“I was sobbing on the store floor once and a worker walked up to me and, with his soft hand on my shoulder, asked “what’s wrong, why are you crying” and I looked up and said “it is because of how incredible the staff here treats me.” We then started doing UWU faces to each others and became rap buddies ever since.“

“This adorable cafe blends in so well with the neighborhood I almost missed it. So glad I didn’t, though! The space is clean and tidy and there are a few tables to sit and enjoy a beverage. When it got busier, staff brought out additional seating to accommodate. I enjoyed my chai tea latte and the message on the milk foam added a fun little twist. Street parking only, but it wasn’t too hard to find a spot. Would visit again and definitely worth the trip!“

“Rebecca's is our favorite bakery in Minneapolis. The owner and his wife are friendly and welcoming and their cream puffs, fruit tarts, cakes, turn overs and scones are delicious. They're not overly sweet so you don't feel sick after you eat them. We also buy his coffee he imports the organic beans from Ethiopia and roasts them in house. We LOVE Rebecca's and are so glad they are our neighbors!“

“First time going and I received the wrong sandwich. I asked twice what it was but I couldn’t remember everything in the sandwich I actually ordered so it’s on me for not getting the correct one. All in all, food was good and so was the coffee. Fast service, good food, and friendly faces made the experience worth going back again!“

“What an amazing restaurant the food was absolutely delicious. I got the combination Guanaca and it was well balanced and delicious. The fried plantain really added an extra layer of texture and depth to an amazing meal. Our server was very professional and friendly and really enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. Hopefully if we are in the area again this is a must stop. I will be recommending this restaurant to my friends and family.“

“Excellent food, excellent service, excellent staff! I highly recommend trying every single dish they offer, there’s something for everyone and the taste is guaranteed. Their portions are SO generous I almost always have to take something back home with me. :) My favorite items include: dry cappuccino - grilled chicken - chicken salad - falafel platter.“

“Not being from the area, this place sure wowed us! So good!! It's such an adorable local cafe with amazing food and homemade pickles! The vibes are very quiet and the lights are dim, and there are a lot of people vibing on laptops due to the relaxing environment. Highly recommend! Loved the tea and latte we got.Parking: Paid for parking 2$ an hour up to 4 hours“

“My boyfriend and I decided to check out a new coffee shop, and we came across Cuppa Java on Google Maps. When we first entered the building, I immediately loved the vibe, and there are many cozy corners with plenty of outfits to get some work done. The employees were extremely friendly, and I ordered and ate one of the best bagels I've ever had.There is a gender neutral bathroom with ADA accessibility which I highly appreciated.I will definitely be coming back!“

“So many delicious treats to choose from. They also had soups, sandwiches, quiche, coffee and more.The “concerto” chocolate caramel treat was a delicious mouse filled dessert. Highly recommend!The space is kind of small, if you go at a busy time, may be better to get the treats to go. But they are so pretty and tasty!Parking: street parkingParking: Street parking out front“

“I stopped by last Saturday, and I got a scone and a Cranes in the Sky iced coffee, and the combination was AMAZING! The prices were very reasonable for the hand-crafted beverage and pastry! I also loved the ambiance of the coffee shop, the outdoor patio, and the clothing selection! I will definitely come back!“

“My husband and I finally checked out this neighborhood spot for dinner and loved it! We had a the Cajun cheesesteak, mushroom Swiss burger with watermelon mojito lemonade. Tasty baked fries and yummy dipping sauces.We took a piece of cheesecake to go and wow! It was top tier! Obviously some secret family recipe made with love and well-honed craft. 10-10.We're excited to come back and try the bowls and other cheesesteaks.“

“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 food was genuinely amazing, best cafe/Diner hashbrowns I've had in YEARS! and the server Mai was extremely polite and pleasant to interact with. Most meals are close to 15$ which might seem slightly pricey but it's genuinely worthit for the quality of the food. The coffe while simple is delicious as well, if you get some 100% get their reccomended house made French vanilla cream with it, it gives it a dulcé de leché flavor and is a 10/10 on flavor.“

“Had such a great visit here today! We were able to visit with the kitties without a reservation on a Tuesday morning. The kitties seemed happy and healthy and the environment was clean and seemed well cared for. There were so many lovely cats and it was fun to spend time with them. One climbed into my lap to snuggle for a bit wich I loved. The staff was super friendly and one of the kitties literally jumped into the staff members arms for a cuddle during the hour change over wich I thought was adorable. Obviously the staff here care very much for the cats and the cats love them back.Coffee was delicious as well. Will definitely be back ?“

