Vicky L.

Got the ube latte and Vietnamese coffee with pandan! Ube latte has a good and strong ube flavor without being too sweet. I got latte cause I'm lactose intolerant and it was nice to be able to get plant based milk. The pandan was also strong but a little too sweet for me personally but I think most things are too sweet. Overall will definitely be back!

Salted caramel coffee

Càphin is one of my favorite coffee shops in Minneapolis. It offers specialty drinks using Vietnamese-grown beans and matcha. In addition, they have stuff from their bakery and weekly pop ups within the local community. Their staff are friendly and the interior is well lit and comforting. Though it is small with less than 10 tables, they utilize their space well and I've often been able to find seating.

Strawberry matcha

This has quickly become one of my favorite coffee spots in the Twin Cities. I love Vietnamese coffee, and Caphin does it exceptionally well. Easily some of the best I've had. They're also part of the Coffee Passport from 16oz Days, which is a fun bonus since you can get a BOGO stamp while trying something new. The drink menu is creative and everything I've tried has been fantastic. So far I've had the Ube Dream, the Egg Coffee (Cà Phê Trứng), and the Strawberry Matcha. All of them were amazing, but the egg coffee is my personal favorite. It's incredibly creamy, unique, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. They also have a great selection of pastries, including gluten free options. The shop itself is on the smaller side and located in a strip mall with a decent amount of parking. Because it's cozy, seating can fill up quickly during busy times, so don't be surprised if it's standing room only when you walk in. Their mobile ordering system is also super convenient. The staff is always friendly and happy to give recommendations, which makes the experience even better. Definitely a must visit if you love Vietnamese coffee.

Ube dream with oatmilk (left) Latte 3shits of espresso and whole milk(right) - both were delicious!!!
Nicole N.

Decided to stop here on a lazy Saturday afternoon and had no regrets! This place is located in a strip mall with a fair amount of parking. This is a smaller establishment, so don't be surprised if when you come in, there isn't a place to sit during peak times! This place is dog friendly! Yes, you can bring your dog inside! With that being said, please be respectful. We saw some adorable well behaved doggies! We also saw one that was barking and growling. You know your dog, make the right choice... The decor inside this place is so cute! Floral and modern! Very cozy! There a plug in's next to the green couch and brown chairs. Not sure about anywhere else. We got the Ube dream with oatmilk and a latte with whole milk and 3 shots of Espresso. Both were truly delicious! We would definitely come back!! If you are in the area, give this place a try! The staff were super nice and I love supporting small businesses!!

Banana matcha large
Lily D.

Always a busy spot during the weekends - because the coffee is so good! Egg coffee can come hot or cold - I've always ordered the hot, and I recommend it that way! The egg foam is creamy, sweet, and thick. The coffee balances everything out, also very tasty on its own. Banana Matcha is a seasonal drink. A sweet drink that only comes in large, but you'll want a large anyways!

Banana Latte and Ube Dream
Deborah C.

I was excited to try this place out since I always love coffee shops that incorporate Asian flavors. We came on a Friday morning and we thankfully managed to grab a table because it got pretty busy. My partner wanted to get some work done on his laptop and it seems like only the two tables right when you walk in are in course proximity to the outlets. There's free wifi and two bathrooms it's definitely a good place to hang out for a while or just catch up with a friend. I got the Ube Dream, which I really enjoyed. It had the right balance of ube flavoring. I would definitely try out more of their menu next time I'm in town!

Egg coffee
Anushka M.

Cute cafe within a small strip mall, making parking easy. I always love a Vietnamese coffee spot and Caphin had exactly what I wanted. The egg coffee was delicious. It definitely needs to be mixed very well but it's the perfect blend of coffee and the egg cream sweetness.

Miranda M.

