“Rose is the best. This location is consistently fast, friendly, knowledgeable, and reliable. The drinks are always the same every time. They’re good at helping you figure out what to order and are happy to make customizations. Highly recommend. Good spot to stop while you wait for your fresh Hyvee lunch to be prepared“
“After moving boxes and all kinds of things around from a storage unit to a hotel room and getting everything unpacked and put away, a large vanilla shake, regular burger with no pickles & no mustard, and a large sprite to take it all in with…. it was magical!!! It was like virgin mcdonald groupies!!! I can’t remember the last time it was so darn delicious!!!!!♥️ ?? ??? ?“
“This adorable cafe blends in so well with the neighborhood I almost missed it. So glad I didn’t, though! The space is clean and tidy and there are a few tables to sit and enjoy a beverage. When it got busier, staff brought out additional seating to accommodate. I enjoyed my chai tea latte and the message on the milk foam added a fun little twist. Street parking only, but it wasn’t too hard to find a spot. Would visit again and definitely worth the trip!“
“I feel so blessed to have this gem of a coffee shop in my neighborhood! The Pork Cutie is one of my favorite sandwiches on earth, I'm deadly serious. They're always playing great music, the staff is friendly, and every detail is intentional and unique - what more could you ask for?“
“Stopped in to Cosmic Coffee the other morning on a whim, and believe I just may have found my new favorite coffee shop in NE. Cosmic Coffee feels like an old school coffee shop, the ones that were about people connecting with people. Actual real live PEOPLE!!! Not only was the coffee delicious- expertly prepared by Dusty-but it was so refreshing to be around people laughing, conversing and connecting not just working away on laptops. If you want a great cup of coffee in a cozy, warm space of brick, wood and eclectic decor that does not feel like a sterile white hipster tech haven, please please give Cosmic a visit! And I recommend a lavender mocha!!“
“The tea was amazing, it was very nice to have tea with my parents and have a conversation. The prices were a bit high for tea, but I think the overall experience of it and quality of tea is definitely worth it if you enjoy tea. The Ambiance was okay, I did go during a weekend so it was busy. Highly recommend going during a weekday if you want a little more less chaos, peace, and quiet. I will say the customer service was okay too, I'm definitely NOT a tea expert and it was my first time here, so I wasn't sure what to order or how to. When I told the employee about this, they didn't really help me understand how their tea system/menu works and what tea is best for certain situations or taste and health benefits. So we were kinda just forced to guess on one and hope it was good, which luckily it was.“
“Some of their menu items are misleading. The photo shows boba but doesn't include it. When I brought this up I was told that the photo doesn't exactly represent the drink. That doesn't even make sense? That's what photos are for. So after driving to Dinky Town to try Bober Tea I will say it makes me not want to come back. The donuts on the other hand were amazing and fresh. They were warm, slightly crisp on the outside and so soft on the inside with lots of flavor. Just a warning to ask about your drink beforehand otherwise you'll end up with something you didn't want.“
“I have been exploring Roseville and St Paul as I'll be relocating there soon. Man was I happy to run into this place. For me this is how a coffee shop should be. Dark wood, cozy eclectic vibe, supporting the local community, a good variety of coffee/espresso based drinks, toss in some fresh baked goods and snacks if you need them and you have a great place for good conversations, reading a book, or just sitting in the corner alone like me and enjoying the moment.Parking: Extra large parking lot. No problems there.“
“I did not think this “shack” would be my go-to coffee shop. But, holy cow - it’s the BEST! I can walk to two Caribous and a Starbucks, but I prefer to get on the highway just for a coffee from Mudslingers. Something about the espresso there just doesn’t even compare to other places, even some of the more hipster and bougie coffee shops. I’m utterly impressed. Keep doing what you’re doing.“
“Fawkes Alley is a delightful coffee shop. My favorite drink is the Lab Latte--iced lavender latte with honey cold foam. The two young men who work Saturdays are incredibly friendly and personable. My go-to weekend coffee spot before or after a walk through Loring Park :)“
“A new favorite of mine. The bun vermicelli noodle salads are so good. I've tried the chicken teriyaki and grilled pork and they're both delicious. Love all the drinks...I had the brown sugar milk tea with boba, and they have non-dairy options too, like oat milk. Of course the croissants and baked goods are amazing! Will be going back regularly. Oh and the bulgogi beef kimchi fries! Fantastic!Dietary restrictions: Dairy free drink optionsKid-friendliness: Lots of space, variety of seating options, very kids and family friendly.“
