Cute coffee shop with tasty coffee. This is a smaller coffee shop with limited hours so plan ahead. The owner is friendly and runs a unique place. There are a few burritos on the menu and donuts and vegan banana bread. Please consider a gluten free burrito option. Plenty of street parking. This is a place where a smaller group would work due to limited seating. read more

Stopped her a few weeks ago to grab coffee as part of my coffee compass journey. I generally loved the community feel of the coffee shop, the patrons and staff were nice. I ordered the sweet matcha & a blackberry latte. The drinks were good & came out fairly fast. Seemed consistently busy. Overall a nice coffee shop. Only thing is limited business hours. read more

Great spot for coffee in Minneapolis! I've been meaning to check them out but I always miss their open hours. I got the iced miel which was great! Nice depth of flavor, and it was really affordable pricing for the twin cities. Service was quick and nice. Very cute interior with local art inside. Plenty of free street parking. read more

I've been wanting to come here for a while. I got a toasted marshmallow latte and the vegan banana bread, both of which were delicious. I loved the look of the place too (see pictures), but the barista was very mean to my friend. He was sort of rude to me and my other friend, but he was just mean to my one friend. He asked maybe 2 questions and the barista acted like it was such an inconvenience. Then when we got in the car, some of my friend's latte spilled and it was way too hot. We both had gotten lattes and mine was hot, but a normal temperature for a drink while his was scalding. read more

Finally a shop that has decaf espresso as an option! They even list it on their menu so I'm not left guessing at the counter. I love black coffee, and find the smell nostalgic; however, due to a medication I take, I can't drink fully caffeinated beverages. This place allows me to indulge my sugar coffee cravings without the risk of consuming too much caffeine! Note decaf espresso can still contain 10mg! Popped in with my partner for a Chai and a decaf Mocha. The chai was in our top two! We've been traveling around to various coffee shoppes in search of the best chai for my partner for quite some time. This was one of the best with an added shot of vanilla & whole milk! Easy street parking. Close to the parkways if you want to take a walk! read more

Got a latte and breakfast burrito and both were perfect! I ordered a 16oz latte and at many places I usually order my lattes w/ light syrup and an extra shot because they'll end up coming out as warm-ish milk that's super sweet w/ just a hint of espresso flavor. This was not that. I just ordered it as-is and it was perfectly HOT, not overly sweet, and each sip I could actually taste espresso. It was perfect. My burrito was delicious and stuffed w/ ingredients - no biting into a chunk of just tortilla. I ran an errand after I left Cosmic and when I got home, both my latte and burrito were still hot. Oh, and prices are VERY reasonable. I am so glad I live close because I definitely will be back! read more

Overall (5 stars composite score): Good, fast and affordable. Robust lattes and great eats that are priced to be kind to your wallet. This is the classic coffeehouse that we need to see more of. Drinks/Food (100% of 1.5 star total): 1.5 stars Strongest lattes in Twin Cities. 4 shots of espresso in their 16 oz and 2 shots of espresso in the 10 oz. Everyone else does 2 shots and 1 shot respectively. They offer a simple food menu that is solid and satisfying. Service (100% of 1 star total): 1 star Shout to Dusty Wahl, your cosmic neighbor and the man in charge. Customers are always guaranteed a good vibe, a warm sandwich and a hot drink that will leave you alert. Value (100% of 1/2 star total): .5 stars Best value latte anywhere. 16oz latte is only $4.5 with quad shots when other places would easily charge $6.50+ for the same. Food is so reasonably priced that fast food joints are worried. I can grab a Sunny Sammie for $3.50 and it's super filling. The $6 Boss Burrito can satiate even the most ravenous of appetites. WiFi/Power (100% of 1/2 star total): .5 stars Super fast internet speed 350mbps down and 350 mbps up. Video calls or streaming are at home here. Power strips all over the place guarantees you'll never be lacking a place to plug into. Seating (100% of 1/2 star total): Cozy, with plenty of seats. This is a comfortable place to work and relax with space to stretch out. Atmosphere (100% of 1 star total): 1 stars Bathrooms is clean and spacious. Be aware the faucet sometimes comes out VERY hot, even for the cold water. There seems to be a delay of the flow temperature. There's is a low cabinet that can double for a baby changing table if necessary. read more

