Cafe Latte - Banana tres leches slice - Comfort Food Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

My husband went here for a work meeting and thought I would like it. We visited on a Sunday afternoon. There was plenty of people to help you. There were lots of choices and it's cafeteria style. I got a pre made salad and a cup of soup. My husband had a salad sampler. There was plenty of seating and everything was clean. We noticed tables being cleared as soon as people left. It seemed like a popular spot with a variety of people eating and chatting. It was casual but the food was flavorful. We also had a piece of German chocolate cake to share and it was very good. read more

Café Latte is the cafeteria vibe every adult needs in their life, lol. They have American food and inhouse made desert with pizza and wine bar. I have not indulged in their wine. I come for the communal feel deserts, soups and salads! The deserts are top notch! Ambiance 4/5 Cafeteria style seating and chairs, booth outline the restaurant. I have not had the pleasure of a window seat upstairs however like the idea of it. I'm sure you'll have to be extra careful going up the stairs with the trey. Colorful painting line the place with black and white themed coloring. Very cute, spacious in the back of the restaurant. The space between the line and utensils can get congested when busy. Its pretty laid back. Service 5/5 I've never had a bad experience here, everyone is pretty friendly and its pretty straight forward. Grab a tray, there's two areas to for dessert and head on the down the line for food! If you aren't getting salad, feel free to skip the line with no fuss. Food/ Drinks/ Prices: Their Tres Leches is moist perfection & I'm not a big desert person! Options are a girls bestfriend and they've got them. Individual cupcake: $4 | Chicken Caesar Salad $7 | Soup $7 and baguette bread. Overall 4/5 - Restaurant has great deserts and food however the off street parking makes you wanna fight the air : ( You have to be diligent and patient. If your meeting up, allow yourself enough time, but you won't regret it! read more

Both the pizzas we had were fantastic! And not a bad price for a personal pizza either at 12$ each. For desert we shared a slice of turtle cake which was amazing (and very large). The servers were very nice and professional, the vibe of the place is very clean/demure yet casual. All in all great experience, will be going again. read more

BEST of the BEST. As my favorite restaurant in the Midwest, I would travel all the way from Cali for their strawberry cheesecake! Everyone always leaves happy from the tasty food, clean atmosphere, and friendly service. It's my number one spot of all time favorites. Highly recommend the Greek salad too. read more

Lots of character as soon as you walk in I know it's just a cafeteria but it has a cool vibe. The menu is not only massive but eclectic I especially like the varieties of salads. We had the salad sampler salmon, asian and Cesar all in one! The bread is hearty. The mushroom soup is good, very thick, and flavorful. The turkey pesto with pistachio sandwich was fine. The chicken salad sandwich was OK. Prices are hard to beat. Also don't forget the entire bakery section for dessert. read more

Cafe latte is the best café in the Twin Cities in my opinion.

My first time at cafe latte and I absolutely loved it! I got the spreads combo and I think more restaurants should offer something like this. I tried the tuna salad, chx spinach salad and olive poblano spread and they were all delicious. Loved the veggies and sourdough to eat with it. Also tried the classic cheesecake, flourless chocolate cake, and amaretto truffle. To die for. I will be back!!! read more

Every time I visit Minnesota I have to come here just to get their "tres leches" cake. It's in no way authentic to a Mexican tres leches but it's one of my favorite cakes in the world. Both the cake and the frosting are the perfect amount of sweetness, which to me isn't very much lol. The raspberries pair perfectly (': The food here is served like a cafeteria, where you grab a tray and tell them what food you want. The food has never been bad here, just not the main reason I go! Their other cakes are great too (: read more

Delicious place. Food, dessert and coffee all in one place. Their nutella mocha is delicious. You get to pick your food, find a place to sit and eat. Then can pick dessert. Laid back ambiance. Quick turn over. They also have a second counter to order dessert or coffee so you don't have to stand in the food line. We got the salted caramel Tres Leche cake and it was AMAZING! read more

