50 Best Coffee Shops in Saint Paul

“Great coffee and atmosphere.“

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

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

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

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

“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 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!!! 😋 ❤️🤟“

“$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.“

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

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

“I always gravitate to a locally owned shop and this was a great choice. Cool little space, great service and, lest we forget, Great Coffee. They know what they're doing:) Starbucks and Caribou will be just fine without You and I, go here instead.“

“I am so glad this is not near my house, it is dangerously delicious, this place is amazing, from smoothie bowls to crapes, cofee to pastries, atmosphere is amazing, wether you sit inside or enjoy the beautiful MN weather.

Vegetarian options: They can basically customize the crepes and anything on the menu“

“They made our day! If I could give ten stars I would“

“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!“

“Good coffee. Great mission.“

“They make a delicious latte!“

“Grab A Quick cup of Decentable of coffee“

“Breakfast sandwich is fire. And the burrito is to die for. The beet Reuben is a fantastic veggie choice too. I'm in the neighborhood and I go here at least twice a week. Run, don't walk.

Vegetarian options: Beet Reuben is delicious“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Loved Mocha and Cortado !“

“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.“

“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.“

“I would like to give praise to Jeff. He makes the best Turtle mocha ever. I’ve been coming to this location for over 2 years every day because he is a coffee genius . Today I was in and he didn’t make my drink and immediately I knew the difference.“

“Christopher does an amazing job managing this Caribou located in the Securian financial building in Saint Paul's skyway system. Their friendly staff will remember your name with a smile. Once a regular, I no longer frequent their MSP Caribou due to the change of their loyalty program. With nearly 7,000 points, Caribou devalued my point value. No Bueno.

Parking: Horrible. They are located in the skyway system of downtown Saint Paul.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, via elevator.“

“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!“

“First time and it was delicious“

“99/100 I have an excellent experience at any Caribou, but 100/100 I have an amazing experience at this Caribou! It is my favorite. I'm not sure what makes it so special, but I've been coming here for over 15 years and it's always wonderful.“

“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!“

“I went to co-work with some friends. The coffee was great! They had a mushroom and cheese croissant type thing that was also delicious. The place was clean and the vibes were great. I love all the art they have around.

The staff were sweet and accommodating. I am asking my buddies to put this place on our co working rotation.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I really wish I still lived close to this shop…I would come in and was always warmly greeted by the staff. Their website only lists a few selections, but if you drop by, they’ll have multiple other flavors on tap.At first I was really reluctant to try the Heatwave because everything else is refreshing, and I feared the heatwave wouldn’t, but I was totally wrong!When I lived near by, I'd make a point of dropping by to pick up a growler of the Ruby Punch and a 750ml can of something else.I have never been let down by their brews, and I really wish they had a location in the south metro so that I could keep giving them my business (hint, hint)…But seriously, try their tea, it’s fantastic!!“

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

“We stopped in with our Brazilian exchange student, and he loved it! He grabbed some snacks to take home and ordered lunch for us. Everything was fresh and delicious. Customer service was excellent, store is very clean, free parking right outside.“

“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“

“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"“

“Awesome place, awesome people!“

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

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

“I hope all the employees are more friendly .need more customer service every time I walk in, they make me feel like don't come in. We don't want yours money. 😞that why we stop buying their bakery.“

“I'm new ish the metro and just don't get how you have the best taproom and best beer and least condescending taproom staff. Truly a one of a kind spot. Never met Scott but I'm told it's his legacy living on and may it live on for a long long time.“

“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“
