    I love Dogwood coffee. I usually get a maple latte (or venture to try one of their seasonal drinks) a with their bear hug roast. So so good! As a fan, I also appreciate their loyalty rewards program: buy 10 drinks, get 1 free.

    I like Dogwood Coffee, and was SO excited when they opened this location two blocks from my house. Good coffee, nice staff. I particularly like their speciality Marc Heu pastry that they do on the weekends. This location is pretty spacious and has cheerful decor; I've brought my laptop and worked from here many times. Giving 4 stars because 1) they're slow. The light rail is across the street -- if you're trying to get a coffee before you catch the light rail, don't. You'll likely miss your train bc of the wait. 2) Expensive. I can't get an americano here everyday because I'd go bankrupt. Nice as a sometimes treat, though!

    They are a closed business. We took a long walk to this coffee shop and there is no sign of life.

    Cute area to stop in to get some work done or even catch up with a friend. Love the outdoor area the most as it's spacious. Lots of room for parking

    I came here for a Fluffy Bakery pop-up (scored one of their Browned Butter Date donuts, too-score!), and I am so glad that I did. This coffee shop hit all the right notes--the decor was great with a blend of chic (dark wood and beautiful seating) and playful (that wallpaper, though!). Great indoor and outdoor seating options for parties of all sizes. I was really impressed with the selection of beverages. They had all the classic coffeehouse favorites plus some fun others, as well as an above average set of options for customization (they offer maple syrup as a sweetener!). I grabbed a cappuccino (almond milk and maple syrup), and it went down oh so well. Fantastic, friendly service (I needed some help choosing my second pastry), too! The only downside here is that parking is a little bit tight, so you might need to walk a couple of blocks.

    Cafe Latte with Oat Milk

    Tried a couple of drinks here. Both the hot oat milk cafe latte and oat milk matcha latte were delicious treats on a chilly winter morning. I also thoroughly enjoyed their raisin pastry. I heated it for a couple seconds in the microwave (at home) and it was buttery and light. An A+ breakfast. The interior of the cafe was well decorated and had plenty of spaces to hang out with friends or work independently. The staff were also super friendly and got the drink orders out quickly. It looks like the partner with other local businesses as well, which was cool. They were selling Niko Niko boba and some food items in the refrigerated section by the register. I imagine if I lived in this building, I'd be coming here quite often. Def recommend giving this place a visit!

    Love this cafe! They recently moved from their old St Paul location to this more brightly lit, spacious spot. I love their cold brew and latte, and I believe they also sell pastries from Marc Heu. Service is always friendly and welcoming. Parking is street only but it's relatively easy to find. They have outlets throughout the cafe as well for anyone looking to get work done.

    Amazing place, amazing coffee. One of the best places in Minneapolis & St. Paul. Great prices & good atmosphere.

    Brown sugar cardamom latte was delicious!! Busy but great service
    Katie O.

    Great service and delicious drinks! Busy which is great but would not recommend as a remote work location. A little loud.

    Great service and ambiance! The lattes were good and service was quick. I would go back

    Spumoni on the left and salted maple on the right.
    Abigail C.

    First, a decent amount of parking and designated pickup 15min parking spot. The interior, open and large- room to get work done! The coffee, the spumoni has a slightly off flavor, I was getting some cinnamon notes and the description online didn't mention cinnamon (6/10, wouldn't order again), also woodsy notes and slight almost Smokey flavor. The salted maple cold foam nitro had fruity notes and a good flavor- it just seemed watered down, definitely not what I think of when something says nitro (7/10, if it was stronger it would be better).

    Iced vanilla latte
    Michaela S.

    Great coffee, spacious, and friendly staff. I love Dogwood coffee. The teas and coffees are great. If you're dining in I recommend coming early as it gets busy during the later morning (especially seats with outlets).

    A fan of the NE location, I was ecstatic to test out the newly moved location to University and I am proud to announce that the same great service and quality of products (merchandise, coffee beans, menu) remains identical to the other locations minus good parking. Should you take the light rail, this is an amazing location to exit and walk across the street. Contrary, if you drive, be prepared to walk a few blocks if not more. I wasn't strapped for time today, so parking was no issue. Contrary, this would be a messy location if time wasn't on my side. None the less, the University location is gorgeously spacious. There is a plethora of seating including funky booths, a bar, cute tables and a larger exterior patio. Unlike the NE location, you can totally come here with a large group and know that seating will be available. The barista mentioned they are awaiting their liquor license and if it passes, they will serve wine and beer. My favorite drink ever is the seasonal Beach Please and I'm so happy it continues to be on the menu. Best of luck in your new location, Dogwood!

    Great place to meet, study, play chess, and get Caffeinated at Dogwood Coffee Co, 825 Carlton St, St. Paul.

The polished hardwood floors and wood tables and large windows give it a modern sleek look which seems to be the trend for coffee bars motif in this decade. This is a huge improvement from the old Lori's. I did have my usual brewed of dark roast and found it one of the best. I actually complimented the barista on the roast who didn't reveal any secrets but did say, "we make it strong". If you haven't been here for awhile give it a try as it's a perfect place for studying, working or just contemplating your life so far. This is more of a walk up place so there is no parking lot and since this is across from the campus you'll have to park well down the block of the many neighborhood street to the West. **Still great coffee but no longer good selection of pastries and fresh baked cookies.

But that doesn't mean Lori's isn't worth stopping in. Here's what I love about Lori's: 1. It's an affordable, local small business that's essentially "on campus." I'd much rather spend my money here than on the overpriced coffee in the student center. 2. It's a community hub. People come here to share time with neighbors and classmates. There are plenty of regulars and the staff gets to know you and won't hesitate to pull out some recent photo and tell you a story. 3. THE SOUP. They have homemade soup every day for $3 (includes two slices of bread). They only cycle about two different kinds, but it's SO cheap and filling and wonderful on a cold winter day. When I forget my lunch, this is my go-to. 4. Patio/Seating/Mim's. It's attached to Mim's on the left (so you can get food AND coffee) and a large extra seating area on the right. It's a great place to cozy up and read. Also the patio is really nice in the summer, you can sit out on the lawn in the sunshine and watch people going about their business. I am very grateful for my reliable soup spot, and for cheap coffee on those cold mornings when you just can't wake yourself up. Thanks, Lori's!

Actually, the latter they seem pretty proud of because when I came in this weekend the very friendly barista had pretty strong opinions about what coffee would go well with what baked good.

Lots of families from the surrounding residential neighborhood, which is right on the Northern edge of St Paul, as well as people on their own making progress with their laptop activities. They have a lot of ourdoor seating, including a fenced in area which I assume is meant for dogs. There's a separate kids area with toys, and if you go further back there is a gift shop with very cute artisan items. This is a very happy place that I hope you will try!

When you walk in, there are people gathered at tables both inside and out, and the space actually extends much farther back than you'd expect... even into a little hidden area or annex in the back. I ordered from their spring menu and got the pistachio rose latte with oat milk, along with a breakfast sandwich they customized for me without meat. Everything was delicious, and the vibes are immaculate! I'm already excited to go back on a sunny day to sit at the picnic tables or head into the quieter annex type rooms to get some work done. Such an interesting coffee shop--I can't wait to tell more people about it!
