Such a cute bakery cafe with open seating and service was great. It was quick and prices are ok. They switch the menu out monthly and they have some Asian inspired items since they are Asian owners. Parking is ok but it is also in the downtown Duluth area.

Very cute space with lots of lighting and comfortable chairs! Perfect for doing work, chatting with friends, or reading! I've been multiple times, and every time the owners/ servers have been very kind and helpful. The best part are the desserts of course. I've had the Thai tea tiramisu, espresso cookie, and brownie and all have been delicious. The menu items rotate every month, usually with a new tiramisu flavor. I also really love the chicken salad croissant. Definitely recommend checking them out!

The food was excellent and I enjoyed the hot cocoa with marshmallow fluff that was torched!

One of my favorite cafes in Duluth! They have a big tea latte selection, which is so helpful…read more(because sometimes a girl just wants a tea and not a coffee, you know?) I've tried a variety of their drinks, and my go-to is the Strawberry Earl Grey latte. It's SO GOOD. Nothing is overly sweet, and the tea flavor really shines. My brother likes the mango matcha and my cousin always goes for the vanilla earl grey latte (coffee) or the pistachio latte. We also enjoy their sandwiches too. Would definitely recommend this place! They have a little punch card, where your 10th drink is free, and the owner is so nice! There's waves of people coming and going, but it's not constantly super packed like other places. It's not the biggest place, but you can find seating, and it's a nice place to get stuff done. I wish I could gatekeep this place, but I also want them to be successful. Go try them out!

Summary: Great coffee, calm study cafe, just a bitter experience due to the owner…read more Black Sesame Ice Cream Latte: Yummy!! Would order again in a heartbeat. It's a couple scoops of ice cream with espresso. Pumpkin Spiced Latte: Was good but nothing outstanding. Peanut Butter Cream Einspanner (Iced): Peanut butter cream was good, but once you mix the drink together the peanut flavor is lost. If you like the darker bolder coffee taste, this is a good one to try. Vibe: Music is always upbeat and peaceful, mostly a calm study cafe but some people grab and go. Service: On my first visit I was offered a stamp card. 10 stamps, and your next item is free. The owner is always there and is very welcoming and polite, but it's only for the sake of business. It's not genuine friendliness or care for customers. When I picked up my PSL, I immediately noticed the cup was too light. I ordered a large and there was at least 1.5 inches of space between the fill line and the rim of the cup. Why pay extra for a large if I'm getting served a small? Given that the drink was prepared by the cafe owner herself, I would have been embarrassed to serve a customer such a drink. My other complaint is that I'd visited 3 times in the past two weeks, sat in the cafe for at 3+ hours each time, and was in a rush to attend a important zoom meeting, and planned to order after my meeting was over. 30 mins in, I was actively speaking on the video call when the cafe owner interrupted me to say that I couldn't sit without ordering a drink. So many parts of me want to justify her behavior, maybe she's anxious about the cafe not making enough money - but given that she has seen me before and I was actively speaking - that rubbed me the wrong way. I was beginning to feel comfortable at the cafe but that moment made me hesitant to return. If this hadn't happened, I would have considered this a 5/5 star establishment and found a go-to study spot.

My boyfriend and I tried the Banana Pudding Matcha and Strawberry Peach Orange Fruit Tea, which are…read moreboth among the popular drinks. I wasn't crazy about the matcha drink. After mixing, it tasted completely of banana-- no matcha taste or aroma. I did enjoy the fruit tea though, it was refreshing! Lychee popping boba was a good add too. As for the service, the employees were really nice and helpful in giving recommendations and explanations on how the crafts work. Since we visited later in the evening, the ambiance was relaxed and chill.

My first visit to Artistea back when they first opened was wonderful. The space was clean, the…read morestaff was friendly, and it felt like such a cozy and creative experience. I genuinely had a great time and was looking forward to coming back again. But my recent experience was somewhat disappointing. The cleanliness and upkeep seemed to have declined significantly. The tables and chairs were stained with glue and dried paint, which was pretty off-putting. I understand this is a hands-on workshop space, but basic cleaning really makes a big difference in how comfortable the environment feels. Many of the acrylic paint bottles were completely dried out. I tried to squeeze a couple of bottle and no paint would come out. When I tried using one of the larger pump bottles, when I pressed down, the paint splattered out and got all over my clothes because the nozzle must've been clogged. It was messy and honestly pretty frustrating, especially since acrylic paint is difficult to remove. It seems like the bottles weren't being maintained or checked regularly (dried paint clogging the pumps can cause pressure to build up and "explode" like that), which is something that could easily be prevented with basic upkeep. I still think this place is a very cute concept, I just think they need improvement in maintaining the space and supplies. Clean tables/chairs, fresh paint, and working tools are kind of the bare minimum. I want to support small creative businesses, but this visit felt more stressful than relaxing, which was disappointing compared to my first experience.
