Nice place with decent parking. Good large area for gatherings.

Long wait midday for a simple cuppa. Only one barista (she was good but a tad overwhelmed by the number of customers). Music was chill, but the cement floor and hard furniture made it a bit loud and easy to overhear talkers even if you wouldn't want to. Coffee was ok and not tepid as is sometimes the case when you get pre-prepared brewed coffee. If you have wheels there are better choices; I suspect the clientele included many people from adjacent apartments.

Went to this location of Dogwood on a Saturday. Was my first time there, I have gone to the Northeast location many times. There was a good amount of seating and the music was not too loud as it can be at some cafes. I brought my own mug, unsure of whether they could use it and to my delight they were able to use it and you are given a small discount/incentive to bring your own mug. Overall a great experience! Something I was wondering about was whether cyclists get some kind of perk there. I heard this in passing but had no idea what it was about.

lots of fruit fly flying around or on the pastry they have, it’s actually pretty gross to watch.Although the drinks are fine sometimes it can taste extra bad. But most of the time it’s ok.

Excellent atmosphere. Friendly staff. Vegan and caffeine-free options. This cafe is outstanding with local goods and drinks, a beautiful layout, and it was immaculately clean despite being busy. It's very quiet considering how bustling it was. There was a group having a meeting, individuals studying or working remotely, couples relaxing and a variety of different people coming through.It has a comfy vibe despite a sort of industrial earthy aesthetic with lots of room between customers. I have heard they host an autism friendly meetup group and I think it would make a great environment for it.Vegetarian options: Vegan options are clearly labeled!Dietary restrictions: They have non-dairy and vegan options. Almond/Oat milks and also herbal/caffeine free optionsParking: Parking is super close right in by the door, though it does fill up quickly.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible entrance, smooth floors and wide halls/spaces

I have been coming here most Sunday mornings over the past couple of years for fellowship and caffeine! I've finally decided to leave a review. This Dogwood Coffee shop is terrific! When I walk in, I am greeted by their friendly staff (Tabby & Callie, for example!) and am at ease with a feeling of, "No Worries!"I usually order a pastry, like the passion fruit caramel-cream croissant donut! Then, I peruse the blackboard to see what special drinks are listed. Today, I chose the Campfire Smoked Maple Latte w/an extra espresso shot for the first time. It was an interestingly tasty drink. It's something I would not have ordered on my own, like many of their specials, but I'm so glad I did! The smokey flavor immediately appeared, and the maple sweetness showed up seconds later; very unique! This Dogwood Coffee location has an industrial decor as the space is a sectioned-off space of a craft printing press company. It has both two and four-person booths, tables, and some lounge chairs circled a coffee table. Plus, it has plenty of free parking and is a few blocks off the Green Line.I hope you stop by when you are looking for a change of pace from your National chain coffee shop! Peace

Dogwood coffee has the distinction of offering the worst customer service I have ever received in a coffee shop. Granted I have been turned off by pretentiousness at other establishments, but that which was conveyed to me here was the absolute worst I have ever experienced. They clearly did not want my business. Perhaps prejudice? Perhaps just rude? Doesn’t matter. Won’t be back.

Great place.Only one suggestion, heat up the cups before serving coffee or tea. It gets cold quickly.

A bit chilly, so bring a sweater. Dogwood always is amazing. I only wish they offered coffee for here in the large size, so I didn’t have to waste a disposable cup. 10/10 though quality.

Coffee and service were great. Some tables and chairs were kind of dirty but overall a nice place to grab a drink and get some work done.Parking: There are a few free spots in front of the store.

Coffee is great here. The service was slow, just one barista and a packed house, but they were nice and friendly.

This coffee house is tucked away on a rather unused street north of University and East of Raymond. Dogwood coffee is well known in the Twin Cities. I decided on the masala chai, a bit sweet but with a nice spice level. They also have Marc Heu pastries. What could be better

I love the way this place smells and I love their coffee. I was driving by and caught the dogwood sign out of the corner of my eye. Slipped in for a quick cup and was out of the door in a few minutes. Great experience!

Look we went to a ton of coffee shops in the Minneapolis area. So I won't bore you with the details in case you read my reviews in sequential order. Needless to say, this one was pretty good. Not great, but par for the course...