When I want a super quick, really cheap, and smallish, but equally satisfying breakfast sandwich, I end up in the drive through line at McDonald's for a McGriddle or egg McMuffin...or both if I had a couple of beers the night before that I need to shake off. No shame--everyone does it from time to time. Cosmic Coffee has an even better option at the same price. A quick five minute walk to this northeast coffee shop and I can grab one of their Rising Reuben's for $3.50. It has egg, corned beef, and maple syrup that looks like it was thrown together on a panini grill. It's now my permanent replacement for the McGriddle. Never thought I'd see the day. Minneapolis has a lot of aesthetically pleasing and high end brunch places--but not enough options for those mornings you're contemplating the McDonald's or Taco Bell drive thrus. read more

While I didn't recognize 90% of them, I still thought it was great, especially for those interested in something new. So here are my thoughts on everything I had. Zio Vecchio - i really liked the pistachio pesto, the cheese kept slipping out, for those unfamiliar with "mortadella" it's thinly shaved pork (think deli meat) mixed with other things. All Around the World (N/A) - was concerned about the vinegar, and komboucha, but neither was overpowering. instead it was a well balanced and refreshing drink. Panna Cotta - always wanted to try this. there's had blueberries and toasted coconut flakes which gave a nice texture. Tiramisu - heavy on the alcohol but delish In all it was lovely experience and I'm glad to have visited.

I love myself a cheesesteak and I wanted to see if this would be a new favorite I'd enjoy wearing out. They loaded this sandwich with onions, green peppers, and mushrooms. They added some of their pasta sauce on the bottom as well. The sandwich was good, but I thought it needed a bit more flavoring/spices. The bread was some of the softest I've experienced though and the cheese was a good amount. The combo was paired with a pickle spear and a bag of potato chips. This may sound strange, but can potato chips steal the show? Because they did. Super crunch and salty. Yum-O! I tried their coleslaw too and it seemed like to sat there awhile. It was tasteless and I ended up throwing the pint out. I will say the staff here are very friendly and helped me decide on some sandwiches and gave me an honest review of their favorites and least favorites. I appreciate that. I'm sure those chips will bring me back in the future and I'll be open to trying another sandwich.

Dogwood Coffee

They have a huge indoor and outdoor seating area and the patio is dog friendly - which was great to bring my god (they had water bowls and all). They also roast their beans here, so it's very cool to see that as well A few girlfriends and I sat outside on a beautiful Friday morning and enjoyed coffee and catching up. We ended up all getting one of the seasonal specials the spumoni (lavender honey latte) and we all really enjoyed our drink. They also have a wide variety of pastries from if you local spots including Marc Heu, which is awesome as going to the actual location can be a bit of a nightmare with long lines. The barista were all very friendly and were churning out orders quickly. There is some construction going on in the area right now so you do have to loop around a little bit which is a little confusing, but there is a huge parking lot with tons of available parking Another huge perk as it is also on the coffee compass pass - I'm already planning to go back tomorrow to use that BOGO deal :)

I stopped by during Art-A-Whirl and my first thought when I got closer was "I made a mistake, this…read morewas a bad decision" because of the crowd of people walking all over and the traffic. I can't be more thankful that they have dedicated customer parking only spots right out front because I would have skipped altogether if I couldn't find parking. Love that they have an accessible ramp, a spacious patio with some outdoor seating, really spacious indoor seating and clean bathrooms. Staff was friendly and despite the constant stream of new customers they were so fast and efficient in getting everything out quickly. Coffee was good, the chocolate chip cookie by Marc Heu was a bit disappointing though (that's not a Dogwood issue though) it just a want chocolate chip cookie-ing. Reasonable prices, friendly staff and dedicated parking is a win in my book. Also love that they partner with Sweet Renaissance for special drinks for the month.

The ambiance is high energy and quieter outside. It never got too hot outside, plenty of shade and a breeze between the buildings. The food is spectacular. We had amazing appetizers, especially the salmon and tuna. Our steaks were perfect, order a variety at your table and share. The sides were well made, especially the fingerling potatoes and broccoli. Listen to your waitstaff, they know what they are talking about and talked us out of a couple dishes and into better ones. Overall, it wasn't inexpensive but it was well worth it for those who appreciate unique and flavorful meals. We would definitely eat here again.

