50 Best Coffee Shops near Mounds View

“Clean and welcoming! Very friendly staff. They turned attention to me as soon as i was ready to order, very cheerful and quick staff from start to finish. While I was waiting for my drink, they were all chatting and laughing. Good chemistry behind the counter and it wasn't inappropriate like I've heard other places when its a somewhat young crew. Perfectly tasty smoothies and shaker! Came out promptly despite them being fairly busy in and in drive thru! Overall, great experience !!“

“I love the convenience of having a caribou in the office and the the employees are super friendly. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is that they just upped the cost of an espresso shot from $0.86 to $1.72...seems a little excessive to more than double the price.“

“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 ?“

“The two crispy McChicken sandwiches for $2. What a treat!“

“Great coffee and atmosphere.“

“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!“

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

“Great coffee place! What makes this place special is the owners providing a separate building for AA meetings that run from dusk to dawn. Now that is Good Karma!“

“My absolute go to for coffee in the twin cities. So many reasons to support this business!“

“I gotta say, I am very impressed. Out of all of the reviews you guys are going to read, I promise you guys, no one is as impressed as I am. The Mowafar iced latte I had, the Adeni chai tea iced latte, the KhaliatNahl (honey comb), and what I was looking forward to tasting the most: the bint al-sahn (sabaya). Good job guys, and ps, earlier the day of posting this review, I ate Lamb Haneeth, so on top of that overall, Yemen just hits it out of the park all the time. Well done Qahwah, and well done, Yemen, well done. 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪“

“Coffee is amazing ❤️ and customer service is lovely 😊“

“Always love stopping by mudslinger's while out running errands. The only downside is that the line can get long in the mornings, especially on weekends. Despite this, they work quickly and I love supporting a small local business!

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids cocoa“

“Hands down the best tea shop in the entire midwest 👌 knowledgeable staff and very high quality tea. Never disappoints! great selection of teaware as well ^__^“

“Pilllar is an amazing coffee house and venue in NE Mpls. The staff are on point, they treat people and artist well, and it’s a safe and welcoming place for all non-turds. Coffee and THC drinks. What more could I ask for?“

“Only been here twice so far. Absolutely loved the biscuit egg, sausage sandwich. Absolutely loved the breakfast burrito. Great flavor in both. Great conversation with the owner. The burrito looked small but picking it up, it was heavy!! Great flavor, I'm thinking the beans were well seasoned. Didn't get the chorizo spicy flavor, but that's ok. I could see the meat in the wrap. They know how to make a killer biscuit. It was light, fluffy, and very flavorful. I hear their Cuban is supposed to be good, probably what I will try next.“

“Being a work from home mom, I LOVE this place. Great coffee and awesome play area in back to keep the kids busy“

“They make a delicious latte!“

“I can honestly say this was one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. The aroma was rich and inviting, setting the perfect tone before even the first sip. The flavor was perfectly balanced — smooth, bold, and incredibly satisfying without any bitterness. You could taste the quality of the beans and the care that went into brewing it.
The texture was silky, and the aftertaste left a warm, pleasant finish that made me want to savor every moment. Whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a true enthusiast, this is the kind of coffee that makes an impression. Absolutely 5 stars — I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“I enjoy "mining" the $2 bins for hidden treasures!“

“Great atmosphere, great coffee and the best caprese sandwich around.“

“Came here w/ my partner, immediately greeted by a smile from the barista named Emily :D We both ordered a coffee & a latte. It was SO good!!!! Made small talk w/ Emily, we felt so welcomed & right at home. Visiting from Chicago, & love trying out new cute laces like Hola! Highly recommend to everyone ^_^“

“First bluegrass jam today. People and space fantastic. I’ll be back.“

“Carter made me one of the best espresso shots I've ever had. Place is an absolute gem. Rare to find a quality shop using top tier equipment but actually have the Baristas with the knowledge to maximize what they make. Try the Las Lajas espresso!“

“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.“

“Amazing drinks! Beautiful space“

“Visiting from out of town and needed a place to get some work done for two hours. Dogwood was the perfect place to do just that, with free wifi, ample seating, and plenty of outlets. I got a Red Wolf Chai Latte with oat milk, which I immediately chugged because it was so good. Aside from the cute to-go cups, there's also a selection of merchandise featuring their branding so I couldn't help but buy one of their stickers. I don't often feel excited about having to do work, but being at Dogwood brought me a lot of joy.“

