Such a cute spot with incredible food and coffee! Upon entry they've got cute winter decor built upon their worldly Asian influenced decor that makes it feel like a nice break from the cold winter roads. Meanwhile the staff greets you with a kind smile that makes you feel welcomed in. I had the Ube Latte and the mixed Momo platter. The Ube Latte is well balanced between sweet Ube flavor and coffee and cream. The mixed momo platter comes with meat filled and potato filled dumplings that come with a spicy sauce for dipping. They are perfectly plump, warm and delicious and lend themselves well to a cold day. Absolutely recommend this hidden neighborhood gem if you're in the area (or even if you're not! It's worth it!) read more

While out running errands, stopped by Momo coffee for a quick snack and drink. It was pretty busy but also super cute and well decorated with nostalgic and cultural elements. They had a few cute items for sale, like momo merch, stickers and more. I got the black sesame latte which was strong but good. We also ordered potato and chive momos and they were decent. I think it could have used a bit more flavor, a bit starchy tasting. But the soy sauce helps a tiny bit. Would for sure come back to check out more. I was a bit shocked that they had to put signs on some of the lower tables for people to not put their feet on them. In a cafe/food establishment that should be common sense but I definitely get it. As it was busy it was a bit loud but I really like the vibes and aesthetic of this cafe! read more

This place is well loved for a reason! Friendly staff, cute space and delicious drinks and goodies! Love some of the fun Asian inspired flavors like ube white chocolate and matcha. Plenty of coffee and tea options. Also love the pastries selection from Bogarts doughnuts which are always fluffy and sweet. It looks like the menu changes with some seasonal drinks too which is nice! I wasn't a fan of the momos but you might like them more than I did. read more

I stopped by to get their winter special matcha drink! I went around 11AM on a Sunday and it was packed! If you want to dine in, I recommend either coming earlier or later in the afternoon. If you are doing take out, service was pretty quick! I didn't have to wait long after ordering. The place is nice and cozy! Lots of seating available but can be hard to find seats if it's busy. I got the Hazelnut Ube Hojicha Matcha and it was delicious! It's sweet, creamy nutty and has a strong roasted flavor. read more

So great for the price!!! A great local spot! I picked up coffee and pastries on a Saturday morning, and thought there was a line, it moved very quickly. They had a long list of coffee and tea options. I got the black sesame and the French toast latte. The French toast latte is great if you like cinnamon flavors, and the black sesame was subtle and unique. Doughnut was delicious and 2 drinks and a baked good were like $15. It was such a good price! I also used my own cup and got a small discount. They use compostable straws (woo!). I am definitely going back here (and will also try the momo next time). Small tables with eclectic decor in the back room, couches in the cafe room, and a few outdoor seating spots. There is ample street parking on the road fronting the cafe. read more

Free street parking available! Lots of seating inside the cafe. We were there all day and it was never crowded to the point where people couldn't find seating. Service was fast. Two restrooms available and both were super clean and nice. Outlets throughout the seating, so plenty of people were there to do work. They also sell pottery, water bottles, mugs, stickers and cute keychains. The owners were super nice and the music was also very chill. Free water and WiFi is available. White ube mocha was a 10/10. Prices were also very affordable for speciality drinks. The glazed donut was a lil dry, but it's only $3. Tibetan art all around and cute vibes overall!!! read more

This is the best coffee shop in MSP. I said what I said. Aesthetic: 5/5: Asian elegance inviting elements from across time. No music or minimal music if any leaving room for conversation, work, peace. Service: 5/5: Every person who works here has the best, friendliest attitude and is incredibly patient with me while I take forever to decide what I want. Drinks: 5/5: the 16 Oz for here is an entire bowl. Please get it for only 50 cents more. The sweet corn latte was so aesthetic with a tiny sweet corn candy on top. Iced was lovely, ask for a little sweeter if you operate that way. The black sesame latte both times I've had it was excellent. The matcha latte iced was lovely and syrups are almost all made in-house. Food: 4.5/5: They sell Bogarts donuts and the Nutella donut was definitely like 4000 calories but worth the heart attack because it was a well done donut overflowing with Nutella, as it should be. The vegetarian momo had something starchy tasting in the filling which wasnt my favorite but good value of momos for $9. The biggest thing for me here is that the coffee is top tier and milk is always frothed perfectly, shots pulled properly, syrups made in-house. How is a cortado $2, or a premium seasonal latte $5, or a regular latte $3.5 with no additional charge for milk subs? This is a real community coffee shop. It's here for us and I am so grateful. read more

