    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!

    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!

    Beans for at home.

    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!

    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 !

    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!!

    #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.

    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!

    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! This sure is a hidden gem in the city! From coffee to bakery their food is good! Stop at this place you won't regret it.

    Parking is no issue. The hot chocolate is way too sweet. The cold press is very nice. The Peruvian hot coffee is superb. Liquor store next door is very convenient.

    Fancy water!

    It is a tight space. The service was amazing and I really enjoyed the coffee. They clearly have quality beans to get such a rich brew.

    These folks make proper coffee. Their espresso drinks are some of the best I've found in the neighborhood so far

    Backstory may have the most beautiful coffee shop interior I've ever been in…read more The second I walked in, I actually laughed because it felt way too gorgeous to be "just" a coffee shop. The soaring industrial ceilings, massive windows pouring in natural light, dark wood shelving, plants everywhere, books, artwork, vintage decor, and incredible lighting somehow make the whole place feel both grand and peaceful. It's the kind of space where you immediately want to cancel your plans and spend the entire afternoon reading, working, or simply existing. Every direction you look feels thoughtfully designed. One thing I couldn't find online beforehand was whether there would be places to plug in my laptop. Thankfully, there are plenty of outlets, making it a fantastic place to work. Even better, despite its size, the atmosphere stays calm and quiet. It never felt loud or chaotic. The drinks were excellent. I tried the Lime Creamsicle Iced Matcha and later ordered a hot matcha, complete with a beautiful heart poured into the milk. I especially appreciated that they use what tasted like genuine, high-quality matcha rather than the overly sweet, filler-heavy mixes that so many coffee shops rely on. You can absolutely taste the difference. I also picked up two pastries: an artichoke and cheese croissant (I think it was Gouda?) and the coffee cake. Both were delicious, but that coffee cake deserves its own paragraph. It was huge, incredibly moist and rich, and served in a large paper liner almost like an oversized cupcake. I'd happily go back just for that. If I had one wish, it would simply be for the menu to match the creativity of the space. The coffee, tea, and espresso selections felt a bit limited considering how unique everything else is. This seems like the perfect place to experiment with fun specialty drinks and elevated touches. Imagine pink peppercorn on a cortado, mint dust on a cappuccino, unique flavored cold foams, rotating seasonal teas, or other creative finishes. The environment practically begs for a menu that's just as imaginative. The staff interaction was fine but didn't really stand out. When I asked whether they recommended the Lime Creamsicle Matcha, the response was basically, "I mean... it tastes like a lime creamsicle." It wasn't unfriendly, just not especially engaging. The prices are definitely on the higher end, but between the stunning atmosphere, quality ingredients, and excellent pastries, I'd happily return. Backstory isn't just somewhere to grab coffee. It's somewhere you want to linger. If you're looking for one of the most beautiful, calming coffee shops in Minneapolis, this belongs at the top of your list.

    Cute spot for coffee and hanging out! The line went fairly quickly, and the barista was patient and…read morethorough when taking my order! The Americano I ordered was ready quickly and very hot! I would come back with friends and/or to hang out to get work done! FYI: There's free parking on the road behind Backstory, parallel to Washington.
