Had a meeting on West Bank and needed a place to relax for a little while before the campus building opened. 7 Cornerd was bright, but cozy. Lots of yellow, but comfortable booths to sit at. I asked the person working for a recommendation, since I usually like just about everything. There was a basil espresso tonic on the summer special menu that they recommended. I wasn't sure about it, but figured, hey, I asked, I'll go for it. It did have the tonic bitterness, but was so nicely balanced with the flavor. I actually really enjoyed it. If I find myself needing to be on campus again, I will definitely stop by 7 Corners for a morning pick-me-up! read more

A bright, cute shop with good coffee and tea. Be sure to specify if you want your drink iced, as the default is hot. The individuals behind the counter were kind and the drinks came out fairly quickly. It wasn't too loud inside, which makes me think it would make a nice workspace. The parking situation wasn't the greatest and there was quite a bit of traffic in the afternoon, so plan accordingly! read more

Seven Corners Coffee is just a few blocks away from our home, so we visit here quite a bit. We really like their coffee options; they do great espresso drinks and also make great pour-overs too. They have an online ordering feature, which is also great if you are in a hurry. The seating area is nice, and they even have a coloring area for kids. The one thing I would improve is offering more vegan options; they only have a couple vegan options for snacks. Otherwise, this is a great little coffee shop in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood (and just steps away from the mill district) and easily accessible by bike and public transit. read more

#20 in my TWIN CITIES COFFEE SHOP SERIES Love love love the ambiance here. Definitely a younger scene since it is right by The University of Minnesota, but because of that, they have very affordable options, a ton of seating, great study vibes, and are very eco-friendly. You can head to the counter inside to order or you can order that their outside window! I decided to stop by before work and ordered inside. I got their seasonal golden latte w/ oat milk ($6) which was a blend of pistachio, honey, and turmeric. It was so so yummy! The perfect blend of flavor and espresso. Honestly, one of the best coffee drinks I've had in the cities. To top it off, their service was great! Even though it was busy and only two people were working, they took orders quickly, made drinks fast, and were still very friendly. They even brought people's to go orders out to wherever they were waiting, so sweet! If you ever need a pick-me-up or a great place to get work done, I definitely recommend this place! read more

Came here on a Friday morning to study. There's definitely plenty of space to find a table and study. It was a little to loud for my liking but the coffee is good! The 10oz and 16oz lattes both have 2 shots of espresso, so I went with the 10z for a ratio to my liking. It was a small size given it was $5+. They have plenty of milk alternative options for $0.50, I went with oatmilk. Note that this is connected to a church. If you end up at a church, it's the right place! I was slightly confused at first. read more

In the area and looking for a coffee spot we found 7 corners coffee. Parking is available on street but depending on time and day it likely can get full so be prepared to walk a bit. Upon entering the place definitely had potential with bright walls and lights and a very open feeling. There was plenty of seating options and spaces for people to chat or work. They have a merch wall where you could pick up both branded items and coffee but also a small selection of artisan goods like earrings and cards. The coffee menu was pretty straightforward and nothing fancy. You could get your basics in either 12 or 16 Oz and then they offered a few syrup options and 3 seasonal drinks. Unfortunately it didn't appear that they had any iced options available that day, or at least they weren't advertised and we overheard someone say they had no ice. The wait did seem like it took longer than expected as there was only one order ahead of us. We ordered a specialty latte and an americano with flavor. The latte was pretty good but the americano was a bit bitter and burnt. We couldn't taste the extra syrup at all. Since we got them to go, we didn't realize until we were driving away so didn't ask to remake. Overall the space is nice for meeting people but I wouldn't seek this one out over other options that might be nearby. read more

I can't even stress enough how amazing my trip to 7 Corners Coffee was earlier today. You see, I just recently moved from Olympia WA to the Twin Cities, and as you might imagine the coffee scene back there is remarkable. As it turns out, right now they're featuring Olympia Coffee Roasters, which means they're importing freshly roasted beans from what is my favorite coffee roaster of all time to make all their drinks, at least for the near future while Oly Coffee continues to remain featured. The taste is incredible. I don't even know where to begin to describe, but the espresso is a notch above anything else you'll find locally. This is not me trying to knock on the local roasters, many of which do an incredible job, but Oly Coffee, to me, is like the Michael Phelps of coffees - world-class excellence. Just go here in the next two months (which is how long they said Oly Coffee would be featured) and try it. Get the drip, a cappuccino, whatever. It's all good. By my math you'd have until around May 2020 to check this out. Oh yeah, the space is really nice, comfortable, free wi-fi and power outlets. Baristas were super friendly and knowledgeable about coffee. read more

