I went to Lost Fox for the first time last week before we went to Glow. It was nice walking distance to CHS field so it was a great option for that. Lost Fox was busy for a Friday night when we were there but our drinks took over 25 minutes to get to the table even for a beer/cider. This was not acceptable. Our food also took awhile to come out once we ordered. I ordered a gluten free lost Fox hamburger and it was good but I didn't eat the fries because they were from a shared fryer. I got the in vino veritas cocktail that was okay, I wouldn't get it again. At the end of the night we asked for 2 bills and they completely swapped all of our food and we were late for the event we were going to. The inside of the restaurant was well decorated although it was quite loud. Service was very slow. Parking is street or ramp parking nearby so plan accordingly. read more

I've been here both for coffee and food and I will say that the coffee shop has amazing vibes. Not the most earth-shattering coffee, but it is good. The restaurant side is good as well but the service is sub-par. Do not expect to be well attended to nor get anything quickly. read more

What a gem! I found the Lost Fox by chance, passing by the alley entrance from 5th street. I felt like it was a secret, until I realized the main entrance is just across the street from the Union Depot and Light Rail stop! Still, the service was friendly, the coffee was delicious and it is clearly a popular spot for the locals. Lots of folks working on laptops or having friendly chats. Some adorable pups were also making good company. I'm looking forward to having productive work days here again soon. read more

Lost Fox - Vietnam coffee is very strong - Cafes Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Very nice and cozy atmosphere to study reasonable prices but beware of multiple mice. We saw three mice while visiting. It's cute tho

If you don't know this place is here you would miss it But that part of its charm I suppose. It's nestled at the end of lowertown, Just blocks from the Saints stadium a few steps from the light rail. It's a cute, quaint if you will coffee shop/dive bar feel. I went in on a Sunday early evening had a tasty glass of wine, an amazingly delicious homemade triple-decker club sandwich and a surprisingly great cup of chicken chili soup (excellently and perfectly seasoned*definitely not Minnesota nice spiced IYKYK). The seating arrangement was plentiful for those busy nights but also perfectly cozy for a chilly Sunday for a little solitude in public. Last but not least the playlist was beyond perfect... A mix of late '80s early '90s rock/pop classics. All of that with a reasonable price-point and pleasant service. For being my first time here I was thoroughly impressed as it hit all of the marks that one would hope when they visit a new restaurant. I will definitely be back and would recommend. The only complaint is there is no parking and I sat myself and was basically ignored for at least 10inutes while the staff visited with a regular... however when she did come by she was very Sweet knowledgeable about the menu and paid close attention. read more

Im a breakfast sandwich guy and my wife is a pastry chef. I had a top 3 life time breakfast sandwich here in the B.B. bagel sandwich on asiago bagel. Outrageously good they have no right. And then on top of that the orange cranberry danish is a vision of wonder and deliciousness. read more

I was 2 hours early for an appointment and wandering around downtown. It's so bare down here now. Then turned the corner abd found this wonderful little gem! Industrial decorated, with the coziness of a little coffee shop. The food was original and yummy and the staff were veey friendly. read more

I found this place while walking home from an event at CHS field. I spotted a sign down an alley and thought "man I have to try that little hidden spot." So I stopped in for a couple drinks and an appetizer. The food was good! Drinks were great, and ambiance was on point. I don't know how this is for a coffee shop, but it was great for a couple drinks and a snack! read more

Great ambiance. Great drinks. Great hospitality. Randomly check it out and glad I did read more

Visited in passing for a quick-bite, pleasantly surprised! Fun gastro-pub/cafe atmosphere. Food was good, lots of beer options, full service coffee shop, solid service. Would go back to try breakfast! read more

Never been disappointed with anything on the menu. Great neighborhood joint. Dinner, appointments, beer or cocktails it's all good.

