50 Best Coffee Shops near Vadnais Heights

“Love me some Starbucks! This location is fast. Place my order on their app and rarely wait long unless there are big orders in front of me. They don't make my beverages until I'm in the drive thru and I'm grateful for it. Nothing sucks more than watered down drinks. 5 stars at this location!“

“I usually grab a coffee and a treat for my daughter before we begin our target shopping. Past couple times their espresso machine has been down <sobs quietly>, so I've chosen iced decaf coffee instead. Staff is friendly too.- I would recommend this store having a decaf cold brew on hand because hot decaf on ice isn't the tastiest.“

“Delicious coffee and baked goods! Our team loves picking up from your Cafe! 💫“

“Super cute, great decor, lovely staff, 10/10 would go again“

“Great service, really good food, and the drinks were my favorite part!“

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

“The service is amazing and the food is so delicious! I love the ham torta sandwich. :) Definitely check them out!“

“The owner is just WONDERFUL! Great service and very personable- a Saint Paul icon.“

“Always love stopping by mudslinger's while out running errands. The only downside is that the line can get long in the mornings, especially on weekends. Despite this, they work quickly and I love supporting a small local business!

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids cocoa“

“I love this place!!! The service is amazing, the staff is happy, the pastries are to die for, and the coffee is absolutely fabulous!!! I've had quite a few of Luminarys specialty coffee drinks and all have been exquisite. Today, I noticed a new iced peanut butter chocolate coffee beverage, and had to give it a try. I was pretty sure this wasn't going to be my favorite drink and I was so so wrong. I'm amazed once again and the iced peanut butter chocolate coffee mix might be my new fave!!! 😋 ❤️🤟“

“Grab A Quick cup of Decentable of coffee“

“Only been here twice so far. Absolutely loved the biscuit egg, sausage sandwich. Absolutely loved the breakfast burrito. Great flavor in both. Great conversation with the owner. The burrito looked small but picking it up, it was heavy!! Great flavor, I'm thinking the beans were well seasoned. Didn't get the chorizo spicy flavor, but that's ok. I could see the meat in the wrap. They know how to make a killer biscuit. It was light, fluffy, and very flavorful. I hear their Cuban is supposed to be good, probably what I will try next.“

“We love this place for the great seasonal beverage menu.“

“They make a delicious latte!“

“I recently bought an espresso machine and a nice grinder and wanted to find a local-ish roaster to buy beans from regularly. We tried two others and weren't blown away but then I did some research and found Roots Roasting. We bought their Classic Espresso beans online and it took me maybe 2 or 3 shots to dial in and when I did—wow! We liked them so much that today we drove from Somerset, WI just to buy a fresh bag and to try their coffee in the shop. I went with a spiced mocha and my wife got "something fun" and they are both absolutely delicious! We will be back and we will continue to order beans online if we can't make the drive. Really welcoming environment and the neighborhood is nice too. Great job Roots Roasting!“

“Some of the best espresso drinks I’ve ever had in the cities !“

“Good coffee. Great mission.“

“I can honestly say this was one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. The aroma was rich and inviting, setting the perfect tone before even the first sip. The flavor was perfectly balanced — smooth, bold, and incredibly satisfying without any bitterness. You could taste the quality of the beans and the care that went into brewing it.
The texture was silky, and the aftertaste left a warm, pleasant finish that made me want to savor every moment. Whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a true enthusiast, this is the kind of coffee that makes an impression. Absolutely 5 stars — I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“I enjoy "mining" the $2 bins for hidden treasures!“

“Great Ethiopian coffee! It's my "go to" place every weekday morning!“

“Fantastic mocha. For a mocha, this had depths of flavor and the coffee was a delicious compliment to the chocolate. This place was busy on a Sunday morning. But was worth the little bit of a wait. There is very little seating, so I grabbed my coffee to go.“

“I visited st. Paul and had to come visit. Great food, great service, great ownership, wonderful cats, and a great city“

“Cute, cozy neighborhood staple in a trendy, busy part of Saint Paul. They have an expansive breakfast menu with lots of sweet and savory options, and their drink menu is impressive as well! I tried the ube matcha iced latte, which was delicious, sweet, and smooth. Additionally (not pictured) I got their seasonal pumpkin smoothie which was sweet, nourishing, and had interesting fresh ingredients (sweetened with fresh dates!) Their lemon ricotta pancakes are huge, served with a generous amount of lemon curd and impeccably fresh blueberries. The texture is great: soft but not underdone, fluffy without being too heavy. We came at a busy time, so while drinks came out quickly, the food was a tad slow. All in all, though, I'd love to come back and try more menu options!“

“I went here for the first time today. The service was amazing, the coffee and food was great, and they have a cute little merchandise area. I will definitely be going again!“

“First bluegrass jam today. People and space fantastic. I’ll be back.“

“Fantastic coffee, incredible apple fritters. Staff were kind and attentive. They have a large coffee roasting oven behind the counter, so the entire place smells heavenly. Only one bathroom though, so don’t drink your coffee too quick.

