50 Best Coffee Shops near North St. Paul

“The wife introduced me to the dream loungers....this is a life changer for me.My only gripe and the reason I didn't rate 5 stars is the dreamloungers need the reclining button moved. When I am sitting in them I have to constantly make sure my hips aren't hitting the buttons. If the movie takes an exciting moment i always end up hitting the button and it is slightly annoying.“

“Luv Ice Cream is a fantastic shop to visit. Their ice cream is delicious! The owners are very welcoming and knowledgeable. We could have talked for hours! There are so many choices for vegan and keto conscious patrons. If you want wonderful sugar free options this is your store!“

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

“Super cute, great decor, lovely staff, 10/10 would go again“

“Great local coffee shop. Good coffee drinks and friendly staff!“

“Best hot chocolate I’ve ever had“

“Great service, really good food, and the drinks were my favorite part!“

“It’s the first time. Nice place. Good coffee. Friendly staffs 🥰“

“This is a really great spot for brunch with friends, the specialty coffees are very decedent!! Love the crepes also
-I prefer to go in the summer or spring because they do have additional outdoor street seating
( plan accordingly they do get extremely busy on the weekends!!“

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

“I went here for the first time today. The service was amazing, the coffee and food was great, and they have a cute little merchandise area. I will definitely be going again!“

“always great service. excellent coffee. yummy Pastries. Great customers. the more people in line waiting the more smiles you see.“

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“

“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.“

“This is my favorite caribou in all the franchises and may be my favorite cafe on grand avenue! And it’s all because of the wonderful staff at this location :) Everyone is kind and engaging, it feels like a community experience walking in, plus I get a great dark chocolate mocha and a bit of tasty breakfast.“

“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 really love this location but the young lady who was making my cooler got kinda snappy with the cashier because I wanted extra ice.
Golden blonde hair with pony tail and hair band 5’3 - 5’5 thin build caucasian
Female. Other than that perfect“

“Huge shoutout to Jerry at Caribou (4682 S Robert Trail in Inver Grove Heights, MN)! Their speaker isn’t working, so he is going the extra mile by standing out in the rain taking orders! AND…they recently started using a new system and he is doing great learning how to use it! We love you, Jerry! #staremployee“

“Best lattes ever!!!! Love the honey vanilla latte with cold foam ❤️❤️❤️“

“Awesome place, awesome people!“

“First time and it was delicious“

“Thank you for the birthday drink, Nicole 🎂 and for managing all of the orders coming in. I know mornings are busy and things can get lost in communication when handling so many orders and it was very refreshing to see her handle herself with grace when a customer wasn't happy with her coffee. She resolved it right away without questions asked, and communicated what Caribou has for creams and extracts, which the customer was unaware of or it was lost in communication/translation when ordering. Nicole, and ALL STAFF, work very hard to complete orders quickly and to make sure everyone is happy. Sometimes, guests are harder to please than others or they have other things going on, which spill over onto the staff. We can all be more aware, speak kindly to one another, and handle ourselves with grace, like Nicole did, when she was confronted with tones that no one would like to be communicated with. Thank you for making it right, relaxing, and realigning with who you are - thanks for not letting that ONE incident ruin your day and we can give that person grace, as they need it, too.“

“Love love, love how they make my London fog every morning. I don’t always get their trivia question right but I love answering those as well. The one Caribou by target is my favorite one even though it’s not a drive-through they have the best customer service. They also got the greatest table so my buddies go in there. We can all sit around the table there’s 10 of us and we talk about guy things. I like to go in the morning and network with business people“

“I tried to use my streak week rewards in the App and it stated that it could not reward it, so I went inside to see if it could be used at the counter and the gal was able to access it there and reward it to me. I kindly thanked her for that.“

“great coffee and good conversation with the barista. chocolate croissant was amazing. definitely will return when back in Saint Paul“

“I love this caribou location. They're always so friendly and do such a great job. I'll often call ahead to order a coffee canteen and it's always ready by the time I arrive. They are so accommodating and make sure I have everything I need. The space is also very nice to meet people or just relax for a bit.“

“Great spot for a quick cup of coffee, not a large store, only a few bench seats, but sits right next to a food court(town Square) with lots of tables and chairs. Probably not the best location for business meetings, but a great spot to grab some coffee.“

“Got the savory crepe and sweet crepe and they were so so good. Also had the Strawberry mango smoothie yummm!!“

“Alex and Jojo are an absolute delight! I came thru the drive thru just before closing time and someone was ahead of me ..ordered at least 5 drinks and they were still pleasant as could be and smiling. At the end of a long Sunday of Memorial weekend .that was amazing customer service!“

“Visited the Oakdale Caribou again after a not so great experience a couple of weeks ,(2-3 weeks) ago. Was happy to see the holiday flavors are available. This time the service was a bit better. 8n my last review I noted that the staff were not calling out customer names when food or beverage was ready. My name was said once and the staff I interacted with were very nice, they were at least calling out the food and beverage orders when they were ready. No names being called out. Hmm.... I do appreciate that the staff was very friendly. The iced cranberry dark chocolate crafted press was delicious. Thank you.“

