50 Best Coffee Shops near Little Canada

“Loud music and strong perfume scent, might be headache inducing for some people, so if this applies to you, might be better to get a takeout. Skip the pistachio milk bright green cake piece and go straight for honeycomb cheese pastry with honey on top, it is so good! Aden tea is good, strong and smooth but no cardamom flavour. They offer table games which is nice and makes this spot very welcoming to sit and play with friends while enjoying a hot beverage but unfortunately they don’t have enough pawns and dice for multiple tables to play same game which defeats the purpose.“

“I love this caribou location. They're always so friendly and do such a great job. I'll often call ahead to order a coffee canteen and it's always ready by the time I arrive. They are so accommodating and make sure I have everything I need. The space is also very nice to meet people or just relax for a bit.“

“I come here at least once a week and tend to order online. Today I ordered in person and was met by friendly staff who got my order quick. I really enjoyed my turtle cold brew and the cinnamon donut was good too. I will continue to visit this location.“

“My experience was pleasantly surprising. As ordering in store has become an increasingly hands off/use the kiosk scenario, I was shocked when an employee asked if I was ready to place my order with her at the counter. As more and more McDonalds will refuse to help you out, other than shuffle you over to the big screens, refusing even consideration of taking your order themselves, it was nice to know that there are some places left that understand the value of customer service and a moniker of human interaction and decency! Bravo 👏“

“Delicious coffee and baked goods! Our team loves picking up from your Cafe! 💫“

“The service is amazing and the food is so delicious! I love the ham torta sandwich. :) Definitely check them out!“

“MN is really stepping up their coffee game and this place may have served me one of the best cortados I've ever had. Cardamom Cortado was amazing, super strong and tastey with the perfect ratio and temp. The guy behind the counter definitely knows what he's doing because I'd come back again for just a cup of coffee here.“

“The owner is just WONDERFUL! Great service and very personable- a Saint Paul icon.“

“Spent a couple hours here for the Reclaiming Edmund event! Truly a beautiful/warm/welcoming shop. Wonderful food&drink. Community spirit. Absolute new fav!“

“Always love stopping by mudslinger's while out running errands. The only downside is that the line can get long in the mornings, especially on weekends. Despite this, they work quickly and I love supporting a small local business!

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids cocoa“

“I love this place!!! The service is amazing, the staff is happy, the pastries are to die for, and the coffee is absolutely fabulous!!! I've had quite a few of Luminarys specialty coffee drinks and all have been exquisite. Today, I noticed a new iced peanut butter chocolate coffee beverage, and had to give it a try. I was pretty sure this wasn't going to be my favorite drink and I was so so wrong. I'm amazed once again and the iced peanut butter chocolate coffee mix might be my new fave!!! 😋 ❤️🤟“

“Grab A Quick cup of Decentable of coffee“

“Hands down the best tea shop in the entire midwest 👌 knowledgeable staff and very high quality tea. Never disappoints! great selection of teaware as well ^__^“

“We love this place for the great seasonal beverage menu.“

“I recently bought an espresso machine and a nice grinder and wanted to find a local-ish roaster to buy beans from regularly. We tried two others and weren't blown away but then I did some research and found Roots Roasting. We bought their Classic Espresso beans online and it took me maybe 2 or 3 shots to dial in and when I did—wow! We liked them so much that today we drove from Somerset, WI just to buy a fresh bag and to try their coffee in the shop. I went with a spiced mocha and my wife got "something fun" and they are both absolutely delicious! We will be back and we will continue to order beans online if we can't make the drive. Really welcoming environment and the neighborhood is nice too. Great job Roots Roasting!“

“Only been here twice so far. Absolutely loved the biscuit egg, sausage sandwich. Absolutely loved the breakfast burrito. Great flavor in both. Great conversation with the owner. The burrito looked small but picking it up, it was heavy!! Great flavor, I'm thinking the beans were well seasoned. Didn't get the chorizo spicy flavor, but that's ok. I could see the meat in the wrap. They know how to make a killer biscuit. It was light, fluffy, and very flavorful. I hear their Cuban is supposed to be good, probably what I will try next.“

“They make a delicious latte!“

“Some of the best espresso drinks I’ve ever had in the cities !“

“I enjoy "mining" the $2 bins for hidden treasures!“

“Good coffee. Great mission.“

“I can honestly say this was one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. The aroma was rich and inviting, setting the perfect tone before even the first sip. The flavor was perfectly balanced — smooth, bold, and incredibly satisfying without any bitterness. You could taste the quality of the beans and the care that went into brewing it.
The texture was silky, and the aftertaste left a warm, pleasant finish that made me want to savor every moment. Whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a true enthusiast, this is the kind of coffee that makes an impression. Absolutely 5 stars — I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Great Ethiopian coffee! It's my "go to" place every weekday morning!“

