Coffee Flight. L to R: Strawberry Fields Matcha, Orange Brown Sugar Sage Latte, Lucky Charms Cereal Latte, Bananas Foster Latte.
Rickard S.

Wonderful little coffee spot to visit in northeast Minneapolis. A step above the 'big box/chain' coffee shops. I consider this as a shop that creates 'craft' coffees. You can get your basic coffee, but the options on the menu here are fun to explore. My friend and I tried the current coffee flight; he also had a Froze (frozen Rosé). The description of the current coffee flight is shown in the caption. There will be a 'summer flight' in the near future. The staff here are smiling, attentive to your order, and pleasant. They have a number menu items which we are going to try the next time we're in the neighborhood. We were there on a Friday in the late-afternoon. The place was pretty full and the noise level was tolerable. There is a counter area so if you're there by yourself, I'd recommend a place at the counter. There did appear to be connections for USB/electric outlets at the counter. I didn't see any near our table. A definite follow-up visit is in the future.

Silver fern had been on my coffee bucket list for a while now and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere I would describe as cozy and bustling it gets really busy in waves. I ordered a lucky coffee flight that included Lucky Charms Latte ,Tiramisu Latte , Pot 'O Gold Latte ,Pretty in Pistakio Latte I got it hot because the barista said it was more aesthetically pleasing which it was. My friend got the iced one which was also delicious. My favorite would be the tiramisu it was delicious. This place also has some great wine selections my friend did a wine flight the rose was delicious. I also got the avocado toast which was yummy but the flatbread knocked it out of the park so yummy I would go back and order it again. It was crispy flatbread with seasoned homemade fresh ricotta, mozzarella, confit tomato, diced onions, and two eggs finished with a garlic olive oil drizzle and I Added prosciutto definitely a must have. Can't wait to go back!

They have coffee flights which are fun and change the lineup from time to time! I love their cookie butter latte and usually you can't go wrong with any of their limited time coffee drinks. Their baked goods are also superb!

This place is very delicious, the flights were very good, my favorite was tiramisu. And the croissant was okay but nothing special. I do think the place is overpriced, 30 dollars for one plain croissant and a flight of very small coffees.

Tiramisu latte & Raspberry cheesecake latte

We tried this place for a coffee flight we seen online but once we got there we realized it was going to be too long of a wait for us. It was really busy on Sunday morning which is expected. We ended up grabbing two of their speciality lattes and loved them. It seemed like it was seat yourself so we found a spot to enjoy these drinks. The layout felt spacious even though it was busy. The decor was very modern but lots of greenery. It is in the heart of St Anthony Main in Minneapolis so it would be a perfect spot to start a Sunday funday with your friends. I'll be back to try the flights but make sure to give yourself enough time! It got a 4/5 due to the wait time and confusion on seating yourself or waiting.

Went on a late Sunday morning date to Silver Fern in Northeast. It's such a cozy spot, but gets super busy so seating is limited. I was craving a latte and a pastry, so decided to check them out. I ordered take out and it came out pretty quickly! The pastry's were limited as I got there later in the morning -- recommend going earlier to get a better selection. Settled for the sweet potato & broccoli quiche with mixed greens and the Miso caramel latte. Both were so completely satisfying! I'm already thinking about when I'm going to go back. Would love to be able to try their coffee flights or their breakfast pizza. Parking is on the street, but didn't have to walk too far. Put Silver Fern on the list of places to check out!

Great coffee shop in NE Minneapolis. They have a rotating coffee menu and smoothies make an appearance in the summer. They typically have GF/V bakery items in addition to their full menu. Service is always prompt and friendly. You order the counter and pick a seat at a table. There is bar, communal, and individual table seating. I have found it to be nice for work or just hanging out. Open 8AM-5PM!

State fair coffee flight
Tracey F.

