Coffee Shops near Columbia Heights

“This is a great coffee shop. They always give you the extra shot of espresso in your lattes (the best) and they have a nice loyalty program for every 10 coffees you buy. They are also really involved in the community which is cool and they have things for families to join in on regularly. Me and my dog walk up here every Saturday morning for the banana bread and a latte.“

“We are so lucky to have this beautiful place in Uptown. The hummus is entirely magical. And the food is delicious. We can’t wait to try it all!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a clear ramp on the side of the building giving easy access to the building“

“This adorable cafe blends in so well with the neighborhood I almost missed it. So glad I didn’t, though! The space is clean and tidy and there are a few tables to sit and enjoy a beverage. When it got busier, staff brought out additional seating to accommodate. I enjoyed my chai tea latte and the message on the milk foam added a fun little twist. Street parking only, but it wasn’t too hard to find a spot. Would visit again and definitely worth the trip!“

“I ordered a king cake to take in to work- without a doubt the best one I’ve had, it melts in your mouth! The staff was exceptionally friendly and offered an extra cup of frosting. Great environment if you’re just looking for a place in Minneapolis to sit down with a cup of coffee and a treat too!“

“Run, don’t walk, to The Briar! Wow this place was so special (and dare I say the date capital of Minneapolis at night?)! This place has great cocktails, delicious food, the best atmosphere, and friendliest staff! It was such a treat to go to this small spot with two great friends and enjoy some sandwiches, chips, and soups. Absolutely loved this spot!“

“Heather's in Minneapolis is a favorite. It's that neighborhood joint everyone wants with great burgers, sandwiches, and salads, a great kids menu and twisty soft serve or cookies to keep the wee beings happy. But also that cozy date night spot with amazing daily specials and lovely grown up desserts on the patio.In practice, we usually order delivery (via Toast) and there's always a little tension between a dinner order (because THOSE SPECIALS!) or weekend brunch. We were able to do both today because they offered their daily special as part of their holiday brunch menu: lemon blueberry pancakes AND the ham special with asparagus and cheesy potatoes were both just amazing. ?Ordered pastries for week day breakfasts while I was at it but the delivery person missed the second bag or something. They made it right immediately - barely hung up the phone before the doorbell rang and a smiling, kind Heather's staffer was on my porch with a bag full of goodies. They just do EVERYTHING right.“

“Stopped in to Cosmic Coffee the other morning on a whim, and believe I just may have found my new favorite coffee shop in NE. Cosmic Coffee feels like an old school coffee shop, the ones that were about people connecting with people. Actual real live PEOPLE!!! Not only was the coffee delicious- expertly prepared by Dusty-but it was so refreshing to be around people laughing, conversing and connecting not just working away on laptops. If you want a great cup of coffee in a cozy, warm space of brick, wood and eclectic decor that does not feel like a sterile white hipster tech haven, please please give Cosmic a visit! And I recommend a lavender mocha!!“

“First time going and I received the wrong sandwich. I asked twice what it was but I couldn’t remember everything in the sandwich I actually ordered so it’s on me for not getting the correct one. All in all, food was good and so was the coffee. Fast service, good food, and friendly faces made the experience worth going back again!“

“The tea was amazing, it was very nice to have tea with my parents and have a conversation. The prices were a bit high for tea, but I think the overall experience of it and quality of tea is definitely worth it if you enjoy tea. The Ambiance was okay, I did go during a weekend so it was busy. Highly recommend going during a weekday if you want a little more less chaos, peace, and quiet. I will say the customer service was okay too, I'm definitely NOT a tea expert and it was my first time here, so I wasn't sure what to order or how to. When I told the employee about this, they didn't really help me understand how their tea system/menu works and what tea is best for certain situations or taste and health benefits. So we were kinda just forced to guess on one and hope it was good, which luckily it was.“

“This was by far the best coffee shop experience I have ever had. I'm not much of a coffee drinker. The staff was patient and fantastic at their recommendation. It was so delicious I had to go back every day while I was visiting. The space was quite comfortable to sit and chat with my friend. Highly recommend the Busy Beaver - tastes like a graham cracker.Dietary restrictions: Lactose intolerance“

