Coffee Shops near Vadnais Heights

“Best Starbucks in the world! Not just because of the coffee, but because of each and every employee that works as a team and are all Minnesota nice! Totally making my day today ! My kids even got a special surprise today!! Quack, quack ! ???thank you so much. My coffees are perfect every time!“

“Look, when I was thinking about this review, I really didn't want to call any employee out because usually when I get called out at my job, it's usually to comment on my "laziness" or "writing Yelp reviews on the job," but that is neither here nor there. Today, this employee was overwhelming deserving of a shout out. Going for a quick coffee run before work at the Starbucks in target, I was blown away, absolutely blown away by Ajah (I think I spelled her name correctly, forgive me if not). Ajah crushed it in all aspects of Starbucks duties. Not only did she take orders, make all the drinks, warm up all the food, clean the utensils, know other customers by name, but she also apologized and thanked me for my patience for my wait time which was not long at all. Heck, she mopped the floors, put away carts, and I'm pretty sure she was going to use her lunch break to walk the Target dog that's in their advertisements. She was tremendous and the other patrons thought so as well. As she finished up a customers drink she offered up a better way to mix in something and the customer said and I quote, "you are amazing!" Indeed she was amazing. It should be noted that when I paid, I asked her if I could leave a tip as here wasn't an option. She politely explained that she couldn't accept tips which is bananas on so many levels. Like, she was that phenomenal of an employee going above and beyond...for no tips? That is unbelievable of her and she clearly deserves a raise. My only hope is that I can be as efficient and skillful as her one day and perhaps, get better reviews for myself. Regardless, she made it evident today that she is an incredible employee and this was the best Starbucks experience ever. My drink was good. 5/5.“

“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!“

“Amore Coffee in Saint Paul is my favorite local gem. The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and exceptional coffee make it the perfect spot to unwind. Plus, their pastries are always fresh and delicious. Highly recommend for a relaxing coffee experience!Parking: It depends at what time you visit this place.“

“This has become my favorite coffee shop. Run by a wonderful family. Excellent coffee and other beverages. The spicy Mexican hot chocolate is terrific. I also enjoy the latte and the cappuccino. Baked goods are divine - I especially love the oat bread and the banana bread. Although I have not sampled yet there are also breakfast and lunch items that I can see are popular. Compact seating area that is comfortable and the noise level moderate.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“What a great place!!! I have been twice, coffee drinks were great - and the live music was so fun. Shows are all ages - so we've brought our 10 & 12 year old and they've had a great time! Thanks for giving the Twin Cities a COOL place for families to hang out without costing $$$“

“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.“

“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“

“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)!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Nestled in the heart of Midway, Workhorse Coffee Bar proved to be a hidden gem awaiting discovery. My daughter and I stumbled upon this quaint establishment on a crisp morning, seeking respite from the bustling streets outside. What we found exceeded our expectations and left us longing for more.Upon entering, we were greeted by the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the inviting warmth of the cozy interior. The ambiance was a harmonious blend of modern chic and rustic charm, with exposed brick walls adorned with local artwork, complemented by the soft glow of pendant lights hanging from the ceiling.As we approached the counter, we were met with friendly smiles from the baristas, whose passion for their craft was evident in every cup they served. After perusing the menu, we decided to indulge in some breakfast bites to accompany our coffee. The selection was diverse, featuring both sweet and savory options crafted with care using locally sourced ingredients.I opted for the chocolate cookie, a masterpiece of simplicity and flavor. My daughter grabbed a gluten free cookie that made her smile light up the room.Workhorse Coffee Bar is more than just a place to grab a cup of coffee; it's a haven of warmth, community, and culinary delight. Whether you're seeking a quick caffeine fix or a leisurely breakfast bite with loved ones, I wholeheartedly recommend paying a visit to Workhorse Coffee Bar. You won't be disappointed.“

“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!“

“This place is tucked away near United Hospital between 5th and 7th in StP. Since my partner doesn't care for breakfast food for breakfast, the diversity of LA Fusion's menu was perfect for him. Their full menu was available at 9am.Samosas, Kenyan bowls, crepes, burgers, salads, smoothies, quesadillas, lattes, breakfast sandwiches, omelettes oh my!ordered the beef samosas. My partner ordered the chicken quesadillas. Both came out within minutes.Three crispy samosas with a jerk dipping sauce (you have a choice of several different options)YUM! Well stuffed full of beef with a perfect crunch.The quesadilla was huge. He could only finish half and took the rest home for lunch.Very clean place. Huge drink menu. This was our second time visiting and look forward to exploring more of the menu.Parking: The paid lot has spaces designated for LA Fusion at no charge.“

