50 Best Cafes near Hopkins

“What an amazing staple to the Hopkins community. Mocha and pumpkin butter coffee are a must try. This place support local artists and business as well. prices are more better than most corporations so choose to shop small and support this local Hopkins jem.“

“Munkabeans is my go to morning place for meeting my neighbors on important issues!“

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

“This place is such a cozy little gem! My new favorite spot! The vibe is calm and welcoming, with plenty of light and comfy seating. Great for studying, catching up with a friend, or just enjoying some solo chill time.

I ordered the ube latte, and I’m obsessed! It’s smooth, creamy, and the ube flavor is just the right amount, not too sweet like any other American drink (lol), but still super flavorful. Definitely a drink I’ll be coming back for! 💜 but definitely will try others!

Also tried their croissant and one of their coffee-flavored breads (I forgot the exact name, but it was sooo good). The croissant was buttery and flaky, just how it should be. And the coffee bread had a soft texture with a subtle sweet coffee flavor, perfect pairing with a warm drink!

Can’t wait to go back and try more drinks and pastries. This place is such a vibe!“

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

“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.“

“The meals are Chef Hand Crafted delights. Unique, Distinctive, Beautiful in Execution. Do Yourself a Favor and Enjoy the Alternative.“

“The London Fig was excellent. Perfect for a snowy cold day.“

“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!“

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

“10/10 ⭐️ Coffee and food is fabulous. The cafe has beautiful art inside of it, and the customer service was phenomenal!“

“I go to the Bloomington location. Great food and nice staff.“

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

“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!“

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

“I've always loved caribou, I've been coming here for years. Recently stopped just because it was more convenient to go somewhere else cause my mom drank someone else's coffee and now that we don't I'm back at caribou and I'm loving it and it's really convenient cause it's right next to my job so it's like stop there go right to work it's amazing they're always so friendly and so nice always willing to have a little conversation very sweet staff at this location“

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

“Ate dinner here on recommendation of a friend. Great food, served fresh, hot and fast. Had the spaghetti and garlic toast special. Was delicious. Huge serving also. Hubby had the grilled ham and cheese and subbed onion rings for the chips. Another winner. Had strawberry rhubarb pie for dessert- was really good and hit the spot. Laura was our waitress, attentive and friendly. Will be back!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The coffees without the artificial sweetener are good. Staff is normally super quick but a few times like today, they're more interested in talking about tik Tok and of the 3-4 people working, only one appeared to actually be working on orders.“

“Really liked this coffeeshop. The staff are super friendly and the place is clean. I got the almond milk vanilla latte and the blackberry ricotta streusel pain suisse. They were SO delicious! ?
I had a question about the ingredients and one of the baristas went above and beyond to get a hold of the baker to make sure my question is answered.“

“Wonderful environment, delightful atmosphere, Delicious food and extremely friendly employees is what greeted me. Definitely will return.“

“Great Breakfast, awesome service, & beautiful decor.“

“Visiting friends wanted to take me to dinner. I chose Patrick's because they lived in Europe for many years and are very fond of French cuisine. Our server, Miriam, was attentive and very pleasant. The food was excellent (as I knew it would be). My friends said it was authentic and reminded them of meals they had in France and Switzerland. The bottle of wine we shared was a lovely Cabernet Franc and went well with all our meals, ranging from the Salade Nicoise to the Shrimp Scampi to the Boeuf Bourguignon. As we were finishing our meal, one of my friends mentioned that we were celebrating my birthday, and Miriam gifted us one of the desserts we had ordered. We had a wonderful evening and my friends made me promise that we would return to Patrick's the next time they come to town! Thank you for a very memorable evening.“

“The food & incredible service was why I chose to celebrate my birthday at Abi’s with my family! Everything was absolutely delicious & our server really made our experience wonderful 🧡“

“They have an interesting setup with Brasa next door. More clear signs for the system would be great because we weren’t sure if the seating was combined or how it worked.

