessert, sandwiches. They also have a market of imported goods to try like chocolate, candies, snacks etc. Now whenever we are near the cities, it's going to be a must stop! 💖“

“The best coffee and lovely space!“

“Friendly staff. Fast service. Food was very good. I recently moved to Saint Paul and will definitely return to this establishment. 😁“

“Great shakes & the staff is so kind!!! 10/10 recommend“

“First time, even though we drive by on the daily. New to the area as well. Amazing customer service and drinks were great as well! Found out they serve sandwiches as well. Will definitely be back!!!“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Great people. Hilltop is a gem of a little restaurant in our SSP/IGH community and Chef Negusse is wonderful!“

“Great coffee, really clean place and super friendly people. We will be back!“

“Café Harmony is such a gem! The coffee is excellent—smooth, rich, and consistently well-prepared. The ambiance is just as special: cozy, inviting, and perfect whether you’re catching up with friends, reading a book, or getting some work done.“

“great coffee, great service, the club sandwich is amazing.... will come back often...“

“The coffee and treats are excellent, great staff, and a lovely space in the atrium to sit for a few.“

“Fast friendly service. Food was good and hot. Will come again when I visit next time!“

“To go window! Great for dog walkers!“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥 Let me just say those eggrolls 👩🏾‍🍳💋!!!! Brisket was amazingly tender, nice smoked flavor, juicy! And that pepper dip, nice & spicy!!! Prices are decent & portions are great“

“Chai latte with oat milk and a half pump of marshmallow syrup is legit one of the best things I've ever had at a coffee shop!“

“They’re the best! Love that Oat milk is the default (though they have regular dairy and plenty of others too!)“

“Good coffee shop; had the chai latte and a bread snack and it was nice and tasty. The space is seriously impressive though, as they have lots of space with ample seating, chandeliers, and a small replica of the Statue of Liberty. Will be coming back“

“This is such a nice little place. The Lex is the best espresso drink I’ve ever had. Wish I lived closer!“

“lost fox is my go-to for coffee on overnights, great breakfast, excellent servers. 10/10“

“This is a very quaint establishment. The atmosphere is nice; the staff is GREAT -Emphasis added! I couldn’t go much beyond this character point so… KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!“

“Staff is friendly. I love the atmosphere. The bubble tea there tastes so good. <3“

“excellent brownies, with frosting and sprinkles. highly recommend. a pan was gifted to me and I'd buy them again!“

“Love inside comfy tables and booths- great waitresses Old time Like a diner Restrooms need a lot of work“

“Ordered a full sheet of Ho ho cake at the Roseville location. From the online order to the pick up... absolute perfection. Everyone was so friendly and if they didn't know they found out the answer. I didn't have to worry if the cake was going to be exactly what I was hoping for. AND the taste... so many compliments. Definitely will be back for more cakes from here. Worth the hour and a half drive from home for it!!“

“Great place with a chill vibe. Food was awesome, I got BLT and my fiance got salmon bagel. Coffee had a little weird aftertaste so did my fiance said but I didn't mind it. The chairs and tables need some cleaning. We are definitely coming back.“

“Glad I finally stopped by this lovely, airy café for lunch! It feels like a museum café but far more relaxed and reasonably priced. I loved my vegetable tacos, made with grilled wild mushrooms, zucchini, and onion, and served with a really good homemade salsa. The coffee was also very good and slightly smoky (chicory?) The crafts gift store and art gallery in the building are a welcome plus! I want to bring guests from out of town here.“

“Welcoming & a Vibe. This is a real gem, a diamond in the rough. There is no place quite like Cafetto. It is punk, it is cozy, it is filled with music but it’s peaceful at the same time. The staff are always friendly, knowledgeable, and apt at making the perfect cup of joe or chai of choice. If you need a place to vibe, work, or have some fun (especially with the plethora of pinball machines in the basement), this is the place to be. I just wish there was a location in St. Cloud, but to me this place alone is worth the drive!“

“Has some of the best coffee I’ve had in MPLS and a really awesome offering of pastries. I highly recommend the cinnamon maple roll and the lattes are always terrific. I thought the breakfast sandwiches were pretty tasty but just too small for the price so I wouldn’t get them again. Overall, I consistently go here for the pastries bc they’re great.“

“Great coffee and atmosphere.“

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

“Wow! We just had breakfast at the Uptowner; this place is our new favorite for many reasons! Everything we ordered: pancakes, omelets, eggs benne and hash browns were some of the best we’ve ever had served to us. Our server was also so genuinely kind and attentive! We hope to make it back soon… I have my eye on that Ruben.“

“Best vegetarian breakfast joint in the State. It's more like an institution a landmark.
Seward Cafe is a staple it leaves a recurrent memory in your pallet as well in your soul.
Community neighborhood oriented and respected.
The absolute best“

“Good coffee, best scone I've ever had, friendly service, cool/artsy interior and a peaceful patio. I wish I lived closer - i would be here all of the time.“

“Embetito Dnish at Snelling Café

I keep coming back for this.

They call it Embetito Dnish—potato sandwich. Nothing fancy. Just warm sliced potatoes, fresh tomato, romaine, green senstro peppers, olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt, all wrapped in toasted bread.

What makes it hit? The contrast.

The warmth of the potatoes and bread. The cool bite from the romaine and tomato. The salty edge mixed with olive oil. A slight heat from the green pepper. And that twist of lemon—it wakes everything up.

Then there’s the tea. Hot, simple, spiced with Aforki’s touch. You feel it in your chest.

No menu can explain this. You just know when it’s right.“

“Great service and the food is a foodie’s delight!“
