50 Best Coffee Shops near Mounds View

“We love visiting this location and we visit often because of the friendly staff and cozy surroundings. Upon arrival we are always greeted with enthusiasm. Staff even remember the items we like to order. No matter how busy they are, they take the time to greet us and they never make us feel like they are in a hurry when taking our order. We will continue to visit this place.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“They have wonderful chai, a good breakfast and very chill vibes. Great little coffee shop!“

“Excellent coffee and a welcoming environment.“

“Always great friendly staff!!“

“Nice atmosphere! I don't drink coffee, but I enjoyed their chai latte and they had a bunch of delicious looking pastry options. Also love that the profits support youth futsal programs!“

“Just brewed a cup (pour over) of your organic Guatemalan and it is so smooth and delicious. Thanks for a great roast!“

“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 😊“

“Grab A Quick cup of Decentable of coffee“

“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 ^__^“

“This coffee shop is truly one of a kind! 🩷☕️ The humans who work here make the experience so welcoming from the moment you walk in. Kudos ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ And I don’t say this lightly — I’ve been ordering coffee for decades, and this is hands down the best iced coffee I’ve ever had! If you haven’t stopped by yet, you’re missing out 🙌🐒-T-🩷“

“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.“

“They make a delicious latte!“

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

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

“I love bringing my daughter here to play while I have an iced coffee, but I do have to deduct a star because the floor in the kids play area is always covered in dirt, even if we come early in the morning. Otherwise, the baristas are always friendly, the coffee is top notch, and the vibes are immaculate ✨“

“Lovely atmosphere. Educational experience. Helpful and friendly staff.“

“Great Ethiopian coffee! It's my "go to" place every weekday morning!“

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

“Great coffee, people, and music!“

“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“

“Found it by accident while in town. Met one of my friends there at the same time. Great little coffee shop. Busy but plenty of space to chill over a cup.“

“Everyone there is so nice, and their coffee is the best! And you’re liable to meet some cool dogs!“

“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 ^_^“

“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!“

“Really nice coffee shop with a well thought out layout. Has appropriate seating for many individuals as well as groups. Although I went here with a few friends I would enjoy going here to get some work done as well. The service was very quick and the people were very friendly which was a nice bonus. I ended up getting the regular latte which was pretty good as well as the chocolate chip cookie which was decent. My favorite part was the cup of seasonal drip coffee I got at the end which had a really nice flavor for those who like black coffee. Overall a really nice spot I just wish the location was a little bit easier to get access without a car. I almost forget to mention, there’s a ping pong table!“

“Best iced homemade chai!!“

“The food and coffee is so yummy and the workers are always kind! We love this place!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Amazing drinks! Beautiful space“

“Loud music and strong perfume scent, might be headache inducing for some people, so if this applies to you, might be better to get a takeout. Skip the pistachio milk bright green cake piece and go straight for honeycomb cheese pastry with honey on top, it is so good! Aden tea is good, strong and smooth but no cardamom flavour. They offer table games which is nice and makes this spot very welcoming to sit and play with friends while enjoying a hot beverage but unfortunately they don’t have enough pawns and dice for multiple tables to play same game which defeats the purpose.“

“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“

“Having an employee smile when they tell you that you could pay them less money because you have expiring offers you didn't know about is something I just don't expect. But that's exactly what happened. I walked out with a med brewed coffee and a chocolate croissant for less than $3 vs the $6-7 I thought I was going to spend. Quickly delivered and delicious as always, of course! Definitely a repeat customer!“

“Tried this place for the first time today. The vibes were great, the barista was very kind and helpful, and my coffee was great! Highly recommend asking for a “lavender honey vanilla latte thing” - the drink was the perfect balances of flavors and also the perfect temp!“

“Always a unique selection, friendly service and great tasting ice cream! I need to make up excuses to treat myself. :) The apple crisp and oatmeal raison cookie flavors are 👌“

“Something for everyone:
Gluten free options, Vegan options,Coffee alternative options, and of course the good stuff for everyone else.

My wife got the Tia’s Tumeric Latte (golden latte) and the vegan banana bread. I got the cardamom latte w. Almond milk with a gluten-free bagel. 10/10 Mocha Momma knows how to make a good espresso.

The owner is polite, friendly, and in general just a wonderful human being. We enjoyed our visit in the morning that we came back for a second coffee in the afternoon.
5 stars.“

“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.“

“7 Corners on West Bank rocks! It’s a wonderful quiet spot to catch up with friends complete with lots of natural light and plenty of seating. They sold art and cards as well as coffee and bakery items and I grabbed a very affordable Holiday Card! I tried the lumberjack latte but swapped maple for vanilla (So it was a Vanilla Cinnamon Oat Milk Latte) and it was DELICIOUS! The barista even brought out the mugs to my friends and I at our table. Thanks guys!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“