Great coffee! I have tried their matcha from the truck so I have been wanting to come to their cafe for their coffee! Salted caramel is a 10/10 if you don't like the bitterness of regular viet coffee. Pastries are okay; mine was a bit cold and not a lot of options in general. They have two gender neutral bathrooms but not a lot of seatings. Vibes are kinda cute and charming but I wouldn't dine in on a really cold day because a lot of the seating is right in front of the day .

Banana latte
Destiny H.

Yesterday I met a friend for coffee and it was awesome to see how busy this place was! We were lucky to get a table and then ordered our drinks. I got a banana latte and it was sooooo amazing! It was a nice treat for a cold weekend. My friend and I spent a few hours there and it wasn't too loud and a nice vibe! Also loved that they are dog friendly so my pup got to come hang out! Can't wait to come back!

Vanilla Cold Brew, Splash of Almond Milk, Cherry Cold Foam

Stopped in mid Saturday morning after a yoga class next door. It was busy but the line to order moved fast. They specialize in Vietnamese offerings like egg coffee and Mochi bagels but also had a great matcha menu and I opted for a cold brew that was soooo good with cherry cold foam! The drinks are not only delicious but they're beautiful too! The space is bright and vibrant but on the smaller side. Will definitely visit again when in the area!

Pastries
Lauren H.

Gorgeously decorated coffee shop. Lots of delicious drinks and snacks. Love it here! Service is quick and friendly. It's a small shop, but I was able to snag the last open seat today while I sipped on my espresso drink.

Tiramisu Latte
Megan M.

We arrived on a weekend and it was busy which was awesome! I ordered the tiramisu latte with almond milk and it was delicious, it even came with a little treat on top! I love going to places with seasonal drinks.

Jami W.

One of my favorite coffee shops in MPLS. The pandan latte is out of this world. The service is always quick and so friendly. The decor is so cute with ample seating and a fun photo op wall. The dog pics are my fave :). Really appreciate everything they've done during the struggles in Minneapolis as an immigrant coffee shop. Keep up the good work and I hope everyone continues to support this great spot - they deserve it!

So when I passed the sign here that said "Warm Scones, Great Chai", I knew I had to try it! It's located kitty-corner from Isles Bun & Coffee, so you can always pick up more pastries from there after if you're not feeling like having a scone. We were the first customers of the day, and the gentleman that opened the door for us was very friendly. I think the interior was very cute, it was very cozy and has a homey vibe, but with seating that looked like it was from a Marie Calendars or Bakers Square. It was super quiet in there, no background music. I was kind of afraid to talk and felt like I should whisper like I was in a library. I got the Uncommon Chai and a chai scone. While the scone was ok, the chai was underwhelming. It just tasted like hot milk with a sprinkle of chai flavors somewhere in there. I could barely taste any cardamom, cinnamon or clove as is common in chai. I would say this is probably a MN interpretation of chai, definitely not authentic. Kind of like my family's former Chinese restaurant in southern MN. Not authentic, but rather a Midwest version of Chinese food. The cafe is in an old house, so this place is not wheelchair accessible from what I could see.

I ended up at this coffee bar after a little digging. I learned that Curioso Coffee Bar's approach…read moreto sourcing beans was shaped by the founder's time in Panama, where he roasted his own coffee using beans sourced directly from local producers and sold at his café. I know firsthand that coffee is king in Panama, so I figured anything inspired by their incredible coffee culture had to be worth trying. I visited Curioso on an early Sunday morning and immediately found it special. Not just for its coffee, but for the ambiance, service, and overall vibe. Curioso is a large, welcoming space that's part coffee bar, part brewery. I was immediately impressed by the variety of entertainment for all ages: arcade games, pool tables, dart boards, a skee-ball machine, board games, and even claw machines. Seating options are abundant, from cozy couches to tables and high-tops. There's a toddler play area and a library filled with books for all ages. The space feels family-friendly and is warm, welcoming community gathering space for all. I noticed flyers for free community events Curioso hosts, like Sunday Morning Yoga and Tuesday Trivia nights. The service was equally warm! The barista, although managing a busy Sunday morning solo, took her time to explain coffee options, highlight weekly specials with her own recommendations, and describe the pastries in partnership with Fruit & Grain and Bagels from St. Paul Bagelry. Oat milk is the standard for all their drinks! (Which I loved) We tried two speciality lattes: the "Butter Luck Next Year" (iced) and the "Blue Ribbon Peach Pie" (hot). Both were exceptional! Strong, robust, and delicious. Alongside, we also enjoyed an "Everything" handpie and a "Blueberry Lemon Curd" pop tart. Both pastries were out of this world delicious! I loooooved this pairing. I'm a sucker for savory, so the "Everything" handpie reigned supreme for me. Although I don't have a fur-baby (yet), I would like to include that Curioso is fur-friendly. I'm looking forward to returning several more times!

