As you walk by, they'll have the garage door open for the roaster so you could smell it from down the block! As you walk in, you'll see there's another door that is their café where they have a full food menu. They have a one of a kind experience for coffee lovers. They have many different pour over methods and apparatus! They have lots of unique and delicious flavors of coffee from different regions of the world! They have lots of crafted espresso drinks and seasonal specialties. Overall this is a great place to sit and enjoy coffee, get some work done or chat with a friend.

Personally I could go for more maple in it, but I like them sweet. Lots of little bites and merch/mugs to look at (or buy). I like the dark interior aesthetic, it goes really nicely with the wooden shelves and potted plants they've got goin on. Small space but I believe the cafe part is right next door. Also apparently dogs are allowed.

They had a huge variety of pastries and breads and I went with a Caramel Pecan Roll and a Ham & Cheese Croissant, both very yummy tho the roll could've easily been shared by one or two more people. I also got a Caramel Latte which I didn't have high hopes for because this place looked like primarily a bakery but I was pleasantly surprised, it was decently good. I will certainly stop here again if I am ever in need of a baked good in Duluth but there were a couple "We can refuse service to anyone" signs that gave a slightly weird vibe to an otherwise warm and friendly looking place.

The cortado was one of the best I've had in a long time, and their house-made syrups are all super flavorful and unique. The space is fantastic, comfy seating, a great patio setup, and surf store with local products for sale. It's the kind of place you can hang out for hours. Jared is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, which makes every visit even better. A true neighborhood gem. Parking is literally in the back alley and there are lots of spots.

I confess, I almost always order the Gnocchi with Gorgonzola cream sauce. I add shrimp and mushrooms. Little pillows of heaven. Awesome. Next time I am going to order another dish as my husband's choices have been stellar too. And don't skip dessert. The cannelloni is delicious and the gelato amazing too. You can even pick 2 flavors.

I loved the prosciutto topped with Gorgonzola and fig - it's the best combination. Ian was our server he was awesome, thankfully we were able to get a table today, the last time we went on a whim they were slammed so I highly recommend you make reservations.

We just got off the phone with Justin Wood, at Almanac Coffee in Duluth, MN, awesome guy who makes…read moreawesome coffee! But after a week of drinking his coffee, we are admittedly bias about the guy. To be clear, we've never met the man we are just punch drunk after a week of bliss and this was on DECAF!! I can't wait to see what the regular tastes like! I had a can of his decaf for over a year now but I'm not a decaf drinker, so it just sat in the cupboard until this week. Almanac's Decaf is better than most regular coffees I've had....I may end up reducing my caffeine intake because I prefer the taste over most coffees I've had. I understand taste us subjective, for reference I'm a Nina's and Amore, in St. Paul, as well as a Spyhouse and Five Watt Minneapolis guy, if that helps. Just ordered 2.5lbs of decaf, some regular Honduras, and a sampler pack. I've never 'ordered' coffee online before, but I absolutely have to have more of this decaf, it's that good! If you're looking for an amazing decaf I can definitely recommend Almanac's Decaf....the only negative was not trying it a year ago. Cheers!
