41 Best Cafes near Vadnais Heights

“All comments noted above!, a favorite!“

“Such a treat! My kiddo had a day off of school, so we went as a special lunch. It was busy, but the owner Macy and her staff did an excellent job letting everyone know what to expect in terms of wait time for tables and food. And it was so worth the short wait!!! The Bananas Foster was decadent without being too sweet. The eggs Benedict was a super fun twist on a classic dish. We would order both again and plan to be back to try others!“

“Jimmy the Server made our entire experience! We would come back to just visit Jimmy. Engaging, very polite, & accommodating to all our extra requests. FYI, highly recommend the hash browns & cranberry mimosa!! #teamjimmy“

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

“I’m having their quinoa shrimp salad which is delicious! I love their chili, soups & desserts! Such amazing food!“

“Today was our first visit - we got a croissant breakfast sandwich, chocolate donut, and chocolate croissant and it was all delicious! The Pumpkin Spice iced latte was so yummy, great coffee.“

“Best coffee in the twin cities!“

“Wonderful combo of traditional fare and things you've probably never heard of. Friendly people and beautiful, tasty food.“

“I had such a great time at this place! There are games, books, fun products to buy (I left with multiple things), GREAT coffee, and cute cats. The staff is wonderful. I highly recommend this place!“

“Friendly staff. Fast service. Food was very good. I recently moved to Saint Paul and will definitely return to this establishment. 😁“

“lost fox is my go-to for coffee on overnights, great breakfast, excellent servers. 10/10“

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

“Wonderful spot close to Mississippi Market in St. Paul. There is a beautiful small park (when weather permits) to sit outside. The building itself is old and very Swedish even though the history of Swede Hollow is long-past, lots of "hygge" inside (yes I know it's Danish but they did own the country, kinda). A few tables downstairs, one cozy one on the mezzanine, 6-7 upstairs and a neat "conference room" with a very comfy cozy reading armchair. Coffee really good (Americano, Cubano), great selection, had a studenty-feel, but we are close to MSU. The food looked very good. One of my new favourite "Third Places"“

“The best coffee and lovely space!“

“Thank you for making my day! Today is my birthday and my hubby went to get my favorite treat(The House Made Chocolate Cake) at the Stillwater location, but they were closed. Then those little angels inside saw him lingering at the door and after he told them his dilemma they gave him TWO slices to save the day! Showing kindness like that is a true testimony to your business model and all that is right in this world! We love that you are in Stillwater now. Thank you and see you soon!“

“To go window! Great for dog walkers!“

“Key's doesn't just have incredible food but they make fantastic cakes. Their chocolate house cake it to die for. They did an incredible job matching the invitation and theme for my sister-in-law's baby shower cake! The spinach salad with warm bacon dressing it one of my favorites.“

“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.“

“Great food. Fast service, even considering the waitlist of people on a Saturday morning. Estimated wait time 20 min, seated in 10.

Note to other patrons:
Bringing a large group to breakfast on the busiest day of the week? Call ahead and reserve a table. Panicking the high school age hostess because you brought a group of 11, which was shortly followed by a group of 6, to a popular busy breakfast place and didn’t plan ahead… not their fault. Being seated after 1-top and 2-tops… normal. They only have so many big tables. Don’t flip out at the young girl trying to find you a table because someone eating by themselves was seated before your entire group had a free table. Accept YOUR bad planning and wait til they can accommodate you.

