“I come here often for study sessions and homework time. I'm one of those people that needs background noise and activity to get anything done and home is full of distractions with a lack of space. Baristas are consistently pleasant and helpful. This location is kept immaculate. Bathrooms, tables, floors, etc. are all promptly and consistently attended to. Never see the employees acting unprofessional and they stay busy. Close to close time they never push you out or make you feel like you are holding them up. They consistently respect your space when cleaning.“
“I've had a great experience with this location. As managers have changed over the years, the store has continuously been solid with only a few minor bumps. Their drinks are consistent and the staff has always been friendly to me. I hope they continue to entice and hire good people. My go to drink from here is a half-dark chocolate mocha and it's usually on point. Great spot right off the freeway. I wish there was more outdoor seating but it's tough at this spot. Also please fix the order pickup signs so there are a few spots for quick pickups. Thanks!“

“We are so lucky to have this beautiful place in Uptown. The hummus is entirely magical. And the food is delicious. We can’t wait to try it all!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a clear ramp on the side of the building giving easy access to the building“
“Seriously such an adorable little place, and the cinnamon rolls are HUGE and so fluffy and caramelized and delightful! I'm so glad it's so close to my work so I can pop in once in awhile. Plus, the two guys working there were personable and made me and my friend a great mix between their raspberry tea and a kombucha.“
“I feel so blessed to have this gem of a coffee shop in my neighborhood! The Pork Cutie is one of my favorite sandwiches on earth, I'm deadly serious. They're always playing great music, the staff is friendly, and every detail is intentional and unique - what more could you ask for?“
“Heather's in Minneapolis is a favorite. It's that neighborhood joint everyone wants with great burgers, sandwiches, and salads, a great kids menu and twisty soft serve or cookies to keep the wee beings happy. But also that cozy date night spot with amazing daily specials and lovely grown up desserts on the patio.In practice, we usually order delivery (via Toast) and there's always a little tension between a dinner order (because THOSE SPECIALS!) or weekend brunch. We were able to do both today because they offered their daily special as part of their holiday brunch menu: lemon blueberry pancakes AND the ham special with asparagus and cheesy potatoes were both just amazing. ?Ordered pastries for week day breakfasts while I was at it but the delivery person missed the second bag or something. They made it right immediately - barely hung up the phone before the doorbell rang and a smiling, kind Heather's staffer was on my porch with a bag full of goodies. They just do EVERYTHING right.“
“Stopped in to Cosmic Coffee the other morning on a whim, and believe I just may have found my new favorite coffee shop in NE. Cosmic Coffee feels like an old school coffee shop, the ones that were about people connecting with people. Actual real live PEOPLE!!! Not only was the coffee delicious- expertly prepared by Dusty-but it was so refreshing to be around people laughing, conversing and connecting not just working away on laptops. If you want a great cup of coffee in a cozy, warm space of brick, wood and eclectic decor that does not feel like a sterile white hipster tech haven, please please give Cosmic a visit! And I recommend a lavender mocha!!“
“First time going and I received the wrong sandwich. I asked twice what it was but I couldn’t remember everything in the sandwich I actually ordered so it’s on me for not getting the correct one. All in all, food was good and so was the coffee. Fast service, good food, and friendly faces made the experience worth going back again!“
“This was by far the best coffee shop experience I have ever had. I'm not much of a coffee drinker. The staff was patient and fantastic at their recommendation. It was so delicious I had to go back every day while I was visiting. The space was quite comfortable to sit and chat with my friend. Highly recommend the Busy Beaver - tastes like a graham cracker.Dietary restrictions: Lactose intolerance“
“I went to Cream and Amber for the first time this weekend and I was impressed the reviews did not oversell the experience.A friend recommended I check out this cute reading café, so I gave it a shot. What I found was a lovely space with an even more welcoming staff. It was clear the people running the show are the same people who could want to spend their time there.It is a cozy space with appropriately lively energy - many familiar greetings and warm conversations to provide a comfortable background for reading. ♥“
“I’m unable to get in very often, but when I do, everyone is always friendly, :-), very kind, courteous, and the clientele that come in are also very friendly and it’s a calming place even if it’s just there to pick coffee up and leave. Great staff.“
“We got takeout on our way home, and stumbled across Pizza Novara on Google Maps. I’m so glad we did, because the Novara Deluxe was the best pizza I’ve had in a long time. My fiancé was mad I ate a couple slices in the car on the way home, and we jokingly fought over who gets more of the leftovers this morning. We’re debating going back when they open today for another pizza. 10/10“
“Lovely space to spend the morning with family! The man who runs the place was so friendly and welcoming, really taking time to engage with each costumer (and the kids!)My 4 year old was in the boarder of being too old for the play place, but my two year old loved it! Definitely will be going back. The cakes and breads are delicious!“
