    I love it here. The food and coffee is so good. I ordered a breakfast bagel and a latte. Sat outside with my dog and people watched. Street parking isn't that bad but it was a Sunday afternoon so maybe would be busier at another time. It just seemed so cozy like a true coffee shop. Would definitely recommend!

    What a cute coffee shop with yummy treats! I stopped by after a lovely visit to the book store across the street, "Big Hill Books". It is clean, nice and comfy inside with comfortable seating. Great service! Today I got wild rice soup, which was super delish which the lovely Barista delivered to my table. I loved my cute single person seating table which was right in front of the closed-captioned TV. Very much enjoyed my visit. I will be back!

    My boyfriend and I came here for a morning coffee date! This place is one of our favorites and stays busy! The service is always great as well as the bakery items, coffee, and food! They have a nice patio area outside as well as seating indoors. We got the breakfast croissant, blueberry bread, and coffee! Everything was great! Highly recommend this place for small coffee gathering or a little 1:1 date.

    My family and I stopped by Cuppa Java to meet a friend while in town for a wedding on a busy Saturday morning. I think the ideal time to visit this popular coffee shop would be during an off time as it was very busy with folks enjoying a really pleasant early summer morning. We sat outside because it was so packed, and also because the weather was truly perfect. Just thinking about early June weather has me prepped and ready for it to cool off again! That being said, I can't speak much to the ambiance as I gave my order to my husband and took a seat outside with our daughter as the line was nearly out the door. We ordered a breakfast sandwich, a pastry, and each of us had an iced coffee. My coffee was really good - about what you expect for an iced coffee, and I remember the sandwich being really tasty. I think what makes this place stand out the most is how adorable it is and how it fits just perfectly into the neighborhood. I'd never been to this part of Minneapolis before and I absolutely loved the charm of this neighborhood. It felt very lived in, and I enjoyed how many people I saw out and about walking their dogs or taking their kids to the park on a weekend morning. I would absolutely return to this place next time I'm in the Twin Cities. I feel like it would be the perfect spot for an evening coffee date on a cold MN night - it just has this charm to it that I think would fit the bill, especially if it wasn't busy and you had time to really savor the pastries and your coffee.

    It's the neighborhood hang, deservedly. They get it all right: coffee, pastries, ambience, warm welcome.

    A steaming hot latte

    Grabbed coffee and a breakfast sandwich with some friends over the weekend. The sausage, egg, and cheese croissant was so good! I had an iced caramel latte to wash it down. It's on a corner and the inside lends to a lot of character and not a cookie cutter place like a lot of new shops these days. The staff were super nice and helpful! Definitely will be back to spend a little more time and chill with a book and coffee.

    Cuppa Java is a nice neighborhood coffee shop and hangout. Coffee is great and they off some pretty good breakfast options. I would recommend ordering food ahead of time as it can get pretty busy here and it's not exactly fastfood.

    An adorable little neighborhood spot in the Bryn Mawr area near Theo Wirth! Came here with some friends to get a little work done and fell in love. This sweet spot is on the corner with a few other shops nearby, but it definitely stands out. Service: Wonderful! The cashier was friendly and recommended certain pastries, the baristas were quick. They closed at 3 and we were still working, so the staff let us sit outside with our drinks after closing. Goodies: So many baked goods that surprisingly weren't too picked over for an hour before closing on a Sunday! I tried the GF brownie and was VERY pleasantly surprised to find it had a caramel layer on top. The other food items looked delish too. Drinks: I got an iced chai and the two that joined me got a hot chai and a cold brew. All great flavor and no complaints here. Seating: This spot is best for groups of 2-3! Several two-top tables inside lining the windows, one larger table back in the corner, and tables outside on both sides of the building. Support this quaint local spot!

First of all we found this place on Yelp and landed on it because of the high reviews and how close it was to our airbnb. I was a bit worried about a wait as it looked popular but with two people we were able to get in pretty quick (less than 5 min wait) on a Sunday morning. It was packed though, so there might be a wait. Space is at a premium in this building and despite being a bit crammed in it was still a great experience overall. Honestly everything was wonderful. The server: A+, ambiance: great, food: holy hell it was delicious. I had some sort of benedict that came on cornbread and was paired with some incredible hashbrowns. Chef's kiss. I also ordered a specialty mocha for fun and it also did not disappoint. This place is a slam dunk for breakfast. If you live in the twin cities and you haven't eaten here yet what are you doing!?

I have seen people argue with the owner. It's a small place and he values his staff so much that he will not opt for income over his staff's mental health or stress level. I admire that so much. All the more reason to take your close friend and enjoy a real down to earth local business!!!

It was also big, stuffed full of beans, cheese and hashbrowns, so it kept me full all afternoon. The salsa on the side was tasty and has the kind of heat that sneaks up on you a bit. That just got me to get a glass of water in addition to my coffee, which was excellent. There were lovely looking pastries in the case but I resisted this time. I think there are 3 rooms, lots of wood on the walls and in the booth construction gives it a cozy feel. The all gender bathrooms are spotless.

Beverage options were excellent too, stuff for everyone, mimosas, specialty coffee drinks, and really solid drip coffee. The menu has a great balance of savory and sweet, so naturally we tried both.
