I ordered a hot Noko Espresso with raspberry syrup, and it was very good--rich and bold, with a strong raspberry flavor just the way I like it. I originally wanted kiwi syrup, but they mentioned it's seasonal and wasn't available at the time. The interior of the shop was fine--not overly decorated, but comfortable and warm. After enjoying my coffee, I took a short walk to soak in the beautiful views at Lake Nokomis. What a great day!

This is hands down the best cold brew in Minnesota. They do nitro really well, but the rotating…read moreseasonal cold brews are next level. The whipped honey cold brew is my absolute favorite. That big dollop of whipped honey on top is unreal. The space itself is great for getting work done. Lots of natural light, big open windows, and different seating options that makes it feel really inviting. It can get pretty busy during peak times, so finding a seat can be a little tricky but they have a shared table system where you can grab a card if you're open to sitting with others. It's such a fun, community-focused touch and a great way to meet people or just make space when it's crowded. The staff is super kind and welcoming, which makes it even better. They also do a great job with their seasonal drinks and pastries.

If you are looking for a great iced coffee, look no further!…read more This place is located in a bustling area of St. Paul! It's street parking but it is free. Walking in, there are lots of wood accents, stools, booths and PLENTY of plug ins if you want to come here and study/get work done! The service was disappointing to be honest. This place had the vibes to have such a fun crew working and instead we barely even got 2 words for the person who rang us up. The person who made our drinks also had zero interaction. Such a missed opportunity! This is why I removed a star. The coffee: This is one of my new favorite coffees I have ever had! I got an iced whipped honey latte and it was DELICIOUS! The coffee wasn't overly bitter, had good flavor and the whipped honey was definitely a unique treat! Overall, I really did enjoy my time at this coffee shop! It definitely can get busy but don't let that deter you from getting a delicious coffee from these guys! Oh and yes, they do have some snack/lunch/bakery items here to if you get hungry!!

Enjoyed checking out at Base Camp Coffee! Cute spot, free parking…read more We tried the seasonal lemon pound cake latte and blueberry streusel cold brew. The cold brew was delicious as the blueberry cold foam really pulled the drink together. We weren't as fond of the lemon latte - I think the lemon bitters just threw us off. Service was okay! Not anything standout like the rest of the reviews have raved about, and one of our drinks took 10+ minutes longer than the other to come out. During this time, though, we enjoyed looking at the merch and the 'little free library' (that isn't so little!) in the shop :-)

I went right when they opened at 8 am on a Sunday's morning. Small parking lot, but plenty of…read morestreet options. We got our order to go and were in and out in less than 10 minutes. Food 4/5: we got the breakfast sandwich (sausage,egg,cheese,spinach on a croissant) and plain bagels. The breakfast sandwich was well seasoned and flavor balanced and I'd absolutely come back for! The bagel didn't seem the most fresh, but they did have other pasties I'd try. I also got the cold brew with maple syrup and a splash of milk and would absolutely come back for! Service 5/5: the ladies that helped me were so nice and helped answer all of my questions. The food/drink was made quickly. Ambiance 5/5: this place has plenty of seating inside and out and has a more cozy aesthetic. Definitely worth a try if you're on the neighborhood! I love that they have more than just pastry options for breakfast and we will definitely be back.

The cafe has some gluten free and vegan backed food options too. Service was fast and my iced americano was average- I prefer it a little stronger. Price point for drinks is a bit higher but I assume it is because they are organic.

This is a small coffee shop almost to the downtown area. There is neighborhood parking all around(free) just make sure you are reading the signs correctly. As I walked in, it had such a cozy and welcoming feeling. The brick, smell of coffee and people chatting really gave this a classic coffee shop vibe! Almost like being in a book! The service... i asked for my coffee iced and to have oat milk. Neither of those requests were fulfilled. Now, I do like hot coffee, so I didn't complain and I will say the coffee was delicious. The temp was perfect for drinking right away. I am lactose intolerant, so I didn't realize I didn't get my oat milk until after I left if you catch my drift haha. The person taking my order seemed frazzled and wasn't very friendly. I had also ordered another baked goods but I guess she didn't hear because upon checking my receipt, it wasn't listed. It wasn't overly busy, but may be she was new? Not sure, but it did leave a bit of a bad taste for this place. The scone was very tasty and I would recommend getting it warmed up. I would give this place a try again, but it's not a place I plan to visit again soon.

Just wanted to shout out Northern Coffeeworks for opening their space to the community for a space to come together for action and solidarity. The space at NCW is perfect for bigger events, like the one last week. I am sure it is super cute as a coffee shop as well. They have really gorgeous dark green painted walls and some exposed brick! Lots of fun art, trinkets, and food available to purchase as well. Will be coming back ASAP to try their drinks, just wanted to give props!

There was easy street parking right outside the shop, which was nice because I was running a little late. Cute classic coffee shop vibes inside. Barista was super friendly, kind, and quick. Ended up getting the "Shamrock Shake" special because duh St. Patty's Day! Was a fun little surprise that they had a themed drink. I LOVE when people get into themes and holidays. The drink itself wasn't my favorite, but that's because it had mint in it and I am not a huge mint in my drinks person (unless it's peppermint tea), so that was totally on me. I just got too excited about themed drink. But besides the mint it was good and huge! Price is a little steep and they charge extra for alt milks, which is fair but always a bummer for my lactose intolerant ass.

They're constantly rotating seasonal latte flavors, and I haven't had a single drink that I haven't enjoyed. They make their pastries in house and many of them are gluten-free and so delicious! You can buy their beans in store, online, and in some local grocery stores such as Lunds and Byerlys. There are tables inside their cafe that are great for working or catching up with friends. I had a private event where Edina Coffee Roasters came with their coffee cart and served drinks. Leading up to the event, Zach was so friendly and helpful. We were able to have custom signature lattes in addition to standard espresso-based drinks and chai lattes for our event. During the event, drinks were made quickly and Zach was super kind and friendly to all of my guests. I'd definitely recommend them for any event! I also attended an espresso making workshop and it was so fun and approachable! It was the perfect balance of information about technique and beans, and hands on learning. I learned how to measure and tamp coffee grounds, pull a shot, steam milk, and do latte art. The workshop was led by the owners, Zach and Sara, who were so kind and clearly passionate about what they do!

It's a lovely little shop hidden in a quiet business area. There are only a handful of tables, but I was still able to find a place to sit without much trouble. The coffee was excellent and definitely strong in the best way. The staff was super helpful and clearly very knowledgeable about coffee. Our drinks were delicious. The cappuccino had the perfect foam, and we also tried the Trifecta coffee flight, which includes a hot brew, cold brew, and an espresso. Such a fun way to experience the different flavors of their coffee. I love that they make their syrups in house and offer seasonal drinks. They had a great selection of pastries as well, including scones and gluten and dairy free muffins.