Lost Fox is a super cute coffee shop with a cozy atmosphere. And I was so excited to finally find a place in Saint Paul that allows dogs inside! Great coffee and service. read more

Really wanted to like this place. Nice location and ambiance. This is specifically talking about lunch. Looks like it could be an OK evening cocktail place with more of a hot food menu. I got a roast beef sandwich and cappuccino. My wife got a BLT & mocha. Both sandwiches were disappointing. Meager portions on cheap store bread. My roast beef sandwich was supposed to have some blue cheese which I didn't taste until 2/3 the way through the sandwich. The BLT had just a couple slices of bacon and the toast was soggy when it came to the table. Both resembled sandwiches I have purchased at convenience stores for pure appetite appeasement. The espresso in the cappuccino was rather bitter (I used to be a barista), maybe it sat a while before making the drink. The mocha tasted like it was made with Swiss Miss or the generic blander equivalent. No particular complaints about the service, which was fine and fairly quick. This review is chiefly judging the quality of the culinary experience. read more

I ordered food on Christmas Day because their business was "open" or so it seemed online. I'm not in the area often and we ended up at urgent care nearby and needed food quick. I've called six times since then. I paid for food via their online service and the order was never completed because they were indeed not open on Christmas. I have yet to receive a refund; I'm probably never going to. I'll also probably not visit because this is just poor business management, now. A call once or twice I get, things happen- people are busy. But now? It's been two months and six calls later... read more

The food is great the service is wonderful and the ambience is really cool too I wish I had a place like this to go to on the regular in Alaska real cool. read more

Another fabulous night at Lost Fox. This tucked away, pseudo hidden gem is such a fabulous addition to lowertown. The space is warm and inviting, without being overwhelming. The staff is fabulous. And the food is right on Had a lovely cheese plate and a burger with a friend tonight. We enjoyed every bite and loved the interactions with the team. We're lucky to have this option in our corner of lowertown. read more

This up and coming coffee cafe checks all the boxes: good drinks, good prices, good vibes, good people, and my cake snack was tasty, too. The plants, brick walls, lighting and furniture give Lost Fox a comfortable, cozy and clean ambiance. I enjoyed my afternoon herbal tea made "snuggler" style (with steamed milk and honey). The added steamed milk helped compliment my chocolate cake. It is worth mentioning the cake itself was good, just the right size and at $3.50 for a slice it's easy to say yes and not regret it. Previously I was swooned by their miel. I will be back. This is the neighborhood place Lowertown has been missing! read more

Why did I wait 20 mins for a pick-up order for a hot chocolate? 1. No communication or signage - period. You arrive to a long line of people. Any attempt to talk to the staff why they are serving others gets you weird stares and short answers. There are no signs for "pick up here" or "please wait to be seated". You just have to guess! Because screw you! You're the idiot that chose to eat here! 2. No direction from either the website, receipt, or again, the very unwelcoming staff that are also very busy and have absolutely no time to answer questions. 3. When I finally get to the cash register, the lady tells me "oh yeah, your hot chocolate has been ready for a while. I can warm it up if you want me to". As if I'm suppose to know that my hot chocolate was ready? As if after handing me the drink, I was suppose to give it right back to have it warmed up? Like... in a microwave? Or do I have to wait another 20 mins. for you to make me a new one? Horrid, horrid service for subpar food and drinks. This location is not accessible. It is not communal. And it's clear management does not care about your experience in their business. Go to Lowertown Bike shop or Legacy chocolates or save your money for a better coffee. read more

We stopped by here on the way back to Omaha. We had to wait a little while due to it being busy. There is a reason why they were busy. The food was excellent. I had the lox bagel and the wife had a biscuit, sausage and egg sandwich. Be warned the biscuit was yummy and huge, not for someone watching your carbs. I also would recommend the nitro sweet cream ice coffee. We will definitely be returning when we are back in town for hockey. read more

Love Lost Fox. Entrances are obscure, but once inside... it feels like "this is the pace to be." Nice vibe... big space... split... one side coffee/breakfast/lunch... the other side bar and dinner. Menu is ok... haven't tried everything. Good prices at happy hour. Try it!!! read more

