Went mid morning for some coffee. Super chill, cute little Cafe. Barista was super nice and laid back. Prices are very reasonable, $10-11 for a 14oz Latte and a cinnamon roll. Only 2 blocks from the Hyatt Regency too! Will be back while I'm visiting. Also a bit confused by some of the negative reviews.

Would strongly avoid. I guess it serves alcohol, and of the 4 patrons, I think two may have been on drugs or strung out. Barista was unpleasant, atmosphere was downright scary, we felt unsafe with our kids. Couldn’t have left that place soon enough.

I really love the atmosphere. The chocolate muffin taste good, but it was kind of dry not that it was bad though! The staff is really nice. I can’t understand why you have to enter code to use the bathroom though…

I appreciate the atmosphere not typical but very inviting. Staff was pleasant and knowledgeable. Much better coffee than from a chain coffee shop for sure. I am always glad to support a local business that cares about the community. I will be a returning customer for sure.

Muffin Top is a cute, little spot with great coffee drinks to get you going and a full bar to mellow you out. I freaking love the atmosphere there. It's like Cental Perk from Friends but with booze!The staff is amazing and they've got great snack and soups! 10/10 would recommend!

If you’re looking for karaoke in Minneapolis, look no further. Minneapolis’ hottest karaoke bar is, the Muffin Top Café. This place has everything. An elderly black woman with diva hair bringing the house down with Tina Turner. Out Tonight from Rent. Bartender singing karaoke behind the bar and crushing it. Those weird, Googie style, mid century modern squiggles on the Formica bar top. Two random strangers who just met tonight singing a duet and slaying. Nobody wants to go first so the host sings and 15 people sign up. Disco lights and performances that bring a tear to your eye. Put on your makeup, turn on the 8-track, pull the wig down from the shelf, and bring it on down to the Muffin Top Café.

Coffee is amazing!!Great vibes and fun board games as well as card games to play.LGBTQ+ friendly <3It's a good 15 or so minute walk from the Sculpture Garden if you're looking for a good walk.

This small cafe has community at its heart, which is why I gave it an extra star. Many coffee shops don't see as such a variety of customers, but Muffin Top does and does their best to accommodate them, leading the staff to go the extra mile when needed. However, the atmosphere is different that other coffee shops; I came here to study, and at times found that difficult to do. Ultimately though, there wasn't too much distraction and I can empathize as it's a public establishment. Furthermore, a great perk of this place is that it's open later than the majority of other cafes. At night, it becomes less of a cafe and more a bar (I was working while staring at a lot of alcohol) but I think it's a fair tradeoff for the extended cafe-esque experience. The food here is nothing to rave about, but the prices are very reasonable. I wouldn't recommend coming here to zone in on work, but if you're mind chilling in a casual environment then this is a nice spot. Some immediate fixes to raise a star would be to consider adding a bottle of Febreeze and a coat hook in the bathroom and to fix the loud ventilator sound the door makes every time someone walks in. I'd return here and would even recommend this place to a friend.

Pretty over priced menu. Been here multiple times and staff is always unpleasant/unfriendly. The bartender rolled their eyes and sighed when I asked for a beer cheese soup.

This was a good place to stop for a quick lunch after leaving the convention center. The cheesecake and the pineapple smoothie were my favorite.
This place was so weird like they serve frozen pizza (which is fine by me) but somehow they were out of cheese. So we had to get a pepperoni and pick off the pepperoni but the pepperoni is more expensive and under the cheese. Not vegetarian friendly buts it’s fine we ate it. they also gave us expired soda. Both our sodas were expired. The decor was weird but the atmosphere was also weird. There’s a lady playing beautiful music right now I love her voice. But that is not a characteristic of the cafe itself. 2/5 we had a good time.

Plenty of seats, board games to share, awesome atmosphere, and the drinks are always perfect!

They send you $10 gift card for your birthday. Can you ask for any better gift from your neighborhood coffee shop?

I just visited Muffin Top for the first time, and loved it! Super cute, mellow-but-classy vibe, and nice big windows to work by.I went there this morning to work remotely, and I'll do it again. Also look forward to going back for bingo and drinks!P.S. I highly recommend the spinach quiche and Danishes. Yummy!

Stuck in this neighborhood this morning, and needing food, I found this place. I first glance the breakfast sandwich seemed expensive. But it's delicious and the food is high quality. I didn't think about the price again after the first bite. Great choice. Highly recommended