“Fantastic little coffee shop with a great atmosphere, delicious menu and neat merchandise all at reasonable pricing and easy in and out access! The service there has always been phenomenal and prompt with a friendly greeting. The cinnamon roll twists are deliciously simple and my Redbull infused flavor drink is great. We've purchased a few coffee cups from there as well with neat branding. Will definitely be back!“

“Had such a great visit here today! We were able to visit with the kitties without a reservation on a Tuesday morning. The kitties seemed happy and healthy and the environment was clean and seemed well cared for. There were so many lovely cats and it was fun to spend time with them. One climbed into my lap to snuggle for a bit wich I loved. The staff was super friendly and one of the kitties literally jumped into the staff members arms for a cuddle during the hour change over wich I thought was adorable. Obviously the staff here care very much for the cats and the cats love them back.Coffee was delicious as well. Will definitely be back ?“

“This is a coffee shop, not a full restaurant and they make some really nice coffee drinks with ingredients you don’t find at chain coffee places, like bitters and molasses and cardamom. The speciality coffee drinks are around $6-8 dollars but are worth it. More worth it than paying that for something at the Mermaid place.They have seating, but it is a small place, located inside of an entire building with other things in it. The building recently put in an old time arcade, so we went to Five Watt and had delicious coffee drinks, I think one was called Bee Sting if I recall. Then there were old pinball machines from the 80s and 90s around too in the hall areas of the building. The barista who was working at Five Watt was great. He was really nice and their speciality coffee drinks are amazing.“

“Kid and I stopped by before school drop off, and will be back! Great, friendly service. Nice space. I got a latte (hot), kid had a mango smoothie, and we shared mini croissants. Excited to have a family-owned coffee + boba (and more) shop in the neighborhood.“

“The atmosphere feels like home. Comfortable, light music in the background, a true community space.Conveniently located on the corner if University/Dale.The Marley is perfect for warming the vocal chords before a show. A favorite is the Electrical Lady; sure to get you through any Zoom meeting.“

“I usually get to Dunn Bros. on Saturday mornings to get a cup of French Java or another dark roast. The building is old, but has character. Art for sale on walls, cafe table, chairs, an old stage, and even a coffee bean roaster in the corner to admire. The locals are always there chatting, studying, or killing time. The workers are always smiling, friendly, quick to assist, and get the orders right. The place gets its fair share of interesting people though and that can make for some entertainment.“

“This place has it all, amazing food (give the quiche a try, you won’t be disappointed) the owner was very funny and easy to talk to and the other patrons were delightful to talk to as well. I highly recommend this place and will continue coming back!“

“Very cute place, I got the St. Paddy's latte 16oz (coconut and dark chocolate) and it was so yummy! A singular woman was up front taking and making orders, and did her job well! The pastries looked huge and delicious but I haven't gotten one yet :)“

“I ordered a sugar free decaf skim coffee drink and it was among the best I’ve ever had. The staff were friendly and personable and worked hard to make my order right. The space was cozy and had a number of places to sit even during a rush time.“

“Stopped in for a croissant and after that one I had to get more to take home! Also enjoyed a few other treats and some friendly employees. I hope the St. Patty’s croissants are available next year as well because they were seriously AMAZING.“

“I orderd the 6 inch Nutella cake for my wife's birthday. She and everyone at her party absolutely loved the cake. We loved it so much, we were so eager to cut a slice and forgot to take a picture before we did! We will definelty come back to Equisite for our cake needs!“

“Man this place well Gravy Babies on the weekends is sooooo good everything I ate was on point I had smothered pork chops, smothered steak and candied yams collard greens with turkey neck and cabbage, rice cornbread and cake was all the way off the chain have to make it her at least once on the weekends, worth the money I promise you your gonna like it“

“The atmosphere as soon as you walk in are calm, inviting, small, and lovely. Slow and I love that. It makes you feel good to walk in there to enjoy or grab your coffee, theres multiple tables and a great seating area. They sell the coffee beans, books, and have a menu that you can choose your flavors to add to your coffee. The coffee itself is smooth and not strong or delicate , it’s juss right. I love it here. It’s a small shop, and I wish their hours were more expanded but otherwise it’s sucha lovely unique coffee place. I think alotta people enjoy it too?️?☕️ I get the cherry white chocolate hot mocha and it’s so delicious ,??? the lady and man are so nice too. They run it by themselves I think cause iv never seen anyone else in there helping.“

