Street parking is available for this small little shop. It took me a second to find it after my GPS told me I had arrived, but I promise it's there! The interior is quaint and intimate, full of groups conversing and sharing a cup of joe. The barista was friendly and I could tell spent quality time making my latte! I went with a seasonal latte and it was impeccable. They have inventive, yet refined specialty and rotating flavors that really impressed me. I don't see bitters as an ingredient too often, but loved the options here. I'll absolutely be back to check out more!

I have been in the search for a cozy coffee shop and this place really meets my expectations!…read moreLocated in a quiet neighborhood, it feels less commercial and more homey. While I was there there were mix of people from millennials working on their laptops to parents with their children. Didn't feel pretentious like other coffee shops in Uptown. The place isn't too big so during busy hours it might be harder to find a place to sit but since it is tucked away it did not seem crowded or loud when I was there. I only got a latte but they did have some pastries that looked very good. They pay fair wages so you don't have to tip yet the prices are almost the same at other coffee shops I go to. Makes me wonder if those other places are overcharging me since the prices are the same yet I "should" tip there. Service was great as well. Would come back again!

The ideal balance of sweetness, not overpowering the great coffee flavor. And they make their own syrups! I didn't know that was a thing. They are clearly popular in the neighborhood because they've always been very populated when I've been there. They have a display case with some bakery items but they are clearly hanging their hat on the coffee experience. Parking is actually kind of tricky, but that's the only real knock. That's city life, baby. My barista was working hard during my recent visit, but also maintained a cheery conversation with me so I just really like it here.

Hello hand pies and homemade pop tarts! (no steal the old pastry served here!!) -Kid, friendly too! (They have pinball machines!) -ample and variety of seating! They have cultures and coffee tables as well as regular tables and seats. And even seating along the bar. -Free street and parking lot parking! (I love, not having to worry about parking when I head into the cities.) -Community orientated. They have a tag board with a variety of things (I'm drawing a blank as to if it's poetry nights or game nights or amateur music nights, but I recall seeing that they had some fun things listed.) I've been here twice. The first time I met with my adult daughter- I grabbed coffee and she grabbed both coffee and a flight of beer. The 2nd time, I brought my eight-year-old here to have coffee and sit and do art together. Both experiences were relaxing and fun to see all the pups! And those hand pies... They were big become a staple snack to grab when coming here in the future! I love their creative coffee of the month selection. And being selective gal of good quality coffee that I am, I definitely give their coffee a five star! The staff has been friendly and patient with me both times trying to narrow down my decision on what to order. (so many yummy choices!) And of course it has the cozy, friendly northeast Minneapolis vibe! It's quickly going to become my favorite coffee shop!

I ended up at this coffee bar after a little digging. I learned that Curioso Coffee Bar's approach…read moreto sourcing beans was shaped by the founder's time in Panama, where he roasted his own coffee using beans sourced directly from local producers and sold at his café. I know firsthand that coffee is king in Panama, so I figured anything inspired by their incredible coffee culture had to be worth trying. I visited Curioso on an early Sunday morning and immediately found it special. Not just for its coffee, but for the ambiance, service, and overall vibe. Curioso is a large, welcoming space that's part coffee bar, part brewery. I was immediately impressed by the variety of entertainment for all ages: arcade games, pool tables, dart boards, a skee-ball machine, board games, and even claw machines. Seating options are abundant, from cozy couches to tables and high-tops. There's a toddler play area and a library filled with books for all ages. The space feels family-friendly and is warm, welcoming community gathering space for all. I noticed flyers for free community events Curioso hosts, like Sunday Morning Yoga and Tuesday Trivia nights. The service was equally warm! The barista, although managing a busy Sunday morning solo, took her time to explain coffee options, highlight weekly specials with her own recommendations, and describe the pastries in partnership with Fruit & Grain and Bagels from St. Paul Bagelry. Oat milk is the standard for all their drinks! (Which I loved) We tried two speciality lattes: the "Butter Luck Next Year" (iced) and the "Blue Ribbon Peach Pie" (hot). Both were exceptional! Strong, robust, and delicious. Alongside, we also enjoyed an "Everything" handpie and a "Blueberry Lemon Curd" pop tart. Both pastries were out of this world delicious! I loooooved this pairing. I'm a sucker for savory, so the "Everything" handpie reigned supreme for me. Although I don't have a fur-baby (yet), I would like to include that Curioso is fur-friendly. I'm looking forward to returning several more times!

Specialty coffee seems newer in Minneapolis, and this place seems to get it…read more Ginza was an oat latte and served like a cocktail. The foam and body worked great together, and it wasn't too sweet by Asian standards. The miso tired latte tasted more bland, and closer to a regular latte. The miso flavor could be stronger. Decor was geared toward nostalgia than anything else. Felt like a throw back to simpler times. Not sure if there's parking, it didn't look like any in the front. Within walking distance from a bus stop. The bakery across the street was excellent. Service was fast considering only 1 person was working. Cash App locals rewards, if you're into rewards.

We finished with a small citrus tart, plus a cortado and cappuccino, and everything was delicious. Great food, wonderful service, and incredible pastries. Do not miss this spot!

As for the food, this time I got the quiche Lorraine, mocha, and a seasonal caramel apple tart for a total of $31, pre- tip. If cost is a concern you can always opt for the free water, and one food item. The quiche was okay. The crust was a bit overdone, but I was more put off by the loose texture, which I don't recall being a past issue. The lady next to me who also had it, said the same, but agreed it was still edible. I asked an employee about it and he said it had to do with the fat from the bacon and cheese melting releasing oils, which results in less firm product. I wouldn't get it again. The salad was also okay, but the vinaigrette was bland. The 10oz mocha was fine and plentiful for dining in. I noticed that it tasted more like a latte, but as I got closer to the bottom the chocolate flavor was noticeable. Guess I should have stirred it! The dessert, a Caramel Apple Tart was the highlight... very tasty. It had what seemed like a shortbread crust, a crumble layered over it, a pastry cream on that, followed by an apple compote, a dollop of cream and rose petal. Despite a few misses, because I've always enjoyed their pastries, and I'll still give 4 stars and probably just stick to that moving forward.

It's a small shop right next to brasa, and it's a really great vibe outside and inside. It was a warm space where they also sold retail kitchen items. They looked a bit pricey but made for good eye candy. They also have premade house Giardiniera, pimento cheese and ricotta with honey. It was good service as well, came right out wrapped and ready to roll. When I got home I heated up the pastry and the feast was on. I opted for the corner store sandwich which was a classic egg cheese bacon sandwich but it was anything but your typical sandwich. The thick cut bacon had really been cooked down and the layers just went together so well. The bun was buttered and a little flaky which helped it all. The cinnamon roll was unreal. It had such a nice flaky texture that was still soft and chewy. Cinnamon rolls often rely too heavy on the icing but on this cinnamon roll it was the perfect ratio. The last pastry I didnt get the name of, it looked to be a seasonal danish with sweet potato, pecans, and cinnamon. Not a combination im super used to seeing and it was wonderful. Definition of sweet not too sweet. Really enjoyed this spot and it's definitely an awesome place for easy breakfast eats!!
