Super cozy, I appsalutly adore everything about the store from the paintings on the wall to the different chairs. I came here with my bf and I honestly never felt so calm. I love how they have games that you can play with people. The workers are super sweet and welcoming when we came in and we're very helpful when we asked questions. I would gladly spend the hole day here if I could. The Coffee I got was both really good and super cute.

Amore Coffee has great drinks — I tried the Vienna, a honey cinnamon miel latte, and it was delicious. Cozy, not too sweet, and full of flavor. The space was a bit tight and outlets were hard to find, so not the best for working long hours. Staff wasn’t overly friendly, but service was efficient. Overall, a solid neighborhood coffee spot worth checking out for the drinks.

Best coffee and shop establishment in the Twin Cities

Visited Amore this week and had an exceptional experience! The barista, Ari, was friendly and expertly brewed our Vienna Lattes. Will definitely be returning!

I like going here for the peaceful atmosphere (which is perfect for reading a book). They make delicious coffee and cookies that keep me coming back for more.

Great coffee! Ordered the Real Carmel Mocha, it was delicious. Great service. Breakfast sandwich was ok but doesn't have much flavor. Soup was very good.

Update: It might just be the fact that I am a creature of habit, or it might be that I have literally NEVER had a subpar experience here, but I am amending my earlier review: rather than just being in the top three of Twin Cities coffee shops, I would now place it at the very top of the list. Their creativity in specialized drinks is unmatched and there's nobody with better service. Much love to my other top places, but Amorè has secured the #1 spot.

what follows is my original review:

This is the best coffee shop in the southern side of Saint Paul and one of the top three in the entire Twin Cities. I got a Breve which was one of the most excellent ones I have had in years, and I also got a vegetarian quiche which came with two small slices of toasted French bread and a pat of butter; the quiche was good enough that I could easily see myself eating several.

I'd not been in years but Amore is just as good as I remember, and my growth in my ability to appreciate different qualities of coffee makes it even more evident what a treasure this place is in the community. I walk here at least once or twice a month just because I enjoy the establishment, and whenever I need to meet up with someone but not at my apartment, this is where I choose (especially over something like Starbucks). Not just because I oppose the homogenization of modern society, and because I always try to support small businesses when possible, but because it's genuinely the best public location nearby to meet up with someone. As in my earlier review, the coffee is roasted in house, extremely high quality , the drinks (like lattes, cappuccinos, con miél, etc) are expertly prepared, and there's a lot of good food - not in the variety or volume of a café, but that's an advantage rather than a problem. Amoré is a coffee shop, not a restaurant. I am actually going this afternoon, so I'll take a few pictures.

Vegetarian options: Food menu isn't huge but it's over 90% vegetarian (or can be prepared vegetarian), simply by virtue of it being coffee shop style fare; obviously pastries are vegetarian, and they offer a selection of sandwiches and a daily quiche special (always a vegetarian option available too).

Less common are fully vegan or gluten free options, but they are there.

The quality of the coffee remains excellent, but it appears that the staff may be experiencing some challenges in maintaining a positive customer interaction. While I have never felt unwelcome at this establishment, my most recent visit left me with the impression that the staff members were not particularly enthusiastic about their jobs. It is unfortunate that this has occurred, as it detracts from the overall experience.
