“The coffee was extremely fresh, as I had to wait 45 seconds for it to finish brewing.The morning staff were so fun to be around. We all had good laughs at little things.The atmosphere was very pleasant. Comfortable and quiet. Gave me time to think.I absolutely love the place.“
“This McDonald's is a better than average location to go to. The food usually comes out right when ordering from the drive through, but there have been multiple instances when item(s) were missing. All in all, not a bad place to go for the McDonald's dining experience. Staff are polite and the speed of service is usually decent.“
“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!“
“Amore Coffee in Saint Paul is my favorite local gem. The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and exceptional coffee make it the perfect spot to unwind. Plus, their pastries are always fresh and delicious. Highly recommend for a relaxing coffee experience!Parking: It depends at what time you visit this place.“
“This has become my favorite coffee shop. Run by a wonderful family. Excellent coffee and other beverages. The spicy Mexican hot chocolate is terrific. I also enjoy the latte and the cappuccino. Baked goods are divine - I especially love the oat bread and the banana bread. Although I have not sampled yet there are also breakfast and lunch items that I can see are popular. Compact seating area that is comfortable and the noise level moderate.“
“Wow. What a great experience. Our server Priscilla was amazing. She turned around what could have been a disappointing evening due to a longer than normal wait for our food by offering incredible service which is increasingly rare. The creme brulee was the life-changing. So good.“
“Went for Easter Brunch. I've been on the hunt for good brunch spots in the Twin Cities as a college student who often needs a Sunday afternoon rally. After all the places I've tried, Hope may just be the best the city has to offer.Hope, simply put, has its ducks in a row. The service is snappy. The 1-hr cap on dining time seems daunting, but you'll come to love it--it's a great way to keep customers coming in when certain types start sipping a little too slowly on their Captain Crunch cocktails. Being from the South, I'm used to brunch taking eons due to these types of tables. That's not an issue here! They're no-nonsense. Server was friendly and gave great recommendations. Every course was delicious and surprising.We started with the Captain Crunch cereal milk Rumchata cocktail and raspberry lemonade--both of which were divine. Very strong flavors that taste exactly as advertised. Not too sweet despite what others have suggested. I got the pimento cheese scramble with bacon and baby monkey cakes--good lord. Everything was out-of-this world. The peanut butter syrup on the monkey cakes is like crack--again, I'm from Louisiana, so plate-licking dishes are a high bar for me. My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles with the incredible jalapeno syrup (great dipping option for the bacon, too). He's a chicken and waffle fanatic and has gotten it at every brunch place we've been to--this is the best!We will be coming back. Very reasonable prices considering the quality and inventiveness of the food as well as the excellent service and atmosphere.“
“I have been exploring Roseville and St Paul as I'll be relocating there soon. Man was I happy to run into this place. For me this is how a coffee shop should be. Dark wood, cozy eclectic vibe, supporting the local community, a good variety of coffee/espresso based drinks, toss in some fresh baked goods and snacks if you need them and you have a great place for good conversations, reading a book, or just sitting in the corner alone like me and enjoying the moment.Parking: Extra large parking lot. No problems there.“
“My favorite neighborhood ice cream shop! They serve Chocolate Shoppe ice cream from Wisconsin and it is the perfect creamy-but-not-too-fatty tasting ice cream. The flavors switch out a lot so there is variety, but my favorite (The S#$t Just Got Serious) is always there. The owner and team are friendly and I always leave smiling!“
“I did not think this “shack” would be my go-to coffee shop. But, holy cow - it’s the BEST! I can walk to two Caribous and a Starbucks, but I prefer to get on the highway just for a coffee from Mudslingers. Something about the espresso there just doesn’t even compare to other places, even some of the more hipster and bougie coffee shops. I’m utterly impressed. Keep doing what you’re doing.“
“A new favorite of mine. The bun vermicelli noodle salads are so good. I've tried the chicken teriyaki and grilled pork and they're both delicious. Love all the drinks...I had the brown sugar milk tea with boba, and they have non-dairy options too, like oat milk. Of course the croissants and baked goods are amazing! Will be going back regularly. Oh and the bulgogi beef kimchi fries! Fantastic!Dietary restrictions: Dairy free drink optionsKid-friendliness: Lots of space, variety of seating options, very kids and family friendly.“
