Top 5 Cafes in Minnesota

218 MN-61, Grand Marais, MN 55604, United States

“Instead of Starbucks, I wish I could get my cold brew from Java Moose every morning. But unfortunately, I was only a tourist in the area. The staff are more than friendly. My cold brew was exactly how I like it every morning. We had hot Turkey breakfast sandwiches and loved it. I highly recommend the sandwich. Their chocolate chip cookies were scrumptious 😋. The cozy cottage style decor was cool. I also bought a cup from them since I found it unique.”

“Cozy spot that works perfect for working remotely. I'm always looking for new coffee shops and this was nice. I treated myself to an afternoon hot chai latte. Clean. Great service. Nice atmosphere.”

769 Cleveland Ave S, St Paul, MN 55116, United States

“I don't drink coffee so I don't myself in coffee shops often. This one is easily one of my favorites, though. I typically come here to meet up with friends or get something to go. Most recently I was catching up with a friend and got a vanilla chai tea and a buttered croissant (there were several baked goods available [donuts, muffins, etc.]). I got my order "for here" so I received it on nice plates. The tea was the perfect temperature and the croissant hit the spot! Staff were incredibly welcoming and I've never had a bad experience. I'm thankful that Quixotic is my local coffee shop and I look forward to finding more reasons to visit. Easy 5 stars from me!”

“This was our first time going to this Cafe. I love little diners like this one. Great atmosphere with great diner food. My husband and I had breakfast items and our friend had shrimp and fries. It was all very good. You can also buy meat products here.”

125 Main St, Wanamingo, MN 55983, United States

“Every time we happen to come to this town...we always have to stop in to Area 57. The place is welcoming and comforting. We can't get enough of their food and coffee. They usually have lunch and supper specials for a good price! You can choose from basic or specialty coffee in a wide variety of flavors. Their pies are to die for and we usually always get one to go! Plus the staff is always friendly making this a great place to stop!”

3440 Bloomington Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55407, United States

“Beats Starbucks by a huge mile. It's not just the coffee that is good and reasonably priced, but the food is also quite excellent. The croissants are freshly baked, some of the best I've had in the US. Also tried the pesto pizza with goat cheese, and it did not disappoint.”

2404 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55405, United States

“Blackened beans Lovely vibes Go in jeans Bring your tribe Great cup of joe!”

110 4th St E, Hastings, MN 55033, United States

“I love this place so much! My bestie lives in the area and told me it was a bucket list item to have coffee with me here. It did NOT disappoint. We each had a coffee flight (yes you read that correctly), four of their iced coffees and they were delicious. The flavors change monthly I believe, but no worries, they all sound delicious. So please stop and enjoy a fantastic cup of coffee, tea or wine and enjoy the ambience of this magical place! Update: I liked it here so much I had to come back and try their Downtowner coffee drink! Nothing but perfection in that cup! Also, since my husband and I came in late, 2:50pm….sorry you guys! We were able to meet Kim and the owner, Nick. Such sweet people who are truly excited to see you walk in the door no matter what time it is. Thanks again you guys for giving us coffee lovers a great cup of love and a fantastic place to enjoy it!”

4208 S 28th Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55406, United States

“This place became an instant fixture of the neighborhood. It has delicious coffee, friendly service, and a warm interior that is great for "WFH." Prices are average for a nice coffee spot, so ~$5 for a latte. The only con is that, despite tons of space, it can fill up around 10 or 11, Fridays especially.”

25346 Main St, Nisswa, MN 56468, United States

“New to the area due to work, found this nice little coffee shop off the main road and it is great! Great, classic little shop with good vibes. The coffee is good, but the scones and baked goods are difficult to beat, especially with the wide range in flavors. Is a bit pricer, but in the range from local/traditional coffeehouses.”

1053 Dale St N Suite 102, St Paul, MN 55117, United States

“The coffee is excellent! The attention is unparalleled! Congratulations on this special and unique place.”

2010 Jefferson Rd Suite C, Northfield, MN 55057, United States

“Tin tea is my favorite spot in town to get a drink! One thing I wish was if they offered seasonal drinks that are caffeine free, some people don't like the caffeine but want to enjoy the fun drinks too! The staff are so kind and the atmosphere is amazing. I love their food as well, I have had a few different kinds of Bahn Mi's and they have all been spectacular, I also love their spring rolls on the weekends! I will always come back to visit this place ♥️”

949 Grand Ave, St Paul, MN 55105, United States

“Amazing food and service. There is huge rush specially during holidays and weekends but hopefully will be little less packed on non peak days. We did take out and everything was packed nicely. We enjoyed our pancakes and coffee outside on a sunny day.”

71 County Rd 120 Suite 400, St Cloud, MN 56303, United States

“Wow, what a great cafe with so many options! I ordered two iced lattes, one honey one lavender, an orange blueberry almond cake and a cardamom bun. The lattes was exquisite, the espresso was not bitter at all, and the flavors were the perfect amount of sweet. The cake was moist and delicious. I would not order the cardamom bun again, just a little dry and I couldn’t finish it. The baristas here are truly artists! Great options for non coffee drinkers as well. They have a large outdoor patio, and good indoor seating. When I went (10am) they were packed (a good sign), and I had to park a little ways away.”

2930 Lyndale Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55408, United States

“cute and spacious with lots of tables. Outlets on both sides of the coffee bar and free wifi, and fun, soft music going on in the background. Gets a little loud/crowded around 11, not overly loud but a bit distracting. There is a kind of strong burning smell, but I stopped noticing it after like 5 minutes. The coffee tasted delicious, flavors are great and its so well made. I like to get the seasonal flights flight, I think either the sTrawberry Shortcake Crunch Latte or the Choco Taco Mocha were my favorites in the summer and the stroopwaffle latte was my favorite fall one..”

7979 Wedgewood Ln N, Maple Grove, MN 55369, United States

“I came here everyday. and I ordered custom drinks. Today, I very upset with the employee. I ask him "Can you try to remake it? Because it is not correct" He said I just make what is on the cup. However, I tried to explain to him that it is not correct. He throw the drink into the trash can and act like really really mad. I am upset with that employee. I hope the manager can training employee again. Thank you!”

1231 Washington St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413, United States

“Hands down, the best latte in Minneapolis! I've been a regular at this incredible coffee shop for months now, and I can honestly say they never fail to impress. Every sip of their lattes feels like liquid gold flowing smoothly down my throat. The baristas here are artists, creating a perfect balance of rich espresso and velvety foam that leaves me craving more with every visit. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff just add to the overall experience. If you're a coffee lover like me, do yourself a favor and give their lattes a try. You won't be disappointed! Thank you, for consistently exceeding my expectations!”

3122 Viking Blvd NW, Oak Grove, MN 55011, United States

“We’ve been there twice now and the food and coffee have been consistently good. Everything tastes homemade. We love the frappes, pancakes, and breakfast burritos. It has a cozy atmosphere and is very clean.”

550 Vandalia St, St Paul, MN 55114, United States

“Wow! Lots of ways to explore coffee...I enjoyed my pour-over along with the staff's readiness to share their knowledge. Pastry was a great accompaniment. Ambience is good for being in a big warehouse kind of space. I can tell they've done a lot of thought into creating a micro ambience in their portion of the huge room.”

25469 Main St, Nisswa, MN 56468, United States

“This is a wonderful coffee shop and cafe in downtown Nisswa. The coffee is good, the smoothies are fresh and delicious (had the classic and lemon berry), and the breakfast sandwiches are high quality and taste great. Highly recommend this stop.”
