    I know I go to a lot of coffee shops but when I saw this one in my feet on TikTok and how close and proximity it is to my house which is about 40 minutes lol I knew I needed to go on my day off and try it out. I visited the week afternoon years on the 5th and the windows were still painted for the holidays and it was absolutely beautiful and I immediately felt at peace. I'm not going to get into too much detail because this is a review of the location but I've been going through some stuff walking in I was greeted and welcomed in and I took a few minutes to look over the menu and I decided to order a cinnamon honey latte with almond milk. No I'm not going to mince words This is a faith-based coffee shop hence the name John 3:16. So expect to see faith-based everywhere so if you're not down with it then that is your choice but I will tell you this place makes a great latte. So I ordered a Goliath which is a large Rebecca latte which is a cinnamon honey latte with almond milk. Since at the time I was the only one ordering the barista had me go ahead and take a seat and within a few minutes my hot latte was brought to my table she pointed out that there were Bibles on the table and that there was a Bible verse written on the bottom of my cup which was her way of letting me know if I wanted to look up the verse I could. I of course immediately looked up the verse and it just spoke volumes to my heart. Now before you think oh it's probably the same verse on every cup it is not there are all sorts of verses written and this one just happened to speak to me. Upon the first sip I knew I had made the right choice to visit today. I took my time enjoying my latte and others quickly filed in through the doors and place their orders. Others came and went and I knew as I was finishing up this would be a place that I will be frequently making the journey to enjoy from time to time.

    This faith-based café in Saint Cloud is such a hidden gem -- and now one of my favorite spots in town! I ordered the Eve (a honey lavender latte with almond milk) and it was divine -- smooth, floral, and just the right amount of sweetness. Every drink here has a creative Bible-inspired name, and the best part? Each cup comes with a Bible verse, which honestly made my day. Such a meaningful and uplifting detail. Whether you're coming to read, work remotely, meet for Bible study, or just need a peaceful place to reset -- this café has the perfect vibe. It's super clean, aesthetically beautiful (yes, Instagram-worthy ), and full of light. The staff is so kind and welcoming -- you can feel the love and intention behind everything they do. Great coffee, great people, and a beautiful mission. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area -- or even if you're not. It's worth the drive

    We were in area shopping and decided to stop in for some coffee. The decor and ambiance was very trendy and cute! There were tables inside where you could sit and enjoy your drink, or you were able to get it to go. The menu had an extensive selection of flavors and options, definitely made it hard to pick as they all sounded good! We both got an ice white mocha cold brew coffee. While we enjoyed the drink, we were slightly disappointed that they didn't inform us that it came with a whipped topping, as we try to avoid eating dairy. Not a huge deal breaker, but had we known it came on the drink we would have made to sure to order without it. At other coffee shops when we order a nondairy option, typically the person taking our order would let us know that something with dairy comes with the drink, allowing us the opportunity to ensure we order the drink the way we want, but that did not happen here. The pricing here was a bit steep. For both coffees we paid $17. We felt like we had more ice and whipped topping in our cups than we did coffee, which made the price hurt a bit more for us too. I feel like we could get similar quality coffee for a more affordable price elsewhere. We loved the atmosphere of this coffee shop, and hope to give it another try in the future!

    I must say this is in my top 3 of local coffee shops that offered not only an amazing cup of coffee, but the vision why this coffee shop came about. We met the owner and she was so inviting of the history and her testimony of this café. The coffee was absolutely delicious. It was like a deconstructed oatmeal cream pie. I have never had anything that tasted like this before in a coffee version. This is a great place to meet up with friends and Bible study, or by yourself. The sourdough homemade bread was toasted to perfection crunchy on the edges, and the butter on top just made it melt in my mouth. The place began to get very busy as the day went by, but it is worth the wait and travel to get here. It has a classic charm look and feel to it situated in the heart of downtown St. Cloud as it also has a quaint hotel right to the left of it. Very clean and bibles and books available to read as well.

    We visited on Wednesday afternoon. There were a few people inside but we didn't have any wait. We ordered and had a seat and our orders were called out to us. I tried an iced tea and it was delicious! My kids had various coffees and a hit chocolate. They all loved their drinks and my son told me it was the best hot chocolate he'd ever had. He's only 9, but the boy has sampled a fair share of hot chocolate in his short life. I appreciated the prayer wall. It was nice to read the prayer requests and say a brief prayer for them as we waited for our drinks. Such a cute place & we would love to visit again if we're in the area!

    So happy to have found this wonderful hidden gem in the heart of downtown St Cloud. One day I decided to stop by and I don't see myself having any other coffee besides this one except for Sunday (they're closed). As soon as you walk in Kristy (the owner) greets you with a friendly smile. Being my first time here I had a few questions about the menu and both, the employee and the owner were super attentive and helpful. The first time I came I didn't realize there was food until I heard them telling someone something about avocado. Then I realized I had found my favorite coffee pairing. Sea of Galilee a perfect Egg Avocado Toast. Love the atmosphere and ambiance in here it's so relaxing weather your looking to work or just sip on your drink, either inside or outside on their patio. I will definitely be a regular here.

    Small coffee shop in historic downtown St. Cloud. Obviously a Christian themed shop with a cozy atmosphere. Brick walls are adorned with plastic ivy providing a 'natural' feel. Service was fast and courteous and friendly. The shop has a very limited health oriented menu. I had the Sea of Galilee and a large latte. The latte was very smooth and bold. The Sea was an avocado toast spread. It's a mix of avocado and hard boiled egg, topped with balsamic and some sort of spice sprinkle. This is complimented with either sourdough or everything bagel crackers. I went with the sourdough. Although good, I thought the Sea could have used more egg and the balsamic was a tad sweet. There is limited indoor seating but there is a large outdoor patio and play area. There is also a nice lobby area adjoining the shop. Overall, I recommend this place. BE WARNED, a glass of tap water will cost you 50 cents :o (minus one star).