“Love this place. Great spaces to sit or work, busy (people talking and engaging) but not crazy. Very community-spirited and great service. Coffee and food selection was wonderful. Would love to try in the summer when the place is more open and dog-friendly too.“
“ordered online on way there last minute on drive from out of town to a destination far away ?⛄ sure beats fast food quality a little more expensive expected because vegetarian/vegan but it was really good food okay? that's how I'm justifying it,and i wanna support places like this with quality customers the kind you want to hug because they're so nice and friendly. oh on the phone the girl i was talking to was very knowledgeable about the menu with great suggestions for my and my friend on a trip ya know how girls take awhile to decide sometimes? well this worked great ??? was able to get order in before we even got there and was practically no wait because of our good timing 30min away when picking up our order the restaurant wasn't cram packed so you could still get a table but was definitely full of hungry people in the know about the quality veggiefoods and the atmosphere was nice people like a bar ? where they know your name and share their stories over a delicious ?? ? snack (cheers) anyways I'll have to return soon before they run out of my favorite ?❤️Vegetarian options: they have burgers fries salads Tacos a whole lot more with fun namesDietary restrictions: okay so they're really good at vegan options and dietary restriction just ask or let em know and they'll have a yummy solution for your hunger ❤️Parking: spots were loaded but i still found a space for a shortstop and then opened it back up in 15m or less just grabbed my food and went but i know parking ?️ within walking distance was there i just wanted to be as close as possible since was picking up only... probably 3 ? pickup drop off spots front side and then parking around back or sidesteet people being polite to leave the closest ones for the people being there the shortest time is really nice ?? and everyone staying longer to really enjoy taking a "brutally mild"? walk to the door from the better parking in back ? some have a hard time going as far as the mailbox is what i mean but anyways yes there's parking“

“I took my family to Kruse Market for brunch. What a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is amazing along with the owner and the staff. The quiche was amazing along with the salad. My grandson had the yogurt granola which was great. The coffee was awesome. I highly recommend this place for brunch or any meal. Can't wait to come back!“
“Fawkes Alley is a delightful coffee shop. My favorite drink is the Lab Latte--iced lavender latte with honey cold foam. The two young men who work Saturdays are incredibly friendly and personable. My go-to weekend coffee spot before or after a walk through Loring Park :)“
“Cool coffee shop. Huge seating area with plenty of comfy chairs and couches to enjoy your food or coffee. Old fashion style donut was really good, highly recommend. Cold brew was solid as well. Baristas were friendly and service was very fast. Definitely recommend this place for a good spot to read, study, work, whatever you need. There is no parking available and you’ll need to find street parking if visiting.“
“Anyone who knows me well knows that I am obsessed with The Fox & Pantry. The owner, Kym, & staff are wonderful and the food & drinks they make are crafted beautifully and the best in town! From the delicious coffee to the incredible pastries & sandwiches, you will not be disappointed with anything you order! They also are hosts to events & birthday gatherings, which I've been lucky enough to attend & the atmosphere is so charming and fun! 10/10 would recommend!“
“My new home away from home! This cafe is so warm and welcoming, the atmosphere here is a true vibe. Hafsa gave me and my friend a great tour of the event center and kids playroom “which is a major plus for us mothers”. My food and chai tea were amazing.It’s a good vibe for the Islamic community or anyone else looking for a nice chill spot“
“What a gem! The coffee is great and the record selection is unbelievable. I found two holy grail records for very fair prices for how good they sound, plus a lot of other great stuff. The barista was friendly and helpful, guiding me in choosing a delicious latte. The Satanic theme is great, just enough to freak out the normal folk.Parking: Plenty of spaces within a block.“
“Such good ice cream. It made my mouth orgasm. It was awkward because everyone around me was wondering why I was moaning so much while eating my ice dream. Then I sneezed and shot ice cream out my nose. That is how you orgasm out of your face.“
“I stopped by last Saturday, and I got a scone and a Cranes in the Sky iced coffee, and the combination was AMAZING! The prices were very reasonable for the hand-crafted beverage and pastry! I also loved the ambiance of the coffee shop, the outdoor patio, and the clothing selection! I will definitely come back!“
“My boyfriend and I decided to check out a new coffee shop, and we came across Cuppa Java on Google Maps. When we first entered the building, I immediately loved the vibe, and there are many cozy corners with plenty of outfits to get some work done. The employees were extremely friendly, and I ordered and ate one of the best bagels I've ever had.There is a gender neutral bathroom with ADA accessibility which I highly appreciated.I will definitely be coming back!“
“This place is so cute. I love the ambience.We got taro, matcha, and strawberry mochi donuts and they were delicious and so soft - even after a few hours of ordering! We really wanted to try the boba plush surprise, but couldn’t justify $10 on it.Next time I will try their boba, but I would continue to order the donuts.“
