This is such a lovely little spot in the lobby of the Vandalia Tower building/offices. The latte was lovely and the staff were proactive and engaging. The open space is nice, too. The only challenge is that it is not easy to find if you are looking for it. Apple Maps directs you to the Annex building. The SK Coffee website doesn't offer much info about the specification locations beyond hours and address. It would also be nice to see a menu of the drinks offered at each location (this is often a factor for me when choosing a coffee spot).
SK Coffee has fantastic coffees - they source micro-lots of beans from farms around the world and prepare their beverages with precision and care. The space is very open with lots of seating and doesn't get too loud. WiFi is free and there are many tables where you can do work if you enjoy working from coffee shops. They also have baked goods from a variety of local businesses, and you can place orders with Jersey Girl Bagel for pickup. The staff is kind and excited to talk coffee if you have questions about any of their roasts.
I've started stopping here for coffee and I'm getting increasingly excited to do that with increasing frequency. It's really good coffee. This was recommended by a friend who is very serious about coffee quality, and he stocks up on beans from here because they are literally the best. I just love their hot, sweet brews, plus also the friendly service and vivid vibes. This is in the misleadingly-named Vandalia Tower complex along with Lake Monster Brewing and Gremlin Theater, and it has that industrial, artisan-y warehouse atmosphere that I really enjoy. I've been in on weekday and weekend mornings and there is always a pretty big smattering of customers but service is always quick. Definitely recommend! Park in front of Lake Monster; check my pics to see where to enter.
Love this cafe! I've been here a few times to get work done or meet up with friends and it's great for both. The ambiance is cool with art installations in a warehouse-like setting. They have wifi, plenty of seating, a large parking lot, and drinks as well as pastries. The baristas are also super friendly and helped me decide on which coffee beans to purchase last time. I usually get the sweet gallium latte which is their spin on a vanilla latte -- it's delicious but I'd recommend getting it half sweet.
Great matcha. Chill coffee shop atmosphere. To top it off, parking didn't suck! We will definitely be back.
It's a hidden gem in a gorgeous warehouse building! I had no idea the building was renovated because there's no signs on the exit from 94, but there's a big parking lot off the street shared by Lake Monster brewing. Huge windows with lots of light and plants everywhere. It's just in the lobby to the building so it's very open with two big tables and a counter with plug ins to work at. Most spots were filled from 10am-noon. Even with no walls, it's very quiet and peaceful. The wifi signal was strong and great for working there. The miel was incredible and oat milk was no upcharge. They had a limited coffee menu with a spiced latte as the only syrup option that I saw. The barista was super nice. There was a pastry case with a few options that looked amazing. It's very pricey for a coffee but it's a cool shop to try!
Fun coffee shop in a warehouse in St Paul. I wasn't expecting it to be in the lobby of the warehouse so it didn't have the coziest feel but there were plants everywhere and it was calm and there were enough tables and chairs to work at for everyone! And a wall of plug ins and free wifi. The miel (honey latte) was so good and smooth and they didn't charge extra for oat milk. They also had pastry options and sell bags of coffee. It's right across from Lake Monster Brewing company so you can head over there for a drink after! And there was a Thai food truck outside when I was there on a Tuesday evening.
This place is heavenly! Sam is a wonderful and personable barista who makes your drink at the counter when you order. There is plenty of seating in this decoratively sprawled warehouse space on the first floor of the Vandalia Tower, making it an ideal study environment. There's even a corner outside the counter with lots of plants and greenery, very cute. I ordered the Sweet Galium, a take on the classic vanilla latte. The espresso was rich and the drink was immensely smooth. This is how coffee should be crafted! I'm not surprised this spot is rated one of Minnesota's best; glad I went out of my way to experience this gem.
An outstanding coffee shop located in one of the best places in Saint Paul! I love this place, because it is vintage Saint Paul, at its finest! As you walk into the coffee shop, you'll notice the warehouse, feel of the area with open, seating, high ceilings, and plenty of space to drink and socialize. The barista's know what they're doing, so make sure you not only order your favorite coffee, but savor the flavor! I love areas with plenty of creative space in this building definitely has it! The people are friendly, the atmosphere is golden and the coffee unforgettable! One of my favorite places to drink, work, and eat!
super good matcha! good vibes & nice staff. ambiance is chill & has fun art surrounding the space
Im from out of town, so it was a little hard to spot it. Its inside the buildings near the parking lot. The coffee was great and the staff was nice. I just got a coffee to go, but nice little spot
I stumbled upon SK Coffee the other day after my husband and I were in the area with some time to kill. The atmosphere is very cool and laidback, there's plenty of open space and seating options with outlets close by. The decor is really fun and eclectic as well. I'm more of a chai latte person than a coffee person, so I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that they carry Chiya Chai from Namaste Cafe. I love being able to support multiple local businesses and find it really cool when places collaborate like that. The barista was also very nice and welcoming and did not seem bothered at all by me asking about their chai supplier. My husband tried their iced americano with oat milk and caramel and thought it was really good as well. I definitely would love to come back sometime soon and hang out. read more