I'm excited that 7 Corners Coffee has taken over this space to keep a great study stop around on the West Bank. I've spent many study days here and I've really enjoyed it! The prices are pretty on par with hipster coffee shops and there are various options for coffee and tea. I like that they have pastries and sandwiches here - it makes it so much easier to spend several hours of uninterrupted work! My favorite is the ham and cheese croissant, and I always tend to get the Yuzu Green Rishi Tea. They have water cups that you can fill whenever, and the vibrant layout of the coffee shop keeps things fun. One of my favorite study spots, for sure! Parking is a bit challenging as there really is only paid street parking right out front, but it's not too bad. read more

I went here on Saturday morning to get work done. Pleasantly surprised at how close this coffee shop is to the U's law school building and West Bank stadtion -- make it very convenient for me to get to. I went at 11 am and there were 5 or 6 people in the shop, mainly students studying. The staffs greeted me and were very friendly, they also brought my coffee to my table, which is so nice and rare in the US I ordered a decaf latte, which was quite good, very smooth~ 7 corner is perfect for studying because there are outlets every well, next to almost every table and even the bar seats. There is free wifi so you can do work for a long time. The space is clear and bright, has a modern and sleek look to it, not particularly my style when it comes to coffee shop but that's a-ok :) The shop is quite new so everything is very clean and well kept. The drinks are on a higher side but I'd do it occasionally if I need to get out of the library to study and focus. read more

Excellent coffee, customer service and compassion. I decided to try 7 Corners Coffee in the Cedar-Riverside/West Bank neighborhood of Minneapolis today while walking my dog. It's an easy walk from Gold Medal Park, the University of Minnesota campus, and the burgeoning Downtown East neighborhood. While the Coronavirus has caused many Minneapolis-area coffee shops to close, 7 Corners is operating through their new walk-up coffee window. This is a relatively new concept for Minneapolis (Honey and Rye in the North Loop also has one) I got to know Ben, the shop's director, while he was crafting my excellent vanilla latte. We discussed the impact of Coronavirus on the local community and how they're surviving thanks to the coffee window. The drink was sweet but not overly done and I appreciate when businesses go the extra step to provide eco-friendly cups and lids. While pricing is on point with other area shops, the espresso is a notch above several others I've experienced. In my short time in Minneapolis, I've unfortunately had my fair share of bad coffee shop service. Thankfully, 7 Corners is not included in that. They even provide free dog treats! I'll definitely be back! read more

I've been to more coffee bars in this country than most people (don't believe me? Check my reviews...), and would easily put this one in the top-20 anywhere. Both the drip and the espresso are delicious, the space is very attractive and comfortable, and everyone who works here is extra-friendly. Upon discovering the spot, I returned three times within 48 hours. I will say the prices on many items appear to be at the high end of the range (e.g., over $3 for a 10-oz cup of drip, which is quite rare), but this doesn't appear to be deterring clientele. read more

Some of the kindest baristas I've ever experienced! The environment here is so welcoming and the coffee is so good. Thankful for another coffee shop in the cities that anybody can feel welcome to come to. Great for students as there's a lot of seat and outlets! I got a pour over from the Director Ben's coffee farm in Burundi! It was perfect. If you get the chance, ask about where their coffee is from and more about their mission/partners. Good people involved all around with this place. Their prices are very reflective to what they are paying the farming communities they work with. read more

I dropped by here for a latté. The place was modern on the inside - I wouldn't call the atmosphere cozy. However it was packed with students at 1PM, which I found unique considering how late in the day it seemed (although I recognize students probably don't wake up around 5/5:30 like I do). The latté was....excellent, and I plan to go out of my way to come here next time I am around campus because it was delightfully smooth and rich in flavor. read more

Everyone seems excited to see the kids and even offer a kidppuccino (steamed milk) which is exciting for them! The employees are sincere and knowledgeable, also have great suggestions in what to get! I've also had the opportunity to spend some time with the manager and it is incredible to see how kind, committed and helpful she is! Her passion is admirable.