I have been visiting Cafe Latte for over 10 years! This staple of Grand Avenue in St. Paul will always hold a special place in my heart. With its large inside seating upstairs as well as friendly staff, this makes a great lunch spot! If you are in the mood for a cozy soup, crisp salad, or a delicious sweet treat. Cafe Latte is the place for you. This cafeteria style join has been a favorite among locals for a long time. Not only is there ample street parking on Grand Ave. There is a large free parking ramp just across the street. I love visiting this area of St. Paul also because there is a lot of shopping and cute local boutiques to hit up! Next time you visit you MUST as for the Vanilla Tres Leche Cake! You wont regret it! read more

This is a great go-to spot for lunch! When you walk in, there's a line at the counter. When you order, the nice staff member builds you a salad or sandwich. I got a Caesar (traded croutons for olives) and a slice of the Turtle Cake. It was plenty for one person for lunch! A lot of people did to-go, but there is seating, as well. Nice, bright place with tasty food! read more

Service at the bar is horrible unless you're a regular. I only come 1xmo for over a year so maybe I don't qualify. I've been overlooked more times than I can count and usually need to wave down my server for attention. Tonight, I learned there's a spread menu I've never heard about. Server said it was available for customers who ordered spread samplers. Sure the pizza is mostly good but it's the server's duty to share options. As I said, no recognizable service. I'd like to visit but won't even order to-go. I dine at a LOT of local restaurants and this is one of the most disappointing. So sad... read more

Ok this place is amazing and has my favorite cake in the whole world the classic vanilla cheesecake. We drove to town from 4 hours away and I drug my bf across the cities one morning for the cake only to find out they won't serve it to you until noon. I missed out. It was sitting there...I could see it....and they wouldn't give me a slice. read more

I had a delightful experience at Cafe Latte this morning. I was there at kind of an in-between time of Thursday, (post breakfast, pre lunch) but the gals working were so attentive and set me up with a breakfast pizza and a coldbrew-- what could be better?!! It was fast and quiet and the pizza was made right in front of me with fresh ingredients. Around $16 for everything and about a 6 minute wait time. The staff were on top of everything and made me feel right at home while solo dining. read more

This is my go to place for girlfriend time. I always get the tres leches for dessert. I recently branched off and tried the mango tres leches and it was even better. The salad options are pretty good, but I really love thesoups there - they even let you try them out with a small sample before. You also get a homemade bread roll with a soup or salad, which is delicious. Parking can be a pain near there, but in general, an awesome restaurant on Grand Avenue. read more

Visited this place for this amazing looking mocha... but was not that impressed with the drink... it was fine but not as good as it looks... we picked couple of Tresleches slices... vanilla one was okay but the mango slice had great flavour and amazingly smooth... they had great selection of lunch options too! read more

FOOD: Honestly, this has to be the best cake I have ever had. The tres leches cake was u like anything I've ever had and I cannot wait to go back and get it! The coffee was also another hit! While I didn't get any of their pasta salads, they looked incredible!! SERVICE: This is a place where you wait in a deli line and select your choices as you go, so it took a bit of time to get through the line but we got our food right away! AMBIANCE: I love love love how there was a cool upstairs area that overlooked the restaurant. Definitely a unique atmosphere. read more

Fresh food options and great variety. Long line but moved very quickly. Would highly recommend.

I'm giving it a two because I've been going here ever since i was a child, buying cakes for celebrations and birthdays for my family now that im an adult. the quality, packaging and service has diminished severely. I'm upset that the cakes use to be in sturdy cake boxes and the cakes wouldn't get damaged. Now they come in plastic containers that won't even stay on- the worker just said to me carry it from the bottom and good luck. the container wasn't even sealed and won't fit in the bags they provide. My cake to celebrate my family is ruined and they didn't even care- i hadn't even walked out yet. the cakes here are very good and expensive but it hurts to say i don't think im gonna ever order another cake here again. this experience wasn't worth buying a $60 cake. read more