“Found this little gem this morning with a friend and I think it’s my new go-to coffee shop with other moms when we have to bring our kiddos! As a mom of a toddler, it can be really hard to expect my son to stay sitting while I try to enjoy a coffee with a friend but this place has incredible coffee and food, incredible customer service, and an amazing play area to let the kiddos roam while you enjoy time with a friend!! Absolutely will be returning!“

“Wow. What a great experience. Our server Priscilla was amazing. She turned around what could have been a disappointing evening due to a longer than normal wait for our food by offering incredible service which is increasingly rare. The creme brulee was the life-changing. So good.“

“Such good ice cream. It made my mouth orgasm. It was awkward because everyone around me was wondering why I was moaning so much while eating my ice dream. Then I sneezed and shot ice cream out my nose. That is how you orgasm out of your face.“

“My daughter and I stopped in with no reservation while it was pretty busy and were seated right away. Our waitress was awesome and the service was fast. I got the Pork Belly & Biscuit- very delicious! My daughter got the Chicken Biscuit and she loved it! She isn’t a fan of honey but loved the hot honey that came with her dish ( she had it on the side to make sure she would like it). I was also impressed the coffee drink selection. Such great varieties! I had the Pistachio Cardamom which was so delicious. Also ordered the March special to go which was the Lucky Green Dream Latte- very delicious as well! Definitely stopping again when we are back in the area!“

“Some of their menu items are misleading. The photo shows boba but doesn't include it. When I brought this up I was told that the photo doesn't exactly represent the drink. That doesn't even make sense? That's what photos are for. So after driving to Dinky Town to try Bober Tea I will say it makes me not want to come back. The donuts on the other hand were amazing and fresh. They were warm, slightly crisp on the outside and so soft on the inside with lots of flavor. Just a warning to ask about your drink beforehand otherwise you'll end up with something you didn't want.“

“Dangling a 5-star rated place in front of a Yelp Elite? Especially a drive thru coffee kiosk? I just couldn't resist checking out Mudslingers. This place is SO cute, and it's so easy to stop by anytime you find yourself in or around Roseville. I got a small hot Buttercup drink with an extra shot of espresso. Delicious! There are a ton of options (and I didn't get a pastry this time) so I'll definitely have to come back and try more of their tasty drinks.“

“Super cute café with tasty food. Vibe: Young, hip café, super cute décor, varied seating options Service: The person taking our order was super nice and helpful, food came out fairly quick although for some items the name was called out and for some they were just left on the pick up counter so best to stay by the counter. Food: Really good overall. I had an egg sandwich with siracha mayo and Canadian bacon that was super tasty and not too spicy. Also got a DELICIOUS strawberry banana smoothie (seriously, not your average straw banana smoothie). Also had several bites of my sister's quiche which was EXCELLENT, the crust was SO good. Also got a cookie that was very yummy. I would highly recommend Carma Coffee and would return if in the area again!“

“I have been exploring Roseville and St Paul as I'll be relocating there soon. Man was I happy to run into this place. For me this is how a coffee shop should be. Dark wood, cozy eclectic vibe, supporting the local community, a good variety of coffee/espresso based drinks, toss in some fresh baked goods and snacks if you need them and you have a great place for good conversations, reading a book, or just sitting in the corner alone like me and enjoying the moment.Parking: Extra large parking lot. No problems there.“

“Kruse Market is wonderful! We enjoyed the Rainbow Bowl, What’s Wrong with Basic toast, Masala Chai Tea, and Blueberry Hills coffee. All were fantastic! A friend ordered the G.O.A.T. toast (on gluten-free bread) and let me take a nibble - divine! The retail side had a ton of great merch (those basil olives!!! *chef’s kiss!*) that we also stocked up on. And my family was pleasantly surprised to be the recipients of fresh takeout pastries and some Milkjam ice cream! We had such a fantastic time! There are ample outlets for the remote worker, and enough choices to satisfy all kinds of palates and dietary needs. I can’t wait to go back for dinner!“