There are maybe very very few coffee shops that allow dogs indoors around Minneapolis-St. Paul and specifically a space that is large enough for me to bring my pup(s) and have our own comfy spot while not feeling too cramped or in anyone's way. The iced dolce was fantastic and I was able to sit and read for a while with my pup Raya. Definitely going back! read more

If you're a coffee purists or love trying a limited run beans from various regions make sure you pop into SK. They have a pure love for coffee. Offering a rotating menu of beans by buying small batch from regions like Ecuador and Columbia. No syrups are offered and limited milk options (oat only when I visited). I love coffee, so I loved visiting a place that clearly values, loves and has a unique take on coffee and roasting! They're unlike others in the twin cities. The entrance was a little confusing, as a first time visitor; it's located in the Vandalia Tower building. You can go in the main entrance to the building via the front or back and still find yourself in the coffee shop (don't let Google mislead you). The back entrance has a sign noting where SK is located, but the front doesn't. When in doubt look for a huge glowing LOL sign. read more

Hidden respite from this busy, car-traffic area. Ideal visit via bike with a well air-conditioned, large lobby of a room with comfy lounge chairs or even a few spots at a cute bar. Super fresh coffee for $3.50 and a simple selection of excellent Mojo Monkey donuts make for a great morning stop. Plenty of bike racks and patio seating shared with Lake Monster brewing. read more

Was able to chat across the bar with the baristas, even met the owner while he was testing out new roasts! Absolutely delicious coffee, came out quick, got to sit in a cool sunlit seating area, no complaints. Clearly they invest in making the best possible coffee, even the honey is made from coffee flowers or something sick like that. Coffee went down quick. read more

I hadn't tried Jinx coffee before, and I'm glad I stopped in to try their Nitro version of that. A bonus star because the barista was quiet a pleasant guy. read more

I went to SK a few months ago and was blown away by the absolute craftsmanship of their coffees. I thought the service was quick yet super personable. And I sat inside and worked on homework for a few hours in silence. It was so quiet and perfect for getting things done. Highly, highly recommend SK to students, businesspeople, and people looking for a chill spot to get work done while enjoying quality brew. read more

Best coffee in Saint Paul in my opinion! I always get the mocha which is not sweet sweet like your typical mocha but more like a dark chocolate bittersweet. Baked goods are amazing and locally sourced. SK Coffee is located in a warehouse with plenty of space to study. Cozy, hipster vibes with plants everywhere. Coffee beans, etc can be purchased right at counter too. Owners are very friendly and knowledgeable with their coffee! read more

Vandalia Tower has a very nice energy. There's a fair amount of seating. Coffee is very good but it is a small size for the price. Overall good experience. Great service too! read more