Coffee and more. The coffee is to die for, not actually though as you have to be living in order to consume it. I like the teas as well. The staff is kind, greets you with a smile and provides a great cup of coffee and whatever else you order. Everything about the place exudes community, kindness and a great place to hang out. Even the nametags are great - they're made of carved wood. The coffee sales support actual coffee farmers around the word - you can learn of individuals and families who are impacted through the purchase of a cup of coffee. Highly recommend! read more

A lot was on point. They had super interesting wines by the glass, the appetizers were outstanding, my duck breast was served with a perfectly smoky pepper reduction, and it was fun watching the open kitchen. We also appreciated the creativity of the uni spaghetti we were served. They do a no tipping/hospitality included model, which is nice to know what you're getting. But also, a lot was a bit off. Water took 10 minutes to get even when all the waiters were waiting for the kitchen to plate the next course. Cocktails were uninspired, basically just the flavors of the classics but with extra price. Dessert was additional, and honestly I think if you're going to do a prix fixe (which I love), do it as appetizer-main-dessert. Said uni spaghetti was creative, but lacking in balance, especially compared to the pear-nduja bruschetta (lovely) and said duck breast. I walked out feeling not unhappy, but not anywhere near one of my best experiences.

Excellent room 5 with the terrace and extra sitting area. Love this room!

The baristas definitely have latte art skills, and my drink was prepared beautifully and with care.The staff are super kind, which really adds to the experience. Parking is also a breeze with the adjacent free surface lot which is a plus in Minneapolis. If you're looking for a top-tier espresso drink in a great atmosphere, Five Watt is a must-visit.

It is always full of people all doing things or just sitting down for a cup of coffee.

Definitely one of my faves!

Lots of seating, the main area is super cute with ambient lighting & then there's an additional seating area (where I was sitting in my pic) that's really bright! I always love looking at coffee shop match too & they had some cute options! Overall, good coffee, kind staff & cute shop!

I came here on a Saturday late morning with my family because I heard they were a no frills good roaster kind of shop. And the ambiance meets that a bit. Not too fancy but plenty of seating with a nice amount available outside. Nothing that I noticed in the way of more relaxed seating. Now the important stuff the regular old coffee. I had an Americano and my wife a cold brew. Both were average I'd even say my Americano was in the poor end. Now that being said they sell a lot of different varieties of beans. I found an Ethiopian light roast that I am partial too and brought it home. These beans were great. So all that said bottom line they sell 5 star beans. I just don't find them in the drinks we ordered while we were there.

Yummy selection to take home!

I just want to give a shout out to the employee that was working on a weekday mid-afternoon for his professionalism and approachable-ness. When I went to the location at Mall of America, it didn't seem like they have alternative milk. The employees at the MOA where to themselves. I'm lactose intolerant. This guy at Eat Street Crossing asked if I had any questions, which I ask if the drinks can be made with almond or soymilk, he said yes and just to let him know which drink. I ordered the tiger creme brulee drink and it was delicious. He did let me know there was some dairy, which I can tolerate, but that experience made a difference, because I'd probably walk away if he didn't check in.

It smells great inside, and they have a wide range of authentic yemeni coffee and tea with fresh baked pastries. There was only one person working to make drinks, so our two lattes took about 12 minutes to come out, and there was only one person on line ahead of us. They didn't do my order correctly, but they were very nice in remaking it. The lattes and complex drinks come layered, which looks nice, but makes them hard to drink IMO, because you have to mix it yourself and then get a layer of each by itself. My first drink they forgot the syrup and the next one was so sweet I couldn't drink it- it tasted like melted caramel ice cream. It would be great if they replaced the plastic straws with biodegradable ones.

They make some delicious vegan food (both super healthy dishes like hummus and veggies & rice, as well as some more indulgent dishes like biscuits and gravy). Their vegan pastries and deserts are TO DIE FOR, especially the peanut butter cups. The inside is very "80's coffee house" vibes.