I tried the Up South egg sandwich, which was really good. I don’t normally like pimento cheese, but the flavors were amazing together. The lavender latte sadly didn’t have any flavor and I wouldn’t get coffee there again. The annoyed vibes from the staff that day were a little off putting and they forgot half our order for the group.“

“Bambu is my favorite desert place . I was so happy that I found Bambu in Minneapolis. It’s a little far away from my home but I don’t mind to drive . I love all desert and drinks they have. I can eat everyday if I could 😇😂. Also, Sandwiches 🥪 are yummy. All employees are pretty nice and friendly. The only thing I don’t like this place is parking is suck ( I know it’s only in Minneapolis) .“

“The service is always great, food is delicious and fast!“

“very spacious and quick service“

“Good food, great location“

“The most consistent and delicious restaurant and bakery we’ve ever been to. So sad!!! 😞“

“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.“

“Popped in after The Foo Fighters show last night. Staff was phenomenal handling that higher-than-normal Sunday night volume. Was a great place to sit for a bit and have many beers and some great conversation with strangers, as well as with the very nice and efficient bar staff. Thanks for having me.“

“Very good food, service, and atmosphere all around had a great 7 am breakfast on a Saturday. Parking was easy at the nearby ramp with a half block walk. The homemade caramel pecan roll (not pictured) was super good!! Great coffee :) Ribeye (6 oz) Benedict was perfect - large portion.“

“Amazing coffee and very cool vibe!“

“Our company had a last minute breakfast this morning we needed catered, and found out 2days before (Wednesday night) the caterer we usually use couldn’t accommodate us. I called Ryan’s Cafe as soon as they opened Thursday morning and Ryan answered. I asked if there was any possible way he could cater breakfast for 57 the next morning by 7 am. He was in the middle of preparing for another event he was catering that day, but was gracious enough to ask questions, offer options and take down my information. He even made suggestions on which items to cut back on so I wasn’t overspending. He had the quote back to me in less than 30 minutes.Anthony, one of Ryan’s employees, arrived the next morning at 6:50 am with the food and had it all ready to serve by 7 am! The presentation was fantastic and the food even better! We had a variety of breakfast burritos and sandwiches (sausage, bacon, ham and a vegetarian option), hash browns, fresh fruit, pastries and all the condiments including butter, cream cheese, hot sauce, etc. Anthony was very helpful and gracious too!Everyone raved about how delicious and fresh the food was, and the generous quantities! And the bonus…the price was very competitive!I can’t say enough good things about Ryan, Anthony and Ryan’s Cafe! We’ll definitely have them cater for us at future events and look forward to the next one! Thank you Ryan, Anthony and Ryan’s Cafe for making our event such a success!“

“Happen to come across this adorable little coffee house by chance. I had the iced chai and it was amazing. The service was top-notch. Our barista was so friendly and personable. And then to the top it off, we met the owner, Dale and he was so welcoming and interesting to talk to! He told us all about the history of his place. It is so unique and charming. Definitely will be coming back to this little gem!“

“I tried the Normatec many times , this time Damaris was able to explained all the facts, so glad I came this time she is phenomenal ♥️“

“affordable. not enough vegetarian/vegan options - would anyone even notice if you made the lasagna or shepherds pie with veggie crumbles?“

“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.“

“Great place and great employees!“

“Tasty home style food , cooks are genuinely sincere n food is great but I won't lie it feels like your completely alone surrounded by people, people don't seem to acknowledge one another in that building , I think Jesus needs to be welcomed in there , ? food is good, I said thank you to the cook and he acted like no one ever spoke to him before“

“This is an update from my last review several years ago. Visited for an early lunch and was greeted by Betty, our server. As I often to when at a restaurant, I asked her to order for me. I told her two things usually happen - I get what the cook suggests when asked, or I get what the server usually orders for themselves. Never do I get anything not on the menu. This time, she served me a plain mushroom/cheese/bacon omelet with a side of hashbrowns. Plain, but incredibly delicious. (Bacon makes dirt taste good!) It was excellent. My only complaint is the lack of a ketchup bottle on the table, and my Diet Coke refills were a little slow. I didn't ask what the surprise desert was, but it was almost better then the bacon - 5 or 6 layers of moist cake with a ton of frosting and coconut. Thanks Betty - you were a great server and we had a great time. See pic for the half eaten meal. My partner had the fried chicken - light, crispy and perfectly cooked.“
