Kind of an unusual review because I was in the space, but wasn't able to have any of Northern Coffeeworks' beverages. Was there the other night for a community get together/fundraiser. Just wanted to shout out Northern Coffeeworks for opening their space to the community for a space to come together for action and solidarity. The space at NCW is perfect for bigger events, like the one last week. I am sure it is super cute as a coffee shop as well. They have really gorgeous dark green painted walls and some exposed brick! Lots of fun art, trinkets, and food available to purchase as well. Will be coming back ASAP to try their drinks, just wanted to give props! read more

The perfect coffee shop to meet with a group or work remotely! I did not expect it to be so huge inside, but there's a spot for everyone-- a nook with couches that a mom group was meeting at, tables for solo workers, and everything in between. The vibes were very cozy inside. The baristas were really nice and the north shore latte was delicious. The only downside was parking on the street was very full because of how popular the spot is. read more

Was in town for a few days and ended up here everyday to get some work done. I loved this place! It was so busy every single day! Lots of good spots to work from and a comfortable, inviting environment. The coffee was top notch. I tried the cold brew one day but ended up getting the Northshore latte multiple times. I love that they serve it in an actual mug if you're going to be there. The quiche was good but the almond croissant was TOP TIER!! Good little spot! read more

The coffee is good! My favorite is the Harvest Latte - fabulous blend of fall spice. I love coming to work here but the internet is lousy. Often seeing speeds below 1MB (this morning it's 780 Kbps). Considering the amount of customers in here with laptops, we should expect some reliability with internet connection). I want to love this place and need great places to work but the bottom line is, I can't get a reliable connection in here and I'm forced to go somewhere else. I spent $16.90 this morning on coffee and a breakfast burrito. I would happily pay more if there's reliable internet. Meh read more

VIBE This feels like the buzzing work/community hub of the neighborhood - at 9am, just about every seat was filled with a warm body and a laptop, clocked in and caffeinated, ready for a full-day's remote work. The space itself is spacious, and with lots of merch to browse. SERVICE & COFFEE Meanwhile back at the counter, after getting input from the (friendly) barista I had a fantastic Papua New Guinea pour-over that was chocolately, vibrant, fruity, and complex. Halfway thru my cup, I was inspired to get up from my stool and buy a bag of the beans to bring home with me to CA. Back in CA and halfway through said beans, I went online and ordered another bag. FOOD Wish they had more hot food breakfast options - they did have a variety of pastries and also a breakfast burrito, but we would have loved a more extensive hot menu. read more

Had a very yummy cardamom garam masala latte...super interesting, I was into it. I also had delicious almond scone. The baristas were super nice and patient. If I had more time, I would have sat and enjoyed the largest beautiful space. There's plenty of tables and even some picnic tables outside. read more

I immediately fell in love with the coziness and atmosphere of Northern Coffee Works. The coffee is outstanding and affordable too! The staff seemed like they rly enjoyed working here. I can only imagine it's because the owners treat them with respect and fairness which is always a huge thing for me. Definitely worth visiting if you haven't been yet. read more

This is my favorite spot to work remote, the coffee is varied and delicious, the music is always unique but fitting, they have a crazy variety of snacks and are extremely welcoming of everyone, if I was asked to run a coffee shop I'd want it run like this. I'd take with a grain of salt anything negative anyone has to say about Northern. read more

What a beautiful space! So much room to connect with friends over coffee and a pastry. I enjoyed a pour over and then a chai latte. The pour over was exquisite, the chai was fine. I did not have a pastry but my friends did and enjoyed them. I wish we had a coffee shop this spacious with beautiful decor in my neighborhood read more

This was my first time at Northern Coffeeworks. My friend and I decided to come here to co-work. This place is perfect for it. Ample seating, clean, and plenty of plugs. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was great! The baristas were friendly and made good coffee. Thank you Northern Coffeeworks for a comfortable place to work and get out of the house during the winter. And for an excellent cup of coffee :) read more

Genuinely some of the best coffee I've ever had. Their latte with the maple syrup is my personal favorite. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Buying their coffee beans is a bit expensive, but the flavor is honestly worth it in my opinion. read more

A lovely place to get work done, with quirkily cute decorations and an attentive staff. Consistently excellent coffee and seasonal options that keep things interesting. read more

Very good working spot. Lots of seating, although the wifi can get slow at times and you may suddenly be stuck next to someone with a loud voice and a lot of zooms (neighbor, I don't think this is where you should teach classes from). Some spots also are under things like a very aggressive air conditioner, brrrrrr. But, decent coffee (I guess I need to come back for straight espresso), fancy pastries from Marc Heu, and one of my favorite bakeries is right next door. I'd work here again. read more