We stopped into Momo Cafe and had a really nice experience. The atmosphere is wonderful and welcoming, and you can tell it is a local favorite since there was a line out the door when we arrived. Thankfully, it moved quickly and gave us time to browse the menu, which has a lot of tempting options. We tried the iced chai latte and the iced matcha latte. They were not our personal favorites, as both leaned a little on the watery side and the chai had a BOLD spice profile. We tend to order chai and matcha lattes wherever we go, so this may just come down to personal preference. The lavender iced donuts were magical. Light, airy, perfectly sweet, and beautifully flavored. Possibly the best donut I have had anywhere. That alone made the visit worth it. With so many more items on the menu to explore, and with the cafe being close by, we will definitely be back. Parking is on a residential street but was not too hard to find. read more

I loved accidentally finding this place!!!! It's a bit of a small location but they do manage to fit a good amount of people here. The staff is very friendly and they do have plenty of things on the menu. I personally love the dumplings! The parking is a bit of a drawback because it's right off the main road. So you need to be careful if you decide to park on central. Other than that the place is Great! The owner is very friendly and keeps the place looking sharp. I cant wait to come back again . read more

Wow. This place is world onto itself. Step in and you feel transported. Perhaps not to Tibet ( though I've never been) but the vibe is incredible. There are so many small touches to this place that make it a great spot to spend an hour with a warm drink. The shop itself is large and has a sorts of different seating from couches you work tables. So something for everyone. The drip coffee is Peace Coffee so not the best coffee beans around so I'm kind of breaking my rule on giving this place 5 stars but everything else here is just awesome. I should say while I didn't get the matcha, the large comes in the is bowl like cup and just looks beautiful. So if you like matcha give that a try! read more

Yum!! This is one of my new favorite coffeeshops. I got lots of goodies: mixed momo dumplings, iced ube latte, and the smoked salmon sandwich. All were so good.

Quite the quaint little coffee shop located right on Central Ave. They have a great selection of unique coffees and flavors. They also have a good amount of Bogart's Donut Co. donuts, Mogi Bagels and pastries from Rustica. The dining room is nice, plenty of tables, both large and small spread around, and a few couches and comfy chairs as well. The service was excellent, the coffees were perfectly made. We will be back here again for sure! read more

Tucked away in NE Minneapolis, this place is a total gem! The homemade Tibetan momo dumplings are rich and flavorful, clearly made with love and it's accompanied by a perfected chili oil (some of the best in the game). I asked the person at the register for suggestions and they recommended the ube white mocha latte -- which was served in a handcrafted mug...genius concept overall! The latte is both tasty and beautiful and fits right in with the quaint atmosphere at Momo Cafe. The medium chatter level makes it perfect for reading with headphones, and the clever wall separating the line from the seating area keeps things chill. Plus, free street parking? I would highly recommend this place!!! read more

Beautiful space with plenty of seating. It was super busy when my partner and I got there and the staff were all so nice and so helpful. I got the matcha latte and it was delicious! It comes unsweetened, which I prefer, and I added a dash of honey. My partner loved the ube white chocolate latte! It's on the special menu and he loved it! I generally don't like coffee, but I also really like the drink. We got the mixed momos (beef & veggie) and they were all super flavorful. The beef momos had a bit of broth inside, which helps make the flavors splash my mouth while eating. We couldn't figure out what it was, but it tasted like potatoes inside, I could be wrong, and it made the texture so soft. Overall, I highly recommend! We will definitely be coming back! read more

