Perfect place for an early morning caffeine fix! Grabbed a great iced coffee here. It's a cool, eclectic little shop with a lot of character and very fair prices. Glad I found this colorful local spot. The coffee is definitely roasted right. read more

STRONG COFFEE goated if you like good, strong coffee, you'll like this shop. They're open 365 days. I've been a customer for years & the drinks and service are 10/10 every time. The space is small, and not my first choice for studying and hanging out, but there is seating. read more

Great little coffee shop with unique decor. Small but very fun to explore. There are thinkers in unexpected places. Staff were so friendly with great attitude. Love the name "Code Blu" definitely applies to some of us in need of good late in the morning. They have an ample drink menu (see pics). Music plays in background and it's cool kinda 80s. I had a fun time looking around finding out of place trinkets all over store. Would definitely go back! read more

It doesn't look like much on the outside and it is very small on the inside, but the coffee is amazing and staff super friendly. They are quick with a joke or conversation about your day. They also have XL cold drinks (32 oz)!!! Gourmet coffee shop taste with the chain coffee store sizes!!! The drinks are flavorful, but not overly sweet. read more

Nothing like waking up on a Sunday morning with no plans, seeing a Tiktok about a coffee shop you haven't heard of, and spontaneously going there for an awesome cup of coffee. That Tiktok might have been AIGC but the people here are very human and have turned what was probably the husk of a fast food joint and made it cozy. It looks like if a small regional airport were determined to create an airport lounge out of an unused corner of the terminal. But I've never had coffee this good at an airport lounge, and I've been to several American Express Centurion Lounges. I got a White Macadamia, and it had a very pleasant sweetness without masking the great flavor of this coffee, which they proudly roast in-house. You can buy their beans in bulk, and that seems like a very good idea! I also grabbed a muffin from the day-old discount tray, and because it was early that thing could have passed for fresh. Loved it, and I'd love to come back and try some of the other baked goods on their rack. Awesome coffee, very friendly staff, will definitely return! read more

I enjoyed this cute coffee shop in the Minneapolis area. The server was very nice and I love the dedicated parking lot. The coffee was average to slightly less than average pricing for the area. I got the iced miel which was a bit watered down but overall had a good flavor. Inside was very busy at 7 am on a weekday but they were still quick with my order. read more

LOVE this coffee shop. Unpretentious but an amazing cup of joe! This is my go to coffee shop especially for beans. Small place, but lots of outlets and a friendly staff. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Highly recommend! read more

Hidden gem near the Augsburg campus and Children's Hospital. Code blue coffee is known for their roasting and brewing their own coffee beans. they have a huge section of beans that they roasted fresh that you can buy. as a line of construction workers this must be a great place for cold brew coffee. Everybody had an iced coffee in their hand when they were leaving I felt like one of the old school just got a classic black coffee. I'm a fan of their house blend. It's a medium roast that I think is better than most other house blend coffees. My other recommendation is their cappuccinos. They are strong in a good coffee forward flavor setting. They normally make them very dry unless you ask them differently. The ambience is very get in and get out kind of feel. there is a small sitting area but it's kind of more reserved for people doing work or being quiet. Overall, the coffee is really good and I would definitely seek out this location ! read more

CodeBlu is consistently the best coffee place in Minneapolis. I've tried every single other coffee shop or cafe in a mile radius and as of 2025 CodeBlu holds the top for the ABSOLUTE BEST coffee. If you want beans, get them here. They roast them fresh every few weeks. My favorite flavor is just the house blend. Makes incredible coffee. Baristas are friendly and talkative. This place has a community like no other. People are constantly streaming in and talking and yapping. For getting some work done or doing some studying, there's no better place. Comfy chairs, amazing coffee, and a fairly quiet place make it ideal for that kind of thing. They also have a rule against using speaker phone, which helps with some people yapping it up on a loud phone. 100/10 recommend. Give these guys your business, check it out! read more