My friend recommended us to meet up here and I'm so glad she introduced me to this place. They have cake, lunch, and coffee, cafeteria style. They have a different line at the end of the restaurant for to-go orders or whole cake. I got Lemon Tart and Cafe Latte. My friend got the Vanilla Tres Leches and she kept telling me to try. I thought it would be sweet frosting but OMG it was the best cake I ever had. It was light, slightly sweet with whipped cream. It was so delicious that I bought a slice to go. Cake slices varies by type and I think Vanilla Tres Leches slice is $7.50 but so worth it! Everyone i know loved cake from this place and I can understand why! I will dream about this cake from now on until i can find one in LA. There is parking on the street and ramp parking for $8 I believe read more

Great for desserts and breads, rest is ok but a bit overpriced. If you are in the mood for a slice of cake or cupcakes or cheesecake, this spot has many great options. I come here just for the bakery items. Favorites include the lemon torte cake, the raspberry torte cake, tres leches (I like it plain but the offer it in other flavors, the turtle cake and the German chocolate cake...just to name a few! If you're ordering to go, there's a separate section in the back where you can order. If dining it, I love that it starts with desserts then you walk through other options like coffee, salads, sandwiches and lots of soup option! Food is fresh, just shockingly expensive when you check out. There are two levels of seating, and find it's often less chaotic upstairs...which means navigating the stairs with a tray filled with desserts, food and drink which is kinda challenging. Energetic place and super busy during peak times. Free street parking, easier a few blocks away, or there's a paid parking ramp nearby. read more

Who wants cake? Cafe Latte is a great place if you are looking for a soup, salad or sandwich that are a step above the norm in both quality and variety. But let's face it, the top reason to stop is for the desserts! The turtle cake is the favorite of many, including me, but there are many other options that are excellent. Today, we had the Chocolate Leches cake and vanilla leches cupcakes to celebrate a colleague's birthday. Both were big hits! I'd also recommend their cheesecakes, flourless chocolate tort, and chocolate truffles just to name a few. If you are not looking for something sweet, their vegetarian soups and chili are also excellent. But seriously, the desserts . . . read more

Every year I order my birthday cake from here, previously was a Tres Leches cake, and this year a German Chocolate cake - both were amazing! This year though, we decided to stop in for lunch before grabbing the cake - and while it was a little chaotic since we weren't sure what to do (on the food / cafeteria line side) now that we know you can just order and skip to the next part (thanks to another customer who helped us) we now know what to expect. It is always busy here, but worth it for either lunch or the bakery! The staff was nice for the most part, of course there was a rather unpleasant girl working the build your own sandwich spot - the rest were nice. The cafeteria side was nice and bright with seating on two floors and the bakery side is a little darker/more intimate feeling. Parking is street parking, and usually hard to find (we got lucky this last time). read more

Cafe Latte - Vanilla Tres Leches Cake - Slices & raspberry truffle cheesecake - Comfort Food Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Cafe Latte has a very different vibe at different times of day. It's open until 10 and lately I've been there several times recently on weeknights and it's just about perfect. I've been there at lunch and the line is long and customers are grumpy. But nobody will be grumpy if you buy an entire cheesecake for a party. Do it. Good for groups Food is quite good, I like the soups always Cheesecakes are amazing, servings are large Wine It's not awkward if you are part of a group and don't order anything. There is a lot of seating. Take your group upstairs. Take your date to the back room/wine bar. Put your mom in the booths by the hall and then carry her food for her, obv. I've thought about this, and I actually think this place is priced ok. If you're on a budget, just try to resist eating your entire dessert and think of it as 2 servings. It's probably 3 servings. read more

The scones were delicious & my grandniece loved the coffee! My sister bought truffles & they were amazing!

Cafe Latte - Upstairs seating! - Comfort Food Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Absolutely the best tres leches cake on earth. I'm not usually a fan of cakes but this one is made to perfection - it's not too sweet and has the balance of creaminess and moistness to a pinch. I'd almost recommend getting the whole cake every time. We also had the cheesecake which was very yummy, it's on the lighter side and doesn't have the graham cracker crust as you'd expect but it still works with the fluffy texture. Then lastly the lemon cake was probably my least favorite, it was still delicious but flavor wise the other two just beat this one. Always try to make a stop at cafe latte if you're in the area. read more
