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 ?“

“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!“

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

“This place is an absolute gem! The food was fantastic, with great vegetarian options. But the real standout was the service—welcoming, warm, and full of genuine smiles.

“Thank you for making my day! Today is my birthday and my hubby went to get my favorite treat(The House Made Chocolate Cake) at the Stillwater location, but they were closed. Then those little angels inside saw him lingering at the door and after he told them his dilemma they gave him TWO slices to save the day! Showing kindness like that is a true testimony to your business model and all that is right in this world! We love that you are in Stillwater now. Thank you and see you soon!“

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

“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!“

This coffee shop is a perfect spot for anyone seeking a positive and productive environment, and the excellent service undoubtedly contributes to a memorable experience.“

“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.“

“Check this place out if you get to the fair. Great beer selection and tasty food! The tacos and arancini are amazing, and have the nachos for a little extra snack.“

“It's open again as of June 2024! I had their bison melt with blueberry horseradish aioli and it was very good. I've tasted their appetizers, salads, and desserts at a catered event, and those were very fresh, tasty, and innovative as well. Highly recommend. The building had their grand opening on May 1st so the restaurant is in a new remodeled space.

Parking: Parking lot onsite.

Wheelchair accessibility: Building newly remodeled so it meets current ADA accessibility requirements.“

“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“

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

“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!“

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

“Staff were friendly, helpful, and informative. I asked a lot of questions since I'm new to the area and had not tried Caribou Coffee before. The drink was made exactly to my specifications and was very good.
Apple cinnamon pastries are delicious. I took an extra one home with me. Eggs benedict sandwich was okay but less flavorful than expected. The store was very clean and had a comfortable atmosphere.“

“Is it me or is there a different vibe when eating at a veg café? Perhaps what I was feeling was the beautiful sunny Sunday morning that greeted everybody in a nice way, or maybe it was just the thought of everyone with similar values enjoying a meal together in the same place. Either way, I had a delightful and slow-paced Sunday morning breakfast at Seward Café. With 27 menu items that are either vegan or can be made vegan upon request (all clearly labeled), you won’t have a hard time finding something enjoyable to eat like I did.

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

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

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

“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.“

“Great little coffee shop! Excellent customer service! We had chai tea latte, a smoothie and pepperoni frybread pizza. All were so delicious!! Migwiich!“

“I got some breakfast here before my appointment at M Health Fairview and it was pretty decent! In particular, all the staff were really nice and friendly. Their coffee was kind of mid, but I thought the breakfast sandwich I had was pretty good. Overall, a decent stop if you are at the clinic and need a pick me up.“

“Great food and friendly attentive waitress when we ate here today. The dining area is nice with the big windows and the tables were nicely spaced apart.“

“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 !“