“Hidden neighborhood gem! I only rated it a four because parking is difficult. The food is great and the staff is welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Prices are fair and portions are generous.Deciding what to order was difficult. So many great choices.My boyfriend chose the biscuits and gravy (his usual for breakfast) and said it was the best he’s had. The sausage had a little bite (spicy) but it was perfect.I opted for blueberry pancakes, which were delicious! The three pancakes were bigger than the dinner plate—I had leftovers!We will definitely return.“

“The atmosphere feels like home. Comfortable, light music in the background, a true community space.Conveniently located on the corner if University/Dale.The Marley is perfect for warming the vocal chords before a show. A favorite is the Electrical Lady; sure to get you through any Zoom meeting.“

“If your looking for home style cooking that actually tastes great like grandma's this is the spot! does get a little busy, but they ta because it's great food and a great atmosphere. Love this place! Great little unknown family diner.“

“The food is among the best I've tried from European style cafes and resturants. The service is also really good.If you like made-from-scratch dishes then don't hesitate to give them a try.(Had the Oliver Salad, Borscht, Vareniki and Zama soup)“

“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!“

“Nate is the coolest person ever! Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Try their strawberry flavor drinks it's pretty darn good or their weekly specials. Definitely a gem spot and so glad to come here when I'm in Minneapolis. Super healthy and quick! Love seeing this in the community!“

“This place is truly the only food spot in Minneapolis I crave regularly. I only took 1 star away because 100% of the time I've sat in, they forget my bakery item and then are sold out and can't offer me anything. However, the sesame croissant is to die for so I always take my chances or at least order at the register.“

“Very cute place, I got the St. Paddy's latte 16oz (coconut and dark chocolate) and it was so yummy! A singular woman was up front taking and making orders, and did her job well! The pastries looked huge and delicious but I haven't gotten one yet :)“

“This is such a cute cafe with amazing food! Counter service with self serve water. The staff was very friendly and speedy with my food. I highly recommend the pork. It was soo tender it just fell apart. The seasoning was subtle with just the right amount of saltiness. The rice and beans were bland but were a good carb to soak up the juiciness of the pork. The sweet plantains were perfect in every way. They had beautifully crunchy bottoms from being fried. The arepa con queso was good. There is a sweetness with the butter and maybe in the corn masa itself. Its very dense and rich, i would recommend splitting with a friend if possible.“

“We stopped here for coffee on a quiet morning and had the opportunity to have a really great conversation with the barista, Katie. They also then made us genuinely the best lattes we've both ever had. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good coffee and good vibes.“

“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!“

“Vegetarian options: Non-dairy milk selection available for coffeeParking: 14 parking spots, street parking available, and the parking lot across the street has no current tenants attached to it so parking is currently available there as well“

“It’s a 4 degree Fahrenheit day in Minnesota and there is no better way to spend the morning than visiting a coffee shop. I stumbled upon Up Cafe. What a treat! The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting. Background music adds to the great vibe here. This is one of the easier-to-get-to coffee shops in Minneapolis as it is near the hustle and bustle of the city but situated in a quiet neighborhood not far off the beaten path. They make a crave-worthy oat milk latte that I will come back for!Parking: This coffee shop has ample, no hassle street parking and a small attached lot.“

“The shop was small and cute.Staff was friendly to everyone and greeted you.Bakery is amazing! You can tell it's fresh and we certainly will go back.My wife had the lemon bars and I had the cinnamon swirl. Both are delicious! We also got a loaf of sourdough and are excited to try it.Glad we found this little gem.“

“Middle of the road coffee shop. Attached to art studios. One small seating area is pretty cozy but the rest are a little bland and don't have windows, but they are doing the best they can with the space they are in. Food is made on the spot and is better then you might expect. I go loaded breakfast burrito every time and love it. Staff is hit or miss, but they are never rude.“

“They got me! Didn’t look closely before going and didn’t realize they were a vegetarian place, I was upset at first but decided to just give it a try. And WOW! The food is amazing, no idea what the patty is made of and honestly don’t care, will definitely be back!“

“Haven't been there in a while but I'm so glad to see they are still there. Great coffee, service(quick and efficient) and the atmosphere is THE best I've ever experienced in a coffee house. The staff is friendly and so are the customers. Outside seating is great. I love that there are spaces, on the street, reserved for motorcycles. Prices, for a coffee house of this caliber, are inexpensive. I used to live in the neighborhood and Bob's became my go to. Thank you.“

“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!“

“I order for work from them and it is always delicious and timely. I love that we can get last minute catering that is both quality and priced modestly.The staff is so friendly and they communicate well.I would recommend them 100% to anyone!“

“I didn't order any food, but I am searching for a sufficient adjective to describe the coffee. "Hypersonic" entails the high energy beverage that I so thoroughly enjoyed. I am still vibrating these many years later. Admission should be charged for admittance to the ubiquitously graffiti decorated rest room. Unfortunately the web site states hours of operation are now from 8:00 AM to Midnight. I found the atmosphere to be an entrancing enigma at 3:00 AM, but obviously the 24 hour operation was another victim of capitalism. Where can I get some of that coffee for home brew?“