“Amazing coffee and very cool vibe!“

“This is a place you’ll get hooked on. From the Waygu burger, Salmon Sandwich to their baked goods. I bought a brioche loaf and made the most amazing French toast from it. Very worth a visit for breakfast and lunch!“

“Delicious food, amazing service and atmosphere! I’ve been twice in the last month already 😁🤭 Side note: their menu has pork notations! Which is super helpful as I don’t eat pork“

“In my mission to find my favorite iced chai in Minneapolis, this local spot has to be one of my favorites, if not my #1 pick. I also love the cinnamon chip scones they have. 7 Corners is always very clean, has quick and friendly service, and an overall really chill energy. It’s a great place to grab a drink, do some work, and relax.“

“I needed a great cup of coffee on a cold rainy afternoon & stopped into Caribou where I know the coffee is always perfect. Never a disappointment. Greeted with a smile and fun time guessing the trivia question of the day. Always wonderful at caribou!“

“I don't frequent this caribou since it's pretty out of the way for me, but in the 5ish times I've stopped here over the past couple years, I've always received a high-quality drink, the staff have always been friendly, and the environment has always been well maintained when I'm there! I wish my local caribou was half as consistent!“

“They have good drinks, bakery and hot food is so-so, not the best. The only complaint I have is that it’s always cold/cold air blowing. Every seat feels cold, doesn’t matter if it’s farthest from the window, it’s cold. Hopefully they turn up the heat in the winter time“

“Came in to get some work done and left with a smile. The staff were so kind and helpful—it honestly made my day.

Edit 7/19: I was very talkative and took up the time of the baristas while they made drinks this busy morning. They were so kind and accommodating! I don’t always read the room properly. So I appreciate it. Thanks to the ‘bou!“

“Great cafe!! Such a lovely place with the best staff!!! The staff here are the best part to me, they're always so kind and put in their all. The vibes of this cafe are so rustic and cozy. It sucks you right in and keeps you there! Their drinks are pretty good, nothing special, but they do special wonders with giving me caffine haha. I'd recommend getting a chocolate chip cookie with your drink because they are humongous and so tasty. This place gets insanely busy while in semester. I'd suggest coming as early as possible to avoid crowds and secure a spot because they definitely will all be taken up when you want to visit. I often see people almost waiting on the side searching for someone to leave so they can sit. Because it's so busy, it also gets pretty loud. This wouldn't be my study spot choice, but it is a nice spot to meet up with friends for a chat. Parking isn't the best, very limited paid street parking. Walking or taking a bus here is a better option to take.“

“Heading home to Seattle, stopped here, after perusing reviews, and really happy to get a nice Americano. Enjoyed a berry danish, as well. It was flaky-buttery, fruity, with just enough almond cream filling. Spouse ate a Belgian waffle, and barista took the time to discuss my husband's allergens.“

“Sip Coffeebar is a delightful place - with bright and whimsical decor. Barista, Iza, was wonderful - charming, patient and efficient. The sandwiches are delicious and the iced lattes seemed especially delicious! They also offer soup, homemade cookies and much more. Indoor and outdoor seating options are great for warm, sunny days.

Parking: There were multiple spots available on the street when I was there.“

“As an event and wedding planner, The Glasshouse is one of my favorites. Not only is their space so unique in its elegant design, the staff are top notch. I always know that my client’s event will be fully supported by an incredible team. Plus, they are a values based venue that priorities sustainability behind the scenes, which is always a win for everyone involved!“

“Best iced homemade chai!!“

“Starbucks made a big wrong move opening next to Caribou. Specially, the one in Lino Lakes that one is the most premium Caribou I have ever been to. They’re always busy lines of cars to the drive-through. Also, Caribou knows how to hire quality beautiful women compared to Starbucks The people at Caribou move like they took a 10 shot espresso but with a smile wow I love going to Caribou plus it always looks slow every time I pass Starbucks to go to Caribou“

“Super fun location and great coffee. Fun for the whole fam!!“
