50 Best Cafes near Mounds View

“This is not my normal Caribou I stop at; only once in a while do we stop at this location. We always receive great service. Fast, courteous, and the order is ALWAYS correct! This time, I forgot to order my kiddo's cake pop and the barista added it to the order with no problem when we got to the drive thru window! She did not make me feel it was a hassle adding it last minute even though they were busy! Thank you ?“

“Amazing food in a comfortable setting with great service.“

“Stopped in for a late lunch on the patio. Was interested in a bitters & soda and the server recommended mixing the rhubarb and cardamom, which was delicious and refreshing. Followed that with the Chix Correa sandwich and a side salad. Wow! Really creative flavors and well-executed. Could tell everything was made from scratch and with high quality ingredients and care. Also the decor was fun and hip, the music top-notch, and the staff kind. I look forward to coming back soon!“

“SO GOOD!!! the first time i ordered, i was HOOKED. the soup and sandwiches are DELICIOUS. and i cant seem to skip the banana pudding EVER. Im officially addicted to Sammy's.“

“It was okay…. Kinda disappointed with the lack of friendliness from staff. I came in just to get a coffee with my 2 year old. We didn’t attempt to see the cats or anything- I knew she was too little. Just looked in the windows while we waited. One employee completely ignored us. The one behind the counter did the bare minimum…. My coffee took a LONG time and we were the only ones in the store. We left right away. Again I did NOT let my toddler run rampant. She was very well behaved. Coffee wasn’t very hot. I’d still recommend if you were going for the cats. But unfortunately not for much else“

“So amazing! Everything was delicious!!! Five stars!“

“excellent brownies, with frosting and sprinkles. highly recommend. a pan was gifted to me and I'd buy them again!“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Great people. Hilltop is a gem of a little restaurant in our SSP/IGH community and Chef Negusse is wonderful!“

“The coffee and treats are excellent, great staff, and a lovely space in the atrium to sit for a few.“

“Everything was excellent and the service was great. Really nice place to have coffee and visit.“

“Wonderful combo of traditional fare and things you've probably never heard of. Friendly people and beautiful, tasty food.“

“10/10 ⭐️ Coffee and food is fabulous. The cafe has beautiful art inside of it, and the customer service was phenomenal!“

“Our party of 6 had delicious pastries and a variety of iced coffee and chai drinks that were all flavored to perfection. 10/10! To top all of that off, Nick’s service was 11/10. He was so kind and went above and beyond when it came to service. :-) Lastly, there were several patio options since they’re on a corner, and all were lovely and clean, and the outdoor tables and chairs were classy and sturdy. 10/10.

We’ll definitely be back!!!“

“I love there frybread they need to come set yup at super stop“

“great coffee, great service, the club sandwich is amazing.... will come back often...“

“Great coffee and atmosphere.“

“Welcoming & a Vibe. This is a real gem, a diamond in the rough. There is no place quite like Cafetto. It is punk, it is cozy, it is filled with music but it’s peaceful at the same time. The staff are always friendly, knowledgeable, and apt at making the perfect cup of joe or chai of choice. If you need a place to vibe, work, or have some fun (especially with the plethora of pinball machines in the basement), this is the place to be. I just wish there was a location in St. Cloud, but to me this place alone is worth the drive!“

“Best vegetarian breakfast joint in the State. It's more like an institution a landmark.
Seward Cafe is a staple it leaves a recurrent memory in your pallet as well in your soul.
Community neighborhood oriented and respected.
The absolute best“

“Staff is friendly. I love the atmosphere. The bubble tea there tastes so good. <3“

“Glad I finally stopped by this lovely, airy café for lunch! It feels like a museum café but far more relaxed and reasonably priced. I loved my vegetable tacos, made with grilled wild mushrooms, zucchini, and onion, and served with a really good homemade salsa. The coffee was also very good and slightly smoky (chicory?) The crafts gift store and art gallery in the building are a welcome plus! I want to bring guests from out of town here.“

“This Caribou, in particular, has THE MOST ELITE staff. They are extremely outgoing, they anticipate needs of customers, they are friendly, masterfully managed and they remember you. Outstanding, way to go Fairview Caribou! And no, I don't work there and neither does anyone that I know....Just a customer“

“Great coffee, really clean place and super friendly people. We will be back!“

“This is what a community coffee shop should feel like. There was a bustle and energy that was fun to be in. Thanks for being a great place to hang out and work!“

“Great Breakfast, awesome service, & beautiful decor.“

“Really liked this coffeeshop. The staff are super friendly and the place is clean. I got the almond milk vanilla latte and the blackberry ricotta streusel pain suisse. They were SO delicious! ?
I had a question about the ingredients and one of the baristas went above and beyond to get a hold of the baker to make sure my question is answered.“

“Café Harmony is such a gem! The coffee is excellent—smooth, rich, and consistently well-prepared. The ambiance is just as special: cozy, inviting, and perfect whether you’re catching up with friends, reading a book, or getting some work done.“