To the girls who were hosting and seating today:
I’m appalled by the way I watched these people treat you. You did everything right, and if they complain later about it, I hope your bosses see this comment!“

“We were looking for exceptional food for my 40th birthday party. I was able to try the brisket and pork belly and fell in love. It was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend both meats for any event, especially a gathering. Thanks again! Can’t wait to buy again!“

“Great coffee and atmosphere.“

“Staff is friendly. I love the atmosphere. The bubble tea there tastes so good. <3“

“Amazing friendly staff, great drinks, and the pup cups are 11/10!“

“Loved this place! If you’re gluten free - they will take good care of you! My kid has a gluten allergy and they were so careful to accommodate and she was enamored with the food. Service was fantastic also! Great experience! Will make this a regular stop when in the Twin Cities! ❤️“

“Exceptional service paired with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The space offers ample room and comfortable seating, making it ideal for both relaxing and working. The environment is consistently quiet, promoting a sense of calm that enhances the overall experience. The staff are attentive, friendly, and professional, always ensuring customers feel valued. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is evident in the small details, from the quality of the beverages to the prompt and courteous service. This coffee shop is a perfect spot for anyone seeking a positive and productive environment, and the excellent service undoubtedly contributes to a memorable experience.“

“Protein breakfast bowl really hit the spot. 🥰“

“I looooooove the coffee at Nina's. It was. Very busy when I was there which is a good sign! Even though there were a lot of people, my coffee came quickly, and it's in a nice area to walk around and smile at the doggos in the area while sipping your coffee“

“Check this place out if you get to the fair. Great beer selection and tasty food! The tacos and arancini are amazing, and have the nachos for a little extra snack.“

“very spacious and quick service“

“Solid and consistent good coffee.. creative bakery with fun flavors , kind staff. I love that they let people sell products and crafts along the wait line area.. a sweet mom/child project for scrunchies got me and I bought some.. 💕 oh!!! Don’t go on Mondays and be sad! That is the only day they are closed. Buy a scrunchie if you can!! Sweet mama and daughter sewn.“

“Staff were friendly, helpful, and informative. I asked a lot of questions since I'm new to the area and had not tried Caribou Coffee before. The drink was made exactly to my specifications and was very good.
Apple cinnamon pastries are delicious. I took an extra one home with me. Eggs benedict sandwich was okay but less flavorful than expected. The store was very clean and had a comfortable atmosphere.“

“I am now on a low fat diet and it's hard to get a variety

Vegetarian options: There is a decent amount of veggie option send they are quite good

Wheelchair accessibility: Outside seating and a small step to hey instead

Dietary restrictions: Not too many low fat foods options“

“Just moved to the neighborhood and this place is incredible. The folks are super friendly and everything has been delicious. The first time we went, we sat in the dining room and they have a back room with a table of billardettes. It was super cool to see folks playing and learn how it works. My partner is Eritrean and the Awaze Tibbs and a veggie platter were a smash hit. Since then, we've had cheese steaks and espresso drinks. Both were delicious. They roast their own coffee beans and even sold us some. We are also looking forward to the upcoming Eritrean community events they have advertised. Only critique is the bathroom could use some love. It doubles as a storage closet/shower full of cleaning supplies.“

“The food was very on point and the portion sizes was amazing also. good atmosphere and good employees.“

“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.“

“One of the best coffee shops in town. They serve only the highest quality coffee and they are experts at their craft. Stopped in today for a macchiato and it was spot on perfect and reasonably priced. And a bonus: they partner with Rustica for sundry bakery items. That gingersnap won’t last long. Snap.“

“Less of a coffee shop and more of a hangout place for Christians they only take donations and you don't have to pay anything for what you order, it takes a bit to get your drink but it's very good. I'm not religious personally but I find it very relaxing to just come in and study, work it just mess around on my phone. Don't come here thinking it's just a coffee shop, all the workers at least when I've been here have been very kind.“

“Mim’s Cafe is a FIND! Great atmosphere, friendly workers and our schwarma was delicious! The mocha and chai were on point too. We will be back!“

“This is not my normal Caribou I stop at; only once in a while do we stop at this location. We always receive great service. Fast, courteous, and the order is ALWAYS correct! This time, I forgot to order my kiddo's cake pop and the barista added it to the order with no problem when we got to the drive thru window! She did not make me feel it was a hassle adding it last minute even though they were busy! Thank you ?“

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