    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.

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

    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.

    Caramel Latte and Sausage Egg and Cheese Croissant

    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!

    Turtle Mocha
    Katherine C.

    My friend and I came here because it's one of the few coffee shops that are open later than 5pm. She ordered the chai and I ordered a turtle mocha. She said she likes the chai here because it's creamy but not too sweet. The turtle mocha I got was okay, nothing special but a solid drink (although definitely on the sweet side). They did have a good array of pastries that I wish I had tried. However, my friend ordered the chicken tenders and described it with the words "tastes like Tyson" - not impressive for $8.50. Did leave me pretty skeptical about the food but maybe it just was not the right thing to order. While small it has a good amount of tables and chairs for the space, although most if not all the tables are for 2 people so bigger groups might have more a problem finding seating. Street parking is pretty easy on the street and in the surrounding areas, although the shop itself is located at the triangle corner of an intersection. Overall a decent neighborhood coffee shop and a someplace to go if you're looking for a coffeeshop vibe or a place to do work in the evening. I don't think I was too big of a fan of the drinks and the chicken tenders were disappointing to say the least, but maybe we just picked the wrong things to get there.

    They call their red eye a 'slap in the face' (love it!) I personally had a white cloud, which is a sweet coffee (white chocolate and toasted marshmallow) and would recommend it to my boujee people swinging by.

The restaurant is quite large and super cute. We were greeted and seated right away. The walls have fun little things written in chalk and it is very bright and cheery inside. We received the menu and waited a bit before our order was taken. We did not need to wait long for our food to arrive. My daughter and I ordered the same thing with slight variations--Two Eggs, Potatoes, and Toast. I chose the Hen Potatoes which were amazing! Tender on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside--not greasy at all. My daughter had the hash browns, which were just as good--not greasy, but perfectly crisp and flavorful. The seven grain toast and jam were great and our scrambled eggs were cooked just how we like. My daughter also ordered a fruit cup, which was filled with a bigger variety of fruit than she expected and she loved it. I ordered a side of bacon and it was delicious. While the food wowed us, our service was just okay. She was polite enough, but did not check on us until we were well into our meal. Thankfully, we didn't need anything. Our check and my payment were dealt with promptly, which we appreciated. We also ordered a caramel roll to go and were very glad we did. Super tasty and not overly sweet. If you are in the area, stop in. You will not regret it. The prices are higher, but it is worth every penny. We will definitely be returning when we are in the area.

They say to take a seat outside (where they have several benches and your name will be called on the loud speaker. They were spot on with the time and did announce that our table was ready. The menu consists of breakfast and lunch. There are a great number of choices. Although they have markings to indicate that dishes are gluten free or vegetarian, beware. When offering drinks, I asked about the kind of teas they had. Too bad they don't even have an herbal tea on the list. I ordered the thick bacon and eggs. The bacon was really good. The eggs were perfect. However, I asked about replacing the potatoes with the fruit. Because of allergies, I asked what kind of fruit they serve. I expected a surcharge to change to fruit. I was not told that there would be an extra surcharge to leave out my allergy fruit and go with only one kind. This was bad on the part of the server. They only had two choices of bread and no choice of gluten free bread. That severely limits the choices of someone sensitive to gluten. My husband ordered the Harvest Scramble. Luckily, they were able to leave out the green peppers. Interesting that so many dishes had green peppers in them. He enjoyed the eggs, but ordered the fruit, instead of potatoes. He said he would like the fruit mixture which had melons, pineapple and one blackberry. He ordered the wheat toast which he said was not memorable. All in all, we enjoyed the experience with a number of flaws. They need to tighten up their menu and make sure that people with special nutritional needs are attended to carefully.
