50 Best Coffee Shops in Saint Paul

“Great coffee and atmosphere.“

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

“Only been here twice so far. Absolutely loved the biscuit egg, sausage sandwich. Absolutely loved the breakfast burrito. Great flavor in both. Great conversation with the owner. The burrito looked small but picking it up, it was heavy!! Great flavor, I'm thinking the beans were well seasoned. Didn't get the chorizo spicy flavor, but that's ok. I could see the meat in the wrap. They know how to make a killer biscuit. It was light, fluffy, and very flavorful. I hear their Cuban is supposed to be good, probably what I will try next.“

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

“We were visiting from St Louis & stopped in one afternoon for a drink & guacamole. The guac is homemade; SO delicious & with homemade chips! We decided to return the next day for lunch. This time we had the tacos. Again, plentiful meat with the most delicious tasteful toppings. We were fortunate to have the same waiter, Tony. He’s definitely an asset to the restaurant. Very attentive & personable. Highly recommend this gem in St Paul!!“

“😎😋💕I really appreciate this cold drink on a hot summer day.“

“Amazing food. Great staff at the Blaine location. Thanks Monique and Thomas.“

“Jenna is hands down the best employee that this Starbucks location (or any location I’ve been to) has. Though I can’t say I’ve ever had a negative experience at this location, as everyone has been great, I will say that seeing Jenna makes both mine (and my nanny kiddos) day each and every time we visit. So friendly, takes the time to get to know us and asks the girls questions about their days. It feels rare to find an employee who seems to genuinely care about their customers. She’s truly an asset to their team and deserves much more than what I’m sure she’s being given. I cannot say enough good things. I could easily go to any of the other 5 locations around here, yet because of Jenna I will frequent here every time. She’s the best there is.“

“I’m a huge fan of this coffee shoppe. The culture of friendship, hospitality, and delicious coffee is astounding. I’m here every day!“

“$11 for a black coffee and sandwich isn’t bad for the airport. The coffee was hot, fresh, tasted great. The staff was very friendly even with being very busy. My sandwich was underwhelming as it wasn’t very warm, bagel not toasted and dry.“

“I love this place!!! The service is amazing, the staff is happy, the pastries are to die for, and the coffee is absolutely fabulous!!! I've had quite a few of Luminarys specialty coffee drinks and all have been exquisite. Today, I noticed a new iced peanut butter chocolate coffee beverage, and had to give it a try. I was pretty sure this wasn't going to be my favorite drink and I was so so wrong. I'm amazed once again and the iced peanut butter chocolate coffee mix might be my new fave!!! 😋 ❤️🤟“

“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!“

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

“Some of the best espresso drinks I’ve ever had in the cities !“

“Fantastic coffee, incredible apple fritters. Staff were kind and attentive. They have a large coffee roasting oven behind the counter, so the entire place smells heavenly. Only one bathroom though, so don’t drink your coffee too quick.

Will be back, and likely will be purchasing coffee beans from them in the future.“

“Stopped in for a croissant and after that one I had to get more to take home! Also enjoyed a few other treats and some friendly employees. I hope the St. Patty’s croissants are available next year as well because they were seriously AMAZING.“

“The owner is just WONDERFUL! Great service and very personable- a Saint Paul icon.“

“Good coffee. Great mission.“

“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.“

“They make a delicious latte!“

“The staff were so incredibly helpful with recommendations and letting me try samples. I'd highly recommend checking this place out, the selection was fantastic.“

“Loved Mocha and Cortado !“

“Grab A Quick cup of Decentable of coffee“

“Fantastic mocha. For a mocha, this had depths of flavor and the coffee was a delicious compliment to the chocolate. This place was busy on a Sunday morning. But was worth the little bit of a wait. There is very little seating, so I grabbed my coffee to go.“

“Cute, cozy neighborhood staple in a trendy, busy part of Saint Paul. They have an expansive breakfast menu with lots of sweet and savory options, and their drink menu is impressive as well! I tried the ube matcha iced latte, which was delicious, sweet, and smooth. Additionally (not pictured) I got their seasonal pumpkin smoothie which was sweet, nourishing, and had interesting fresh ingredients (sweetened with fresh dates!) Their lemon ricotta pancakes are huge, served with a generous amount of lemon curd and impeccably fresh blueberries. The texture is great: soft but not underdone, fluffy without being too heavy. We came at a busy time, so while drinks came out quickly, the food was a tad slow. All in all, though, I'd love to come back and try more menu options!“

“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.