“My family and I recently went to luminary and loved the place! It is cozy and we liked the theme. We tried several pastries (cinamon swirl, chocolate raspberry cone, and a chocolate croissant) and they were all delicious. We also all loved the coffee we got! It has been hard to find a spot with good coffee as of late and this spot was definitely one to save with great drinks and a great experience. The only con is there isn't a ton of seating and the place, seeing as it is so good, gets busy.“
“I was feeling adventurous so I ordered the Bluebeards Ghost and It was glorious! Slightly salty, a little spicy, and the Vanilla brought a subtle sweetness. I ordered it a second time and added sugar and totally ruined my drink, don't be like me ?Kid-friendliness: My daughter always gets a vanilla steamer when we come here. It makes her feel like a big girl which is pretty cute.“
“I love Rafiki! The owners are so welcoming and intentional about knowing their customers. They remembered my name after the first time they met me even with weeks apart from my second visit! Great large room for bigger meetings and small tables for individual workspace. Unique food & drink options that are similar to what you can find at any coffee shop along with their own unique spin on drinks as well. Try the African tea, it’s delicious and well spiced!Parking: There is a free lot adjacent to the space, but is shared with other businesses so at times it can be difficult to find street parking that is close enough.“
“Records are fun, vibe is great, coffee is good but the pastries… OMG amazing. Best danish I’ve ever had, my partner’s egg sandwich looked phenomenal (he confirms also good).I wouldn’t say it’s extremely high quality third wave coffee if that’s what you’re looking for, but definitely top tier 2nd wave.“
“The iced americano was excellent; their espresso is very good! This morning was my first breakfast sandwich, and it won't be my last. Brioche hamburger sized bun with egg and choice of cheese. Add ons include Dijonaise and Giardiniera as well as Ham. My ham, egg, American cheese, and dijonaise was awesome; not greasy at all! They take a couple of minutes to make fresh, but worth the wait.“
“I wish everything up on the hill were as perfect as Nina's. On a weekday morning this place is packed with people from all walks of life. A lot of students park here and take up tables just with them and their laptops which is my only gripe. Prices are reasonable. Be prepared to wait a bit for drinks because it is very popular.“
“This Wildflyer Coffee store offers a satisfying range of quality brews in a great ambiance. The staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. While the selection could be slightly broader, the overall experience is delightful, earning it a solid five stars.Dietary restrictions: Good selectionsParking: Decent parking adjacent to the store and play street side parkingWheelchair accessibility: It has wheelchair access“
“What a treat! Cafe Astoria offers an exquisite blend of immaculate vibes, tasty food, and unique beverages, both hot and cold. I highly recommend the Athena Omelet Wrap and Mexican Mocha. Seating was surprisingly ample! We were expecting to have to wait on a Saturday morning, but their spacious interior and friendly staff made for a very smooth and pleasant experience. Hope to be back!“
“Wildflyer is a shop with a vision - "to end youth homelessness". The shop is nice, they teach skills beyond just making coffee, the coffee and snacks are really good. Living out of that neighborhood, I hadn't found the ship before, but now that I have, I'll be back often.“
“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!“
“Talk about a great selection of loose leaf teas! I especially enjoyed being able to look and smell them within the store itself and read about the differences without having to ask for assistance. They also have hot and iced teas to-go. I tried out their iced chai and it didn't disappoint- a nice balance of spice and sweet.“
“Love their coffee & matcha! Have been to this location many times & the staff is always so friendly. Unfortunately that is a rare occurrence at some of the twin cities coffee shops ? Had a good time chatting with the employee working! Thank you SK!“
“Fantastic little coffee shop with a great atmosphere, delicious menu and neat merchandise all at reasonable pricing and easy in and out access! The service there has always been phenomenal and prompt with a friendly greeting. The cinnamon roll twists are deliciously simple and my Redbull infused flavor drink is great. We've purchased a few coffee cups from there as well with neat branding. Will definitely be back!“