“Love this place. Great spaces to sit or work, busy (people talking and engaging) but not crazy. Very community-spirited and great service. Coffee and food selection was wonderful. Would love to try in the summer when the place is more open and dog-friendly too.“
“Cool coffee shop. Huge seating area with plenty of comfy chairs and couches to enjoy your food or coffee. Old fashion style donut was really good, highly recommend. Cold brew was solid as well. Baristas were friendly and service was very fast. Definitely recommend this place for a good spot to read, study, work, whatever you need. There is no parking available and you’ll need to find street parking if visiting.“
“I had such a serene experience here on Easter! The soothing music, the flow of the fish tank, and seeing people actually interact with one another created a tranquil atmosphere. Though the menu was a bit overwhelming in its design, our tea barista was incredibly kind and she provided helpful explanations every step of the way. We felt attentively listened to. I would definitely recommend this place“
“This place is so welcoming and great service ! Everytime I go there I plan on just a shake. But as I chat with Jami she is so loving and caring...I can't leave without their yummy bagels and then they seem to.have something new..like those cute lil adorable pies so yup couple of those too.Everything i have had there was so good and don't feel guilty for its packed with protein. So if you have never checked this place out give it a try.I Promise you won't regret and no matter who is working you will feel a very warm welcome ? !There are still are many things I want to try.The menu us huge!Parking: Right in front of front door!Kid-friendliness: I have seen many kids activities there offered.Wheelchair accessibility: I'm sure anyone with wheelchair ♿️ would have plenty of room.Also handicap ♿️ parking in lot.“
“I stopped by last Saturday, and I got a scone and a Cranes in the Sky iced coffee, and the combination was AMAZING! The prices were very reasonable for the hand-crafted beverage and pastry! I also loved the ambiance of the coffee shop, the outdoor patio, and the clothing selection! I will definitely come back!“

“the coffee is amazing and they make the most interesting drink combinations for their seasonal drinks. I never thought peaches and coffee would go well together but it's delicious. they also make adorable latte art and are very involved in neighborhood events!“
“My boyfriend and I decided to check out a new coffee shop, and we came across Cuppa Java on Google Maps. When we first entered the building, I immediately loved the vibe, and there are many cozy corners with plenty of outfits to get some work done. The employees were extremely friendly, and I ordered and ate one of the best bagels I've ever had.There is a gender neutral bathroom with ADA accessibility which I highly appreciated.I will definitely be coming back!“

“We’re no stranger to Cardigan. They catered 200 DELICIOUS donuts for our wedding! These guys are the real deal.Amazing donut delivery service! Ordering system is fantastic - you can pick flavors to gift or have them select (or a combo!) I’ve sent them as little surprise gifts to so many people over the years - just to perk up someone’s day. You can include a free message. I hope they never change and I wish them many years of continued success!“
“This place has it all, amazing food (give the quiche a try, you won’t be disappointed) the owner was very funny and easy to talk to and the other patrons were delightful to talk to as well. I highly recommend this place and will continue coming back!“
“We had a birthday party there last night and all the kids had a blast. The staff was awesome. Before we even left, many of the kids were asking about going back. I forgot to get a picture of them to post, unfortunately. It was a huge hit and a great alternative to the same old birthday destinations.“
“Ok what a cool little coffee shop in NE. It’s a very minimalist concept but the vibes were ?. I’m normally a big light person and it got a bit dark in here in the afternoon, but it was fitting for the atmosphere of this place so I didn’t mind too much. The music is played from records so the barista was changing out the albums the whole time.My matcha was really good. It came to like $9 so not super cheap, but I do enjoy a good homemade drink :)Metered street parking around unless you walk across the bridge for the free parking in the neighborhood.“
“This coffee is some of the best in Minneapolis, and the croissants are to DIE for. The atmosphere is so cool-- skater merch, art everywhere, just excellent!! The staff is also very nice and the service is great. I love this place so much <3“
“I stopped in today and ordered two Poke bowls and slushy. The whole experience was great. Quick service, great quality, friendly staff, very clean and cute decor. We will certainly be coming back ALOT!!! Also I highly recommend the kiwi cheese slushy.“
“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.“