    Great customer service! Barista was very helpful to help me choose. Quiet and quaint location in St. Cloud.

    Ruth Espresso & Vanilla Latte Goliath

    I recently visited John 3:16 caffe on my wife's & I 17 year anniversary. We went to get a daily devotion and some delicious coffee. I had the vanilla coffee, and my wife opted for the vanilla lavender oat milk with a shot of espresso. Both drinks were fantastic! The place has a calming ambiance that makes you feel at ease as soon as you walk in. The staff were very friendly and helpful, adding to the overall pleasant experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a soothing spot to relax and enjoy a great cup of coffee. It truly is soothing to the soul.

    This is the cutest and coziest caffe I have been to! I love the intentionality from the menu items down to the cup sizes (David and Goliath)! There is lots of seating outside, inside by the windows/doors, tables throughout, and even outdoor seating in the back porch. The service is always friendly and quick every time I've come in and I am always greeted with a warm smile. I ordered the strawberry matcha which was absolutely delicious!!! You can tell the syrups are made in-house and add a lovely sweetness to the drinks. I have tried the sourdough toast and some pastries here which weren't my favorite, but overall this is a place I love to frequent especially on a beautiful day where I can sit outside and get some encouragement with their bible verses!

    The minute I stepped in I was so amazed at the thought and deyail behind everything. This was an amazing cafe and not just the decor but the coffee as well. It was delicious and blessed! I ordered the dolce de leche cold coffee and it was delicious

    Kristin C.

    Food here is always delicious & the coffee is always tasty too! Service continues to be stellar with each visit here! Mood is welcoming & friendly. Staff always greets you when you enter & the shop is always clean!

    I can't say enough good things about this place!?…read more To start, I'm so happy I stopped in here. I've been in a drought of finding another 5 star to rate, been at some mediocre places recently! This broke my drought clean off! When you walk in you'll be greeted by a family of very nice girls. They walked me through the menu, their best sellers and since I came in late in the day they informed me they had sold out of some of their bakery items! I ordered the Terrocotta Sandwich and an empanada and wow!! Both were amazing and were priced very affordably. I was working there so I decided to order another empanada this time chicken and a smoothie. Wow!! The smoothie was so yummy and colorful while not being too sweet and the chicken was just as good as the steak. From the service to the cute decor.. this place is a MUST STOP if you're in the area!! I'll be back 100%!!

    5 Stars for a good coffee and absolutely delicious pastries (pro-tip: get the pan de bono!)…read more Don't let the outside of the cafe deter you- as soon as you walk in you'll be amazed by the highly decorated interior and a large glass display of all kinds of Colombian pastries. We got an arepa de choclo (chose to have it without melted cheese on top), pan de bono, and a passion fruit cream croissant. Each was great, but the pan de bono and arepa were the clear standouts. I usually prefer a flakier croissant, but the filling was delish! You order at the counter and then find a seat in the ample dining room. We got oat milk cortados and I appreciated the espresso machines (no one-button device here!). We left full and happy!

I chose a heavy one with coffee notes and my husband got the jalapeño wrapper. He let me try a puff and immediately I was jealous and wanted to trade. The outside has several tables, there were nice looking leather chairs inside and a bar to belly up to. Everything was very clean and the owner even stopped by and chatted with us a bit. We will be back for another date night to try the food.

    I visited the Old Fashion Cigar shop Saturday 28-February-2026…read more This was my first time to this cigar shop. Visiting the area for two weeks. Google Cigar stores near me and this was the first on the list. I give it a 2 because of the billing experience. I would recommend people to visit. But pay attention to the billing process. The lack of a humidor = 1. The attentiveness to the customer = 5. Bathroom was clean and taken care of = 5. Seating was adequate = 3. It is a small cigar shop by footprint the main area has the cigars along the wall. A bathroom and a number of comfortable seating options. If one chooses there are tables outside to use. There is a bar area in a second room. It has bar stools for sitting. I was there mid afternoon not crowded. The owner Mr. G told me there is music in evening come the weekend. I would imagine this could become a tight place to be in. There is no humidor room for cigars. I shown a humidifier up in the ceiling area. But yet the door was open. Due to room size it would not be possible to setup a humidor room. That would give pause on how well cigars can hold up. I smoked two and one of them the wrapper started to show signs of coming apart. But was able to finish it. The team is very friendly. I was greeted when I came in. Was shown the cigar selections. Mr G the owner spent time chatting with me. Waitresses were attentive. I had a couple of Dark IPAs on tap. Good Pricing was to be expected ranging from $10 to $20. The downside to the experience was when I checked out 18% tip was added to the bill ($15.00) Yet on the bottom it has suggested tip from 18%, 20, 25%. So one is tipping on the beverages and beer. The tax is about 10.5%. In all my cigar shop visits I have never paid a tip on cigars. The beers were $5.95 each. I know that someone took time to show me the selection but others shop do as well. If i do visit again I would pay for the cigars upon purchase. Let the bar bill be a seperate charge. At this point when I tip I do it in cash and keep it to 10% to 15% and if exceptional 20%. The beers were expensive based on the tip. I am sure there is rationale to the why but this one took away from the whole experience. I supposed I could have push back but just let it be as a learning experience. The last point is when I went to sign off it was suggested by the staff and machine I could add an additional tip amount. I declined.