“My favorite neighborhood ice cream shop! They serve Chocolate Shoppe ice cream from Wisconsin and it is the perfect creamy-but-not-too-fatty tasting ice cream. The flavors switch out a lot so there is variety, but my favorite (The S#$t Just Got Serious) is always there. The owner and team are friendly and I always leave smiling!“

“Fawkes Alley is a delightful coffee shop. My favorite drink is the Lab Latte--iced lavender latte with honey cold foam. The two young men who work Saturdays are incredibly friendly and personable. My go-to weekend coffee spot before or after a walk through Loring Park :)“

“ordered online on way there last minute on drive from out of town to a destination far away ?⛄ sure beats fast food quality a little more expensive expected because vegetarian/vegan but it was really good food okay? that's how I'm justifying it,and i wanna support places like this with quality customers the kind you want to hug because they're so nice and friendly. oh on the phone the girl i was talking to was very knowledgeable about the menu with great suggestions for my and my friend on a trip ya know how girls take awhile to decide sometimes? well this worked great ??? was able to get order in before we even got there and was practically no wait because of our good timing 30min away when picking up our order the restaurant wasn't cram packed so you could still get a table but was definitely full of hungry people in the know about the quality veggiefoods and the atmosphere was nice people like a bar ? where they know your name and share their stories over a delicious ?? ? snack (cheers) anyways I'll have to return soon before they run out of my favorite ?❤️Vegetarian options: they have burgers fries salads Tacos a whole lot more with fun namesDietary restrictions: okay so they're really good at vegan options and dietary restriction just ask or let em know and they'll have a yummy solution for your hunger ❤️Parking: spots were loaded but i still found a space for a shortstop and then opened it back up in 15m or less just grabbed my food and went but i know parking ?️ within walking distance was there i just wanted to be as close as possible since was picking up only... probably 3 ? pickup drop off spots front side and then parking around back or sidesteet people being polite to leave the closest ones for the people being there the shortest time is really nice ?? and everyone staying longer to really enjoy taking a "brutally mild"? walk to the door from the better parking in back ? some have a hard time going as far as the mailbox is what i mean but anyways yes there's parking“

“My family and I recently went to luminary and loved the place! It is cozy and we liked the theme. We tried several pastries (cinamon swirl, chocolate raspberry cone, and a chocolate croissant) and they were all delicious. We also all loved the coffee we got! It has been hard to find a spot with good coffee as of late and this spot was definitely one to save with great drinks and a great experience. The only con is there isn't a ton of seating and the place, seeing as it is so good, gets busy.“

“The staff are friendly. Their banh mi are delicious! The decor is clean, bright and inviting. Their croissants are yummy but the filling was very minimal in terms of croissant to filling ratio. In my opinion, their fries are amazing!! Taste, texture, crispiness, just everything about it. I'd say they are the best fries I've ever had - some days they're lacking a little on the salt, but that's an easy fix. Please, please don't ever change the brand/product or the way you prepare/make these fries!! Highly recommend this place, especially trying the fries, just don't go during lunch time. It gets very busy (brooklyn park location)!!“

“Cool coffee shop. Huge seating area with plenty of comfy chairs and couches to enjoy your food or coffee. Old fashion style donut was really good, highly recommend. Cold brew was solid as well. Baristas were friendly and service was very fast. Definitely recommend this place for a good spot to read, study, work, whatever you need. There is no parking available and you’ll need to find street parking if visiting.“

“I had such a serene experience here on Easter! The soothing music, the flow of the fish tank, and seeing people actually interact with one another created a tranquil atmosphere. Though the menu was a bit overwhelming in its design, our tea barista was incredibly kind and she provided helpful explanations every step of the way. We felt attentively listened to. I would definitely recommend this place“

“Absolutely love WildFlyer!! My drinks are delicious, the staff is friendly and fast, and I recently discovered they have a loyalty program.Definitely one of my top choices when I need a good remote work spot <3Dietary restrictions: Oat and Almond milk as substitutions“