“Had such a great visit here today! We were able to visit with the kitties without a reservation on a Tuesday morning. The kitties seemed happy and healthy and the environment was clean and seemed well cared for. There were so many lovely cats and it was fun to spend time with them. One climbed into my lap to snuggle for a bit wich I loved. The staff was super friendly and one of the kitties literally jumped into the staff members arms for a cuddle during the hour change over wich I thought was adorable. Obviously the staff here care very much for the cats and the cats love them back.Coffee was delicious as well. Will definitely be back ?“
“Matchbox is great! Good price on quality drinks and down to earth place with personality! The barista I met, Lauren, is very pleasant and makes great drinks!! For sure Matchbox is worth my bike ride from South Minneapolis. I highly recommend it!“
“The last two words "Coffee gallery" perfectly describes the coffee shop! It's cool seeing the different kinds of art work, also two huge plusses are there's plenty of tables and there's a parking lot!! For the amount of people that were there it wasn't super loud either! Will for sure be coming back again!“
“I had the Hawaiian Paradise at 30% sweetness. It had boba pearls in it. Even at 30% sweetness, it was still very sweet, but also refreshing and delicious. Wish they had patio space, but it was a clean and calm atmosphere. I highly recommend it.“
“I adopted my cat from Cafe Meow a few weeks ago and absolutely love coming in to hangout with the kitties. The staff treats them very well and is always very kind. I’m very thankful to have met Rocky and to have him apart of my little family now. My other cat Soot has been loving the company of another since my other cat passed a few months ago. Soot seems so much happier and I’m very happy to have gone through the adoption process through the cafe/the adoption agencies they work with. What they do for the cats is amazing. ☺️“
“Fabulous! We hired La Belle Crepe to cater breakfast for our regional managers meeting. The attendees were so impressed that we had someone making crepes to order for them and Alain was friendly and fun to chat with while he was cooking for them. Wonderful food and fabulous company - we will definitely have them back!“

“The coffee is both affordable and tasty. I ordered the Iced Mocha. They had a good variety of desserts. I enjoyed the LGBT+ atmosphere. It felt very welcoming here. The tiny little cactuses and succulents are inexpensive. The larger plants are a little pricey. There's a cute little bookshelf in the back, and there are pieces of art for sale by local artists. I will be back!“
“Amazing coffee prepared by a super friendly owner. We tried the white chocolate iced latte and it was delicious.. just the perfect amount of coffee and white chocolate. We also tried the hallelujah coffee and it was beyond perfect and came with a white chocolate peppermint bark on top!“
“Love this place, great espresso and espresso based drinks. The neighborhood feels like it’s attempting to be cosmopolitan and consequently the businesses here. I simply want a coffee. That’s the only small minor annoyance. Outside of that this place is amazing. Check out their other locations too.“
“My husband and I visited Relish with friends for the first time today. We were all very pleased with the service and the bright, fun decor. My husband and I tried the breakfast seasonal hash and it was delicious! The coffee drinks were very good. I ordered a spinach salad to take out for lunch and it was fresh and tasty. Definitely would go again.“
“Great atmosphere, the happy employees with their banter behind the counter and the openness of the order area is comforting. My breakfast sandwich was quite frankly the best one I’ve ever had, worth the money. I live over 45 minutes away but I will be back just for this shop!“

“If you've been looking for a reason to come back downtown, you have it! David Fhima , Eli Fhima and team have again knocked it out of the park. Phenomenal coffee and pastries. I can't wait to be down for wine soon too! SO great to have this in the Capella Tower!“
“Everything is over 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!! Stellar atmosphere, happy customers, great staff, delicious brew!! Want to bring all my friends over here and make new friends just to bring here!Parking: Great parking, plenty of spaces to choose from!Kid-friendliness: Great vibes. Lots of space“
“The atmosphere as soon as you walk in are calm, inviting, small, and lovely. Slow and I love that. It makes you feel good to walk in there to enjoy or grab your coffee, theres multiple tables and a great seating area. They sell the coffee beans, books, and have a menu that you can choose your flavors to add to your coffee. The coffee itself is smooth and not strong or delicate , it’s juss right. I love it here. It’s a small shop, and I wish their hours were more expanded but otherwise it’s sucha lovely unique coffee place. I think alotta people enjoy it too?️?☕️ I get the cherry white chocolate hot mocha and it’s so delicious ,??? the lady and man are so nice too. They run it by themselves I think cause iv never seen anyone else in there helping.“
“The Coffee is absolutely incredible, got to spend my morning talking with Sean and I was struck in awe by his love of the beautiful characteristics in the simplicity of coffee.Keep up the amazing roasting and you have a life long customer now!“
