Cozy! Comfy! Local! Lovely! Claddagh instantly sparks joy in my heart. St. Paul is beyond blessed to have this local community shop. The baked goods, friendly staff, coffee drinks, "wisdom of the day" chalk board quotes, smoothies, breakfast sandwiches, doodle journals at the bar area, etc. are all around amazing. Thank you for making each visit so magical! read more

I was craving a cozy coffee vibe and decided to give this place a go! It was cozy, the vibes were right, but the service was.... Interesting. 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. read more

Stopped into Claddagh Coffee on a freezing afternoon after lunch with a friend down the road and honestly, I'm so glad I did! I came in right before closing (like minutes before), but the barista was welcoming, friendly, and recommended the salty dog. It had caramel and chocolate.... I wasn't saying no to this delicious afternoon pick me up. The cozy brick space, friendly atmosphere, and community board gave such a charming St. Paul vibe. I took my coffee to go, but decided right away I'll definitely be back for a December holiday drink or two (eggnog latte and peppermint mocha, I'm coming for you!). HUGE bonus in my book- parking is easy and free as it's street parking. read more

Delicious coffee and pastries. The service was very friendly. Greeted when we walked up to the counter and they answered questions for us. The inside of the cafe has little touches of the claddagh all over. A stain glass window over the kitchen and other Irish sayings posted around the cafe. Would def come to work here if I lived around here. Come check it out if you're considering. Will def be worth your time. read more

Stopped in here for coffee while traveling. The people were friendly, its a small little spot with a few stools by the window. The coffee was absolutely delish. I had the Nutty Mick and yum. If you want a not too sweet but flavorful coffee - this is it. I got about half of the syrup they usually put and it was great. Lot of their syrups and such are made in house. read more

Cute coffee shop. I just walked up to the counter and ordered a coffee, but a lot were dining in. The servers were attentive and quick. The miel is really good!! Just a note - they don't do sugar free syrups. read more

Spectacular coffee shop in an old building oozing with charm and character. The top floor has lots of natural light and tons of artwork on the brick walls. We stopped in with a big group of kids and adults in the morning on Good Friday and it was crowded but we were able to find seats on the couches downstairs. Maybe it was because I'd been up since 3am, but the chai I had was one of the best I'd ever had, at least compared to where I'm from in NJ. The rest of our group all had a variety of smoothies, teas, coffees and scones. Such variety in the menu and all of it superb. I highly recommend this place if you're a fan of locally owned, slow paced coffee shops. read more

The atmosphere of this cafe is so cute and cozy, and I loved the decor. Service was friendly. The baked goods were fantastic-- we tried the crumb cake and the oatmeal fudge bar. However, the drinks were not very good. We ordered the iced Sister Mary latte and it honestly tasted like a watered-down unflavored latte. The Dropkick Murphy was a bit better but still tasted watery. The drinks were also served in plastic cups which was a bit disappointing because the for-here hot drinks were served in ceramic cups, so if you're the type of person who prefers not to use plastic I would recommend bringing your own cup or ordering a hot drink. read more

Came here for a second coffee because I wanted to try a Claddagh with Irish cream and dark chocolate and it was as delicious as it sounds. I loved that you can still taste the coffee and it wasn't overwhelmed with cream. The dark chocolate gave it a rich touch. I got both hot and cold and I liked the hot better - both were good but a personal preference as it's more flavorful and not as diluted with the ice. It's a pretty big cafe so a good place to chill. read more

One of my favorite coffee spots in Saint Paul. Stop in for the scones, stay for the coffee drinks. Served with clotted creams and preserves upon request, their scones are among the best in the twin cities. They are actual scones, not just doughy blobs thrown in an oven. If you like real scones, stop here. They also serve up delicious coffee drinks- I especially like the hot Molly. but seriously, the scones alone are worth the stop read more

Loved the iced salty dog! It was absolutely perfect and they have the ability to order ahead online. Great coffee shop to check out!

Loved this coffee shop theme and vibe! Everything was Irish themed from the cute knicknacks and drink names to the stained glass windows. I love how they had Irish blessings everywhere! I personally tried the dirty Seamus which is a dirty chai. Super tasty on a cold day. read more

Excellent original coffees, delicious scones and CLOTTED CREAM! The only problem was the clotted cream was served in a tiny tiny ketchup plastic cup. This only gave me two bites of scone with clotted cream. Sad. read more

Had a stellar experience at this tiny coffee shop in Saint Paul. I was staying in an airbnb nearby, and it was recommended by the owner. It met and then exceeded my expectations: friendly, efficient service, delicious drinks, and lots of light food options, including gluten free donuts from SIFT (I got the blueberry and it was quite good). If I'd had time, I would have returned, and I will certainly go again if i'm in the area. read more

Usually have such a good experience with the baristas but this time I had a guy with curly hair that gave me attitude and my drink was mid.

