Not too sweet, not too creamy, just right! This was my first time visiting, and the staff were incredibly helpful in educating me about the menu and sharing their favorites. I also love that they have such a large food menu AND ice cream! The inside reminds me of Caribou Coffee, but with its own unique vibe. Prices are on the higher side, but honestly, that's expected for a local coffee shop in 2026. This is officially my new favorite coffee shop, and I've already recommended it to several friends. I'll definitely be back soon!

It's difficult to see the screen unless you're standing right by the cashier, so I ended up looking at the menu online while waiting to order. I ordered the small oat milk Apple Pie Latte, and it was delicious! It had a subtle apple pie flavor, and the dried apple garnish on top was such a cute touch. I also tried the Honey Granola with yogurt, which made for a light and satisfying breakfast. The café was clean, spacious, and made for a great place to sit down, enjoy my coffee, and get some reading done. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the parking lot was convenient and easily accessible. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely stop by again!

After seeing a viral video on tiktok, I knew I had to come find this place!…read more There is plenty of free parking in the lot. This place is actually a decent size but due to its popularity, it felt very crowded! So possibly plan on taking your drink to go. The service here was good and the man who made my drink was nothing short of a sweetheart! I got the raspberry cheesecake latte with oatmilk. This drink was over $11!! Not what I was expecting! Definitely the most expensive coffee I have gotten! Their menu seemed to have lots of unique and tasty coffees and items! I'd love to come back and try more. Despite the cost, the coffee was very tasty! In my opinion, this is one of the best coffee shops in the twin cities!

I'm in from out of state and was looking for a great coffee shop. This place was not at all what I…read moreexpected... Though I did hear that they had games. Pretty cool place for game nerds and geeks alike to hang out! Mostly packed. But wait... the coffee... it was absolutely perfect! Incredible cappuccino. But the best part?

Ethan also showed me some resources to help research cards and synergies and start deckbuilding which was soooo helpful and really makes the game a lot more approachable than I had initially thought it might be. Also grabbed a coffee while I was here--my americano was reasonably priced, the espresso was great, and the barista, whose name I didn't catch, was super friendly! Lots of tables and space to sit--they were running a Commander event while I stopped in but during a non-event time I can see it being a great spot to hang out and casually play with friends, or even just sit and do some work if I'm in the area. Excited to come back next weekend to actually play here!

Are the areas I mean the location is very close to everything. There they threw was very busy and this is not the first time I come to this area And I always noticed so. They have seating outside and inside. There were at least three employees if not more. I was there for one minute before someone talk to me And said they would be with me shortly. I placed my order which is very simple and I got it and it was very tasteful. I sat outside since it was sunny. The business itself is very new and classy and they have many classy businesses on the other side.

THe drink was filled with ice, no malt flavor and the most bitter coffee to the point where it was undrinkable. The chicken biscuit, while almost tasty, came with a half biscuit on top. While wrapped in foil, it was handed to me in an open wax-paper bag. Really? This was a total waste of my $10.00. Won't be going to that store again. I'll be posting this everywhere.

I came specifically to Base Camp Coffee Shop for the coffee flight, and with so many…read moredelicious-sounding options, it was hard to choose just four! I ended up trying the iced maple latte, hot miel, hot pumpkin maple latte, and peach cobbler tea latte. I'll be honest--I should have checked the price before I came. The coffee flight was $20, which felt pretty steep to me. I was expecting something closer to $10-$12. I also would have preferred smaller sample sizes at a lower price. Plan to share the flight with a friend!! Of the four, the only one I absolutely loved was the iced maple latte. Next time, I'd probably just order that! The coffee shop is connected to a brewery, and the two spaces are open to each other, so it smells like beer inside, not coffee. On the plus side, there's lots of seating. They have free Wi-Fi and free parking. Overall, I'm glad I tried the flight, and I'd go back for that iced maple latte!

The interior is clean with modern, minimalist, and natural decor. Counter service ordering was the only issue with our visit...it took 22 minutes for them to make a burrata toast for my fellow diner, which was simply toast, tomatoes, balsamic drizzle, and burrata cheese. It definitely wasn't busy enough to warrant the wait time. The coffee and food were top notch!! I had a caramel latte, which was appropriately sweet and creamy. The Smoked Salmon Toast was perfect...a sizeable serving of smoked salmon, fresh veggies, and a yummy cream cheese spread on top of perfectly toasted sourdough. Presented beautifully! Some might find it a bit pricey for fancy toast, but I thought the quality and value were appropriate for what I received. I'd definitely return!

The OG Açaí was the BOMB! It had fruit atop a cold purée. The Pumpkin Protein Waffle was almost as good as the other two items. We left feeling we had eaten a heathy meal. The restaurant is conveniently located mere steps from a parking garage. The two unisex restrooms were clean, bright, and appropriately adorned. The acoustics were noisy but we had no problem having a conversation. The music was pleasant and low enough to be in the background.
