50 Best Cafes near Mounds View

“Went there. I asked about a blended turtle versus iced or cooler. Said it was the same thing. Made it perfectly. I had a blended turtle with white and milk chocolate. That's my go-to Caribou from now on. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable.“

“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.“

“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 depends on why you are going here...Very *casual" place! Be patient! Take initiative if you have questions. I simply wanted a hot chocolate. It was all warm milk. Absolutely no chocolate flavor at all. I'm somewhat lactose intolerant, so I couldn't finish it. I'm sure Bingo would have been fun though, but I wasn't able to stay. Bingo is free to play and $20 gift for business purchases to the winner of cover all game. Fun cat themed accessories/ clothing to purchase. It would be fun to sit by the window to watch cats if not paying to go in to interact with them. There are also board games to play if just hanging out. I'm not a coffee or tea person, but wanted hot chocolate and love cats and wanted to check this place out.“

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

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

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

“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.“

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

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

“Alright, here's that food review for Albi Kitchen:

Stepping into Albi Kitchen is like receiving a warm hug, all thanks to Fardowsa, the amazing owner! Her welcoming spirit sets the tone for a delightful experience. The tea is excellent, perfectly complementing the flavorful Sambusas. Don't miss out on their juices, cakes, and sandwiches – each item is crafted with care and tastes incredible. Albi Kitchen is a must-visit for anyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“Ordered a full sheet of Ho ho cake at the Roseville location. From the online order to the pick up... absolute perfection. Everyone was so friendly and if they didn't know they found out the answer. I didn't have to worry if the cake was going to be exactly what I was hoping for. AND the taste... so many compliments. Definitely will be back for more cakes from here. Worth the hour and a half drive from home for it!!“

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

“Delicious coffee and baked goods! Our team loves picking up from your Cafe! 💫“

“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!“

“Has some of the best coffee I’ve had in MPLS and a really awesome offering of pastries. I highly recommend the cinnamon maple roll and the lattes are always terrific. I thought the breakfast sandwiches were pretty tasty but just too small for the price so I wouldn’t get them again. Overall, I consistently go here for the pastries bc they’re great.“

“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.“

“Very cool place. Great food and staff. Beautiful artwork.“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“I just wanted to thank the People at New Rules again!! I used the space to hold my birthday party. Everyone loved the unique space they offer. They were super easy to work with and very responsive with communication and questions. I would highly recommend them as an event space.“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“My caribou family!

I would be lost without the folks who work at this location. I feel seen, heard, valued and respected from the second I walk in to when I walk out.

Every drink comes out gorgeously, and always with enthusiasm. I work right next door and not all days are equal, but whether I’m down in the dumps or having a great day, every single one of them brightens it further.

Thank you so much for everything you all do, you truly make a difference in someone’s life.

Many hearts and thanks,
Wesley“

“Best Asian Food choice in Chaska with classic American food choices. Daughter loved the cheeseburger and fries.“

“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“

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

“It’s more than just coffee, the breakfast is excellent.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 !“

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

“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!“

“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.“