“Wonderful coffee bar in a beautiful, St.Paul neighborhood. Coffee was great and so was the service and snacks. Perfect place to sit and reminisce with friends, work on your laptop, or just sit by the window and watch the world go by with a warm or cold coffee drink. 5-Stars out of 5“

“Sitting next to the iconic 1908 mansion (33 rooms) of the Turnblad family (Swan Turnblad managed Svenska Amerikanska Postern, which had the largest Swedish newspaper paid circulation) is the Nelson Center which includes Fika Cafe offering many Nordic delights. Plenty of free parking. Keep in mind Park Ave was the first paved street in Minneapolis & Turnblad owned the 1st electric car in Minnesota.“

“It's decent, and they have a pour over. I don't know that this is the best roaster in the city. The pour overs were all on the weak side, and the beans I bought ended up being a little rough. I like the place and the people there were nice. I don't know that they have their roasting dialed in, however.“

“This place has the makings of a great coffee shop that has the atmosphere to bring in travelers and locals alike. The only thing missing from this place is OUTLETS. There are a minuscule amount with only a few spots allowing a charging port. Being that coffee shops have historically been correlated with working on personal computers, it has become quite expected that there is enough places to charge said devices.“

“I had the pleasure of eating at this establishment for the first time by pure accident with a friend of mine, and let me tell you how impressed I was. First of all the service was next level, my server gave me a brief rundown of the favs on the menu. The selections were awesome, the food was banging, came out hot, tasty and the plate presentation was next level! The ambiance at this cafe is so cool, I love the look, I love the location and I will be back with more friends and family. As a comedian that travels all over the country and eats at all types of restaurants, I really appreciate, good service, good food and a safe space to enjoy it. This place checks all the boxes. I ate my food so fast, I forgot to take a photo ‍ next time.“

“I absolutely love this coffee shop! The coffee is always top-notch, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. It’s the perfect spot to unwind or catch up with friends.”Parking: Free parking as wellKid-friendliness: My kids love Muhim's cafe“

“The Somali tea (kind of like sweet spiced chai) here is so good and affordable and their smoothies and sambusas are delicious. If they have any of the house made juices when you go in, you definitely don't want to miss out on them (especially the watermelon). Usually pretty quick service but sometimes it takes a while for someone to come to the counter when you first get in. TVs are loud and it's not too comfortable in there so I usually take it to go but overall great place.“

“Cute, most of the plants are real.Good coffee/cookies, would eat again.Cold. As in the longer I sat there the more stiff I became. Granted I was by a window.Asked the barista what the wifi password was and she responded by aggressively pointing in a corner and [sighing] obnoxiously. Thank you for your incredible hospitality mam.“

“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!“

“I can't believe I never heard of this breakfast place! Super cute and tucked into the back of a strip mall. Easy to miss. Great breakfast foods and styles of yesteryear, the other side looks like a bar with a bunch of townies, we'll have to check that out sometime!“

“Although it’s a little tucked away in deluxe plaza, Gray Fox a nice café with good atmosphere for reading or working. I got a black coffee with a cake donut (total $6.65; $3.00 12oz coffee + $2.65 cake donut + $1.00 tax) and both were very good! The coffee was actually better and cheaper than most cafés in Minneapolis. It does have a very open environment, but I think it adds a unique atmosphere. Definitely would recommend for a quick stop before starting your day!“

“Stopped by their for lunch today. The special was a Mediterranean bowl with a side and drink.You can pick the toppings and choice of rice, veggies, beans chicken or beef. Different sauce options are available too. The bowl was tasty. I went with the beef and tomato rice with all the toppings, tzatziki and spicy sauce. Instead of chips, I chose fresh fruit of which there were three different choices. The place is small for seating inside but the building has a common area with tables. The staff is friendly and courteous. At just under $12, this was a very filling, tasty meal and quick.“

“Best chapati in the world is found in this little coffee shop. Not to mention the chicken soup, which is so hearty that it will open up your nasal passages. Plus I like the fact that they have now renovated the place, which was much needed, although the building is old as hell.“

“Very nice experience. Both servers were super friendly . My order was great and timely. Fun little coffee shop in Minneapolis. Looks like there’s a semi-private meeting room and it might be a good place to work remotely. Saw this coffee shop passing by and knew I wanted to stop at some point. Food was tasty“

“Ginkgo Coffee House in Saint Paul is my favorite local gem. The laid-back atmosphere, friendly vibes, and aromatic coffee make it the perfect spot to unwind or catch up with friends. Their commitment to quality shines through in every sip. A must-visit for any coffee lover in the area.Parking: It depends at what time you visit this place.“
