    Inside ambiance is okay, nothing fancy
    Lauren H.

    I love Starbucks, but this one is not my favorite location. Great spot for mobile order pickups, but I would not stay to hang out. It's a super convenient spot, located on the first level next to the main rotunda at Mall of America and is always busy. Service is just ok. They were not that friendly when they took our order today. Five minutes after we received our drinks, I mentioned that they forgot to give us a cake pop. The barista gave us a cake pop quickly but did not apologize for forgetting it in the first place. Ambiance is just standard for what you expect at a Starbucks, nothing fancy here. Of course, the drinks and snacks taste exactly like they do at all other Starbucks - that seems to be their superpower. I tried to work from this location. WiFi is so glitchy, it kept dropping my connection, making it impossible to work without tethering to my mobile phone instead of Starbucks WiFi or Mall of America WiFi. I would only come back for mobile order pickup while I'm at the mall.

    The store opens sharp at 7:30 am and I can tell you by experience that a line starts forming even before that . This one is really popular apparently or its perhaps the first coffee shops to open in the mall .We went three days in a row and the quality of food and beverage every single day was perfect . The staff is friendly and fast . The wait times are not too long either.

    Now this Starbucks was inside Mall of America in Minnesota. The guy at the counter was super friendly and smiled and did indeed ask if I wanted a bag and actually put the cup in the bag for me! Of course the coffee and scones are always delicious! It was a bigger Starbucks so plenty of seating area which is really nice!

    You can't drive this store out of the mall no matter how much you want to. And who would Steerbucks? Located at the Mall of America is this busy Starbucks location which was neither the friendliest nor had the best tasting drinks - and I'm not sure why because the Mall of America in general is high-quality and very friendly. But that's just in general.

    This was my first time having Starbucks. The staff was a little ehhh on communication but they were busy and seems really stressed out. Totally get it, I've been there with a job. Other then that I was very impressed with my yummy drink.

    Very friendly and helpful service, every time! This location at the back of Barnes and Noble in MOA is always convenient and usually not too long a wait, which is nice. No matter where I go, whether the location or other coffee shops I'm named "David", which I don't mind too much, just makes me chuckle. Coffee is always made well and tastes good. Never had a coffee made wrong, so that's a nice bonus!

    This location is usually very busy and this results in very limited interaction with the staff. Hard to find a spot to sit, and not a great location to sit and chat. The drinks are made well and come out in a timely manner, although I do recommend ordering online and skip the line altogether.

    See all

    It was a shame that I did not have mobile order capabilities so that I could get in and out faster in the line before I had to leave.

There is some street parking as well as some paid ramps. I came in on a Saturday morning around 10AM. By then, it was busy, but I was able to still find a seat. The staff were kind and I think as pleased with the number of drink options as well as pastries - gluten free, too! I enjoyed a seasonal lemon bar latte (yum!) and a gluten free banana chocolate chip muffin. I will likely be back. The coffee is great, the parking situation is just a bit weird.

I used to live in the area and when the small coffee shop opened I was so exited to have that in our community and was happy to support them - even if some coffee beverages were top dollar. I was in the area today, and decided to stop in since I no longer live in the area and wanted to enjoy a good brew. Unfortunately, the experience I had left me leaving with a bitter taste in my mouth - and it wasn't from the coffee. I thought it goes without saying, but when a customer greets you, you should greet them back, not just stare. It would be even better if your staff would greet each customer first - make them feel welcome. Maybe I'm a millennial channeling boomer energy, but for years I'm noticing the customer service disappearing from a lot of businesses. I love that connection, but I'm understanding that some people see only a paycheck and skid by with minimal customer service and that is the new way. I don't plan to visit this establishment again. I wish the barista with star tattoos would have put in enough customer service energy that she did with her impeccable makeup.

First things first--the vibe is chef's kiss if you're into cozy, low-key, intentional spaces. It's quaint without trying too hard, and it doesn't have that loud, chaotic coffee shop energy. I was actually able to focus, which says a lot. Now what really sets this place apart? It's tucked inside Zawadi Center, and that matters. This isn't just a grab-your-drink-and-go type of café. You're surrounded by culture, community, and a space that feels like it means something. Between the event space, the restaurant, and the overall energy, it feels layered... like you accidentally found a hidden gem that locals want to keep to themselves. The refresher? Solid. Did what it needed to do. No complaints there. If I had to give a little Yelp Elite honesty: seating can be a bit limited depending on timing, and if you're someone who needs complete silence, this might not be your spot when it gets busier. It's more "focused but alive" than "library quiet." Overall, this is the kind of place you come to reset, get a little inspired, and maybe romanticize your life for a couple hours. Will I be back? Absolutely.

Being at Mall of America, you are never terribly far from a Caribou Coffee. There are six of them. The problem? Trying to figure out which one to check in to on the Yelp app is super confusing. My second check-in attempt was correct. Yay! This cafe is steps away from Radisson Blu Hotel, which is connected to the mall. I would find it both cool and deadly to roll out of bed in the morning and head over to this Caribou Coffee. It's also next to J. Jill, by Nickelodeon Universe. If you spot any one of these three places, you're near this cafe. The downside of this cafe is that it closes at 3 pm on weekdays and 4 pm on weekends. Considering that the stores at this mall tend to stay open between 7 and 9 pm, cutting it short so early is a concern. There was a lineup when I got to this cafe. I stood in line. It did move relatively quickly. I got a friendly woman at the counter. She took down my phone number associated with my perks points. I then ordered a large sparkling peach black tea. I paid with a credit card. I also tipped. Done! As I waited for my drink, I browsed around. I liked the drinkware and mugs at this store. There were plenty of snacks that looked yummy and intriguing. My drink didn't take long to be prepared. I thanked the woman when I got my drink in a Christmas-themed cup and looked for a place to sit. I oddly didn't feel cozy sitting on padded stools without any back support. Instead, there were comfy couch chairs in front of this store, so I sat there and enjoyed my drink. I loved my drink. It was perfect and fizzy. I actually sat in this cozy chair for an hour, casually sipping on my drink and figuring out which stores to shop at next. My experience was positive at this cafe. I'd return whenever I'm on the second floor and in this part of the mall. (469)
