A truly stunning cafe in the Four Seasons Hotel - great spot to work if you're traveling, staying here, or want to pretend like you're staying here and treat yourself accordingly! I stopped in for a morning beverage and to work from here for a bit. My first impression: stunning. There's a literal tree inside, with beautiful serene, luxurious decor and finishes. It will put you at ease and make you feel like you're surrounded by beauty. The drink menu is concise, which I appreciate espresso, coffee, cold brew, lattes, tea, chai, and matcha. Prices were reasonable for being in the Four Seasons! They had more food options than I was expecting: - A great variety of pastries and cookies - Museli and parfaits, and breakfast sandwiches - Sicilian pizza slices or whole pizzas - Salads, bowls, and sandwiches for lunch My only complaint was no gluten-free pastry or cookie option - but a girl can dream! There were some salad, bowl, and soup options that were gluten-free. Service was friendly, quick, and I got my drink brought out to me shortly after ordering. Highly recommend if you're looking for a stunning spot to meet a client, work, etc. - it's sure to impress!

My new favorite coffee shop! The staff were so friendly and white chocolate mocha was great. There was plenty of space to work and quiet.

Lemon meringue croissant

Socca is one of my go-to's for a treat! Their pastries are fresh, flaky, and delicious! My favorite is the almond croissant. The coffee is delicious and reasonably priced, too. The staff are always friendly and make you feel welcomed, whether you're getting a bite or a cup to go. Perk: it's connected to the skyway too, perfect on a cold February day!

Food

Food service: good Ambiance: Open windows with lots of lighting, business looking Pros: - Have quick foods like for lunch -Good music -Comfy seats; not wooden -Have pastries Cons: -Can study but not the ambience for it. -No charger plugs where we sat. Maybe no charger plugs everywhere else as well. -Not student friendly; closes early. -Closes at 4 -Tea not crazy good but aight -Pricey for college student budget. It's more like a sit and chat, enjoy the tea type of place. It is inside a building/hotel. You'll have to go into the building for parking. Can park out but it was too cold for us. Park outside if you don't want to pay $35 in parking.

Chai latte

Love this small cafe! Very trendy and upscale but not too bad in price. Their chai tea latte is awesome, tastes like quality chai with good flavor. Baristas are very friendly and helpful. Super bright environment, great for studying or work.

FOOD: BEST pastries I have had in Minneapolis! I went in with low expectations, since it is in a business building, however I was extremely surprised. Everything looked so good that I had to get multiple items! They were all so fresh, and the flavors were incredible. My favorite pastries in the area:) SERVICE: The line was a bit long when I came in, but it went by fast and so did my order. The staff was friendly and gave me good recommendations for my pastries! AMBIANCE: It's very fun being inside a corporate building, I really liked the hustle and bustle of the cafe. Gives very modern vibes and was sleek and simple. LOCATION/PARKING: Great location in the North Loop, very walkable if you live in Minneapolis. Parking might be difficult to find, and you will most likely have to pay to park for a bit.

OVERALL: a perfect cafe for WFH. FOOD: I ordered the almond croissant and the ham and cheese panini. These were both really tasty and I loved the almond croissant. The ham and cheese is heavy on the mustard and is reminiscent of a Cuban sandwich. PRICE: frankly I didn't know the prices of anything when I ordered it but the sandwich was $10 and I think the croissant was $5? ATMOSPHERE: I mean. Come on. The windows, the greenery, the seating...10/10. Stunning. Makes you feel fancy. SERVICE: I spent a good 3 hours here working on projects and everyone working was so kind.

Seating

Socca is a beautiful and bright space, with great seating and incredible coffee and food offerings. The staff knows their coffee, and got really excited about the drip from Wesley Andrews they had on offer (and rightfully so, it was fire). Not pictured is the $6 slice of Sicilian-style pizza I had that was also fantastic. And it was a generous slice for the price. Good enough for a light lunch by itself. Highly recommend. The only thing is that they're only open on the weekdays from 7am-4pm right now, so be aware.

Super nice, clean cafe! The food is very fresh. They offer a wide variety of baked goods, soups and sandwiches. Their coffee was very well made as well. Being connected to the Four Seasons Hotel the quality and cleanliness is top notch.