Ridiculously cute little place, hidden and decorated with cool stuff and sunshine! This place seems perfect to sit and work on laptop, there were a lot of light lamps and outlets near the tables. Coffee was incredibly good, the cashier at front was also really nice!! read more

#19 in my TWIN CITIES COFFEE SHOP SERIES A small coffee shop with delicious coffee! When you first arrive, they have have a parking lot for you to park in, hooray, no street parking! It is a pretty small place with just a few tables. Not the most aesthetic and vibey coffee shop out of my series, but nonetheless, I think it would still be a great spot to get work done. I however, just got my iced turtle latte ($5.25) to go before heading off to work. They have a bunch of classics like frappes, lattes, drip, etc. And my personal favs, turtle and zebra flavors! I love a good mocha with caramel. The drink was definitely strong and kept me going the whole day, and I only got a small! Super delicious and refreshing. They are a bit pricer than other coffee shops in the cities, but super tasty. In all, 5/5 for coffee, 3/5 for price, and 4/5 for aesthetic. read more

Had a superb latte here before heading over to watch the TC marathon one morning. Guy behind the counter was super friendly, and we chatted with a guy who said he was a regular. Was really impressed with the quality and flavor of the coffee! I've been to a decent amount of coffee shops around the twin cities this is a dark horse! Strong, refreshing, and well balanced. I don't live nearby, but I might make my way back just for this coffee! read more

Code Blu Coffee - Iced Latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I came across this as I was in thr area and wanted coffee. This is a very small little place so if you are at all nervous about covid be prepared it's single line in and you go the same way out. You are very nice I ordered a large iced mint mocha it is a stronger coffee flavor but it's really good I love that they have the half-and-half old and different versions of sweetener including a stevia THM approved sweetener which is awesome. Come back here again in a heartbeat for this coffee it is very good. read more

I have been going here since they opened and I seriously love this place. Whether you're meeting a friend to chat or need to get work done, the environment is incredible. So many cool decorations and art pieces, good wifi, clean bathroom, and don't even get me started with how good all of the drinks are. About the same price as going to Starbucks so why not check out this amazing local place with great employees and good vibes. I miss when they were open until 9 but it's understandable they close at 4 now. Love this place! read more

This place is so cute! Small area with seating. The staff is very friendly and they seem to know their regular customers well. I've been here 3 times and each time the staff has been wonderful!

Code Blu Coffee - Hot cocoa - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

They roast their own beans! Absolutely love picking up a bag of their freshly roasted house blend. Such a game changer when I make coffee at home. The beans are priced right! Along with their beans they have an amazing beverage menu... along with some solid pastry options. read more

As a grad student, I'm always on the lookout for prime places to get some work done--and for a place that has a lowkey atmosphere. Code Blu hits both of those targets. The guys behind the counter could not have been friendlier and there is a very large selection of beverages to choose from. The smell of freshly roasted coffee isn't too bad either! I stuck with whatever coffee they had on tap (is that a thing--maybe I'm getting coffee and beer confused) which was excellent and grabbed a donut as well. A little later, I ordered a large chai and had a So I Married an Axe Murderer moment when this giant chai stein was brought to my table. Holy cow it was huge! (Side note: if you haven't seen that movie go do it now). This shop with its small, yet cozy interior was the perfect place to knock out some homework and enjoy a cup of coffee. The donut, which comes from Grandma's Bakery, was pretty tasty as well. Fantastic new business in town! Go check them out! read more

Awesome place with good vibes and great quality coffee drinks and delicious fresh pastries. I appreciate their hours of operation especially on weekends! This is my go to shop when I'm Sew Accidentally left $150 cash on counter (fell out my my money clip) the owner searched and contacted me via internet to come pick up my money. Appreciate the honesty and compassion of the owners, but also they take pride in running a great business. If you are an Augsburg student or faculty member this is a go to location for your coffee fix. read more

Great little spot for coffee! The cold brew is amazing and smooth! When I walked in, there was breathtaking smell of roasted coffee. I knew that I was in the right place.

