Good coffee, nice people working, and the higher tables are so nice to sit and work at. What more could you need?? I love Workhorse and will continue to go there 3-7 days a week for the foreseeable future!

Fantastic bacon egg quiche and cold brew. Even better was LGBTQ friendly and affirming environment and staff.

Is a leviathan in an otherwise mediocre Twin Cities coffee shop landscape. Excellent coffee and friendly staff in a convenient location.

Nestled in the heart of Midway, Workhorse Coffee Bar proved to be a hidden gem awaiting discovery. My daughter and I stumbled upon this quaint establishment on a crisp morning, seeking respite from the bustling streets outside. What we found exceeded our expectations and left us longing for more.Upon entering, we were greeted by the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the inviting warmth of the cozy interior. The ambiance was a harmonious blend of modern chic and rustic charm, with exposed brick walls adorned with local artwork, complemented by the soft glow of pendant lights hanging from the ceiling.As we approached the counter, we were met with friendly smiles from the baristas, whose passion for their craft was evident in every cup they served. After perusing the menu, we decided to indulge in some breakfast bites to accompany our coffee. The selection was diverse, featuring both sweet and savory options crafted with care using locally sourced ingredients.I opted for the chocolate cookie, a masterpiece of simplicity and flavor. My daughter grabbed a gluten free cookie that made her smile light up the room.Workhorse Coffee Bar is more than just a place to grab a cup of coffee; it's a haven of warmth, community, and culinary delight. Whether you're seeking a quick caffeine fix or a leisurely breakfast bite with loved ones, I wholeheartedly recommend paying a visit to Workhorse Coffee Bar. You won't be disappointed.

literally my favorite cafe. i would gatekeep but they are very cool. staff is super friendly and helpful. willing to talk through orders with you and make adjustments. good selection of pastries and the best iced vanilla latte with oatmilk i have ever had. it lives up to its name as well, big tables perfect for studying at and a great playlist to go with it. there is a record store around the corner and a great mediterranean place across the street. truly a gem of a place. right on the 63 too so very accessible

Their veggie quiche makes me want to come back for breakfast every day of the month! Plus, good coffee, friendly staff, and a chill place to get work done.Parking: Park around the corner on Raymond or another side street. There is no coffee shop parking in the lot next door on University.

You must try this place out!!! I read the reviews before and noticed comments about the service being great. Well, that is an understatement. I have genuinely never gotten service like this. I couldn’t have the raw honey in the chai they make in house (huge plus already) so the barista/owner(?) made me a special custom drink from scratch, with so much joy! The drinks are incredible. The bagels are from St Paul Bagelry which is awesome.Dietary restrictions: No charge for milk substitutes

I stopped by on a weekend to grab a snack between showing homes and an open house in the area (local Realtor here!) The chai was delicious! And the quiche really filled me up after a busy morning.