“Nestled in the heart of Midway, Workhorse Coffee Bar proved to be a hidden gem awaiting discovery. My daughter and I stumbled upon this quaint establishment on a crisp morning, seeking respite from the bustling streets outside. What we found exceeded our expectations and left us longing for more.Upon entering, we were greeted by the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the inviting warmth of the cozy interior. The ambiance was a harmonious blend of modern chic and rustic charm, with exposed brick walls adorned with local artwork, complemented by the soft glow of pendant lights hanging from the ceiling.As we approached the counter, we were met with friendly smiles from the baristas, whose passion for their craft was evident in every cup they served. After perusing the menu, we decided to indulge in some breakfast bites to accompany our coffee. The selection was diverse, featuring both sweet and savory options crafted with care using locally sourced ingredients.I opted for the chocolate cookie, a masterpiece of simplicity and flavor. My daughter grabbed a gluten free cookie that made her smile light up the room.Workhorse Coffee Bar is more than just a place to grab a cup of coffee; it's a haven of warmth, community, and culinary delight. Whether you're seeking a quick caffeine fix or a leisurely breakfast bite with loved ones, I wholeheartedly recommend paying a visit to Workhorse Coffee Bar. You won't be disappointed.“
“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 ?“
“Stopped into Roots this afternoon and tried their cappuccino and green tea. Both were quite nice with the cappuccino being delightful. We tried a croissant as well and while it was a bit denser than I’m used to, it was still quite tasty and went well with both drinks. The store itself is a bit small but clean and well lit. Will definitely go back whenever possible.“
“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.“
“I ordered a sugar free decaf skim coffee drink and it was among the best I’ve ever had. The staff were friendly and personable and worked hard to make my order right. The space was cozy and had a number of places to sit even during a rush time.“
“Ordered both the lychee milk tea and the Thai tea milk tea with boba pearls and I must say it is absolutely delicious! The lychee milk tea was great! My 4 year old loved it! This place actually beats Sencha's Thai tea in my books! The flavor is more distinct and the boba is really delicious! It is a cute place to grab a boba tea and relax or grab and go. They also have simple sandwiches and wraps, along with some breakfast items. Looking forward to trying more from Tag Cafe!“

“This place is tucked away near United Hospital between 5th and 7th in StP. Since my partner doesn't care for breakfast food for breakfast, the diversity of LA Fusion's menu was perfect for him. Their full menu was available at 9am.Samosas, Kenyan bowls, crepes, burgers, salads, smoothies, quesadillas, lattes, breakfast sandwiches, omelettes oh my!ordered the beef samosas. My partner ordered the chicken quesadillas. Both came out within minutes.Three crispy samosas with a jerk dipping sauce (you have a choice of several different options)YUM! Well stuffed full of beef with a perfect crunch.The quesadilla was huge. He could only finish half and took the rest home for lunch.Very clean place. Huge drink menu. This was our second time visiting and look forward to exploring more of the menu.Parking: The paid lot has spaces designated for LA Fusion at no charge.“
“I orderd the 6 inch Nutella cake for my wife's birthday. She and everyone at her party absolutely loved the cake. We loved it so much, we were so eager to cut a slice and forgot to take a picture before we did! We will definelty come back to Equisite for our cake needs!“
“Excellent beer selection in a dog & kid friendly environment. Location right by the train, bus, & apartments is optimal. Limited parking, but they do have spots specifically for Venn. Restrooms for customers only. Highly recommend the sours, stouts, & especially the Hawaiian Hog, which almost tastes like bacon due to the smokiness.“
“Man this place well Gravy Babies on the weekends is sooooo good everything I ate was on point I had smothered pork chops, smothered steak and candied yams collard greens with turkey neck and cabbage, rice cornbread and cake was all the way off the chain have to make it her at least once on the weekends, worth the money I promise you your gonna like it“
“Stopped in for a croissant and after that one I had to get more to take home! Also enjoyed a few other treats and some friendly employees. I hope the St. Patty’s croissants are available next year as well because they were seriously AMAZING.“
“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 :)“