“They remade the drink to correct size no issue

Vegetarian options: Eggs, muffins bagels cake , chocolate

Parking: Mendota Heights Minnesota, parking available on street or nearby lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: From car to entrance wheelchair access.“

“Ninas drinks are delicious. But I ordered a bagel and cream cheese last week. Im thinking the bagel was fresh or from a local bakery...it was from a bag like from a grocery store. Maybe Im fancy because I like my bagels to be fresh. But if you end up ordered a bagel just know its a regular bagel you can get from the grocery store. The cream cheese was also from a Philadelphia packet of cream cheese. So if youre looking for fresh bagels look some where else. Come here for the drinks.“

“I chose to order online and pick up at the drive thru. It’s always ready and delicious! This is meant to be a thumbs up post!!

The only minor “problem” would be that the bushes by the drive up window need trimming so cars don’t scrape them.“

“Most of the Baristas are nice but my favorite Barista is Jennifer. She used to work the night shift and I looked forward to seeing her every night when I come there for my coffee before I go to work. I miss her!!!! Can she please be on nights again or closing shift or whatever you call it? PLEASE!!!!! I miss her!!!!“

“Love the atmosphere, perfect for our ladies time on Sundays. A good variety of boba tea. I personally love the cappuccino.“

“Wonderful spot close to Mississippi Market in St. Paul. There is a beautiful small park (when weather permits) to sit outside. The building itself is old and very Swedish even though the history of Swede Hollow is long-past, lots of "hygge" inside (yes I know it's Danish but they did own the country, kinda). A few tables downstairs, one cozy one on the mezzanine, 6-7 upstairs and a neat "conference room" with a very comfy cozy reading armchair. Coffee really good (Americano, Cubano), great selection, had a studenty-feel, but we are close to MSU. The food looked very good. One of my new favourite "Third Places"“

“Love, love, love! best bubble tea I've ever had!“

“Best lattes ever!!!! Love the honey vanilla latte with cold foam ❤️❤️❤️“

“This was way back in January but wanted to make sure to give a very positive review. I was working outside on a bitterly cold day about a mile away and desperately needed an indoor break. I was guessing I would settle for a gas station but was thrilled when I found this Caribou on my map app. I spent a long time warming up with a delicious hot chocolate. So happy for the clean restroom. Fortified with my hot chocolate and a snack and time in the warmth I was ready for my last hour plus outside.“

“I love exploring cafes around the twin cities, so I was excited to check out this new spot!

There were plenty of parking lots nearby, or you could park on the street like I did. I only paid 75¢ for an hour. I came on a Monday morning and it was pretty busy. But I was lucky to grab a spot in this cozy corner and had a great time reading my book.

The strawberry matcha cloud was delicious! I definitely want to come again to try their specialty coffee and croffles 😋

Update: Visited again to try their croffles and fall themed drinks. I got the strawberry croffles and pumpkin spice latte. They were okay.“

“Starbucks located in Hyvee. Small but decent. Staff if decent. Normally not busy so it's easy to get in and get out.Like that you can get your favorite drinks and then go grocery shopping. Good location.Clean and fast service. Just a little ridiculous they charge $0.80 per syrup pump. Overall nice little treat“

“Met a friend for coffee. She ordered a mint hot chocolate. I'm usually a tea drinker(Caribou lattes are only coffee I like) so I ordered that too. The 1st sip made my taste buds sing for joy! Authentic chocolate syrup, delicious mint that's not too spicy or overpowering (like the other place😉) just perfect deliciousness to last drop!“

“I've always loved this place! Caribou is really my favorite coffee shop. The way they do business is so genuine and personal! Not to mention the coffee is AMAZING. 10/10 would recommend getting coffee here! Atmosphere is also great for doing homework and studying. Clean tables and bathroom, plus cozy chairs and a fireplace!“

“Staff were amazing! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Can’t wait for my next Cubano☕️ Thanks for a great experience!“

“We went to the cities to see Evanescence on the 20th of September and had layover time for the concert to start so my husband and I walked from the venue to Little Brazil. Unfortunately, we got absolutely drenched walking back to the show. Not only that, but we forgot our precious signed posters from the band at our table . The staff saved our posters and kept them safe until we made it back to get them the next day which we truly appreciated. They would have been destroyed by the weather otherwise. We were SO enamored with this gem of a place, it was WORTH the soaked clothes, chattering teeth and watching the rest of the concert soaked through! There is definitely something for everyone whether it be coffee, dessert, sandwiches. They also have a market of imported goods to try like chocolate, candies, snacks etc. Now whenever we are near the cities, it's going to be a must stop! 💖“

“The coconut cream bun has changed my life it is actually the best thing I’ve ever had and I wake up thinking about it a lot. I live 50 minutes away and have to drive out every few months just to grab some of them I highly recommend trying them“

“Great place to grab a bite to eat while in Lower Town. Very warm, inviting space, including games and Legos! The food was delicious and exactly as we ordered it. The staff was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back.“
