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.“

“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! 💫“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“👍🏽👍🏽⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic coffee and tea combos, yummy locally made treats, fabulous staff - welcoming, calming, cozy atmosphere ❣️ Thank you ❣️“

“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. 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪“

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

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

“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-🩷“

“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“

“Grab A Quick cup of Decentable of coffee“

“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?“

“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 ^__^“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best iced homemade chai!!“

“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!“

“perfect coffee. fun, pro staff. chill atmosphere.“

“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“

“I go here alot I order the same thing and request a extra shot of expresso. Same days I get what I asked for and some i don't. I love the employees that go the extra mile if it's not correct and also appreciate it. I have had 2 not so good encounters over all and was extremely disappointed. Most of the staff are wonderful. I hope they stay awhile. They make coming here worth it.. but like clock work the last 3 times i been here its like they go out their way to make my stuff. Wrong. I did not ask to have problems with some foods but its wrong ppl go out their way to try and make me sick“