“It’s good for what it is. Order at the counter, food brought to table. I ordered a burger and gluten free bun, which was good (a really nice sauce was on it that amped up the flavor). Fries were average. Also purchase a Sanpellegrino soda, total was about $19

Dietary restrictions: Fries in the same cooker with wheat. Not celiac friendly“

“The service is always great, food is delicious and fast!“

“This is a great place. The owners are cool and fun to talk to. The baked goods are very high quality and affordable. A lot of other bakeries have stuff that tastes like bland butter mixed with sugar but this place has very good flavor. Not too sweet, high quality ingredients. They also sell food such as sambusas, ful and tibbs which are fresh and tasty! The coffee is good too“

“Good coffee, best scone I've ever had, friendly service, cool/artsy interior and a peaceful patio. I wish I lived closer - i would be here all of the time.“

“One of the best places in town in my opinion. I always try to stop in and grab a smoothie often, they taste delicious especially the blueprint & C.R.E.A.M . Nice healthier alternative compared to other places around the block. Great portions and great flavors. One of my favorite places to grab something quick. The restaurant is very clean with big open windows. Street parking is available.“

“Absolutely love the nutrition spot and Sabrina(owner)!! Our kids refer to it as the shake shop and always ask for a "blue tea". It's my go to for a quick breakfast or lunch. I've been going here for a couple years now, but I remember after my first order Sabrina already had it memorized what I liked the next time I came in!“

“Popped in after The Foo Fighters show last night. Staff was phenomenal handling that higher-than-normal Sunday night volume. Was a great place to sit for a bit and have many beers and some great conversation with strangers, as well as with the very nice and efficient bar staff. Thanks for having me.“

“Always a little bit busy. But it's because the Coffee is the best Around. I ordered online and mistakenly got another task to quickly finish. Ended up taking A lot longer than expected. Oops. My fault. But order was ready right away.
Iced drink was mostly melted my fault but it was still awesome. The gals are always a pleasure to deal with.“

“Walking distance from Augsburg U, friendly service. When asked what I was eating (I decided to get what a customer got before me), cashier took time tell me about malawah...sweet Somali pancake (warm, sweet delicious!). Coffee nice and strong!“

“I love this location. Convenient right by the highway. I order from home go pick it up and on my way to work. The people are always nice and my drink is always ready.

Dietary restrictions: They have all the dairy free options and their bousted are awesome alternatives for coffee.“

“Never disappoints me! My favorite section are the detox teas 😉“

“Cute, comforting, and super nice service. Excellent, excellent, excellent food--the fish sambusas are absolutely amazing, and the smoothies here are some of the best I've had in the Cities (not overwhelmingly sweet and sugary like most places). Nice find.“

“Best customer service with quality products. They carry variety of Ethiopian and east African food and spices(now Restaurant is added). Reasonable price and nice location which is closer to down town Minneapolis(Franklin & 23rd Ave south).“

“Tasty home style food , cooks are genuinely sincere n food is great but I won't lie it feels like your completely alone surrounded by people, people don't seem to acknowledge one another in that building , I think Jesus needs to be welcomed in there , ? food is good, I said thank you to the cook and he acted like no one ever spoke to him before“

“Outstanding on all counts!! Amazing food and a friendly staff, loved it! Can't wait to visit Minny again and go back! Thanks!“

“affordable. not enough vegetarian/vegan options - would anyone even notice if you made the lasagna or shepherds pie with veggie crumbles?“

“So many memories, so many good meals“

“The food was very on point and the portion sizes was amazing also. good atmosphere and good employees.“

“Mim’s Cafe is a FIND! Great atmosphere, friendly workers and our schwarma was delicious! The mocha and chai were on point too. We will be back!“

“This is my first stop every year at the State Fair. The Black Currant Tea is the best! Next to the Scones! This year they offer a SconeNut which is a cross between a scone and a donut!

BUT Wait! There's More! The best thing was the service that I received from Eden and CJ! These two youngsters knocked it out of the park. To see people wanting to work long hours and deliver with true smiles and authenticity made my first stop extra special! THANKS, kids, for what you do. "I'll Be Back". (Say it like Arnold) 8-)“

“We went back to the Lakeside Cafe and had another FANTASTIC Dinner. Claudia our server was again so nice and has a great attitude, as she does everything to please you. My wife had the Fish and Chips Dinner which was Alaskan cod dipped in batter made their own honey blonde ale, and is golden fried on the outside. The Fish is served with some homemade tarter sauce, which is Soooo Good, coleslaw, and french fries. The meal also comes with fresh made soup or salad , and a homemade Dinner roll. The Fish is Huge with a crispy crust and is so moist inside. Very Tasty ! I had the the Meat Loaf Dinner which I had with mashed and a baked potato with gravy, and succotash vegetables. I also enjoyed a crispy salad and a homemade Dinner roll. The Meatloaf is so tasty as it is freshly made with Onions, Bell peppers and other tasty ingredients. Every time we go to the Lakeside Cafe we are so pleased with the Service, and Taste of the Food. You have to go and check it out. This place Rocks !“

“Good place to eat and watch sports. Highly recommended.“