“I was feeling adventurous so I ordered the Bluebeards Ghost and It was glorious! Slightly salty, a little spicy, and the Vanilla brought a subtle sweetness. I ordered it a second time and added sugar and totally ruined my drink, don't be like me ?Kid-friendliness: My daughter always gets a vanilla steamer when we come here. It makes her feel like a big girl which is pretty cute.“

“I went here with a friend last week for a coffee date. I LOVE Roots roasting! They change their specials every now and then and today I had a Cozy Chai with Oatmilk. It was super yummy! The coffee shop has 5 or 6 tables and a small bar to sit at so there is room to visit and it is worth the wait! Love this place!!“

“I love Rafiki! The owners are so welcoming and intentional about knowing their customers. They remembered my name after the first time they met me even with weeks apart from my second visit! Great large room for bigger meetings and small tables for individual workspace. Unique food & drink options that are similar to what you can find at any coffee shop along with their own unique spin on drinks as well. Try the African tea, it’s delicious and well spiced!Parking: There is a free lot adjacent to the space, but is shared with other businesses so at times it can be difficult to find street parking that is close enough.“

“What a gem! The coffee is great and the record selection is unbelievable. I found two holy grail records for very fair prices for how good they sound, plus a lot of other great stuff. The barista was friendly and helpful, guiding me in choosing a delicious latte. The Satanic theme is great, just enough to freak out the normal folk.Parking: Plenty of spaces within a block.“

“This place is so welcoming and great service ! Everytime I go there I plan on just a shake. But as I chat with Jami she is so loving and caring...I can't leave without their yummy bagels and then they seem to.have something new..like those cute lil adorable pies so yup couple of those too.Everything i have had there was so good and don't feel guilty for its packed with protein. So if you have never checked this place out give it a try.I Promise you won't regret and no matter who is working you will feel a very warm welcome ? !There are still are many things I want to try.The menu us huge!Parking: Right in front of front door!Kid-friendliness: I have seen many kids activities there offered.Wheelchair accessibility: I'm sure anyone with wheelchair ♿️ would have plenty of room.Also handicap ♿️ parking in lot.“

“The iced americano was excellent; their espresso is very good! This morning was my first breakfast sandwich, and it won't be my last. Brioche hamburger sized bun with egg and choice of cheese. Add ons include Dijonaise and Giardiniera as well as Ham. My ham, egg, American cheese, and dijonaise was awesome; not greasy at all! They take a couple of minutes to make fresh, but worth the wait.“

“I love restaurants with a mission! I want to use my money to support small businesses and nonprofits when I can, which was part of the reason that I was so excited when Wildflyer Coffee opened. As a Social Worker who works within the field of youth who are experiencing homelessness and sexual exploitation, I'm so thrilled to see opportunities like Wildflyer for them. Simply "getting a job" is rarely enough to lift someone out of homelessness. However, professional development skills and case management services on top of a paycheck is a different kind of solution of the crisis of youth homelessness. And not only is the mission amazing, the coffee and breakfast treats are actually GOOD! I'm not choking down coffee that I dislike, because I know that it is going to a good cause. It's a win-win. Great coffee. Great cause.“

“I wish everything up on the hill were as perfect as Nina's. On a weekday morning this place is packed with people from all walks of life. A lot of students park here and take up tables just with them and their laptops which is my only gripe. Prices are reasonable. Be prepared to wait a bit for drinks because it is very popular.“

“My boyfriend and I decided to check out a new coffee shop, and we came across Cuppa Java on Google Maps. When we first entered the building, I immediately loved the vibe, and there are many cozy corners with plenty of outfits to get some work done. The employees were extremely friendly, and I ordered and ate one of the best bagels I've ever had.There is a gender neutral bathroom with ADA accessibility which I highly appreciated.I will definitely be coming back!“