Code Blu Coffee - Great cold brew! - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I ordered a standard latte and it was too burnt, bitter, and scorching hot to drink. Unfortunately I recommend a hard pass on this place unless they can refine how to prepare drinkable (read: not saturated with sweeteners) coffee beverages. read more

Loved loved loved this place!! The environment was so unique and eclectic, and felt very cozy. The staff were very friendly and I loved the prices (lower than chain coffee shops). I ordered a vanilla almond milk latte and it was VERY bitter, but I enjoyed the fact that I had never tasted a latte like it. I also liked that they were pet friendly, as I saw a dog while I was there. Definitely recommend for a delicious coffee and a fun atmosphere!! read more

Wowowow! We walked here across the river from our Airbnb through a beautiful safe neighborhood. The door in was a little confusing but we found our way in. Slow evening, one man working who was patient with our need to gawk at the menu. We decided on iced house special espresso drinks. Our favorite part, a medium gets 4.5 shots in it!! I got the caramel cream and he got the turtle and they were amazing! The additional shots really make the drink magical, as we like it. We were ecstatic to find this place and try it out. read more

What a cute place!! Code Blu Coffee is right next to Zipps Liquor in the space that used to be Emilio's. They open at 7am which was perfect for me and beau since we were headed up north bright and early. The space is really nice and cozy. It's a dark decor with plenty of seating and beautiful windows that face out to Franklin. A perfect people watching spot! They have a fairly extensive menu with a variety of flavors available for drinks. Depending on what you get it's not pricey, and cheaper than some other spots in the area. With four sizes and the ability to use your own mug (which we did), you have a lot of options. The coffee itself is solid and the chai tea is a good blend of spice. It's a bit on the sweeter side but no where near the level of sugar of chain coffee shops. They also have a good assortment of biscotti, pastries, yogurt and pop. So of course we got donuts because it just goes with coffee! Beau got an apple fritter and I a salted caramel donut. OMG. Talk about delicious. My donut had caramel, peanuts and drizzled chocolate. It was really delicious ya'll. The apple fritter couldn't compare in my opinion but beau would take it any day. Overall it was a great experience and if we hadn't been heading out, it would be great to stay and chat with the owner. Check it out Yelpers!!! read more

Code Blue is a very good coffee place. The space itself is dark and dramatic and a little cramped, as a good coffee shop should be. The coffee is very good quality. They roast their own, and the beans they sell in several varieties are all good. Specialty drinks are nice too. Try the almond mocha. read more

Came here for a regular black coffee to catch up with a friend and got an apple fritter since their small selection of bakery items looked appealing. Was all worth the price I paid. The coffee was pretty good and based on the taste and price I would definitely return since it isn't too far away. The apple fritter was a good unhealthy snack to finish the week with between lunch and dinner. They had 1/2 price day old bakery as well which I would definitely check out next time. This seems more like a summer spot since you can sit outside and there is minimal seating outside. If you don't mind sitting next to a stranger, it's a good spot. Other than that, there are maybe 10 seats total inside and isn't a great place to stay and chat or study for long periods of time. The outside of the building is super cute with bright blue paint. The inside is also aesthetically pleasing with stain glass on the windows. Really cozy place, I just wish it was bigger! read more

The coffee was ok. The staff was friendly & accommodating, and the magnetic words to play with were fun, but unless I was in the area & in a rush, I don't think I'd pick there for coffee again. I got a turtle mocha & my brother got a black coffee. The black coffee was exceptionally weird. read more

Code Blu is a fantastic Seward coffee destination. I go a few times a week. I love the caramel macchiato (way better than Starbucks!) or the straight cold brew or iced chai. The coffee is strong and sweet and they roast their own beans! I always buy my beans from them. They have Grandmas Bakery treats, or Jimmy Dean sandwiches or frozen burritos if you want something to eat with your coffee. The staff are super friendly and I enjoy sitting at the front counter to chat with Dan and John. read more