“Wildflyer is a shop with a vision - "to end youth homelessness". The shop is nice, they teach skills beyond just making coffee, the coffee and snacks are really good. Living out of that neighborhood, I hadn't found the ship before, but now that I have, I'll be back often.“

“Pretty good spot for coffee in the North Loop! The space here is very beautiful, it's huge and nicely decorated. I really liked the ambiance and it seems like a great place to work or meet up with friends. The coffee is pretty decent, and they have cool merch on display. The pastry I tried had a great flavor, but it was very dry --- I think they might benefit from having a door on the back of the pastry case. Overall, I think this place is pretty good and worth checking out if you are in the North Loop.“

“We’re no stranger to Cardigan. They catered 200 DELICIOUS donuts for our wedding! These guys are the real deal.Amazing donut delivery service! Ordering system is fantastic - you can pick flavors to gift or have them select (or a combo!) I’ve sent them as little surprise gifts to so many people over the years - just to perk up someone’s day. You can include a free message. I hope they never change and I wish them many years of continued success!“
“Ok what a cool little coffee shop in NE. It’s a very minimalist concept but the vibes were ?. I’m normally a big light person and it got a bit dark in here in the afternoon, but it was fitting for the atmosphere of this place so I didn’t mind too much. The music is played from records so the barista was changing out the albums the whole time.My matcha was really good. It came to like $9 so not super cheap, but I do enjoy a good homemade drink :)Metered street parking around unless you walk across the bridge for the free parking in the neighborhood.“
“The tea was amazing, it was very nice to have tea with my parents and have a conversation. The prices were a bit high for tea, but I think the overall experience of it and quality of tea is definitely worth it if you enjoy tea. The Ambiance was okay, I did go during a weekend so it was busy. Highly recommend going during a weekday if you want a little more less chaos, peace, and quiet. I will say the customer service was okay too, I'm definitely NOT a tea expert and it was my first time here, so I wasn't sure what to order or how to. When I told the employee about this, they didn't really help me understand how their tea system/menu works and what tea is best for certain situations or taste and health benefits. So we were kinda just forced to guess on one and hope it was good, which luckily it was.“
“This coffee is some of the best in Minneapolis, and the croissants are to DIE for. The atmosphere is so cool-- skater merch, art everywhere, just excellent!! The staff is also very nice and the service is great. I love this place so much <3“
“Love what this place is all about: bringing people together with soccer and coffee (two of my favorite things). I try to make it in for evening pickup soccer about once a week. Love that there are late night sessions after my kids are in bed and that I can cool down with a cold local beer.I also pop in for coffee regularly and love the atmosphere (soccer on TV, groups of students working, families in together, etc).Also, my 3 year old LOVES the free kids open play. I only wish there was a session on the weekends since he's usually in daycare on Monday mornings.“
“I love this cute little local shop. The coffee isn’t too bad (i’m picky) and they have a lot of syrup options to fully customize any drink.Since i’m picky with coffee I mainly get a the strawberry smoothie now and a little breakfast pastry.the customer service is always awesome! they are so nice, i love it. i enjoy studying here, but i do wish they were open later. i love studying with a little coffee treat after being in lecture all day and this is the best place, i wish i could do it here. but they close at 4.Wheelchair accessibility: tight fit through the front so I wouldn’t fully recommend.“
“I'm so glad I found this gem! I really enjoy trying new teas and this is the perfect place to do it! The menu lists their matcha from most approachable to more challenging. The matcha options at the top tend to be really creamy (without any milk, it's just water and matcha!), and further down the list they tend to get grassier and more bitter. There are also black, green, oolong, pu'er, and herbal teas that you can get in a gongfu set. It's nice to just take 60-90 minutes re-steeping the tea and relaxing in the beautiful tea house.They have some snacks like mochi and pastries, but unfortunately I don't think any were vegan. I hope they add some vegan options so I can snack while sipping tea.Dietary restrictions: They do not add milk to their matcha, so it's great for vegans! Unfortunately, I don't think there are any vegan snacks in the bakery case.Parking: There is cheap street parking nearby. There are free streets if you're up for more of a walk.Kid-friendliness: This place has a quiet atmosphere, so I would not recommend you bring children.“
“Dan the owner is Dan the man.Personally place key West in my top 5 coffee spots in Minneapolis, and second for sandwiches only beaten out by my nostalgic love for caffreys sandwiches.Great place to stop if you are nearby and need food or coffee. Definitely also would recommend going out of the way to stop in as well.“
“There is not a month that goes by where I don't go here at least once. This is by far the freshest, most generous, and adorable poke place I have found here in the twin cities so far. The bowls are hefty but refreshing. The fish is glistening, their produce freshly cut. And of course, the women I see working there remember the folks who come in! And their orders! What a great spot“
