    It's been a few years since I've visited Lori's. Now that it's finally merged with Mim's into one…read morebig multi-room establishment there is still a separate identity for Lori's. The polished hardwood floors and wood tables and large windows give it a modern sleek look which seems to be the trend for coffee bars motif in this decade. This is a huge improvement from the old Lori's. I did have my usual brewed of dark roast and found it one of the best. I actually complimented the barista on the roast who didn't reveal any secrets but did say, "we make it strong". If you haven't been here for awhile give it a try as it's a perfect place for studying, working or just contemplating your life so far. This is more of a walk up place so there is no parking lot and since this is across from the campus you'll have to park well down the block of the many neighborhood street to the West. **Still great coffee but no longer good selection of pastries and fresh baked cookies. Barista, not the nice lady but heavy set man made insensitive comment.

    Lori's is not a fancy place, so if you go in expecting a top-notch gourmet cup of espresso, you're…read moreprobably going to be disappointed. But that doesn't mean Lori's isn't worth stopping in. Here's what I love about Lori's: 1. It's an affordable, local small business that's essentially "on campus." I'd much rather spend my money here than on the overpriced coffee in the student center. 2. It's a community hub. People come here to share time with neighbors and classmates. There are plenty of regulars and the staff gets to know you and won't hesitate to pull out some recent photo and tell you a story. 3. THE SOUP. They have homemade soup every day for $3 (includes two slices of bread). They only cycle about two different kinds, but it's SO cheap and filling and wonderful on a cold winter day. When I forget my lunch, this is my go-to. 4. Patio/Seating/Mim's. It's attached to Mim's on the left (so you can get food AND coffee) and a large extra seating area on the right. It's a great place to cozy up and read. Also the patio is really nice in the summer, you can sit out on the lawn in the sunshine and watch people going about their business. I am very grateful for my reliable soup spot, and for cheap coffee on those cold mornings when you just can't wake yourself up. Thanks, Lori's!

    Are you KIDDING me with how perfect this coffee shop is. They have a very nice selection of coffee…read moredrinks and a pretty typical display case of baked goods. Actually, the latter they seem pretty proud of because when I came in this weekend the very friendly barista had pretty strong opinions about what coffee would go well with what baked good. I wound up with an awesome hot vanilla salted caramel latte and a nice chocolate croissant. But what really stays with me is how lively and enjoyable the environment is. Lots of families from the surrounding residential neighborhood, which is right on the Northern edge of St Paul, as well as people on their own making progress with their laptop activities. They have a lot of ourdoor seating, including a fenced in area which I assume is meant for dogs. There's a separate kids area with toys, and if you go further back there is a gift shop with very cute artisan items. This is a very happy place that I hope you will try!

It's right by my work, so I decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did! When you walk in, there are people gathered at tables both inside and out, and the space actually extends much farther back than you'd expect... even into a little hidden area or annex in the back. I ordered from their spring menu and got the pistachio rose latte with oat milk, along with a breakfast sandwich they customized for me without meat. Everything was delicious, and the vibes are immaculate! I'm already excited to go back on a sunny day to sit at the picnic tables or head into the quieter annex type rooms to get some work done. Such an interesting coffee shop--I can't wait to tell more people about it!

    I was looking for a warm drink on a gloomy Friday!I remembered The Finnish Bistro.I walked in and…read morethe first thing that stood out was the atmosphere.It was like I walked in to a cozy home.There were people laughing,University students studying and a stage...which made me believe they have open mic nights.There was a lot of local art.Just a rustic look everywhere. The menu is a Scandinavian theme. The breakfast and brunch are especially popular.They have items like pastries, quiche, wild rice soup, and unique dishes like Finnish-style French toast or sausage-based specialties. Portions are generous, and the baked goods are consistently praised as a highlight. I had the PULLA cinnamon roll,lemon white chocolate muffin and a lucky bun which was all suggested by Kayla who greeted me with a smile.The other employees were very helpful also and gave me the entire run down of their cafe. I was also encouraged to try the Kringler.I tried it with whole milk.I could tell coffee is their strong point.My drink was fantastic.The hints of cardamom all through the food was perfect! This place is laid back but they do bring it when it comes to good food.I will be back to try more of their breakfast menu!

    Stopped in around 3pm on a Sunday after lunch. There was a line, but it moved fairly quickly. Plus,…read moreit gave me sometime to decide what I wanted. Although, my eyes were looking at a few items, I had to go with a slice of the Bailey's chocolate torte. Can never go wrong with chocolate! It's a cute little intimate spot that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. It is seat yourself. Street parking as well. If I'm in the area, I'd stop by to satisfy my sweet craving.

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!)

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!

    A gem!! Located across the street from Hamline University, Ginkgo offers great coffee drinks,…read moresandwiches, breakfast items, baked goods, and a welcoming environment. Best part? Open until 8 pm many evenings!! As a night owl, I appreciate any coffee shop that has extended hours past a typical shop. The service is always hands on and staff members are quick to move lines along and take orders right away. Having a presence at both CHS Field and the MN State Fair, I am all about supporting this local Saint Paul shop. Inside the shop, there are always unique gifts to purchase such as cards, jewelry, painting, t-shirts, etc. I always advocate for shopping small especially for holidays and birthdays. When I stopped in on Wednesday evening, to my surprise, there was an open mic music night and I enjoyed listening to all the artists. I recommend checking the website to keep up with with all the happening. Lastly, there is a nice parking lot around the backside of the building along with a cute patio for the warmer months. Enjoy!!

    Meh coffee, good food, iffy front end staff and what are they doing with their front window?…read more Walking up to Ginkgo I was passing their front window and thought, this place must have been closed awhile. Dusty old espresso machine with dead flies? I swear it looked closed But no, it was open and their was a line. Great, I needed my caffeine. Bakery case looked good and I think they prepare them on site Ordered three pain au chocolat to go, along with an egg bake and a medium Americano to go First up was the egg bake. On a plate, not to go. Ok, that was mine and I could eat it there. It was ok, although under salted. Then came the Americano. Pretty meh. Thin. Not as good as Starbucks, which is my minimum bar. If you can't at least equal SB, you really shouldn't be selling coffee After I finished my egg, still no pastry. I went up and asked for them. Eventually put on the counter in a bag, but they couldn't be bothered to call my name. They were at least very good. Very underwhelming
