Love the vibe and the lattes (made with 1% milk). No sweeteners or syrups necessary.Been to 5-6 different coffee shops all over Minneapolis - St Paul and this one has the best latte for my tastes.

A super quaint and cozy coffee shop with delicious coffee. Furthermore, the employees were friendly and helpful and there was plenty of seating where I could enjoy my coffee and have a conversation with a friend! I will definitely be back!

Cozy cafe, window to 7th St is great for people watching. Unfortunately, weak latte and customer service. (zero TYs given) I'm hoping today's service was a one-off situation.

I was feeling adventurous so I ordered the Bluebeards Ghost and It was glorious! Slightly salty, a little spicy, and the Vanilla brought a subtle sweetness. I ordered it a second time and added sugar and totally ruined my drink, don't be like me ?Kid-friendliness: My daughter always gets a vanilla steamer when we come here. It makes her feel like a big girl which is pretty cute.

Loved this coffee shop theme and vibe! Everything was Irish themed from the cute knicknacks and drink names to the stained glass windows. I love how they had Irish blessings everywhere! I personally tried the dirty Seamus which is a dirty chai. Super tasty on a cold day.

One of my favorite St Paul coffee spots, specifically for the ambiance and feel inside. The coffee seems great but the experience both on the main floor and downstairs is very comfy and welcoming. Parking can be a bit tough since W 7th street is busy and there are other shops close by (Day by Day for example, which is an excellent brunch spot!!) which create traffic. But even if you have to walk a block or so its absolutely worth coming to

Excellent little Coffee House. The signature Claddagh Coffee is a great tasting cup of coffee. Plain scone with lemon curd outstanding. Atmosphere super Great.
Stopped in for coffee mid-bike ride and got one of their seasonal specials (iced coffee + lemonade + mint?! Refreshing and delicious). Place was packed, took a while but happy to wait in such a cute space.

Great coffee shop to sit and read or catch up with a friend. Lots of tables, inside, outside, and in their basement! Quick service, yummy coffee, with lots of unique flavor options. Bathroom was also clean, though it should be noted it’s in the basement down a flight of stairs. Parking was reasonably easy in the neighborhood area directly around the coffee shop.

I recently had my first experience at Claddagh A Wee Coffee Shop, and I must say it left much to be desired. From the moment I walked in, I was met with cold faces from the servers. There was no warm welcome or even a simple greeting, which immediately set a negative tone for my visit.
One of the most basic expectations in a coffee shop is that you are informed when your coffee is ready. Unfortunately, this fundamental service was lacking at Claddagh A Wee Shop. I found myself waiting for my coffee without any indication of when it would be ready. It's a simple courtesy that should be extended to every customer, and it was disappointing to see it overlooked here.
Aside from these issues, I can't ignore the overall lack of hospitality and friendliness from the staff. A welcoming and pleasant atmosphere is crucial for any dining establishment, especially one that serves something as universally enjoyed as coffee. The absence of this warmth made my visit far from enjoyable.
In summary, while the coffee itself may be good, the lack of basic customer service and the unwelcoming atmosphere overshadowed any positive aspects. I hope that the management takes these concerns into consideration and works towards creating a more inviting and customer-oriented environment for future patrons.

Delicious, cute, not a ton of space to sit, but perfect for grabbing coffee after my morning run

Amazing service and food! I ordered a salted caramel latte and it was perfect, complete with a beautiful foam design. The oats were 10/10 as well