A welcome addition to an otherwise desolate part of downtown Minneapolis, I had high hopes for this Gavin Kaysen-led venture! To say I'm a fan of his other restaurants (Spoon and Stable, Demi and Mara) would be an understatement. Sadly, Socca falls short in customer service and overall delivery. OVERVIEW: Housed on the first floor of the new Four Seasons Hotel, the space is light and airy, but feels like more like a pop-up lobby coffee stand than a full-fledged shop. There's a good amount of table and counter seating inside but no dedicated outdoor patio seating, just a few public benches which feels like a real missed opportunity. COFFEE: Of the few times I've gone so far, I've stuck with iced coffee, most recently a cold brew and an iced caramel latte with oat milk. While they use local Peace Coffee, drinks are made in an automated machine, taking out the artistic barista element. I do appreciate they use compostable cups and products and pricing is nowhere near as high Spyhouse Coffee. SERVICE: This is where I have been most disappointed. Every time I have gone in, the wait staff have been nothing but rude and dismissive, acting like servicing guests is a real annoyance.

First thing first when you drive up to the place they offer valet parking. Second, the place is super cute. I ordered a hot matcha tea latte with white chocolate and this cheese spinach danish pastry which was so delicious warmed up. Will definitely come back for this. Matcha was too grainy for me and too sweet otherwise loved the atmosphere and the setup was really cute and vibey. Everyone was friendly and polite.

breakfast sandwich & iced vanilla latte

I had the breakfast sandwich & iced vanilla latte. The sandwich had a croissant bun and it was SO GOOD. I'm a breakfast girl through and through and this definitely made my cut. Aesthetics on point & the fact that it is located in the four seasons hotel gave it that oomph factor. Highly recommend!

Love this place. Wide selection of beverages and their almond croissants is everything. Looks aesthetically pleasing.

Caffetto is the quintessential Minneapolis coffee shop--they've got tasty, reasonably priced drinks…read more(including a robust selection of teas both hot and iced), good hours, and a real fun punk cafe vibe (lots of fun graffiti and vintage pinball machines). I think Caffetto kind of corners a market that no one else has by being open so late--most coffee shops are barely open past noon, and they're open until midnight! I've personally spent many a late night there finishing up work--it's a really cozy atmosphere, and the selection of pinball machines in the basement are the perfect study break activity. The staff are all great and even when there's a line, they get through it quick and are still able to offer great recommendations--while I usually prefer an iced green tea with no ice, I've tried the lattes, cold press, Thai coffee, and hot chocolate and have genuinely never had a bad drink here. The only thing is to make sure you watch your step if you're walking in the basement--even though it has seating and pinball and the bathroom, it's more of an unfinished space with uneven flooring and I personally rolled my ankle and fell there last year haha.

I jetted from work early to try this coffee shop because I needed a change of scenery and…read more.. well... it's Tuesday. :) I was surprised to find that the cafe was packed at 2:30 in the afternoon, but got lucky enough to snag an intimate table in the corner, perfect for reading a book in peace! I had a triple decaf almond milk latte that tasted like it was caffeinated to me but didn't give me the buzz I'm so addicted to, that's when you know it's a good decaf. I love the coziness and the unique artwork in Caffetto. I look forward to coming back at an earlier hour to feed my addiction. But it's great to know I have a go to coffee shop for those afternoon cravings where the decaf tastes just as delightful! UPDATE- 2 hours later: there's additional seating and a pinball machine room in the basement, glad I went downstairs to the bathroom.