Will be back, and likely will be purchasing coffee beans from them in the future.“

“This is my favorite caribou in all the franchises and may be my favorite cafe on grand avenue! And it’s all because of the wonderful staff at this location :) Everyone is kind and engaging, it feels like a community experience walking in, plus I get a great dark chocolate mocha and a bit of tasty breakfast.“

“I needed a great cup of coffee on a cold rainy afternoon & stopped into Caribou where I know the coffee is always perfect. Never a disappointment. Greeted with a smile and fun time guessing the trivia question of the day. Always wonderful at caribou!“

“I don't frequent this caribou since it's pretty out of the way for me, but in the 5ish times I've stopped here over the past couple years, I've always received a high-quality drink, the staff have always been friendly, and the environment has always been well maintained when I'm there! I wish my local caribou was half as consistent!“

“Loud music and strong perfume scent, might be headache inducing for some people, so if this applies to you, might be better to get a takeout. Skip the pistachio milk bright green cake piece and go straight for honeycomb cheese pastry with honey on top, it is so good! Aden tea is good, strong and smooth but no cardamom flavour. They offer table games which is nice and makes this spot very welcoming to sit and play with friends while enjoying a hot beverage but unfortunately they don’t have enough pawns and dice for multiple tables to play same game which defeats the purpose.“

“I really love this location but the young lady who was making my cooler got kinda snappy with the cashier because I wanted extra ice.
Golden blonde hair with pony tail and hair band 5’3 - 5’5 thin build caucasian
Female. Other than that perfect“

“Came in to get some work done and left with a smile. The staff were so kind and helpful—it honestly made my day.

Edit 7/19: I was very talkative and took up the time of the baristas while they made drinks this busy morning. They were so kind and accommodating! I don’t always read the room properly. So I appreciate it. Thanks to the ‘bou!“

“Very comfortable environment! Folks that work there are excellent with customers, they are kind, attentive and you can tell they want to be there, too.“

“Great people work there. Always welcome you“

“Starbucks made a big wrong move opening next to Caribou. Specially, the one in Lino Lakes that one is the most premium Caribou I have ever been to. They’re always busy lines of cars to the drive-through. Also, Caribou knows how to hire quality beautiful women compared to Starbucks The people at Caribou move like they took a 10 shot espresso but with a smile wow I love going to Caribou plus it always looks slow every time I pass Starbucks to go to Caribou“

“The owner is just WONDERFUL! Great service and very personable- a Saint Paul icon.“

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“

“Awesome place, awesome people!“

“I love this location. Always a steady line of people coming through. The service is really great, and you can tell they have a great rapport with their regulars. Can be a little slow to get your drink so I don’t recommend if you’re in a rush. The chia pudding is made in house and came with the freshest blueberries. I like to get the Fogwood special when I come here which is a tea latte. Plenty of tables with outlets.“

“The staff were so incredibly helpful with recommendations and letting me try samples. I'd highly recommend checking this place out, the selection was fantastic.“

“The staff is very helpful and friendly! I’m always greeted with a smile! Today I even got a beverage recommendation and it was awesome!“

“Great as always!“

“A convenient array of staples for an excellent price and the owner is super nice and cares so much about the community.“

“Best lattes ever!!!! Love the honey vanilla latte with cold foam ❤️❤️❤️“

“Great spot to sit and take a beat. The coffee is fantastic. The seasonal specials are delicious. They have a solid selection of sweet and savory pastries. If you’re feeling decadent, get a Carmella with oat milk and slowly melt into a puddle!“

“First time and it was delicious“

“I stopped to purchase a bag of beans. The staff person was delightful, friendly, efficient and took care to make sure that I really wanted the decaf that I had selected. The labeling is somewhat subtle and they made sure that i knew that it was decaf. I really appreciate that attention to detail.“

“Savannah is the best! She helped me out when an attempted second date 🕺🏿took a turn for the crazy & kept me safe from a thief who likes to steal cups & spoons. (Inside joke here, but true). Her quick thinking did the trick & I am eternally grateful! Thank you Savannah for saving the day and for the tea☕️. It was especially wonderful!!“
