    Stopped in here for a mid day pick me up. Barista was super nice and helpful with me. I typically get an ice Carmel latte but he told me they don't have caramel. They only have butterscotch and vanilla. He suggested I go with the butterscotch. Yummmmm! Soo delicious!

    What a great little spot for a nice coffee date! Our drinks were both really delicious, and the baristas were very friendly and gave good advice. There were plenty of seating options, from tables, to high tops & comfy chairs. We will definitely be going back there again!

    Working along the windows, outlets underneath to charge, before the Saturday rush.

    This is one of my favorite coffee shops in the cities. The people working are always friendly, there's a nice tin/ambience when I'm working or hanging out that's never too loud, and on the weekends it's so nice they have pastries from La Marguerite. Once they forgot my coffee in the line (it happens, no big deal) and they gave me a make up coin for a free drink next time. They didn't have to, but one of the many reasons I continue to stop and grab a coffee here.

    Great Coffee, Limited Pastries Coffee here is excellent--rich with smooth, nutty tones. My go-to while I was in town was the "Shot in the Nutts"--fun name and a great drink. Just a heads-up: they don't offer many pastries, so it's more of a coffee stop than a full café experience. Still, definitely worth it for the quality brew.

    Iced chai

    Liked the vibe here. Stopped for a quick iced chai as an afternoon pick me up. The chai was good but not great. Would stop again if I'm in the area!

    Pretty run of the mill Coffeehouse. The ambiance is typical raw brick aesthetic. Service was great :). The coffee itself is just okay, i usually only order lattes when I go out and this one had a bit too much acidity in the beans for my liking. Would still recommend!

    Five Watt is a stable of the Beltrami Neighborhood! With the values of great coffee and community, Five Watt shines above and beyond a saturated market. One reason I come back time and time again is for their Kingfield Drink. The Black Hawaiian Sea Salt is delicious. The services is always pleasant and the space is well lit for working and relaxing!

    The cool thing about Five Watt is each location has their own unique specialty drinks that are different for each location! At the Hennepin Ave one I tried their all day/all night iced and it was delicious. It was one of their sweeter drinks which I prefer. I usually ask baristas what the sweeter drinks are before ordering, and the barista at five watt mentioned that most of their drinks could be adjusted for sweetness based on personal preference. Another great perk of this location is the large free parking lot next to it. Totally eliminates the stress of street parking in downtown! I've been wanting to try five watt for a while now and I'm glad I finally got to. There's lots of seating and free Wi-Fi as well to get work done. Love the atmosphere and it's very spacious!

    Matcha latte

    This place was pretty alright. The first time i came here it was difficult to find parking. However, this time, it was easier and less people. The inside is pretty casual and working vibe. The staff was friendly . I got my drink in less than 5 mins. I got a matcha latte with honey as the sweetener.. it was good. The drink was good.

    My favorite coffee shop in the cities. I have now been to all the locations in the twin cities. I love that the drinks are always delicious and consistent no matter which location you go to. My favorite go to drink is the kingfield with oat milk. So delicious!

    Wow! Restaurant Alma(not the cafe)…read moreCan't believe it's taken me years to visit here, I had an amazing 3 course dinner here with the wine pairings All the dishes were fantastic and my friend and I shared all of our dishes so we could experience most of the menu The service here was truly excellent from coat check to our server Miles who was super friendly and knowledgeable Everyone we encountered was so passionate about the food it made me feel good especially as the quality was so high! There wasn't anything I didn't like except dessert was not included in our meal so for extra $ we did split one and was delicious They did send me home with some mini coconut macaroons which was a nice touch Ambiance - was lovely sitting at the counter, restaurant was full but not crazy loud for a Saturday night! The menu changes seasonally so I'll be back in the fall to try that Parking- free street parking If your looking for a high quality tasting menu book here

    It is very good. It may not be outstanding, hence the 4 stars…read more This is a review specifically for the restaurant side, and you're going to have to sort the cafe/hotel/restaurant ones. A lot was on point. They had super interesting wines by the glass, the appetizers were outstanding, my duck breast was served with a perfectly smoky pepper reduction, and it was fun watching the open kitchen. We also appreciated the creativity of the uni spaghetti we were served. They do a no tipping/hospitality included model, which is nice to know what you're getting. But also, a lot was a bit off. Water took 10 minutes to get even when all the waiters were waiting for the kitchen to plate the next course. Cocktails were uninspired, basically just the flavors of the classics but with extra price. Dessert was additional, and honestly I think if you're going to do a prix fixe (which I love), do it as appetizer-main-dessert. Said uni spaghetti was creative, but lacking in balance, especially compared to the pear-nduja bruschetta (lovely) and said duck breast. I walked out feeling not unhappy, but not anywhere near one of my best experiences.
