We were in a hurry and used the drive thru. The salted maple and caramel lattes were great. The hospitality and service were amazing!

Hoping for the same quality and options that Rock Creek had, I was disappointed when I ordered my drink, that is only offered in 1 size, and my sandwich, that I used to choose which bagel I would like it on, they only have everything bagels now. I got to my office and went to bite into the bagel and it was rock hard. I was a die hard supporter of Rock Creek, but this was my first and last visit to Kinder Coffee Lab.

Atmosphere is so great- I love the plants!🌱 The kids had to each get a baked good and very much enjoyed them. I loved my coffee and service was super quick! Will definitely be back!

I am a coffeeholic, so unless they make coffee that tastes worse than sweaty athletic socks may be worth sipping some.

Stellar coffee. My husband and I are out of town and decided to stop in. The atmosphere is clean and comfortable. The barista was kind and efficient with our order. I ordered an iced vanilla latte with whole milk and my husband ordered the iced salted maple latte. Both were delicious. We also ordered the bagel sandwich and the burrito which were also very good. Thank you!

Kinder gave me a great experience! I recommend the chai latte. It is exquisite. The staff are friendly, and the environment has a wonderful sun spot.

Love Kinder! My go-to is a lavender London Fog 🤤, but we also get their beans to brew at home. So good! My personal fav is Wobegon Medium.
The staff is friendly and positive. The coffee shop has an awesome atmosphere. Very bright, with lots of windows and plants. A great spot for working solo, as well as some booths to meet with others.
Highly recommend!

Omg the scones are so amazing and you pair it with a hot chocolate. Yes please

Kinder Coffee is a great place to stop for coffee. They sell fresh roasted coffee beans too, so I like to buy my coffee for home here. The baristas are friendly and helpful. There is also a drive thru. You can get drinks in to-go cups or in a real cup and they probably wouldn't mind if you brought your own cup. I'm also happy that they have decided to be open on Sundays!
Great place to grab coffee from a local business in a wonderful neighborhood, right off Division, easy to get to! There's a drive through and hot breakfast food! Recommend the iced coffee!

Nice local shop. Renovated industrial space with friendly fast service and yummy coffee
Matt Johnson
Excellent coffee crearing a fantastic product in St Cloud. Friendly greeting. We did a cortato and light roast. Recommend both.

Tried this place out for the first time, and I will be returning again! My latte was so good! I can't wait to try other flavors. The place was very clean and modern looking. Busy, but I know why!

TL;DR - Don't come here for the Chai tea; it's expensive and is just pre-made out of a box with a bunch of sugar..
I'm not a coffee person, but I do like a good Chai tea latte. I saw all the glowing reviews and so I met up with a friend here on a late Saturday morning to give it a try. Every other coffee shop I've been to in the area around this time has been bustling, so I was concerned about the potential wait, but Kinder Coffee Lab was almost empty. Not a great sign, but so many positive reviews couldn't be wrong, right?
Yes, yes they can. As I've stated, I'm not a coffee drinker, but typically with places like this that have so many positive reviews, it's an indicator their non-coffee drinks are also going to be solid. Well, their chai tea certainly isn't. I ordered a Chai Tea Latte and, while they at least had Oat milk as an option, the Chai tea was just a store-bought concentrate and also came out of a box, which was highly disappointing especially considering this was the most expensive Chai tea latte I've ever had. Coincidentally, it was also the worst. The proportions of tea and milk were off and whatever brand of Chai tea concentrate they use, it was... bland at best, but full of sugar. It was actually pretty gross.
Service was.. fine. There was one person out front preparing drinks and taking orders which sounds like a recipe for slow service, but when you are only getting a few customers an hour, it's more than enough.
Overall, I honestly don't see the appeal of this place; but perhaps it's just not for me. Other reviews talk about the great atmosphere but somehow with only 3 other people in the seating area (the barista and two other customers), it was still loud enough my friend and I had to raise our voices to hear each other. Perhaps if I really liked coffee I'd be impressed, but instead I really like tea, with Chai tea being my go-to drink, and to that end, Kinder Coffee Lab disappoints.