The people are always so nice and friendly! They've got the usual options you'd see but also some specialty options if you're feeling whimsical and want to try something new! read more

Claddagh Coffee - Can't remember the name of the latte but it had white chocolate and amaretto in it with a 24k gold leaf. It was so fun and sweet! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Cute little coffee shop great for working on stuff or grabbing breakfast. The chai latte was great and banana bread also great. There's outdoor seating. They were sold out of breakfast sandwiches read more

How have I never updated my review for this gem before? I will keep it short and sweet. The coffee? Phenomenal. Try the Dirty Seamus or Nutty Mick. The food? Also quite tasty. I keep meaning to take a picture of the breakfast sandwich but honestly eat it so fast I never remember. The service? Fantastic. The owner is such a great human being and you can tell that the place is run with care. The inside is extremely cute. I love the basement section that has darker lighting and couches if one so chooses. The upstairs features art by local artists which rotates pretty frequently. Seriously come here. I will continue driving out of my way to come to this one of a kind Saint Paul staple. read more

Great ambiance, just a nice looking coffee shop. Maybe a little echoey, but not overly loud. Well laid out menu, and very neat looking latte items. Coffee is very good nice and creamy, great flavor. And very quick. read more

Cozy cafe, window to 7th St is great for people watching. Unfortunately, weak latte and customer service. (zero TYs given) I'm hoping today's service was a one-off situation. read more

This was my first visit here. I saw they served a breakfast sandwich so I came here with a friend and ordered it with sausage and the St Paddy's coffee (coconut + dark chocolate). The sandwich was fine, could have used some cream cheese but the star of the show was the coffee! I had my buddy try it and we were both blown away with how smooth it was! The leaf design was a nice touch too. Absolutely will be back to try more coffees! read more

My all-time favorite coffee shop in the entire metro. There's just something so lovely about this place. It's warm, inviting, and it just reminds you of your favorite neighborhood bar in all the best ways. (West 7th is full of those too, by the way) Come here on a Saturday morning with a friend, hang out at one of their many tables (make sure to check out the cozy basement seating!) and hang out for a while. I definitely recommend trying the drink Dropkick Murphy - which is an iced espresso drink served over ice with Coca Cola and a delicious cream. Sounds strange, but is strangely addicting. And whatever you do: don't pass up the breakfast sandwich. It is truly a delight and made to order. read more

One of our absolute favorite coffee spots! The Black and Tan is hands down the best! Great coffee flavor and not too sweet. Add an extra shot for a kick. It's a cute interior with seating for work or studying. There is a downstairs as well with more seating and a bit more quiet. The parking can be a challenge but there is free parking a few streets up. The online orders work great and are always ready when we get there. They have outdoor seating on the street and treats for dogs inside! The baking is great too, get the Irish coffee cake! read more

We were in the area so we stopped by for some drinks. Loved the rustic vibe of this cafe. Very unique and perfect for St. Paul. Everything from the chalk menu to the hidden gems around the cafe were so fun. My husband got the Nutty Mick - hazelnut, dark chocolate, espresso with oat milk. His drink was so smooth and delicious! No hint of bitterness here. Not too sweet but the flavor of the coffee was perfect so you didn't need too much sweetness. I got the London Fog Latte with regular whole milk and it did not disappoint. Very creamy with the perfect hint of vanilla. Not too sweet. Went well with some morning donuts. They have a large pastry selection which they make in-house at their other location - I'll have to divulge in some of those items next time. They also have a limited breakfast menu. Husband and I both agreed this is a coffee shop we would love to visit again some day! The only downside was that it was busy even at 9:10 am - we waited in line and got our drinks in about 15+ mins. But I could tell the baristas were working as fast as they could. Just goes to show that the place is popular ! We didn't mind waiting and people watching. read more

Walked in and immediately fell in love with this cafe. The place is bright and has old world charm with the brick walls. It's large with high ceilings, big windows, and the staff is very friendly. I ordered an eggnog latte (don't judge) and a ham and cheese panini. Both were delicious. I posted up next to the front windows to work for an hour and the free Internet was very fast and easy to use. If I lived in this neighborhood I would be here all the time and get to know everybody by name because I think that's this kind of place. read more