Backstory may have the most beautiful coffee shop interior I've ever been in…read more The second I walked in, I actually laughed because it felt way too gorgeous to be "just" a coffee shop. The soaring industrial ceilings, massive windows pouring in natural light, dark wood shelving, plants everywhere, books, artwork, vintage decor, and incredible lighting somehow make the whole place feel both grand and peaceful. It's the kind of space where you immediately want to cancel your plans and spend the entire afternoon reading, working, or simply existing. Every direction you look feels thoughtfully designed. One thing I couldn't find online beforehand was whether there would be places to plug in my laptop. Thankfully, there are plenty of outlets, making it a fantastic place to work. Even better, despite its size, the atmosphere stays calm and quiet. It never felt loud or chaotic. The drinks were excellent. I tried the Lime Creamsicle Iced Matcha and later ordered a hot matcha, complete with a beautiful heart poured into the milk. I especially appreciated that they use what tasted like genuine, high-quality matcha rather than the overly sweet, filler-heavy mixes that so many coffee shops rely on. You can absolutely taste the difference. I also picked up two pastries: an artichoke and cheese croissant (I think it was Gouda?) and the coffee cake. Both were delicious, but that coffee cake deserves its own paragraph. It was huge, incredibly moist and rich, and served in a large paper liner almost like an oversized cupcake. I'd happily go back just for that. If I had one wish, it would simply be for the menu to match the creativity of the space. The coffee, tea, and espresso selections felt a bit limited considering how unique everything else is. This seems like the perfect place to experiment with fun specialty drinks and elevated touches. Imagine pink peppercorn on a cortado, mint dust on a cappuccino, unique flavored cold foams, rotating seasonal teas, or other creative finishes. The environment practically begs for a menu that's just as imaginative. The staff interaction was fine but didn't really stand out. When I asked whether they recommended the Lime Creamsicle Matcha, the response was basically, "I mean... it tastes like a lime creamsicle." It wasn't unfriendly, just not especially engaging. The prices are definitely on the higher end, but between the stunning atmosphere, quality ingredients, and excellent pastries, I'd happily return. Backstory isn't just somewhere to grab coffee. It's somewhere you want to linger. If you're looking for one of the most beautiful, calming coffee shops in Minneapolis, this belongs at the top of your list.

The ambiance is amazing. Beautiful interior and could easily spend hours here reading or doing…read morework. I had their seasonal cold brew and thought that it was very smooth, great coffee taste, no bitterness. I really enjoyed this shop highly recommend

I had a hard time selecting a place to sit since I wanted to sit in many of the places. The staff was amazing! I ordered a cortado for here, and it was perfect and gorgeous. I ended up spilling it all over the floor (totally my fault). I went up to order a new one (planning to pay because again..my fault!) and the staff refused to let me pay and even brought me my new drink to the table I was at. Talk about customer service! It was my fault I spilled it and they would not let me help clean it up or buy a new one. Consider me a fan of this place!

It gets an incredible amount of natural light, which makes it a pleasant place to spend some time. I also loved that it's dog friendly. The seating, however, is a bit of a mixed bag. There's a decent amount of it, but it's not really comfortable and it feels like there's plenty of room to add more seating throughout the space. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made for a great first impression. The menu is a little limited, but what I had was excellent. I ordered the light roast coffee and it was super good. I was also happy to see they carry Cardigan Donuts. If you have not had one before, they are absolutely worth trying! The biggest drawback for me was the WiFi. It was so unreliable that it made getting work done almost impossible, which is a pretty significant downside for a coffee shop. Overall, I enjoyed the coffee, the atmosphere, and the friendly staff, but the limited menu, somewhat uncomfortable seating, and especially the poor WiFi kept this from becoming one of my go to coffee shops.

The interior of the space is small, and fills up quickly most days, especially weekends! Staff have the conveyor belt moving and you can expect quick and efficient service! Definitely not as aesthetic of a spot as other Twin Cities coffeeshops and bakeries, but you probably aren't headed there for the decor. What the space lacks in visual appeal, it more than makes up on in taste! The Cinnamon Bun is extra large, perfectly baked with crispy exterior and chewy inside, smothered in the best frosting you've ever had! Pair it with your favorite coffee order and your morning just got a million times better! Don't hesitate to venture into their other offerings as well...the caramel roll is top notch! This spot should be on anyone's MUST VISIT list when coming to the Twin Cities! Walk around nearby Lake of the Isles after for the perfect day!

Parking available in the shared business lot out front, but it was VERY busy on this Sunday afternoon! The interior of this spot is one for the senses: colorful walls, random knick knacks, plants, and plenty of coffee-sipping patrons. While it was a LOT of stimulation, I loved every bit of it. I was so happy to see so much support for this local spot! The servers were so friendly and helpful during my order and pick up process! Incredibly LGBTQ+ friendly. I HAD to go with the Go Bananas option on my iced latte, their proprietary blend of banana, vanilla, and hazelnut that leaves you with the most beautiful flavor! I also appreciated that they have a layered iced latte option...with the shot on top! This spot definitely is one of my favorite hidden gems from the last few years, and might crack into the top five coffee spots in the Cities for me! A MUST VISIT!
