50 Best Coffee Shops near Little Canada

“Qamaria the best coffee,
I went there today with my friends and everything was great. They welcomed us and the service was really good. I ordered baklava and it was so delicious. The place was clean and nice. It honestly felt like my first time there even though I’ve been to Qamaria many times. I definitely recommend this location ❤“

“My family comes to this location a lot. I'll be honest sometimes it's hit or miss on drink consistentcy and customer service. BUT I wanted to leave a review specifically calling out an employee for their amazing customer service. Dee you always brighten up our visits with your positive demeanor and we enjoy seeing your smiling face on our many drive through trips 🙂“

“I go to this drive thru fairly often and the baristas are always so nice. Even when there's a line, when I get up to the window, the employee helping me is friendly and asks if I want a straw, etc. I feel like this attitude is rare at restaurants, but I always have a positive experience here.“

“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 staff is amazing and kind. I really appreciated as a first time customer them asking what I like and then offering suggestions. Definitely not disappointed in my choice of the sugar maple and chocolate chip banana bread! Will be trying out more flavors of drinks!“

“Went here for the first time 3/11/26. I'm just going to say the experience was amazing. Food was fantastic service was top notch very friendly staff. the lovely lady at the door greeted us with a perfect smile (loved her hair) definitly will visit again“

“Always great friendly staff!!“

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

“Loved Hey Bear. They had a really great egg biscuit sandwhich. I'd usually get the chorizo breakfast burrito. It was all so well priced, filling, and tasted great.

They announced a temporary closure starting July 3rd while they reworked the menu and potentially renovated. But I stopped by just last week and the sign explaining the closure had been removed. The large sign and tarp covering the windows had also been removed. In its place was an open sign and a completely unrelated restraunt with no branding.

Hey Bear has been radio silent since they announced the closing and it seems like they are gone for good. Extremely unfortunate. The area really benefited from a good to-go breakfast spot. My commute to work is now lacking a good breakfast option. Very sad to see them go so silently. What seemed like a break turned into a sudden closure.“

“Amazing coffee & amazing people. Thank you for always creating a welcoming, safe place for all!“

“It’s the first time. Nice place. Good coffee. Friendly staffs 🥰“

“I love this place! Cherry Pie sundae is the best! A menu of affogati!“

“Best hot chocolate I’ve ever had“

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

“Great service, really good food, and the drinks were my favorite part!“

“My favorite coffee shop in town. Lovely baristas who know my order before I even get to the counter. My child is always so excited to go there on the weekends. Plus, their dedication to kindness, justice, and inclusiveness in our community is inspiring.“

“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 ^__^“

“This coffee is delicious. It tastes wonderful!“

“The beverages are very good and the eats are delicious! Also the cats in the Den are awesome. And, one more thing, the decor is nothing short of amazing!“

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

“Great coffee, people, and music!“

“MANNY!! What a barista! This man is dedicated to his craft, and damn is he good! Had one of the best salted caramel lattes I've ever had. So delish. They have a ton of fun flavors to choose from, some house made even! Also got a strawberry lemonade to go which was yum! I was so impressed with my visit to Fireroast. They have a bunch of places to sit indoors, and even more outside!!! They even have a high top seating outdoors. How nice is that. This place is so cozy and I absolutely love how they have some items from sellers for guests to browse/buy. You already know I took a hat home with me. Absolutely stunning cafe, lovely staff, and great options for snacks and bevs. Seems to get a bit crowded with older folk, but the guests are kind! Might just be a bit busy when you visit. I'll absolutely be coming back. One of my new favorite MPLS cafes, Thank you Manny and Fireroast team!!“

“I’ve eaten here three times. First place I’ve tried since moving to St. Paul. Can definitely say if you want a good breakfast/lunch this is the place to go. Everything is decently portioned for those who love big meals or would like some food for leftovers overs to enjoy later. Out of what I’ve had I’d recommend the Onigiri (specifically the salmon and pickled onions), any of their fruit teas, and the bacon and Swiss crepe (honestly any of them sound great though). All the food is fresh ingredients and not frozen.

Atmosphere is very chill and down to earth. Very cozy and comfort oriented. Only complaint is that if it’s busy not a lot of room to work with and can be a little loud. When it’s slower very nice place to hang out with friends and listen to the music they play.

The service is 5/5! Very nice, relatable, and fast service.“

“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!“

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

“Tiny little neighborhood espresso shop with hipster folks hanging outside drinking good brews.

$5 iced latte, $3 espresso, $3 drip. $1 flavor addins.

Had an iced latte with mocha and oat milk. Perfect taste.“

“Good coffee. Great mission.“

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

“Always so good! Chef's special dry tofu is the best!!“

“One of the best and most unique cafes to visit on long wintery days in Minnesota. It gives you that Dubai vibe, and a great place you should check out.“

“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!“

“Fun little gem! Great coffee!! & visiting the kitties is so fun!“

“I've visited this location a few times and have always had a good experience. They have great drinks, friendly service, and an inviting atmosphere.

They have live music, but I haven't been able to experience that yet.“

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

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

“Wonderful coffee. Wonderful mission. Wonderful atmosphere.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great people work there. Always welcome you“

“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!“

“We went to the cities to see Evanescence on the 20th of September and had layover time for the concert to start so my husband and I walked from the venue to Little Brazil. Unfortunately, we got absolutely drenched walking back to the show. Not only that, but we forgot our precious signed posters from the band at our table . The staff saved our posters and kept them safe until we made it back to get them the next day which we truly appreciated. They would have been destroyed by the weather otherwise. We were SO enamored with this gem of a place, it was WORTH the soaked clothes, chattering teeth and watching the rest of the concert soaked through! There is definitely something for everyone whether it be coffee, dessert, sandwiches. They also have a market of imported goods to try like chocolate, candies, snacks etc. Now whenever we are near the cities, it's going to be a must stop! 💖“

“I frequent this location a couple times a month. The baristas are fun to talk to and consistently deliver well-made beverages. I often get the mini turkey bacon sandwich and a matcha lemonade. The only draw back to this location is how small it is. The unique location offers a wide range of clientele. Rarely, but sometimes, customers are quite loud despite the small area. This place would not be the best for a private conversation or long laptop work days.“

“The food and coffee is so yummy and the workers are always kind! We love this place!“

“Good parking, nice patio option and indoor seating available. They were quick, clear, and the staff was noticeably fun and working well together. There was even a large spill that happened but they were quick to get a no slip sign out and kept high spirits even through clean up. Great place!“

“Adorable coffee shop with vegan bakery items - the staff were seriously the best. Joyful, greeting regulars by name and clearly enjoying working together.

Sarah & Safa were great to offer ideas of what to visit during our quick weekend in Minneapolis.

I realize now as an out of town guest this is a chain but definitely didn’t give a chain feel.“

“Having an employee smile when they tell you that you could pay them less money because you have expiring offers you didn't know about is something I just don't expect. But that's exactly what happened. I walked out with a med brewed coffee and a chocolate croissant for less than $3 vs the $6-7 I thought I was going to spend. Quickly delivered and delicious as always, of course! Definitely a repeat customer!“

“What makes this the best caribou is not the quality of the drinks or the convenience but the amazing individuals who work here. Every time I go to this caribou I know I will have a great start to my day due to the incredible customer service. Special thanks to Allie & Jim!“

“First time and it was delicious“

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“