Porzana was an absolutely AMAZING experience! The food was delicious and the service was incredible as well. More than that, the vibes were great! This spot is truly the whole package. The restaurant was much bigger than I expected which was also nice. It was too hot when we were there, but they also had a cute patio on the side of the restaurant. We got a TON of dishes as we were treating ourselves and here is what we thought of each... Empanadas - Perfect size, crispy dough, and FULL of meat. The sauce, mango salsa, and the aoli on the side were the perfect editions. Sweet Corn Agnolotto - Literally NO notes. There is a reason why this is all over theirs and visitors social media. It is fresh and bright, yet has an amazing depth of flavor. Asparagus - These were perfectly charred and bright. They didn't feel heavy at all which was awesome. Entrana - The main event and so dang good. Perfectly cooked, tender, and the flavor was excellent. We love steak and honestly do a pretty good job cooking it ourselves, but this is somewhere we would go for a good steak. This was my top meat choice. The chimichurri and Lla Jua sauces were a perfect pairing with this as well. Ribeye - This ribeye was also delicious! It was tender and juicy, and had good flavor. My fiance preffered this to the Entrana though we both loved them both. Papas Aplastadas - These were fried potatoes with bacon, cheese, and beurre blanc. They were good, but not great. Honestly, I think we just loved the other dishes so much that these didn't even get a fair chance. Though these had the most ingredients, I would say they were the least flavorful to me. Olive Oil Cake - Moist, but still dense and didn't really impress us much. I wished instead of the marscapone there was something lighter on top as it all felt heavy after a big meal. Sorbet - skip the vanilla. The honey lavendar was an absolute show stopper. Cocktails were also top teir and they had mocktail options as well!

Recently my adult son, adult daughter and I gathered for a weekday breakfast at this trendy place. In my experience the descriptor "trendy" often has a somewhat negative connotation. It can be associated with long lines, high prices, harried staff and mediocre food. IMHO none of those things are associated with The Breakfast Club. We started by sharing an order of Monkey Bread [ (roughly a cinnamon/caramel dough baked in a bundt pan (or at least something round and hollow)], topped with icing and with sections that one may tear off). A bit messy but overall a great start to the day. My son and daughter both ordered more conventional breakfasts and both were very pleased with their choices. I went with the Senor Borracho which I found flavorful and delicious. I love a good Huevos Rancheros and the Borracho is an interesting twist on the classic dish. Service was excellent. The coffee was decent and mugs were kept full. Noise didn't seem problematic. Parking could be an issue at times.

After reading several great reviews, we decided to try Cardigan Donuts while visiting Minneapolis…read more We initially had trouble finding one of the locations, so we ended up visiting the shop inside the IDS Center. The donuts themselves were very good and definitely lived up to the positive reviews. They were fresh, flavorful, and worth trying if you're in the area. The location, however, made for a very unusual experience. The IDS Center felt almost deserted during our visit, with only a handful of businesses still open. It gave the building an unexpectedly empty atmosphere, which was a bit surprising. We also had a difficult time finding a restroom, and no one we asked seemed to know where one was located. While the setting was a little odd, the quality of the donuts made the stop worthwhile. If you're planning to visit, just be aware that the location itself may be a bit different than you expect.

The older reviews were a bit harsh, but the newer ones made it appear that new management has turned things around, so I parked the car and sidled in. The cute little interior reminded me of several laid-back "hippy-era" coffee shops I used to frequent on the East Coast. It took me a few minutes to figure out what I wanted from the breakfast menu, after which everything was prepared and delivered to my table promptly. I went a bit healthier, selecting the steel-cut oats with brown sugar and fresh strawberries (they were out of bananas that day), complemented by a great maple cardamom latte. Ooh, I just remembered that the ginger-molasses cookie I ordered is still in my laptop case....excuse me while I check it out.........Mmmm, that's really good also! I ended up spending a few hours on my laptop. It's a small space overall, with only one bathroom, but it's a place that I will make sure to re-visit when I'm next in the area.