My partner and I were very excited to check this place out and so wanted to like it. We were looking for a spot to get food and coffee while we worked; Lost Fox looked like the perfect spot. Decor and ambiance are lovely, totally up my alley and just so chill and beautiful. A+ there. Food and drinks were disappointing. I got a lox bagel sandwich, which had one thin slice of salmon that didn't even cover the entirety of the sandwich. There was also a toothpick down the middle of the sandwich, in the hole of the bagel, so that gave us a good giggle. For my drink, I ordered a "Vietnamese coffee." I don't think they know what that actually is and just called it that to make their menu look more hip or something. It was basically just strong black coffee, no sweetness at all. I think they know it's not right because they told us to let them know if we wanted more condensed milk as they handed it over. I tried a sip and it was just bitterness, so I went back to ask for said condensed milk. She was very nice about it but put in just a small drizzle, and I felt too awkward to ask for more so I just went back to my seat. My partner saw I wasn't drinking it, had a sip himself, then went up to ask for more on my behalf. For the amount a correct Vietnamese coffee would have, they charged us extra. We also accidentally left our two water bottles there, so I called the next day to see if they were found. My bottle was behind the counter, as one would expect, but they didn't know where his was. No biggie, he probably lost it somewhere else. I stopped by to pick up mine, and saw that his was by our table (on the floor beneath the table and chairs) exactly where we left it. For more than 24 hours, no one noticed it? No one swept up or sat there? Even though my bottle was seen and moved? Weird. Not really sure what to think about that one. Last but not least, my partner experienced some attitude from the staff while we were there. If our experience had just one, maybe two these of things, I would chalk it up to a bad day and try again. But altogether, no thank you. read more

In St. Paul for a wedding and stumbled upon Lost Fox on early Sunday morning. Very cool breakfast set up / lounge for coffee and egg Sammies. Bravo on the tasty hot sausage and egg biscuit. Artsy feel with The Smiths in the background. read more

Great casual spot! Good coffee and pleasant staff. Service takes it's time but otherwise good experience

The chillest coffee shop in this area. I've only been to the cafe side (other side is dining), but it's perfect for working, studying, catching up. I love that it's open late too!! read more

Try the espresso martinis! They were delicious! Nice place to hang out, play some cards and have a drink.

Great place to spend some work time away from a home office, food was excellent and the vibe was chill.

Really cool vibe with reasonable prices. The food was good too but the ambiance is the best.

Such a versatile and cute space. Lost Fox functions as a restaurant, a bar, and a cafe. Love to get an iced coffee and just sit, maybe do some work or just go on my phone lol. It's comfortable and aesthetic. read more

We really like the Lost Fox. We have been a few times for drinks and bites and really like the open space and ambiance and of course the corn fritters. When the time came for us to host a large group of about 50 people, I reached out to Annie. From start to finish it was an easy and positive experience. Annie was very communicative and accommodating, the service was excellent, and the food and drinks were delicious. Whether your group is large or small, this place has you covered! read more

Lovely cafe with a fun and relaxed vibe. The coffee drinks are delicious and the food is fantastic. Great staff. We will be back!

Our server was friendly and helpful as we ordered and discussed our plans for after dinner. The food was high quality and speed was as expected. They honored our early reservations and as we ate the restaurant began to fill up with a fun energy. We also visited the coffee area another day and that was some great coffee and ambiance as well. Great place to meet people or set up to work a while!! read more

The burger here was amazing! I have never had anything like it. I am not one who normally likes "hipster" places but I would go back for the food. The service was nice and attentive. read more

Great ambiance but average food. Nice seating options inside. Outside seating options were closed.

This is my go to place when I need to grab some coffee in the morning or afternoon. I always end up having a pleasant conversation with whoever is serving up drinks. Everyone there is so friendly and they end up making my day. I highly recommend the maple cold brew press! read more

Chai tea yesterday. Liked the ambiance and the chai was pretty good (a little colder than I would have liked but tasty). Came back this morning for coffee. Got the lox bagel. So delicious. Latte hot. All in all a pretty nice way to start the day. read more

Lost Fox is a fun, relaxing, spacious, and delicious joint. Half the restaurant is a cafe while the other half seats people for lunch and dinner. Our waiter John was so flexible with us as we stayed for multiple hours. read more
