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!“

“Best hot chocolate I’ve ever had“

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

“Came here for brunch and we enjoyed our food! My friends and I got a Nutella crepe, turkey / cheese crepe, and a chicken sandwich. I loved how the cafe had indoor and outdoor seating options! Interior is very cute and could be great for studying or catching up with a friend! We enjoyed our meal and appreciate the wide variety menu they have. One thing I will note is that the sides were a bit overpriced in my opinion, being $5 for a side of potatoes.“

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

“One of the best and most unique cafes to visit on long wintery days in Minnesota. It gives you that Dubai vibe, and a great place you should check out.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“I had one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had in a long time thanks to Kisha and Gabe. From the moment I walked in, they were genuinely kind, welcoming, and so easy to talk to. Their positive energy and wonderful conversation completely turned my day around.

As a nurse during Nurses Week, I had been feeling a little discouraged after being turned away by several businesses despite all the promotions being advertised. What meant the most was that before I even asked about any promotion, Kisha and Gabe treated me with kindness and respect. Their compassion and attitude made me feel appreciated in a way that truly stood out.

Thank you both for making my day — and honestly my whole week — so much better. The energy you bring is refreshing, and it’s clear you care about the people who walk through the door. I sincerely hope your boss sees this because employees like you deserve recognition (and a raise!).“

“I have been to this Caribou multiple times and I usually get a double toasted bagel with Garden veggie cream cheese. 9 times out of 10 they give me plain cream cheese or they give me honey walnut. Fun fact,one of my weaknesses is I am allergic to walnuts. It would be real nice if they didn't give me poison when I go to their store.“

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“

“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“

“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!“

“There are about five Caribou locations in my community of Woodbury and we always choose to go to this location because of the outstanding customer service! The drinks are always delicious and perfectly made and the atmosphere is so welcoming and fun thanks to Adam and Nicole! I look forward to being greeted every day by their smiles! The whole experience is made so happy because of their attention to detail, professionalism, and happy attitude! Great coffee but even greater people is why we always choose this Caribou-congratulations to Adam and Nicole for creating such a fabulous experience for everyone!“

“First time and it was delicious“

“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.“

“Awesome place, awesome people!“

“I had my favorite drink made from a different Caribou, the one in Maplewood, and they made it wrong 😭 it was terrible!!! I live in Woodbury so I came into this location and Lizette remade it for me and didn’t charge me for it
I think this is the best Caribou location in the cities the only bummer is there isn’t a drive thru but the team here rocks ! Thanks Lizette 💕 and Jenna“

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

“Visited Sunday morning since I wouldn’t have to pay for street parking. I had no problem ordering on the kiosk, although you can also order in person. I ordered the purple lava specialty Vietnamese coffee, which was a delicious twist on a classic favorite. I also had the Banh Mi Ni, which was decent and very filling. I visited early morning and I didn’t have to wait for long for my order and there was space for me to chill and enjoy my food while getting some work done. The WiFi was readily accessible and the space was very clean.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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! 💖“

“Edit: they quickly responded to this review. Sounds like they plan to fix the problem so I updated to 4 stars. Hopefully, if I’m back it will be cleaner.

Good coffee and food but it’s a very dirty lobby. Not just normal dirty from a busy day. It was dusty and areas of the lobby looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a long time! Table legs were very dirty. Chair bases were even dusty (that doesn’t happen overnight). Sounds like they plan to fix this issue! Thanks for your quick response. I’ve been concerned that larger coffee shop chains are moving away from the in store experience. Hopefully corporate still wants to see the in store experiences of customers be positive and inviting spaces.“

“I stopped in for an afternoon pick-me-up, prepping for a continuation of a really long day at work. The ham and gouda egg bite was delightful, and my breve did the trick l. I made it through the day. The food and drink were great and prepared quickly. Staff was very nice.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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"“

“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“

“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!!!!“

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

“I bought a donut for myself and all my children's teachers and they were AMAZING!!! Thank you!“

“The best coffee and lovely space!“