“I usually get to Dunn Bros. on Saturday mornings to get a cup of French Java or another dark roast. The building is old, but has character. Art for sale on walls, cafe table, chairs, an old stage, and even a coffee bean roaster in the corner to admire. The locals are always there chatting, studying, or killing time. The workers are always smiling, friendly, quick to assist, and get the orders right. The place gets its fair share of interesting people though and that can make for some entertainment.“
“The atmosphere as soon as you walk in are calm, inviting, small, and lovely. Slow and I love that. It makes you feel good to walk in there to enjoy or grab your coffee, theres multiple tables and a great seating area. They sell the coffee beans, books, and have a menu that you can choose your flavors to add to your coffee. The coffee itself is smooth and not strong or delicate , it’s juss right. I love it here. It’s a small shop, and I wish their hours were more expanded but otherwise it’s sucha lovely unique coffee place. I think alotta people enjoy it too?️?☕️ I get the cherry white chocolate hot mocha and it’s so delicious ,??? the lady and man are so nice too. They run it by themselves I think cause iv never seen anyone else in there helping.“
“We had a cinnamon pull-apart, a white lightning, and a seasonal gingerbread latte. The white lightning looked nothing like the advertised pictures and also had no vanilla flavor. The espresso tasted burnt and it was overall an unenjoyable beverage. The gingerbread latte had no recognizable gingerbread flavor but instead tasted like a standard latte with a dash of cinnamon. The espresso tasted far better in this drink but it was still underwhelming. We enjoyed the cinnamon pull-part most out of what we ordered, however, it was still quite dry.The service was friendly and quick and the atmosphere was lively with excellent decor.“
“The lighting and the soft funky music was spot on. The food and drinks were amazing. The only difficult park was parking. I want to try their brunch out. We had 9 people and they were very accommodating. Definitely my favorite place down town Saint Paul!!!“
“I found this place on Google Maps and decided to try it. Milkweed was full of people and had many customers coming through to get coffee for take out. Despite this, it had a laid back vibe. There are tables in front and more comfy chairs in the back. They have an assortment of THC cocktails on the wall and sell gummies on the counter. I didn't have a place to plug in, but I was still able to work on my laptop for a little while to enjoy the experience. I had a specialty drink, which was good and a cold brew which hit the spot. Overall I enjoyed my experience.“
“A truly memorable experience! They host tastings quite regularly to help each brand promote its products and connect with the consumer directly. They have a huge selection of THC products from beverages to edibles. There is something here for everyone. Highly recommend!“
“Great atmosphere, the happy employees with their banter behind the counter and the openness of the order area is comforting. My breakfast sandwich was quite frankly the best one I’ve ever had, worth the money. I live over 45 minutes away but I will be back just for this shop!“

“This is a coffee shop, not a full restaurant and they make some really nice coffee drinks with ingredients you don’t find at chain coffee places, like bitters and molasses and cardamom. The speciality coffee drinks are around $6-8 dollars but are worth it. More worth it than paying that for something at the Mermaid place.They have seating, but it is a small place, located inside of an entire building with other things in it. The building recently put in an old time arcade, so we went to Five Watt and had delicious coffee drinks, I think one was called Bee Sting if I recall. Then there were old pinball machines from the 80s and 90s around too in the hall areas of the building. The barista who was working at Five Watt was great. He was really nice and their speciality coffee drinks are amazing.“
“The Coffee is absolutely incredible, got to spend my morning talking with Sean and I was struck in awe by his love of the beautiful characteristics in the simplicity of coffee.Keep up the amazing roasting and you have a life long customer now!“
“This place is soooo good. I was looking for a donut shop, but this was closer and boy am I glad! No donuts of course, but the strawberry croissant is to die for, and the spinach one is absolutely delicious. While the chocolate Exotic isn't exactly something I'm in love with, it's very popular and I could very much see why people enjoy it. An amazing shop to say the least. Next time I want to try a Bahn mi.“
“We had the incredible opportunity to host an after hours event at the shop, and I simply cannot speak more highly of the service and ownership of this shop. The owner Greta is a deep supporter of her community and has fostered such a thoughtful and wholesome environment.“
“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.“
