I did not feel welcome from the entrance to exit. Staff kind of made me wait, the communication between them didn't seem there, between me and them wasn't so great either, I was surprised there was no stevia, and there was too much water added to the Americano.

Sweet little coffee place in a nice Edina neighborhood. Coffee is pretty solid here too and the seating arrangement is nice.

Staple coffee shop with great vibe, cozy ambiance, and peaceful lighting. We got the dirty chai and it was amazing. The service was quick and pleasant. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely pastry and service. The coffee was delicious and it is a smaller place but some comfortable seating available.

Not much to say other than this is a very nice cafe to share a coffee and conversation with someone or just get some work done. I really enjoy the atmosphere and comfortable furniture!

Cute little coffee shop! My matcha latte was so smooth. I had it with homemade vanilla. I love when places use homemade syrups. We stayed and worked on our laptops for awhile and felt welcome the whole time.Free WiFi, enough tables and outlets for working on things, games people can play, street parking, and friendly service. It’s also right across from Patina so you can do some shopping afterwards :)

This neighborhood coffee shop is a delight. It's tastefully decorated, has excellent coffee, albeit on the pricier side, and the treats were delicious as well. We tried 2 different cookies and the baklava and they were all very tasty. We were happy to pay a little more for the quality, service, and atmosphere. It's calm and cozy inside and my husband and I were able to hold a conversation without ever having to raise our voice. The other customers were respectful as well. The vibe of the place is really nice. Most coffee shops close early, but Shortwave is open for afternoon coffee, which is when we like to have ours. We will definitely be back!

This place is a great local gem with a relaxing vibe. The coffee is delicious (I love their lattes) and the service is fast and friendly.And, conveniently located near two great restaurants (Malt Shop and George & the Dragon), Tangletown Bike Shop, Patina, with the Bryant Ave bikeway within walking distance.