Walking into Momo Cafe is like stepping into an antique shop, with the shelves tastefully decorated with a variety of old teapots and other delightful brickabrack and memorabilia. They've put so much work into creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I was immediately drawn to their specialty menu, where Tibetan flavors take center stage. My eyes snagged on po cha, a Tibetan butter tea, and has now become my favorite with its nutty warmth. They have different flavors on rotation, I tried their black sesame latte and an ube white mocha on separate visits, both were lovely and rich. Momo dumplings come in 7s at $13 for beef, $11 for veggie, or $12 for mix. I didn't try them this visit, but noted that many others were ordering them, so they must be good. I'm so happy to see Bogarts Donuts in their pastry case behind their beverage cooler. This cafe is a great place for remote workers. Plenty of outlets and seating, a serve-yourself water cooler, and plenty of books to pursue while avoiding work emails. Parking is free on-street. Accessibility: note for folks with mobility issues: the door has a step leading up to it (see pic). For my fellow hearing impaired folks, cafe is lovely and quiet, with a whisper of background music. Easy for conversation, of course, this might change if there's a loud crowd. Open 8am to 4pm Monday - Thursday 8am to 8pm Friday - Sunday read more

I just might have a new favorite coffee shop! Momo Cafe's ambiance is a vibe: cozy, moody, unique. The barista was friendly and patient. My friends and I enjoyed our lattes with subtle yet unique, distinct flavors (black sesame, pistachio rose, and seasonal cardamom orange maple). The pastry options were also delicious (fennel scone, fig scone, and chocolate croissant)! Prices were very reasonable. I'll be back soon--can't wait to try the momos. read more

Busy place already~! Happy to see it. We are big fans of Momo Sushi so I was so excited to see Momo Cafe was coming soon and it's within walking distance of my home. The space is so cute and well decorated, they already need to expand as all the tables were full when we visited so we just took our drinks and momos home. There was space on some couches to wait and our drinks came out fast and momos not too long after. The momos are different than at the sushi place as I recall, at least, I loved these way more than any we've had at the restaurant. We got the veggies ones and they were almost like pierogis they were so full of soft potatoes. Delicious and fresh (I skipped out on the dipping sauce since I knew it would be spicy and used sweet and sour at home). For drinks we got an oatmilk latte and a pistachio rose which were excellent and affordable. I can't wait to visit again and try more and maybe catch them at a quieter moment so we can hang out inside longer read more

Awesome new coffee shop in NE! There was plenty of seating to work on your laptop or meet with friends. Very friendly and fast service and a super cute atmosphere. Definitely the only coffee shop I've ever been to with dumplings! I didn't personally try them but they looked great. They also had a case of Bogarts Donuts and various bottled drinks. There were many coffee options and other drink options as well. Really enjoyed my pistachio latte. Free street parking in front of building. Will definitely be back! read more

Nordeast is full of hidden coffee shop gems, and this spot is no exception. From the moment I walked in, the cozy atmosphere and friendly service stood out. The lovely waitress offered a few thoughtful suggestions, so I ended up trying the pistachio latte and a London Fog--both comforting and delicious. At first, I didn't notice any pastries, but they're tucked off to the side near the cashier. Turns out, they're baked fresh daily by Bogart's, which makes perfect sense once you take a bite. I especially loved the brown butter iced donut--it was light, fluffy, and perfectly balanced, definitely a step above the cinnamon swirl. One of the pleasant surprises? The prices were more affordable than I expected, especially for such quality drinks. The space itself is inviting, with plenty of tables, couches, and a couple of deadbolt bathrooms in the back. I'm already looking forward to my next visit--this one's definitely going into my rotation. read more

Beware going there early as their Momo dumplings won't be available until closer to 10 even though they open at 8. Also was told their dumplings were frozen when asked how much longer for my order. Finally got the beef momo togo since I had somewhere to be at and unfortunately it tasted dry and wasn't as good as I hoped. Lattes on the other hand were good and worth the trip! Donuts were cold even though I got it right when it got delivered. Service was very fast for everything except for the dumplings. Got there a little before 9 and didn't get the dumplings until closer to 9:40 even though I was told it'll be 15 mins. This cafe really relied on natural light as the back of the cafe is more on the darker side. read more

