17 Best Cafes near Shakopee

“My daughter and I came in on Thursday for our weekly Sam's club stop. They were out of what we came for but the manager Philip went above and beyond to make my kiddos day. The lady at the service counter was awesome too, I unfortunately don't remember her name though.“

“Beyond impressed with the phenomenal customer service at CTC! The staff is so kind & incredibly helpful. I love trying their sandwiches, wraps and of course coffee too. Everything has been so great.“

“I go to this caribou nearly every day and often times I have a large order (3-5 drinks). I’m sure it’s a hassle to make this many drinks for a pick
up order but the workers are still kind to me. Mandy (I think that’s her name) always recognizes me and is super nice. And the manager there is also super sweet. I appreciate them making me feel welcome even when my order may be a bit annoying. And it’s an additional plus that the drinks are always made to our liking. I go to other caribous but it never compares to this one. Just wanted to express my appreciation for all the workers here.“

“Nick the manager was amazing, he went above and beyond! He had the best recommendations, was extremely kind, made sure we had everything we needed, and you can tell he truly loves his job. Highly recommend stopping in to see Nick! 😊“

“What an amazing staple to the Hopkins community. Mocha and pumpkin butter coffee are a must try. This place support local artists and business as well. prices are more better than most corporations so choose to shop small and support this local Hopkins jem.“

“I have been going to Cafe 12:2 for over five years at this point, and the quality never disappoints! They have a wide variety of hot, cold, and blended drinks such as mochas, lattes, frappuccinos, drip coffee, etc. There are bottled soda pop and water as well, and apart from beverages they also sell yogurt, cheese and beef sticks, candies and pastries. All of the products are reasonably priced; in the five years I've been at 12:2, there has only been a 25 cent raise in price primarily because of a switch to a higher quality coffee brand. All the staff are friendly and understanding, the layout of the Cafe is warm and aesthetically pleasing, and of course all the drinks look and taste amazing!

Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly snacks such as fruit snacks, cheese sticks, and goldfish are sold. Hot chocolate can be made less hot for the little ones.

Parking: All parking is free and a short walk from the Cafe.

Wheelchair accessibility: Along with stairs, there is an elevator guests may use.

Dietary restrictions: There are several types of milk products available, including skim milk, soy milk, coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk, and half and half.“

“Always love Smith for coffee/food but the Thursday pizza night was exceptional. We tried 4 different pizzas and 2 salads. All were amazing!!! I hesitate to write a great review as to draw too much attention and it becomes too crowded 😅“

“I don’t really go here often but every now and then I’ll find a gift card from 2018 in my drawer and then I can justify spending $7 for 250mg caffeine. However whenever I do go the team working is always speedy and extremely friendly. Whenever I pull out 4 gift cards with $0.30-$4 on them the cashiers always look at me like I’m crazy. I don’t know how much is on them. They’ve been in a drawer for 7 years every time I use one it’s like seeing if I won the lottery or if it’s just an empty one I forgot to throw away. Anyways…staff here is great. Coffee is expensive but everything is expensive it’s 2025. They also need to start getting whole milk. 5 stars.“

“We’re from out of town and were visiting family. We came to get a late breakfast or early lunch and this nailed it on the head. The space is light and airy. There is plenty of room around the tables. We didn’t have one person running into us going to or from their tables. Our service was Jeannie. She was superb! She gave us enough time to choose what we wanted to eat, brought the food out quickly, asked pertinent follow up questions and was happy to bring us a few more things we decided we wanted last minute. I ordered my eggs over medium and the chef nailed it! The yolks were runny and the whites cooked through. They were perfect! We were able to sit and enjoy our beverages, while feeling well-attended to without feeling rushed. Thank you for a great experience!“

“Amazing 🤩 place for all family“

“Very conveniently located just off of Highway seven and 169. There is always plenty of parking, but it is located in Norwood Mall, which always seems to be super busy. After dodging traffic to get over to Panera the parking is easy. We ordered our food about seven minutes before you arrived on their app. When we arrived, the food was ready and at the counter we able to pick it up and sit down. The food was fantastic. All the staff members we encountered were very polite. My only complaint is the Diet Coke drips on your hand when you’re trying to fill your cup other than that it’s a fantastic place to go and I would highly recommend it as we go here a couple times a month.“
