40 Best Cafes near South Saint Paul

“Fun little gem! Great coffee!! & visiting the kitties is so fun!“

“Fast friendly service. Food was good and hot. Will come again when I visit next time!“

“I got the triple berry crepe with dark chocolate sauce and it was delish!! The star of the plate was the unassuming whipped cream. I’ve never had whipped cream like it before and it’s honestly the best I’ve ever tasted so don’t skimp on it. I also tried one of the croffels and was blown away by the many layers familiar to croissants made crispy by being cooked in a waffle iron. I can’t say enough about the flavors and textures experienced at Paris Crepes & Boba Tea. The cherry on the top is the speedy and friendly service. This place is a must try if you enjoy crepes and croissants. 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Super cozy atmosphere and love the tasty Kava drinks ! Kava is a great way to relax with your friends and they have games and other themed nights I’ve noticed which keeps evenings interesting. Definitely love this trend and hope they open another closer to the cities.“

“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! 💖“

“My favorite local spot for matcha!! They serve proper, strong matcha with plenty of flavor variations to try. Despite being consistently busy every time I drop by, the team handles the crowd efficiently and gets drinks out fast. Beyond the great drinks, the customer service is unmatched—they know our names and remember our drink preferences every visit. It’s why I find myself coming back almost every week!“

“The service was amazing and the food was even better!!! Couldn’t have had a better experience! Will definitely be returning when we’re back in St. Paul“

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

“What a super adorbs & Charming coffee shop that feels straight out of Paris. The inside is absolutely beautiful from the aged brick, beautiful vintage tiles, arched ceilings, beautiful lighting, large windows & cozy atmosphere. The smell of coffee just greets you the second you walk in. It was busy- lots of people loves Nina’s. My oat milk iced latte was SO good. Very delicious espresso to oat milk balance.“

“Wow! We just had breakfast at the Uptowner; this place is our new favorite for many reasons! Everything we ordered: pancakes, omelets, eggs benne and hash browns were some of the best we’ve ever had served to us. Our server was also so genuinely kind and attentive! We hope to make it back soon… I have my eye on that Ruben.“

“The best coffee and lovely space!“

“Ordered a full sheet of Ho ho cake at the Roseville location. From the online order to the pick up... absolute perfection. Everyone was so friendly and if they didn't know they found out the answer. I didn't have to worry if the cake was going to be exactly what I was hoping for. AND the taste... so many compliments. Definitely will be back for more cakes from here. Worth the hour and a half drive from home for it!!“

“Great place to grab a bite to eat while in Lower Town. Very warm, inviting space, including games and Legos! The food was delicious and exactly as we ordered it. The staff was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back.“

“Giving this 5 star bc its solid breakfast and big portions but as far as food ive eaten in Minnesota I think my expectations were too high. The food scene is amazing here and I just expected too much out of a breakfast place. This is no henhouse but its good.“

“Always a fabulous meal - thank you!!“

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

“Huge shoutout to Jerry at Caribou (4682 S Robert Trail in Inver Grove Heights, MN)! Their speaker isn’t working, so he is going the extra mile by standing out in the rain taking orders! AND…they recently started using a new system and he is doing great learning how to use it! We love you, Jerry! #staremployee“

“very spacious and quick service“

“No problem finding a table at 9:00 a.m. Waitress was prompt bringing us good and taking our orders. Bacon was particularly delicious. I would recommend if you looking for a new breakfast location.“

“Oh my god. Truly such a perfect meal. The food was so flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and not oily at all. I ate until I was absolutely stuffed but did not feel heavy at all (not to mention the portions are huge so I still had half my plate left). The food and ingredients tasted so fresh. They do not skimp out on giving you meat either. The owner is so sweet and funny. I truly cannot say enough good things. Definitely will be coming regularly to this place from now on.“

“I visited this Caribou as a meeting place to visit family. The employees were friendly, polite, and hard working. The drinks were made perfectly. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing.
This is the second biggest Caribou I’ve ever been to. There was a large amount of seating options, which was perfect for the 6 of us. There were also several other groups of people, some visiting, some studying.
Everywhere I looked was a treat for the eyes. Cute little fake plants, beautiful large photography on the walls, little homey decor pieces, comfy seating, I loved it!
If I’m ever back in the area, I’d love to come back again!“

“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!“

“Love LOVE this shop and all the ladies in here!!! Great products made to perfection always!!! Great environment to hang out a bit and visit as well. Care for their customers in wanting to help them with their nutrition and health goals!!!!!“

“Delicious chocolates & the staff was wonderful!“

“They don't want you to go unless you agree with them politically. 😒 #PoliticalStandards #NoGoing“

“The best breakfast and coffee in town..“

“1.) Very friendly staff and good food & drinks.2.) DRIVE THRUS:. Why can’t Caribou workers except credit cards handed to them (like in their stores) instead of using the ANNOYING credit card machine on a long pole? Other fast food restaurants don’t use them. I mention this to the Caribou cashiers and they said other customers also don’t like using them.“

“Cheap gas prices and helpful people“

“So cozy and sweet, delicious food and great service!“

“great service amazing staff amazing food great prices!!“

“I went there on the MN State Fair Preview Weekend. I had the Mini Donut Beer for the first time. It was insane. If you haven't had it and you're a flavored beer person, you gotta try it. It's no joke like eating a mini donut, but beer. They figured out the secret recipe. And if you like garlic, the Garlic Fries are super tasty. Yes, you need to grab the garlic with the fries, because there's no sauce to stick it together. Also best mosquito repellent lol.“