I love northern coffeeworks they make the best lattes and share love in our community

I spend too much money at Northern Coffeeworks. I'm a sucker for the expresso drinks here, they are amazing, some of the best in town. The brew coffee seems to be hit or miss sometimes, or maybe I got fancy taste now? The vibe is great for remote work. Lots of wooden tables (not the most comfy) and open space. This means some days, if you arrive at 9am, good luck getting a table.... Or even on the weekends, you'll be fighting folks who bring over donuts from Bakers Wife. Shop has pastries from Marc Heu (whose pastries are just meh, like why does everything have to have a coat of sugar over it, including plain croissant or a savory ham/cheese croissant). Also, why is the orange juice $7 dollars? I wished they have food like the pre-pandemic days. read more

We came for the fruit and grain pastries, and stayed for the caffeinated beverages! Northern Coffeeworks is a perfect spot to stop before or after the Mill City Farmer's Market!! For the fruit and grain pop tarts, hand pies, etc. be sure to check out their Instagram for what to expect as it changes daily/weekly!! I have never had anything I wouldn't recommend, but the bacon, cheddar, and cream cheese hand pie was absolutely incredible, and the pop tarts are divine if you have a sweet tooth!! I also enjoyed my matcha latte with my pastries! Their coffee specials are unique and tempting, too. The service was great, and the seating areas are very pleasing with brick and live edge wood throughout. It is a great spot if you need a change of scenery while working or studying! read more

So lucky to have this place in the neighborhood. The staff are always friendly. Big and spacious place. I only drink black coffee , but I really appreciate a GOOD cup of coffee. Northern consistently pours out a great cup of coffee. If I were to change anything, I'd put in comfier couches. read more

Great spot to work from. Very good amount of seating, outlets, and tables. I tried the chai and it was delicious (chai can be hit or miss for me). I wish they had a better variety of baked goods and that those weren't quite as expensive. But the drink prices are reasonable. Very very cute place. read more

I have never found it so difficult to contact a business. I thought I may have left a jacket there, so I phoned them...or tried to. Repeated attempts over several days. No answer, and their voicemail was full. I sent an email to the address suggested by their recording, but so far, several days later, have still gotten no response. Edit: I did get a return email after a couple of days. But the phone problem remains. Their phone is in the office, so it only gets noticed if someone is there. read more

This place is so cool. Very roomy with lots of lit and dimmer areas. Eclectic furniture and places to sit, including 2 picnic tables. Spacing is perfect. Roomy bathrooms. Various items to purchase including a candle that smells like a boomer aftershave. I took off a star because the hot chocolate had an odd under taste even with sugar. It was also lukewarm. Order it very hot if you get it. It's a fairly busy place, but they are fast. Whenever I go to a Baker's Wife I'll stop here. read more

Good coffee shop option close to Gold Medal Park and Mill City ruins. Great space to hang out with people to chat or to do work. Almost every seat has a dedicated power supply and nice roomy benches. The old brick surrounding is lit with natural light and gives a soft ambiance that is great for working on a laptop but bright enough still to read a book or document. Their menu is standard for what you will find at artisan coffee shops but have a few seasonal drinks that are very unique and interesting. They also serve wine and beer for those who are not into coffee. I tried one of their iced mochas and enjoyed it. They used whole milk and high quality espresso and it showed in the smoothness and creaminess of the drink. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area and need to work remotely. read more

This isn't your run of the mill coffee shop. The unique seasonal menu and the salted mocha is to die for.

If you haven't been to their renovated location yet, it is a must visit. Northern Coffeeworks offers incredible drinks for coffee and non coffee lovers alike. My go to is the matcha or any of their seasonal offerings. They sure know how to bring seasonal flavors to their customers, and they don't miss. They also have some great pastry options. During the weekday, its a great place to get some work done, and during the weekends it stays consistently busy. There is lots of different seating for a number a different size groups, and the atmosphere is cozy. Make sure to ride your bike there during the summer months, as you will see lots of the biking community stopping by. read more

Northern Coffeeworks is such a sharp little shop. It was recommended to me by a coworker -- "nice breakfast food, but it takes a while." She was right! Also, the prices are higher than other little cafes but I'm sure it's because of the high-quality ingredients used in their products. My group ordered a bacon grilled cheese, chili, and the cabin breakfast, with two apple ciders. The apple cider tasted so great, like applesauce but in a warm juice with added spice. The chili did not have beans in it, see the photo to check it out. The cabin breakfast was the best deal -- two eggs, two little hearty biscuits (with the option to purchase a tiny tin of jam), sausage (chicken or pork) or bacon, and a seasonal fruit side. I loved it, and it came with a little green apple which was great for a dessert later. I'd come again, it was a beautiful space with great ambience and tasty food. read more

