34 Best Cafes near Inver Grove Heights

“Huge shoutout to Jerry at Caribou (4682 S Robert Trail in Inver Grove Heights, MN)! Their speaker isn’t working, so he is going the extra mile by standing out in the rain taking orders! AND…they recently started using a new system and he is doing great learning how to use it! We love you, Jerry! #staremployee“

“Such a treat! My kiddo had a day off of school, so we went as a special lunch. It was busy, but the owner Macy and her staff did an excellent job letting everyone know what to expect in terms of wait time for tables and food. And it was so worth the short wait!!! The Bananas Foster was decadent without being too sweet. The eggs Benedict was a super fun twist on a classic dish. We would order both again and plan to be back to try others!“

“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“

“This place has always been a classy spot and I remember it from my childhood days, the service, the atmosphere and everything else is some of the best that the twin cities has to offer.“

“Best coffee in the twin cities!“

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

“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"“

“Key's doesn't just have incredible food but they make fantastic cakes. Their chocolate house cake it to die for. They did an incredible job matching the invitation and theme for my sister-in-law's baby shower cake! The spinach salad with warm bacon dressing it one of my favorites.“

“Loved this place! If you’re gluten free - they will take good care of you! My kid has a gluten allergy and they were so careful to accommodate and she was enamored with the food. Service was fantastic also! Great experience! Will make this a regular stop when in the Twin Cities! ❤️“

“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.“

“I looooooove the coffee at Nina's. It was. Very busy when I was there which is a good sign! Even though there were a lot of people, my coffee came quickly, and it's in a nice area to walk around and smile at the doggos in the area while sipping your coffee“

“Okay, I workout less than a mile away and wanted something not heavy but filling. Found this place and I'm glad I did!! The servicers feel like friends you've never met. Both ladies took their time to explain the menu and explain what the shakes taste like. I left knowing I'd be back even if I didn't like my selection because of the warm welcome. Turns out the shake was very big and filled me up for the rest of the day! If you're wanting to add more protein easy give this place a try!

That is the only day they are closed. Buy a scrunchie if you can!! Sweet mama and daughter sewn.“

“1.) Very friendly staff and good food & drinks.2.) DRIVE THRUS:. Why can’t Caribou workers except credit cards handed to them (like in their stores) instead of using the ANNOYING credit card machine on a long pole? Other fast food restaurants don’t use them. I mention this to the Caribou cashiers and they said other customers also don’t like using them.“

“Wow What GREAT Customer Service !! Tom made My Morning goin Shopping For Thanksgiving so stressed not so good Mood !! Let Me Say Mike turned that around , He had Me laughing ? ? what a guy !!! These People belong in Customer Service THANKYOU TOM AND “

“Just moved to the neighborhood and this place is incredible. The folks are super friendly and everything has been delicious. The first time we went, we sat in the dining room and they have a back room with a table of billardettes. It was super cool to see folks playing and learn how it works. My partner is Eritrean and the Awaze Tibbs and a veggie platter were a smash hit. Since then, we've had cheese steaks and espresso drinks. Both were delicious. They roast their own coffee beans and even sold us some. We are also looking forward to the upcoming Eritrean community events they have advertised. Only critique is the bathroom could use some love. It doubles as a storage closet/shower full of cleaning supplies.“

“No problem finding a table at 9:00 a.m. Waitress was prompt bringing us good and taking our orders. Bacon was particularly delicious. I would recommend if you looking for a new breakfast location.“

“Always a fabulous meal - thank you!!“

“One of the best coffee shops in town. They serve only the highest quality coffee and they are experts at their craft. Stopped in today for a macchiato and it was spot on perfect and reasonably priced. And a bonus: they partner with Rustica for sundry bakery items. That gingersnap won’t last long. Snap.“

“Less of a coffee shop and more of a hangout place for Christians they only take donations and you don't have to pay anything for what you order, it takes a bit to get your drink but it's very good. I'm not religious personally but I find it very relaxing to just come in and study, work it just mess around on my phone. Don't come here thinking it's just a coffee shop, all the workers at least when I've been here have been very kind.“