I ordered a hazlenut and chocolate latte, a egg cheeese and bacon breakfast sandwhich, and a side salad. Every single part of my meal was amazing. The latte had an amazing foamy head on it that was almost silky with every sip. It wasn't too sweet and had a nice coffee flavor that complemented the syrups well. The breakfast sandwhich was like no other I have had. It was on a poppy seed roll, the eggs were soft boiled, and the bacon was more like prosciutto. I even got to pick my own cheese. It was delicious. There was a seasoning on there that I cannot pin point, but I did really enjoy. Even the side salad that was just lettuce and homemade dressing was so good. I wanted to ask how they made it so I could have it at home. This location is cute, has a nice theme, and is a calm space to be in. When I go to a coffee shop, my standard expectation is that I will get a coffee that doesn't taste bad and a pretty generic sandwhich. I want good wifi and ambiance, and a space that is designed well enough that it won't feel stuffy when busy. Claddagh Coffee blew my expectations out of the water. I will 100% be back. Might be a new favorite in the area! read more

This place was a unique shop that includes an upstairs area and a downstairs area with couches. The carmel latte I got was great & came out quick. Baristas were polite as well. read more

The food: This was my first time trying Claddagh Coffee and I was pleasantly surprised. I got a small black coffee and my friend got a Coconut Latte, which I would definitely recommend! It was delicious. They had a ton of different, funky latte options so if you're interested in trying fun, new coffee drinks, this is the place for you. They also had a small little menu of sandwiches and soups, which all sounded very good. The atmosphere: Decent space upstairs and a little lounge downstairs. read more

Stopped in to get coffee and breakfast on our way back home. The coffee was great but the breakfast sandwich was AMAZING!!!

An excellent study spot! The coffee is so smooth and delicious. I tried the dark chocolate, coconut drink - I believe it's called The Irish. The baristas are kind and efficient. The vibe is moody and cozy. This quickly moved to the top of my rotation of study spots. Pro tip - outlets are hard to find on the main level, grab a table near an extension cord if you can! read more

Man, I am diggin this building. Very unique layout, very narrow brick face building with two levels. The downstairs has old stone walls and is nice and dimly lit, a great place to grab a book and sink into a comfy chair. The upstairs is a little bit better lit with an assortment of different sized tables gathered around a large bar. There is also a reservable conference table downstairs if you need to meet people for a meeting or have a larger area for studying or sketching. Nice extra amenity. Dogwood Coffee seems to be what is served here most often which is a pretty stellar roaster. Their specialty drinks are different than other coffee shops which is nice because I feel like most places seem to fall into the same rut depending on who their food and materials provider is. They also have a small menu of breakfast and lunch specialities which looked pretty tasty. Their baked goods are also a step up from typical coffee shop fare. The coffee is pretty good. I decided to try a house signature drink and got the Claddagh. It was pretty good, nothing too impressive. Price point is about what you would expect for a specialty non-commercial coffee shop. The barista was a little pretentious which annoyed me but by the way he poured my drink he has nothing to be pretentious about. All in all not a bad place, this building is seriously the major selling point for me here. read more

Walk in to some nice ambience. While a bit narrow, there's several places to sit and work to the right of you as you walk in. There's a variety of coffee drink selections. There's also smoothies if you're not a coffee person! Their mixed berry smoothie is delicious btw. As for my daily dose of caffeine, I got a cold press. Get the real flavor of the beans! Light bitter taste. Smooth. But you really taste the fruitiness in this. I enjoyed it on a warm day like this day. I also got the Sister Mary (specialty coffee drink). Yo, never really had something like this but it was a welcome surprise. It's pairing your espresso flavors with caramel (as opposed to chocolate) and orange!!! Yo, orange?! It's an odd but great combination. The orange flavor isn't too overwhelming. It's like having an orange peel in your coffee just to add a hint of it. While the drink is sweet also, it's not overwhelming. You can taste the milk and espresso along with everything else. Would I order this again? On days I need a nice punch of flavors, most def. Anyway, I sat down in the main area and it was very nice. Great ambience, light music, Irish culture all around. I then moved down to the basement area where you get a different, more relaxing and cozy vibe. There's a a couple of sofas, waist level dining table, and a standing table with chairs. I'm digging the option of this place for work and hanging out. I'd come here again next time. At the time of my visit, it's a Thursday 11am-2pm, not very busy. Just enough noise to keep the flow flowing. read more

Warm and inviting shop in a brutally cold place. This place was pretty cool inside with old world flavor great seating area. I didn't even notice this place had a downstairs area, that I'm sure is warm and fun to hang out at. Lots of cool coffee drinks with even cooler names. I was able to warm up and caffeine up before my flight back home. Decor-Old World Irish feel with exposed brick and old church pews for seating area, simply well done. Larger windows to allow sun light, which wasn't much when I visited. Service-was great! They were very nice and helpful, and patient while I decided on my coffee choice. Made a recommendation which I loved. Coffee-Hot Molly was amazing! Expresó, Cinnamon, cayenne, and steamed milk all blended in a drink full of flavor to warm up all of your insides. I simply loved it, it was really a righteous drink. read more