Had been hearing great things about the coffee flights here, so wanted to come over to give that a try. We stopped by while the state fair flight was on and the coffees were so good. I also had a breakfast sandwich and we got some pastries, which were all great. I do want to come back for lunch or dinner and an adult beverage sometime as well. Staff were fantastic. We had lots of questions and asks for recommendations and they were so helpful. Made the experience even better.

autumn coffee & matcha flight
Hanah L.

If you are looking for a coffee and matcha flight, make sure to add Silver Fern to your list! We came here on Saturday late morning and let me tell you it was so busy!! We did have to wait about an hour to get our flights because they ran out of the cups, so it definitely made me more excited to give it a try. There are plenty of seating and tables here, however it's a bit tight especially when it's filled with people. The staff were helpful and friendly, although I am giving this place 4 stars for the price. It was $20 for one coffee flight which seemed a bit steep in my opinion. You can choose an iced or hot flight and can substitute the milk for milk alternatives. Overall, this was such a fun experience and I'm glad I got to experience my first coffee and matcha flight here!

Silver Fern is a lovely coffee shop in Northeast with a warm, welcoming vibe. The staff is always incredibly friendly, and the space has a great ambiance, even if it can be tough to snag a seat since it's usually busy. They do a fantastic job with creative seasonal drinks -- the State Fair coffee flight was such a fun experience and absolutely delicious. Their standard lattes are solid, but the specialty drinks are where they really shine. I also love that they offer wine, and their bakery case is always tempting -- the biscuit, in particular, is excellent. A cozy neighborhood spot that manages to feel both lively and relaxed.

Hot coffee flight
Angela L.

Stopped here because we had heard about the coffee flights and we wanted to take family to try it out. You will need to street park, but we didn't have any issues finding any. When you walk in the set up is simple but fun with plants and decor. The staff greeted us and were very friendly. You also can see the options for pastries right always. One thing I would recommend is that we never saw options for food other than the pastries, or we would have ordered something more substantial. The only menu we saw was for the coffee. Our pastries were all very good though and the flight was flavorful. We got one iced and one hot and also ordered a caramel macchiato. I would definitely go back and try more options.

Silver Fern has quickly become one of my favorite local cafes! When the weather is nice enough, walking here to grab a coffee/tea or brunch with friends is a go to! It can become a bit busy but you can usually find some seats and the food & drinks are worth it. I love that at night it turns into a wine bar with trivia and other events as well!

Iced cinnamon roll latte
Amanda L.

Located in the heart of NE Minneapolis, this is a great coffee shop option! The inside is beautiful and cozy. They have specialty drinks for the holidays, so I got the iced cinnamon roll latte which was delicious! Service was friendly and quick. No dedicated parking lot but plenty of street parking nearby.

Small Hours is such a cool concept. It feels like a European wine bar dropped right into a…read moreneighborhood setting. The wine list is really thoughtful and leans toward smaller, lesser-known producers and unique regions. Even if you know wine well, there are still plenty of interesting picks here. Just note that by-the-glass options are limited, so it's more of a place where you end up ordering a bottle. The space is beautifully designed. Very minimal, clean, and intentional. It feels elevated without being overdone. It is definitely expensive for what it is. Both the wine and food lean high in price, but you're also paying for the atmosphere and overall experience. The menu is also a bit different in a fun way. The tinned fish selection stands out and isn't something you see often. The radish butter and bread was a highlight and absolutely worth ordering. Service is a little unconventional since you order at the counter, which feels a bit off given the pricing, but everything still runs smoothly.

Small, but mighty. Cozy, but not necessarily comfortable. Great wine, good food…read more The concept is great! A fabulous wine menu and knowledgeable staff. We wanted a recommendation and the wine picked for us was excellent. Went with the Plavac Milos. The food is honestly incredible! The carrots were my favorite. Someday I'll get enough courage to try the tinned fish. I wish seating was a little more comfortable for the whole "drink a bottle and stay awhile" vibe. It also can get pretty loud when it's busy in the tight quarters.