I really enjoyed this place! The North Shore Latte was SOOOO GOOD. I don't even usually drink coffee (more of a tea gal) but this was truly delicious. The baristas were kind, and there were little tables set up with local artists selling their work. Some of the artists were very progressive and supportive of oppressed communities, which made me really glad to see. Overall, I had such a nice experience, and I hope to go back soon. read more

Current favorite coffee place in the Cities. Had a friend visit from Southern California who was blown away by their coffee. Everything I've had has been divine! They're branding on their merch is clean and modern, tons of sitting space to work or connect with friends. A few fine coffee equipment things available for purchase. Every barista knows wtf they're doing. Impeccable! Their Miel and Smoked Sea Salt Mocha keep me coming back. Not a huge fan of the Fruit and Grain poptart handpies they sell (I think I just don't care for handpies), but Bakers Wife is right around the corner. read more

I have been eyeing this spot since I moved in just down the road. I walk past it a lot and it seemed like a cozy place to work, so one weekend I decided pop in for a change of scenery while grading papers. It was definitely crowded when I came in on Saturday morning, but I had no trouble finding a space to settle in. I noticed that every seat/table had its own conveniently located outlet associated with it, so it was easy to set up shop for a couple of hours without worrying about my battery dying. I was a little disappointed in the food selection. They had plenty of vegetarian friendly sweet options, but I was really craving something savory with my sweet Chaider. I did really like the flavor of the Yeast Raised waffle and would definitely get it again, but it would be nice to have a vegetarian breakfast sandwich or hashbrowns without meat/eggs. It wasn't a deal breaker though, and I would definitely return! read more

We were recommended this coffee spot by our Hilton hotel concierge and was vastly disappointed. The bacon Mac & cheese pastry was served cold - we were not given the option to heat it up. Pedal Paddle - Espresso shot was pretty awful and nasty to say the least. The hot coffee is decent, but nothing mind blowing. read more

Came here for a bite to eat one Saturday morning and was completely charmed. The coffee shop is adorable with exposed brick and beautiful lattes. The line was pretty long when we walked in and it stayed steady the entire time. Very popular spot! I ordered a latte and the veggie biscuit sandwich. This was the most delicious latte I have ever had. I couldn't put my finger on why it was so good - maybe full fat milk. I kept taking small sips to savor the whole cup. The sandwich was a bit messy but the fried egg, soft cheese and tomato with aioli was so yummy. My husband got the other biscuit sandwich which tasted similar to mine but with bacon on it. Would highly recommend stopping in if you are nearby this place. read more

Northern Coffeeworks was an unexpected delight for a casual Sunday brunch. Unexpected to find a crowded coffee shop in a row is shops downtown Minneapolis, it was a great treat to see they had a delightful menu to go along with their aesthetics. Ordering the veggie skillet and seeing a lot of the other menu items ordered- this is a coffee shop with benefits. Despite the high price of coffee and food, I recommend this spot for anyone looking for something new and different in their coffee shop or breakfast line up. read more

I kinda have a love/hate relationship with Northern Coffeeworks. Their food and drinks are delicious, but dang it's really expensive. I had the standard breakfast with eggs, bacon, potatoes and biscuits. Honestly this was not worth the money. Bacon was soggy/not crispy. Biscuit was a little small, but it was good along with the eggs and potatoes. Portions were just too small for the price. For $5 I tried some matcha drink. It was good, but again definitely not worth $5 and I would not get this again. My husband had the Smoked Turkey Sandwich and THIS is why I'm giving 4 starts. The Smoked Turkey Sandwich was really really good! In fact I think I ate half of my husbands (sorry, not sorry) and traded him a tiny biscuit. Such good sweet and savory flavors happening there. I want to go back just to get this. The space is beautiful and it's close to Mississippi bike trail. Be careful though, you can easily spend $40 for a quick breakfast and drinks for 2. Oh and they have coffee and wine if your looking for that as well. Not sure how parking is since I biked, but I assume not that great being downtown. I think Northern has potential and I'm interested in trying some other menu items to see if they are as good as the sandwich. read more

Food and coffee is great but EXPENSIVE (hence, minus 1 star). We ordered 2 fried egg biscuit and a coffee to share for a quick lunch and it was $30! To be fair, it was a gourmet biscuit. They also serve Intelligentsia coffee and it's one of our favorites. We first discovered it in Chicago. The staff told me that they only serve it from time to time. So, I would recommended giving them a call before heading over if you're only there for that particular coffee. Overall, it's a cute spot to check out if you're looking to grab some coffee on that side of town. Street parking only. read more
