The inside is so cool and really gives a historic look into Saint Paul. Everywhere you can find a bustling amount of people having conversations and enjoying coffee. The staff here are wonderful often giving compliments to people coming in and saying hello to the regulars. This is a wonderful neighborhood and a wonderful coffee shop! Now, for the coffee. I love their coffee - whether it's a latte or a Matcha or iced or hot it's always amazing!! (I would gladly drive the 40 minutes out here to have their coffee). Thank you Nina's for continuing to be open under construction and always providing stellar service & coffee!!

I've since removed myself due to how popular the shop got and recently had an opportunity to revisit. I'm so glad I did! What I once knew as a tiny, cozy shop has expanded into an entire new section directly behind the original space allowing for more guests to visit. This is fantastic! I know the original owners of Cafe Astoria have stepped down, yet I'm pleased to say under the new ownership that many of the original decor and items remain the same from awhile back. The biggest transformations are the larger space, added painted mural, flexible ordering system where you can now order from a QR code at your table or walk up the register, expanded menu that includes brunch all day and items such as breakfast sandwiches and avocado toast. What went from a small crepe and specialty coffeehouse has truly grown. Don't worry the crepes and coffees are all still on the menu. I had the mango smoothie bowl and a mushroom and Swiss crepe - both were outstanding. I even had an iced pumpkin chia. Yum! I look forward to returning. The hospital workers are so lucky to be close to this establishment.

Wifi is good and some people WFH here, but it does get crowded fast on the weekends! The menu is expansive, but the crepes and drinks seem to be the main attractions. They have unique espresso and matcha options, including a secret menu and seasonal items. They do tend to be on the sweeter side. I always get the dirty matcha! My friend enjoyed the campfire mocha and creme brulee in the pasr. The crepes are pretty good - thin, but still soft as crepes should be! I also like the variety. You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu here!

I typically frequent the original shop on West 7th, yet today was my first visit to the Wee shop…read moreeven though I've driven by it a million times. Parking - tough! Give yourself extra time as there is no designated lot. Contrary, there are plenty of street spots but there's no guarantee you'll get a close spot. Exterior- easy to spot! Cute signage and bonus exterior patio and tables during the warm months. inviting plants and lots of commotion with the surrounding shops and restaurants including the co-op. Interior - cozy! Large window allows natural lighting along with a long horizontal bar with plug ins for remote work. Caution: it's small hence the wee name. If you're looking for large and intimate, travel down to West 7th. Drinks - parallel menu to the original shop. All the Irish favorites and more. Iced, hot, whatever you desire. Food - breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and rotating menus. Service - attentive and quick 4 stars due to parking and sadly my iced americano was a little watery today. I'll still be back. Thanks, Wee Claddagh!!

It was good but it did lean a bit milky. They are right on Selby so parking can be tricky but I parked a block or so away and walked in which was fine.

Stopped by Yellowbird to meet up with some friends and had a decent experience…read more The prices felt really high, around $10 for a small latte with one flavor, and it didn't quite live up to that. It didn't have much espresso, so it ended up tasting more like flavored milk. They do offer a nice variety of milk options at no extra charge, which is a plus. but still the drinks are very expensive for what you get. There's some seating inside and parking behind the building, which makes it convenient. The shop was cute but on the smaller side also the tables weren't very clean when we were there. The staff wasn't overly friendly and didn't make it feel especially welcoming.

On any given day you can find people working, groups chatting, and friends catching up. There is a ton of seating and I have never had a problem finding a place to sit.

There is a decent amount of seating for a place in its location which was nice so I could visit for a couple hours with my friend. I am still surprised I never went here when I was living in St. Paul for so many years. The somewhat annoying thing is that there used to be a free parking lot, and now they charge for it.

The bakery section is so delicious that there should be an addiction warning taped to the pastry display case. They've got all different sorts of coffee orders too, so if you need your morning fix, you're set. The place is always crowded, which is a sign that it's a well-loved hangout and eatery of the community. However, it does mean that you could be standing for a little while until a table opens up. Space always does open though, it's just that sometimes patience is required. However, it's always worth it to enjoy the good vibes and delicious food. Free parking can also be hard to find as most street side parking is full all hours of the day. Be prepared to walk a little ways or to pay the small fee to park behind the building. This is the heart of the Twin Cities though, so this should not be surprising. If I could give this place fifty stars instead of five, I would. The only reason I had to stop eating here was developing celiac disease. For those of you with free will and without gluten troubles, definitely make your way here. I cannot say enough good things about this gem.

The staff are all super friendly and willing to help you with pronouncing the Portuguese items :) My favorites are coxinha (croquette), pão de queijo (cheese bread), and misto quente (ham & cheese sandwich). My husband's favorites are the mercadão (mortadella sandwich), feijoada (Sat only - the national dish of Brazil) and passion fruit mousse.

We were given a front row, out of the way table with an uninterrupted view of the musical duo. Couldn't have been better-until midway through the second musical set someone decided to plant a table with three arrogant young dudes directly between our table and the musicians. They were smirking and acting as if they were entitled to front row, dancefloor seats. I was really disappointed, so we got up and left. After having a courteous discussion the next day with the manager about the situation, I was assured that it would not happen again. As a result I will be happy to return again and order a Large! Caesar salad instead of a small one, along with the SP??? pizza. They were wonderful! All the best to the French Hen!
