50 Best Coffee Shops near Mounds View

“I tried the new Eggs Benedict Sandwich and as a whole I really liked it but, in my own opinion (just my own opinion), the sauce on the sandwich could use a bit of review to make it closer to the hollandaise sauce. It wasn't as close to the actual thing as I was personally expecting but maybe there's reasons why. Definitely worth the try though 100%.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I couldn’t love this place more!!! Great atmosphere, meeting room, and a large “kid room” with comfy furniture, toys and books so your kids can play while you enjoy a coffee date with friends! Best of all is their support for addiction recovery. A fabulous coffee shop that gives back to the community! ❤️❤️❤️“

“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“

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

“Beautiful spot. I spent the afternoon studying here and it quickly became one of my favorites spots. The inside is minimalistic with brutalist and industrial inspiration. The space is extremely clean and well kept. There are numerous outlets under the seats which are relatively comfortable and wooden. The tables might be my only complaint as they are quite small.. but adequate for most things. They play numerous records which Is quite unique and cool. The menu is small but all the items I tried were great. The pumpkin latte was recommended to me and was perfect and not too sweet. The entrance is located adjacent to the street in a small alley. They have one small gender neutral bathroom. Staff are kind and knowledgeable. I did not see a drinking fountain. Overall great spot!“

“I've gone here twice now, and their coffee is amazing. I love the personality in the shop, and in the one employee I've seen so far. They sell delicious gluten free pastries and even plants, as well as sandwiches and waffles (which i haven't tried). I am blessed to have found this place and will continue to go. They don't have parking, unfortunately. You park on the street, which sometimes leaves you walking a few minutes.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pastries (possibly exclusively?)“

“They make a delicious latte!“

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

“Breakfast sandwich is fire. And the burrito is to die for. The beet Reuben is a fantastic veggie choice too. I'm in the neighborhood and I go here at least twice a week. Run, don't walk.

Vegetarian options: Beet Reuben is delicious“

“I almost want to gate keep this shop - that’s how much I love it. The warmest service! Everytime I’ve went they have provided me with kind, genuine recommendations and explainations. They have unique lattes such as one with beetroot powder and even one protein. I haven’t seen options at other spots. I feel like I need protein in every coffee I have going forward. I didn’t feel jittery at all like I normally do. Life changing experience for real! They have special made empanadas by Boludo too, which are incredible. Other pastries I’ve seen in the case come from RMY patisserie. It’s not the biggest shop, but I’m so glad they are here.“

“Amazing coffee and very cool vibe!“

“Fell in love with this coffee! We order twice a month now, no other coffee will do!“

“I looooveee this cafe!!! The staff are absolutely incredible and create the best experience! Special shoutout to Andrew and Zach for being so nice and welcoming! I love coming here and chilling out in their lobby. They have a tonnn of seating, but it still gets super busy and filled up! The only thing that I don't like is how busy this place is, but it makes sense given how great every aspect of it is!!! Super lovely vibes and the drinks are even better. There's a ton of options on their menu for you to choose from and if you have any questions, the staff is super helpful with accommodations! I love their apple cider and I wish they had it 24/7! Super delicious. They also have a ton of parking which is great because Minneapolis is known for being difficult with that. I absolutely love the vibes of this place and definitely will be coming back all the time.“

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

“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“

“The coffee here is amazing!
I am a cold coffee person even in the winter when I visit.
Hot cocoa is good if you can't handle cold coffee in winter.
Caribou Coffee is a must stop treat whenever I am in Minnesota!
Depending on the location service is different.
They also close very early.“

Vegetarian options: Could use additional vegetarian food options that are not bakery.

Parking: parking is pretty easy

“Grab A Quick cup of Decentable of coffee“

“😁Went here for the first time on Tuesday (4 March, 2025) for a training meeting with my new boss. Went a few hours early so I could get settled, and try the coffee and food. This is my new favorite coffee place!! The food is soooooooo good (I had the cheddar broccoli soup and the Turkey Pesto sandwich). Then I had a couple Cherry Italian Sodas, and before I left I grabbed a white cafe mocha with raspberry. OMG YUM! Not only is the food wonderful, the baristas are perfectly splendid!!!!! Shout out to Layla (sp?) for being super awesome. They made my whole day! I cannot wait to take my husband here on Sunday for our date day!“

“Such a cute cafe! Nice atmosphere. Fun to get the dumplings and a coffee. I had a cafe miel, vegetable dumplings and a doughnut. Good spot for a chat with a friend or to do some heads down work. I recommend parking on a side street vs. on central due to the traffic.
I particularly enjoyed the wall of notes and Polaroid pictures in the entry.“

“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 ^__^“

“My favorite Caribou location in the entire metro. The staff are excellent and friendly, and we haven't had any dairy contamination in years!

Vegetarian options: Allmost all the drinks are vegetarian but not vegan. Any drink with chocolate is not vegan. Very few of the sandwiches are vegetarian and none of them are vegan.

Dietary restrictions: All the drinks can be made with an alternative milk option for those with dairy allergies. However none of the chocolate is dairy free.

Cross contamination is very possible, but unlikely.

None of the sandwiches can be made dairy free.

Gluten free options are very limited. The bakery section in general is not Celiac or Dairy-allergy friendly.

Parking: Parking during peak hours is miserable and parking during high snowfall is worse.

The parking lot is well designed, it's just a very popular little strip mall.

Kid-friendliness: Relatively kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: No button, wheelchair users will need aid to get in the door.“

“The wait for the food is fine it's like 5 maybe 8 mins not to long

Kid-friendliness: Yes kids friend great for smoothies

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs can get there to it all around a good place“

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

“Always nice employees very helpful. Since parking is on the street you have to pay, but the service is so quick I can dash in and out without notice ?

Parking: I usually like to run in and out so I typically don't use the parking lot. I think I will start to use it more.“

“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!“

“Really great place! The service was excellent - they actually brought our drinks to our table rather than calling out our names. And the latte tasted really nice, super smooth with just enough milk. Huge space with lots of tables and chairs to spread out.“

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

“Nice staff. Fast service. Delicious food. Great place to grab coffee or breakfast or lunch. Big inside and tables outside if you have a meeting or need to study. Their caramelized almond latte is my favorite. I highly recommend stopping by!

Dietary restrictions: Two types of gluten free options for breakfast sandwiches.“

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

“The staff is very helpful and friendly! I’m always greeted with a smile! Today I even got a beverage recommendation and it was awesome!“

“I’m not always super impressed with the friendliness of the staff, but I do enjoy going to this coffee shop. The baked goods are tasty and unique (one of my recent faves was a rosemary chocolate chip muffin!). The coffee is great. The atmosphere is tight, but cozy and lively.“

“Best iced homemade chai!!“