Super cool new spot! They have Tibetan decor and beautiful plates. Since I love the momos (dumplings) at Momo Sushi, I was happy to see them on the menu at Momo Cafe. The place was packed when we went on a Sunday morning so, understandably, they ran out of mugs for drinks and switched to paper cups. Everyone working was super friendly and nice in the midst of the chaos. We tried the ube latte and the pistachio rose latte - I'd definitely get the ube latte again! read more

I've been dying to check this place out and it did not disappoint!!!! Vibes are quiet, cool and, vibey haha. 10/10. The drink menu is funnnnnn and has something for everyone (hello ube matcha?!). I came specifically for the momo dumplings, and they HIT! It's an affordable place too!!!! Lots of drinks under $5, and I got stuffed on dumplings for $13 :) Seems like a great place to work or hang! Their food menu outside of dumplings is limited to a few sandwiches and pastries, but it's clear they're sticking to what they do well! Street parking out front from what I can tell. Friendly, quick staff. I hope they mix up the dumpling flavors so I have a reason to rush back in :) Will be back regardless!! read more

There are a lot of great coffee shops in Minneapolis but Momo Cafe is really one of the best. The shop itself is very cool. Lots of seating and awesome art/decorations. It's located just off Central so if it's busy the street can be somewhat hard to find parking. The coffee itself was delicious. They have unique signature lattes (we tried the rose pistachio) and of course the classics (also got a hazelnut latte). Both were delicious. If you live in NE this would should be a frequent stop. Although it was busy they made our coffee super fast and the staff was very friendly. Will be back. read more

Seriously, I have never seen a cafe with as cool as an interior! I love that it has so many different spaces for different cafe vibes from a couch, to small two seater tables, to bench like group meeting tables. The staff was unbelievably kind and answered all my questions (I tend to be picky). This matcha was not only beautiful but also delish. I will say the sizes are quite small for the step prices, but I am willing to pay to support a small business that is doing cool things for our city. :) read more

If the new Northeast had a face, Momo Cafe would be the stylish glasses perched on its shapely nose. This is a great spot to grab coffee or sit for hours with a laptop. There are high tables for setting up a work station and comfy couches to drop in while reading or chatting. There are tons of creative coffee options and many teas as well. The decor is gorgeous! They have a wonderful collection of antiques on display as well as a thoughtful, modern set of furniture. I'm looking forward to my next visit!! read more

I've heard there's a coffee shop that serves momo as well. I had to come check out the momo. This cafe is nicely decorated, reminds me of someone's house full of books, vase, expensive collections. We ordered our coffee, glazed donut, and of course beef momo. The momo comes with soy sauce and chilli oil. You'll have to order at the counter and then sit anywhere, once your food is ready they will call your name from the counter. This cafe is more self service. read more

Put this place on your bucket list this summer! Momo cafe was an amazing experience! The cafe has a nice vibe with cute stickers for purchase and comfy seating options.

Dumplings are homemade and the chili oil has a good amount of spice which i appreciated! Pastries were delicious!

Cool vibe. Cool menu curated with coffee, yummy donuts from Bogarts, and the signature Tibetan momos both vegetarian and meat. Love being able to grab a quick pick me up order of momos outside of their actual restaurant by the same name about a mile or two up the street on Central Ave, which is always packed!! The momos are a savory treat and I'm a fiend for the chili oil they come with. Be careful, it's spicy! And I have a high tolerance. Friendly staff and easy breezy ordering. Seat yourself and they bring cooked food out to you. The coffee is fine, the price is great. Got a cortado for $2.75. It was a lil weak but decent. I'll try another coffee next time. They have some interesting flavors, like ube white mocha and pistachio rose, that may rotate in and out. Plenty of on street parking available. Central A ensue has so many gems and this is another one. The decor is super cute and a lil like stepping in a Time Machine. Nostalgia on display. read more