“I stopped by last Saturday, and I got a scone and a Cranes in the Sky iced coffee, and the combination was AMAZING! The prices were very reasonable for the hand-crafted beverage and pastry! I also loved the ambiance of the coffee shop, the outdoor patio, and the clothing selection! I will definitely come back!“

“the coffee is amazing and they make the most interesting drink combinations for their seasonal drinks. I never thought peaches and coffee would go well together but it's delicious. they also make adorable latte art and are very involved in neighborhood events!“

“What a treat! Cafe Astoria offers an exquisite blend of immaculate vibes, tasty food, and unique beverages, both hot and cold. I highly recommend the Athena Omelet Wrap and Mexican Mocha. Seating was surprisingly ample! We were expecting to have to wait on a Saturday morning, but their spacious interior and friendly staff made for a very smooth and pleasant experience. Hope to be back!“

“Love their coffee & matcha! Have been to this location many times & the staff is always so friendly. Unfortunately that is a rare occurrence at some of the twin cities coffee shops ? Had a good time chatting with the employee working! Thank you SK!“

“We’re no stranger to Cardigan. They catered 200 DELICIOUS donuts for our wedding! These guys are the real deal.Amazing donut delivery service! Ordering system is fantastic - you can pick flavors to gift or have them select (or a combo!) I’ve sent them as little surprise gifts to so many people over the years - just to perk up someone’s day. You can include a free message. I hope they never change and I wish them many years of continued success!“

“If you love tea, this place is a haven! If you don't, visit this store and you will leave loving tea. They have little jars you can smell the different leaves and blends as well as an opportunity to buy a cup of a small selection to try.Wheelchair accessibility: It's a small shop, though it's laid out in an open manner. My partner was able to use her chair without issues.“

“We had a birthday party there last night and all the kids had a blast. The staff was awesome. Before we even left, many of the kids were asking about going back. I forgot to get a picture of them to post, unfortunately. It was a huge hit and a great alternative to the same old birthday destinations.“

“Ok what a cool little coffee shop in NE. It’s a very minimalist concept but the vibes were ?. I’m normally a big light person and it got a bit dark in here in the afternoon, but it was fitting for the atmosphere of this place so I didn’t mind too much. The music is played from records so the barista was changing out the albums the whole time.My matcha was really good. It came to like $9 so not super cheap, but I do enjoy a good homemade drink :)Metered street parking around unless you walk across the bridge for the free parking in the neighborhood.“

“I spend too much money at Northern Coffeeworks. I'm a sucker for the expresso drinks here, they are amazing, some of the best in town. The brew coffee seems to be hit or miss sometimes, or maybe I got fancy taste now? The vibe is great for remote work. Lots of wooden tables (not the most comfy) and open space. This means some days, if you arrive at 9am, good luck getting a table.... Or even on the weekends, you'll be fighting folks who bring over donuts from Bakers Wife. Shop has pastries from Marc Heu (whose pastries are just meh, like why does everything have to have a coat of sugar over it, including plain croissant or a savory ham/cheese croissant). Also, why is the orange juice $7 dollars? I wished they have food like the pre-pandemic days.“

“This coffee is some of the best in Minneapolis, and the croissants are to DIE for. The atmosphere is so cool-- skater merch, art everywhere, just excellent!! The staff is also very nice and the service is great. I love this place so much <3“

“Best coffee in Minneapolis. Great pour overs made from well-sourced, beautifully roasted beans.Nice atmosphere - plants and light and openness. It's worth the trip even if you're just looking for some great beans and nothing else.But really - it's worth having your pour over in a mug, sitting back, and taking a breath and relaxing for a bit“

“I stopped in today and ordered two Poke bowls and slushy. The whole experience was great. Quick service, great quality, friendly staff, very clean and cute decor. We will certainly be coming back ALOT!!! Also I highly recommend the kiwi cheese slushy.“

“Dan the owner is Dan the man.Personally place key West in my top 5 coffee spots in Minneapolis, and second for sandwiches only beaten out by my nostalgic love for caffreys sandwiches.Great place to stop if you are nearby and need food or coffee. Definitely also would recommend going out of the way to stop in as well.“