“Cute little coffee shop! My matcha latte was so smooth. I had it with homemade vanilla. I love when places use homemade syrups. We stayed and worked on our laptops for awhile and felt welcome the whole time.Free WiFi, enough tables and outlets for working on things, games people can play, street parking, and friendly service. It’s also right across from Patina so you can do some shopping afterwards :)“
“I stoppped by with my kids and husband for coffee. The coffee was good, the doughnut iced with brown butter frosting was amazing! The vibe was really friendly. There were multiple families as well as an area mostly filled with solo people working. Dogs welcome. We hope to return next time we are in the area.“
“Sebastian Joes has been a favorite of my family and friends for years! All their ice cream is excellent, but the best of all is their oreo flavor. Nothing will ever compare. My husband and I chose to serve Sebastian Joe's ice cream for dessert at our wedding, which added to the many great experiences we've had with this amazing local business.“
“Matchbox is great! Good price on quality drinks and down to earth place with personality! The barista I met, Lauren, is very pleasant and makes great drinks!! For sure Matchbox is worth my bike ride from South Minneapolis. I highly recommend it!“
“Such an amazing coffee shop! I will have to say their Coffee Flight is a bit pricier compared to other places I have had but is very delicious!! They give you an option if you would like your Coffee Flight Hot or Iced. I chose hot and they also ask what type of milk would you like in your coffee flight with the options of Oat milk, Whole milk, and skim milk, which is very nice! Lots of seating and they also have a brewery attached to the coffee shop with a lot of seating as well that you can sit at as well! The workers are very nice and polite!! Very clean coffee shop and so many cute little goodies such as candles, stickers and other Minnesota themed goods. The coffee tastes very high quality and loved each of the flavors that they offered in the coffee flight also I really love how beautifully decorated they are as well as the board that it comes with! So cute!! Will definitely come here again in the future!“
“Best Pastry shop I have tried so far in the Twin Cities!Very good quality pastries and being an amateur of french pastries, I can tell that whoever is behind this (both the chef and the cooks) know their craft.A big shout out for the cannelés !!! They taste as though made right from Bordeaux. It has been so many years since I was able to have such delicious cannelés.This place is a gem, it's not easy to find such a pasty shop in the US. I highly recommend it.“
“I was craving a shake but most Herbalife shops close at 2pm. I saw this one listed it was open until 3pm so I drove way out of my way to try it out. On their door it also listed open until 3pm, but at 2:20pm it was closed. Super disappointed!Edit: Came back the next morning. The staff was very friendly and the shakes were great.“
“Absolutely love FRGMNT coffee! I come here as often as I can! I have the frequent buyer punch card and if you love coffee, I recommend asking for the punch card as well!My two favorite items are the espresso with tonic water and the cold coffee with little ice.When you stay to enjoy your beverages and baked items, there’s a large communal work space you can chat or work.Be careful when walking and watch your step! Some visitors have tripped on the small step near the front door.Parking: There are specific parking spots along the front left of the building. If full, there’s usually plenty of parking in the mail lot.“
“Amazing, amazing coffee. If you're a miel lover, it's a routine must-try. Friendly staff, mask-conscious place with great environment. Only ask would be for more routinely available gluten-free bakery options-- listed on menu but haven't been in stock when I've been lately (thought Atuvava is close by). Overall a favorite, highly recommended coffee shop.“
“Perfect spot to have a breather in a cozy and less noisy atmosphere while on a Mall of America outing. The lattes and ice teas were good. The spacious, civilized setting inside is a respite from the bustle and waves of commercialism waiting outside. Capital One card gets you 50% off on beverage purchases.“
“The last two words "Coffee gallery" perfectly describes the coffee shop! It's cool seeing the different kinds of art work, also two huge plusses are there's plenty of tables and there's a parking lot!! For the amount of people that were there it wasn't super loud either! Will for sure be coming back again!“
“This cafe has undoubtedly struck the right chord with their inviting ambiance, tasty coffee, and a team of friendly baristas. Their spacious setting is perfect for both social gatherings and head down working time. Morning hours might get really crowded, but that’s great for the business. Their cup of cortado and a chocolate pistachio croissant were excellent. I will be coming back!“
“I adopted my cat from Cafe Meow a few weeks ago and absolutely love coming in to hangout with the kitties. The staff treats them very well and is always very kind. I’m very thankful to have met Rocky and to have him apart of my little family now. My other cat Soot has been loving the company of another since my other cat passed a few months ago. Soot seems so much happier and I’m very happy to have gone through the adoption process through the cafe/the adoption agencies they work with. What they do for the cats is amazing. ☺️“
“Inside the grocery store and not signed really great from the outside but there are two big perks. Friendly staff and lots of outdoor seating if that’s your vibe like it is mine. Loved the white chocolate espresso shaker.Parking: Park in the grocery store lot and go in the main door. Caribou is on your right after you get inside.“