“This is an update. Caribou Coffee on 7th is a very nice place for coffee. It is a small place but is very comfortable with great views of the hills above 7th. They have wifi, I use my laptop and I see others do the same. They have all kinds of coffee drinks and teas too! They have sandwiches, as well as pastries and other baked goods to go with your coffee. They have a free parking lot. They have a drive-through for ordering. Hours are 5:30am to 7pm,on weekdays. 6am to 7pm on weekends I think it is one of the better Caribou Coffee stores around! By the way the wifi is free! Great employees here as well!! A Clean restroom too! To conclude, I really like their expresso it is very good. The drive-through is a big plus here! On warm days they have an outside sitting area.Make your way to this Caribou you will enjoy it! P.S. this establishment handicap accessible!!“

“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!“

“Very comfortable environment! Folks that work there are excellent with customers, they are kind, attentive and you can tell they want to be there, too.“

“Great spot to sit and take a beat. The coffee is fantastic. The seasonal specials are delicious. They have a solid selection of sweet and savory pastries. If you’re feeling decadent, get a Carmella with oat milk and slowly melt into a puddle!“

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

“A convenient array of staples for an excellent price and the owner is super nice and cares so much about the community.“

“The very pleasant server shared that I had a 50% discount available. She applied that to my order but the system would not let it go through went I went to pay. Did not get the discount today… not a people issue, this was a problem with the caribou system.“

“Been a long time since I been at a mc Donald's without any issues. Employees where nice not on there phones. Food was quick and hot. And correct!!!
What a huge difference from McDonald's where everyone is on there phones and could careless if they are even working.“

“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!!!!“

“I have experienced and loved this place. All the food and drinks here are delicious. The space is clean. Will come back to support.“

“The red chai, not sure that's what it was called, was very good. I went here for a meeting of Silent Book Club. Unsure how I feel about it overall, but will probably be back. Everyone was nice. There were no pastries or snacks by 2 pm.“

“it’s nice but the parking lot is absolutely awful. also they use too much grease in their food. otherwise the place is pretty and the drinks are tasty.

Parking: super tiny parking lot and the entry is right next to intersection, i got honked at going in because there’s no lane for it“

“Awesome place, awesome people!“

“This is my 4th year ordering a vegan Thanksgiving meal through Whole Foods' catering service. Go to the Whole Foods website, click on "Catering" and look for "Vegan Holiday". It's called "Vegan Meal for 2" but I always get 3-4 meals out of it – totally worth $39.99. You place the order ahead of time, then pick everything up before the holiday, and cook it at home. The food has been delicious every year. This year the meal includes the following: WHOLE FOODS VEGAN THANKSGIVING Pumpkin Curry Soup Mushroom & Root Vegetable en Croûte (entrée) Roasted Butternut Squash with Cranberries & Sage Roasted Fingerlings with Garlic & Parsley Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper Green Beans Mushroom Gravy This year I ordered an additional side of Cranberry Orange Sauce. I was really happy to find a vegan HALF pumpkin pie for sale at the bakery counter. Updated from previous review on 2023-11-22“

“The best coffee and lovely space!“

“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! 💖“

“First time and it was delicious“

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

“This is what a community coffee shop should feel like. There was a bustle and energy that was fun to be in. Thanks for being a great place to hang out and work!“

“One of my favorite breweries of all time. Always a great selection and variety and love their hazy IPAs.“

“Clean and nice place. Great customer service. And our coffee was great. Great location 😎“

“got a old school vanilla cone they got 4 different cones variety of ice cream cool laid back place“
