16 Best Coffee Shops near North Mankato

“First time I came here, the worker was very friendly and gave their recommendations, which turned out to taste really good. I’ve been back a few times since and the other workers are just as friendly. It’s a nice place to study and the lattes are good (on the sweeter side if that’s what you’re looking for)“

“A long time favorite local coffee shop. Have been going for many years. LQBTQA safe space and gay female owned. Welcoming to everyone and a place that feels like home. Friendly staff. Delicious baked goods. The food and some of the coffee drinks are not as consistent and as good as they used to be, but still better than a lot of coffee shops. I miss the old staff; I feel like after they remodeled at one point all of the long loved staff I was used to seeing left but people move on I guess. Still a lovely and friendly staff“

“Best and most unique ice cream shop in town, although I don't discriminate when it comes to ice cream and will eat it from almost anywhere-- Mom and Pop's is my favorite if I can make it there! I can (and have) go multiple times a week and not get sick of it. Also, the servers are always nice and just cool people.“

“One of the best nutrition clubs I’ve been too. Amazing people and environment! Very flexible with any suggestions and combinations! I have a few unique recipes I like to make at different clubs where some have turned me away and Mad Ave is more than happy to make it for me! Overall great place and love coming here!!“

“We had a very tasty lunch and then spent a good deal of time with the owner smelling her large collection of tea leaves. We ended up with about a half dozen to take home with us to the east coast, and look forward to coming back to restock in the future.“

“Stopped in for a 1st time visit. Barista was super friendly and helpful. I've worked at a coffee shop before, lattes were amazing and latte art was beautiful. We shared a cookie which was unique and tasty. Love house made syrups! Will be back.“

“asked my friend if they wanted a bagel. they said "no." I filled up with "I was thinking of making a tandem run." they lit up and said "oh! tandem?! I love tandem bagels!" so we ordered our bagels on-line and the only reason I had to wait was because I was early for our pickup time. we ❤️ tandem bagels!“

“My daughter and I went there for the first time, and we were blown away with everything from the beautiful decorations on the inside to the very friendly customer service and the easy to follow touchscreen kiosk. Everybody should check it out ! They got tea and donuts that taste like cereal It’s pretty wild. Will definitely be coming back.“

“Very convenient location with easy access. Parking lot is a bit small if you are looking to dine on patio so be aware of that. Drive-thru is efficient. Excellent coffee and the breakfast is the perfect portion! Great place and staff were very welcoming and friendly!“

“great drinks, great food, above and beyond service- came here with some friends and once i got home (after close) i realized i lost a ring which was incredibly sentimental to me. i called and despite being closed the wonderful person working answered & did a look around, didn’t find it, however he called me back a few minutes later saying he found it after digging through the trash looking for it, and let me come back to grab it despite being closed. this means more to me than he’ll ever know and the drinks were so good too. even aside from this the service was amazing 20 million/10 recommend paying this place a visit! thank you so much again to the person who found it if you’re reading this just know you’re an angel ?“

“One of the best local coffee shops you will ever find. The service is fast the crowd feels like family, there are lots of places to lounge in a soft chair or spread out for work or a study session. Their late night options are a rare find as well and if you watch the calendar you may get to enjoy some live music. On top of all of this they bake their own treats and have some amazing breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Come downtown and check it out for yourself.“

“I have had absolutely amazing customer service they are very helpful and always greet me very time I walk insideDietary restrictions: They have coffees for people who are allergic to milk and smoothiesKid-friendliness: The experience most people have when they have kids they are very kind and caring and even when they are very busy they always acknowledge anyone“

“I had been to a couple Scooters coffee locations while traveling and always loved them. Super excited to have one in Mankato. Only coffee shop where you can get the malted milk mocha and actually tastes like malt powder. They have a really good menu and food doesn't taste like microwaved gas station food like it does at some of the bigger chain coffee chains. This location had really friendly staff and service was quick.“

“"DUNKIN' DONUTS" has been our "GO-TO PLACE" for great pastries, croissant breakfast,(or anytime!) sandwiches, filled croissants, avocado guacamole spread on toast w/w/o bacon bits (yum), top of the line coffee, tea, mixed varieties and blends, juices, (my favorite is frozen blended Chai tea w/ a pump of Mocha Chocolate infused with whipped cream!), many new and unique donuts and discounted donut dozens before they close for the day.However,how could I forget "PUP CUPS" for the dog, who just happens to be along for the ride? Just the right amount of whipped cream in a small cup, designed especially for your tongue-lickin' canine companion. "DUNKIN" also displays photos of their "doggy". friends enjoying their treat In the outside window of their drive through!THERE ARE 2 OTHER THINGS THAT I GREATLY APPRECIATE ABOUT "DUNKIN'", WHICH. PERHAPS I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED BEFOREHAND: THEIR SUPPORT OF CHARITIES FOR KIDS, AND ANIMALS' PET SHELTERS FROM THE. "ROUNDED-UP" PAYMENTS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS, THEY ALSO GIVE SUPPORT THROUGH THE SALE OF THEIR PRODUCTSSUCH AS MUGS, AND A "SPECIAL LINE" OF "DUNKIN" PET TOYS,( SOFT, CHEWY,AND LOVEABLE).Last, but certainly not least, "DUNKIN'" offers a points rewards program as a "Thank you" for their customers' loyalty to their edibles, drinkables, and support of other charitable causes. "DUNKIN' COVERS ALL THE BASES, SO TO SPEAK, AND IT SHOWS!Kid-friendliness: Kids+dogs+love+great products+great service, inside or outside, says it all! Even though I haven't been inside much,(especially during and after most COVID restrictions were lifted), beforehand the eating area had ample space for people,tables, chairs, and a pick-up window for previously placed orders. Everything was clean, welcoming, been“

“This is by far my favorite DD location. The food is always hot, fresh and delicious. I have even asked for my bacon crispy on my sandwich and they will do it without even blinking.The staff is super friendly and helpful...if they don't have something, they will HELP YOU with your needs instead of saying NO.“

“I have been to this location 2 times and another location once and I would say they are both good! I have gotten the strawberry smoothie, the wild berry smoothie, and the Iced Carmelicious. They are all good drinks! I've also gotten the everything bagel sandwich which came out in good time and was hot. The staff was nice and answered my questions and the wait time was fast. I recommend going if you want to try something other than Starbucks or Dunkin (which are still good). The prices are about the same as going to Starbucks, so no difference there.“