I ordered one of their seasonal specials--the banana cream pie latte. It was very good. The ambiance was OK. Smaller seating area and located in a strip mall. Although my drink was good it wasn't necessarily something to write home about. I might come here again if in the area and in need of a coffee, but probably not a place I will necessarily seek out.

They're always so friendly, quick to offer suggestions, and generally just great people; every single one of them. My go-to is an iced vanilla or hazelnut coffee paired with a puppy dog tail! I've also had their famous cinnamon rolls, scones, cinnamon coffee cake, and quiche, all of which I've ordered again and again. The portions are pretty generous, especially the rolls, so I usually split them with a friend or two. Their space isn't very big, but it still offers a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating. I've spent many workdays and hangouts here and always feel so comfortable in their space. To top it off, their prices are unbeatable, they offer a treat to first-time guests, and they have a punch card system for returning frequent flyers like myself! There's nothing not to like about them!

The interior of the space is small, and fills up quickly most days, especially weekends! Staff have the conveyor belt moving and you can expect quick and efficient service! Definitely not as aesthetic of a spot as other Twin Cities coffeeshops and bakeries, but you probably aren't headed there for the decor. What the space lacks in visual appeal, it more than makes up on in taste! The Cinnamon Bun is extra large, perfectly baked with crispy exterior and chewy inside, smothered in the best frosting you've ever had! Pair it with your favorite coffee order and your morning just got a million times better! Don't hesitate to venture into their other offerings as well...the caramel roll is top notch! This spot should be on anyone's MUST VISIT list when coming to the Twin Cities! Walk around nearby Lake of the Isles after for the perfect day!

Caffetto is the quintessential Minneapolis coffee shop--they've got tasty, reasonably priced drinks…read more(including a robust selection of teas both hot and iced), good hours, and a real fun punk cafe vibe (lots of fun graffiti and vintage pinball machines). I think Caffetto kind of corners a market that no one else has by being open so late--most coffee shops are barely open past noon, and they're open until midnight! I've personally spent many a late night there finishing up work--it's a really cozy atmosphere, and the selection of pinball machines in the basement are the perfect study break activity. The staff are all great and even when there's a line, they get through it quick and are still able to offer great recommendations--while I usually prefer an iced green tea with no ice, I've tried the lattes, cold press, Thai coffee, and hot chocolate and have genuinely never had a bad drink here. The only thing is to make sure you watch your step if you're walking in the basement--even though it has seating and pinball and the bathroom, it's more of an unfinished space with uneven flooring and I personally rolled my ankle and fell there last year haha.

I had a triple decaf almond milk latte that tasted like it was caffeinated to me but didn't give me the buzz I'm so addicted to, that's when you know it's a good decaf. I love the coziness and the unique artwork in Caffetto. I look forward to coming back at an earlier hour to feed my addiction. But it's great to know I have a go to coffee shop for those afternoon cravings where the decaf tastes just as delightful! UPDATE- 2 hours later: there's additional seating and a pinball machine room in the basement, glad I went downstairs to the bathroom.