“The Coffee is absolutely incredible, got to spend my morning talking with Sean and I was struck in awe by his love of the beautiful characteristics in the simplicity of coffee.Keep up the amazing roasting and you have a life long customer now!“

“Having numerous earnings from Mrs Mariel Ramsey trading platform is a life-time experience, with the capital of $1,000 I made a successful withdrawal of $12,500 after 7 working days, now I'm creditworthy!, Never before have I seen a broker so dedicated, hard-working and yet still tenacious at the same time, keep up the good works! contact Mrs Mariel Ramsey for genuine trading and fast profit payout without any issue.“

“A truly memorable experience! They host tastings quite regularly to help each brand promote its products and connect with the consumer directly. They have a huge selection of THC products from beverages to edibles. There is something here for everyone. Highly recommend!“

“We had the incredible opportunity to host an after hours event at the shop, and I simply cannot speak more highly of the service and ownership of this shop. The owner Greta is a deep supporter of her community and has fostered such a thoughtful and wholesome environment.“

“We had a cinnamon pull-apart, a white lightning, and a seasonal gingerbread latte. The white lightning looked nothing like the advertised pictures and also had no vanilla flavor. The espresso tasted burnt and it was overall an unenjoyable beverage. The gingerbread latte had no recognizable gingerbread flavor but instead tasted like a standard latte with a dash of cinnamon. The espresso tasted far better in this drink but it was still underwhelming. We enjoyed the cinnamon pull-part most out of what we ordered, however, it was still quite dry.The service was friendly and quick and the atmosphere was lively with excellent decor.“

“I really love this place! Close to work thus how I found out about it. Prices are generally really good compared to many coffee shops around the area. Lg cold brew was around $3 compared to the >$5 at the place near my house. The food is also wonderful! The employees are really nice as well! Went in the first time expecting an overpriced downtown coffee shop, but it was much more like an affordable small town kind of place!“

“Nice place! If you live in the area it’s easy to walk to. If you’re in the area for the farmers market, it’s also east to walk to! I recommend the maple cold brew and croissant club sandwich. Each time I have been in for coffee the barista verifies my drink changes to be sure it’s being made right. I really appreciate this!“

“Christopher does an amazing job managing this Caribou located in the Securian financial building in Saint Paul's skyway system. Their friendly staff will remember your name with a smile. Once a regular, I no longer frequent their MSP Caribou due to the change of their loyalty program. With nearly 7,000 points, Caribou devalued my point value. No Bueno.Parking: Horrible. They are located in the skyway system of downtown Saint Paul.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, via elevator.“

“I can't say enough good things about this place. I'm so glad there's a place for fancy pastries right down the street. I've never had a dessert I didn't love. Thanks for being in our community and making tasty treats, LDB!“

“Awesome little coffee shop, friendly staff and strong coffee. Good amount of seating and a cute little toy and reading nook around the corner, me and my daughter stayed for almost an hour one day! No designated parking lot, but lots of street parking“

“We just moved to the area and this neighborhood coffee shop is easily preferred for me over others in the area. Crisp, trendy space inside and the coffee is some of the best I’ve ever had! Well done Bean and Co! Satisfied new customer “

“We enjoyed every part of our dining experience at Momento last night. The employees are welcoming, knowledgeable and oozing with pride and excitement. We thoroughly enjoyed trying foods we've never had before and felt well informed by our server Kevin. We ordered three shareable plates: Meze, Brussels sprouts and peas & toast. We even left with a recommendation for breakfast in the morning. The colorful decor, including many plants and fresh herbs complimented the experience perfectly. We tried to tell everyone we met that night to come try it out as we might not make the 5 hour trip back for some time.“

“Every Sat. morning coffee with friends. Barista Jim know us. Always friendly with everyone. There was a wait for my order due to so many "call in" orders. Also a continuous line to order but moved slowly. Those working behind bar were working very hard and efficiently.Dietary restrictions: Breve is gluten free, sugar free option.Wheelchair accessibility: My husband uses walker. No obstacles to go over. Plenty of room.“

“I love everyone that works at the West Side Flats Starbiez ☺️ I feel like i’m cheating whenever i go anywhere else & everywhere else sucks at making my drinks! ? Everyone’s so friendly and welcoming, me and my friends’ pups approve and appreciate the stars & location of this starbz ☺️?“

“Interesting location, beer is good. Parking is best done on the street or in the lot across the street. Parking is a challenge when the game business in the same building is busy. Like a Sunday afternoon ? They were great and let the girl scouts sell cookies. Great space with lots of options for seating and a wall of games to use while there. Saw many tables using those.“