Visited a friend over the weekend and stopped in around 9:45am Saturday morning. The place was hoppin with fellow coffee drinkers which made it a little difficult to find an open seat. While my friend ordered, I was on spot lookout and snagged the first open spot I could find which happened to be a small table. A little tight quarters in this coffee shop, but it worked. There's a variety of tables ranging in different sizes and couches as well. Cute little spot in the area. Right when you walk in, there's the counter. It was a little overwhelming trying to look at the menu and not be in the way, so I told my friend to surprise me. We tried the pistachio latte with rose pedals and London fog. Both were good, I'd have to say I wanted more pistachio flavor (it was very subtle). London fog was tasty and like a hug in a cup especially on the chilly spring morning. We also shared the brown butter donut and cinnamon swirl donut. The cinnamon swirl donut was my favorite. Great cinnamon flavor, light, and reminded me somewhat of a cinnamon roll without the icing. The brown butter donut was meh for me as it lacked flavor for my taste buds and just wasn't my favorite. I saw many folks getting the Tibetan dumplings which looked good. If I ever come back, I'll likely try those. Parking is street parking. I thought it as neat now they have a camera to snap a photo if you wish and add to the wall. I love a good Photo Booth photo, so of course we participated and added our photo to the wall of visitors. Personally, I didn't interact with stuff as I didn't place our order at the counter, but staff seemed friendly as I watched interactions being had and noticed staff circling the coffee shop to pick up empty cups/plates. read more

I loovvee Momo cafe. I don't go as often as I'd like because it's a bit of a drive for me, but it is definitely well worth it. In my opinion they have some of the best matcha in the twin cities, and their menu is very fun and unique. Been loving their hojicha lately (hot or iced, with half maple for sweetener, so good). The baristas have been lovely every time I've gone, and sometimes they'll put little flowers on your drink, so cute :) I also highly recommend the lavender cake donut. All of their pastries and food look good but I have to get that every time I go. read more

Time: May 2025 Place: The cafe is pretty spacious with has ample seating variety (large tables for group study, smaller dining tables, and a couch/sofa area). The decor and dark wood interior creates a cozy and chill atmosphere. I loved all the vintage and Tibetan themed decorations! The location itself is a bit separated from other food/shopping places and there is only street parking, so it will be a very intentional visit. We went on a Saturday, so the cafe was bustling with friends catching up and people getting work done together. We only interacted with staff taking our order, but they were friendly! Food: I loved that there were savory and sweet options at this cafe! We could get a quick bite to eat while also enjoying a drink. - Beef Momos: The texture was good, the momo skin was thick, chewy, and steamed perfectly! I found the filling to be a little too aromatic with the herbs they used, but it was masked by dipping it in soy sauce and the chili oil. The chili oil packs a slow heat, but I highly recommend eating it with the momos! I thought the vermicelli noodles inside were a nice addition to the filling. - Butterfly pea matcha: As with any other butterfly pea drink, it looked so pretty unmixed! The butterfly pea portion was creamy and sweet, but not a syrupy sweet taste, so it mixed well with the nuttiness matcha. The matcha portion was a nice dark green, but it didn't taste too bitter. - Corn latte: It is hard to get a corn drink right, and I can't say that I was too impressed with this mix. The coffee part itself was sweet and strong, but the corn did not blend well with the coffee. There were small bits of corn (mostly kernel skin) that added an interesting texture & chew, but it left me desiring either a topping that was more crunchy or soft/chewy. Overall, I would return to try more drinks as they had an extensive and creative menu of options! My favorite of the two I tried would have to be the butterfly pea matcha, as it was an energizing, smooth drink that was not overly sweet. While I thought the momos were decent, I would likely go elsewhere if I really wanted to satisfy the craving. However, it is a welcome menu option as I usually do want something savory to eat while sipping on a drink. read more

Love the ambiance of this place. Good coffee, pastries and pot stickers. Great service.

Drive past this place often and I like the aesthetics of it having a blend of modernity and industrial warehouse style charm. This cafe is right on central Ave in NE Mpls right south of st Anthony parkway. When I walked in I noticed it was fairly busy. The space is decent enough with nice modern and not too bright of a lighting. There's plenty of seating with mixed couches and wood dining tables. There's nice shelving that has different trinkets and pots giving it a homesy appeal. On the menu are simple coffee drinks your latte, cappuccino, macchiato etc then they have a smaller menu with drink specials. I decided to try the pistachio rose latte which was well fully made and comes with flower petals inside the drink as decoration. The drink was decent. Nice authentic coffee. Not very sweet but good strong coffee. There were also food items that I'd have to check out next time and review. read more