“Great neighborhood place for laid back vibes that is dog and kid friendly“

“Cute, cozy neighborhood staple in a trendy, busy part of Saint Paul. They have an expansive breakfast menu with lots of sweet and savory options, and their drink menu is impressive as well! I tried the ube matcha iced latte, which was delicious, sweet, and smooth. Additionally (not pictured) I got their seasonal pumpkin smoothie which was sweet, nourishing, and had interesting fresh ingredients (sweetened with fresh dates!) Their lemon ricotta pancakes are huge, served with a generous amount of lemon curd and impeccably fresh blueberries. The texture is great: soft but not underdone, fluffy without being too heavy. We came at a busy time, so while drinks came out quickly, the food was a tad slow. All in all, though, I'd love to come back and try more menu options!“

“Fantastic mocha. For a mocha, this had depths of flavor and the coffee was a delicious compliment to the chocolate. This place was busy on a Sunday morning. But was worth the little bit of a wait. There is very little seating, so I grabbed my coffee to go.“

“I visited st. Paul and had to come visit. Great food, great service, great ownership, wonderful cats, and a great city“

“I went here for the first time today. The service was amazing, the coffee and food was great, and they have a cute little merchandise area. I will definitely be going again!“

“First bluegrass jam today. People and space fantastic. I’ll be back.“

“More than a coffee shop, it is worth the visit.“

“Fantastic coffee, incredible apple fritters. Staff were kind and attentive. They have a large coffee roasting oven behind the counter, so the entire place smells heavenly. Only one bathroom though, so don’t drink your coffee too quick.

Will be back, and likely will be purchasing coffee beans from them in the future.“

“Wonderful coffee. Wonderful mission. Wonderful atmosphere.“

“This is my favorite caribou in all the franchises and may be my favorite cafe on grand avenue! And it’s all because of the wonderful staff at this location :) Everyone is kind and engaging, it feels like a community experience walking in, plus I get a great dark chocolate mocha and a bit of tasty breakfast.“

“I needed a great cup of coffee on a cold rainy afternoon & stopped into Caribou where I know the coffee is always perfect. Never a disappointment. Greeted with a smile and fun time guessing the trivia question of the day. Always wonderful at caribou!“

“I don't frequent this caribou since it's pretty out of the way for me, but in the 5ish times I've stopped here over the past couple years, I've always received a high-quality drink, the staff have always been friendly, and the environment has always been well maintained when I'm there! I wish my local caribou was half as consistent!“

“I really love this location but the young lady who was making my cooler got kinda snappy with the cashier because I wanted extra ice.

“Came in to get some work done and left with a smile. The staff were so kind and helpful—it honestly made my day.

Edit 7/19: I was very talkative and took up the time of the baristas while they made drinks this busy morning. They were so kind and accommodating! I don’t always read the room properly. So I appreciate it. Thanks to the ‘bou!“

“always great service. excellent coffee. yummy Pastries. Great customers. the more people in line waiting the more smiles you see.“

“Very comfortable environment! Folks that work there are excellent with customers, they are kind, attentive and you can tell they want to be there, too.“

“Great people work there. Always welcome you“

“I love this location. Always a steady line of people coming through. The service is really great, and you can tell they have a great rapport with their regulars. Can be a little slow to get your drink so I don’t recommend if you’re in a rush. The chia pudding is made in house and came with the freshest blueberries. I like to get the Fogwood special when I come here which is a tea latte. Plenty of tables with outlets.“

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“

“The owner is just WONDERFUL! Great service and very personable- a Saint Paul icon.“

“Awesome place, awesome people!“

“The staff is very helpful and friendly! I’m always greeted with a smile! Today I even got a beverage recommendation and it was awesome!“

“The staff were so incredibly helpful with recommendations and letting me try samples. I'd highly recommend checking this place out, the selection was fantastic.“

“Excellent smooth, creamy all way thru (!!) hot latte, Rosemary White Choc Carmel Iced Latte balanced, not chemical-tasting, both depth of flavor no bitterness. Lots of food options all day -- waffles, too! Ambiance is welcoming, cozy not crowded, clean, lots of plants, natural light, seating options...non-accessible front entry, large, roomy patio (accessible entrance there?), easy parking, quiet streets. Highly recommend!!“