“Since my family moved from Minneapolis to Crystal last summer, this bakery is a place where my family have began to frequently visit.A really calming atmosphere to either study or relax and chat with friends.I got a mango smoothie along with some cookies, the smoothie was excellent and was a more mild sweetness that I really enjoyed.The cookies were alright, but were better than I did expect.Overall, I really like this place and is pretty close by to where we live. Definitely worth to give the place a try!“
“Just "discovered" this wonderful place yesterday between performances by Ten Thousand Things at Luminary Arts Center 2 doors down! Customer service was friendly, joyful, expert, and truy welcoming even 20 minutes before closing (and beyond). My decaf Mocha and Cuban panini were both superlative and hit the spot. I especially loved the little free library and the cozy atmosphere. I will return as often as I can!“
“Talk about a great selection of loose leaf teas! I especially enjoyed being able to look and smell them within the store itself and read about the differences without having to ask for assistance. They also have hot and iced teas to-go. I tried out their iced chai and it didn't disappoint- a nice balance of spice and sweet.“
“We had the incredible opportunity to host an after hours event at the shop, and I simply cannot speak more highly of the service and ownership of this shop. The owner Greta is a deep supporter of her community and has fostered such a thoughtful and wholesome environment.“
“It’s a 4 degree Fahrenheit day in Minnesota and there is no better way to spend the morning than visiting a coffee shop. I stumbled upon Up Cafe. What a treat! The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting. Background music adds to the great vibe here. This is one of the easier-to-get-to coffee shops in Minneapolis as it is near the hustle and bustle of the city but situated in a quiet neighborhood not far off the beaten path. They make a crave-worthy oat milk latte that I will come back for!Parking: This coffee shop has ample, no hassle street parking and a small attached lot.“
“If you're looking for a great healthy option for a meal this is the place! Be it a shake, oatmeal, parfait, tea or any other item on the menu you can't go wrong. The owner Jess makes you feel welcome and is happy to answer any and all questions you may have.“
“I can't say enough good things about this place. I'm so glad there's a place for fancy pastries right down the street. I've never had a dessert I didn't love. Thanks for being in our community and making tasty treats, LDB!“
“Have been here a TON of times because it's great ice cream but that's not all!They have so many dairy free options and options that are also both dairy free and gluten free, so my wife has lots of options, too!They have some of the most creative flavors I've seen and they are so good- pandan, ube, malt vanilla, ground chocolate chips, s'mores, golden milk, maple bacon (with real thick cut bacon in it!!!! ?).This place goes against my goals and increases my cheat days but I'm not just trying to be fit, I'M WANT TO LIVE! ?it's a great treat and the owners are sweet as well, pun intended-They coerced me into trying the cookie and I was so mad because it is BOMB and now I have to leave with one when I come.The savory waffle was the stuff of dreams, I did the ham and cheese and it was elevated, the presentation alone was worth it but it tasted so good.I've also tried the root beer float and the malts with different combinations. When the owners are there, talk ice cream and flavors with them because they are fun to talk to as well.I highly recommend stopping here!Parking: It's NE be prepared to drive around a couple of laps before finding a spot...The ice cream will cool you off after you've gotten heated from losing a couple parking spots! ?“
“I have been a regular drive thru customer (2-4 times weekly) 1-2 years or more. On Wed (11/9) I was charged approx 70 cents more than I had been charged on Mon of the same week. I was told it was an increase on the sweetener. Seemed a little high, but I wanted my tea and needed to get to a class at church. I had the regular cost ready to pay, but was a little short, so I used my charge card. I didn't get a receipt, so that night I checked on line and found I was charged approx 25 to 30 cents more than I had been told.I had not stopped again until Thurs 11/17 when I went inside and ordered my tea and was told the cost was what I had been paying for a while. Thus I am pleased to find the costing is similar to previously, not $1.00 more that I had been charged on 11/9.On 11/17 those working were very courteous and pleasant as usual, but they of course were unable to explain the additional overcharge on my card. I will go back next week and will see how the pricing at the drive thru goes. I will try to not use my card.I understand price increases, but the credit card shouldn't have a higher price.I have enjoyed the service at this location and prefer to shop here. We have 3 Caribou shops in our immediate area and prefer to continue to shop at Spring Lake Park.“
