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.“

“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!“

“Always great friendly staff!!“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place deserves it. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming, the space is clean, and the energy just feels right. The coffee is consistently top tier smooth, rich, and made with care every single time.

But what really makes this spot special is the people behind it. My brother Mohamed is one of the hardest working, genuine individuals you’ll ever meet. He puts real passion into everything he does, and you can feel that in the service and attention to detail here.

Whether you’re stopping by for a quick coffee, getting work done, or just hanging out, this place delivers every time. It’s more than just a coffee shop. it’s a community spot.“

“this company is anti-law and order. personally, I don't need a latte, while I'm watching the local Somalia men gangbang some guys underage daughter. what a sick Place Minneapolis is. you let the weaklings bully you. you could have just ignored then, but instead you put the sign up like the little baby you are“

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

“If this place served nothing but the breakfast sandwich, it would still be one of my favorite joints in the cities. Every ingredient is perfect, and lovingly crafted into one of the tastiest, heartiest breakfasts you've ever held in your hand. Add to that some great service and friendly atmosphere and you've got a place worth coming back to any chance you get. Also a big fan of their snickerdoodles and the Reuben sandwich - I'm told the vegetarian Reuben (with smoked beets instead of corned beef) is good if you're into that kind of thing.“

“My favorite coffee shop in town. Lovely baristas who know my order before I even get to the counter. My child is always so excited to go there on the weekends. Plus, their dedication to kindness, justice, and inclusiveness in our community is inspiring.“

“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-🩷“

“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 ^__^“

“Excellent service and staff! Highly recommend. Friendly service and excellent food. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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“

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

“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 ✨“

“This has become my new go-to for coffee in Minneapolis! The cold brew is always solid and delicious and the seasonal lattes are always a nice treat. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming and it’s just an amazing coffee shop to have in the neighborhood.“

“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“

“I had a caramel latte hot, and I loved how authentic and good it tasted. It didn’t taste completely sugared up and the artwork on it was cute and reminded me of my husband.
My husband got some type of coffee. I don’t remember what it was but he said it was really good. The vibe was so nice and calm. It’s a little annoying to find, but eventually we found it.“

“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!“

“The atmosphere is one of the best for a coffee shop. Plus there are plugs everywhere if looking to work. It smells great. The drinks are amazing. The customer service is outstanding and very friendly. Try the pistachio latte or Dubai chocolate cheesecake!“

“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 customer service is outstanding! We appreciate that they acknowledge and recognize us when we walk in. The pastries are amazing. Chocolate donuts, almond croissants, cinnamon rolls, butter croissants are all delicious! In nice weather we are able to walk there. In the cold snowy weather parking can be an issue, but we always manage. I had 1 issue with my coffee once and the staff person quickly fixed it and was very kind and helpful, as they always are! Since we are typically there in the morning, I have not tried the dumplings yet, but I imagine they are also very good.“

“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!“

“Amazing drinks! Beautiful space“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great coffee shop for working. There are lots of tables with outlets. I went on a Sunday. There was a handful of students working at other tables but it didn't feel crowded nor loud. I thought the batista was patient and kind. Parking was the main negative. Not a lot of free parking nearby which makes the $7 coffee even more hilariously out of budget.“

“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.“

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

“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 👌“

“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.“

“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“

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