Sunbean is a bright spot in a nice neighborhood. I can see coming here on the darkest gloomy chilly days to this brightly lit, warm inviting shop. This shop invites us in just by the ambiance inside and out. The brewed medium roast is Columbian with hints of citrus according to the barista. The shop is compact and they make wise use of the space but have limited seating, we'll call it cozy. There is a menu and some grab to munch pastries, banana bread Thursdays I've been told. Plenty of signs reminded us they are open on Sundays. read more

SunBean Coffee has a lot to offer when it comes to variety. I've been on a bit of a matcha kick lately, so when I saw they had a Matcha Passionfruit drink, I had to try it. Refreshing and unique! I also couldn't pass up their special--a Churro Cold Brew--which was just as delicious as it sounds. While I was at the counter, I noticed they had a Pop-Tart style pastry from a local baker, so I gave that a whirl too. It was super tasty and a nice touch to see them supporting other small businesses. Overall, everything I tried was really flavorful and enjoyable. That said, it's definitely on the pricier side. The staff was very friendly and easy to chat with, which added to the positive experience. Next time, I'll probably limit myself to just one or two items, but I'll definitely be back when I'm in the mood to treat myself. read more

This is another favorite coffee shop of mine in South Minneapolis! They have their signature drinks they offer but also have a couple monthly drinks the add in to the mix. They have some great food as well. Have had the eggs bites and they were delicious! The baristas are always so welcoming here! The atmosphere is great in here too, I've worked here a couple of times remotely. read more

The Americano I ordered was 5.25 and it went up to 6.85. For an Americano ??! In a small little neighborhood coffee shop ?? There rent can't be that high. Very expensive. And very we hate ice oriented. So if that's your thing get in there and you can afford the prices read more

I love SunBean! It's a smaller coffee shop but the vibes are so inviting! As soon as you walk in you are welcomed and everyone seems so nice and happy to be there. The menu isn't super big but they have monthly specials as well as a ton of syrup options so you can essentially customize your drink however you want. They also have pastries. I ordered one of the March Monthly specials - Tiramisu Brew and it was really good. My mom got a medium roast coffee and she said that was good as well. It's in a pretty quiet neighborhood. We can always find a spot on the street out front which is convenient. read more

This place is awesome!! I was a little thrown off by the reviews saying that the prices were too high. They must be from the suburbs, because for twin cities coffee shop prices - at least in my experience - these prices are, if anything, on the lower end of the spectrum. $3 drip coffee? Oh, ya baby. Got a yummy pastry with an oat milk latte and sat on the back patio. The whole place was cute and I love that they have a featured artist. Barista was cool. Had fun. Recommend. read more

SunBean Coffee - oat milk latte, cream cheese danish, drip coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Let me start by saying...the staff here every time I've been is BEYOND 5 stars: so friendly, so lively, so helpful. I can't say that about many coffee shops or businesses in general so...thank you! My iced vanilla oat latte was okay, nothing that blew me away given the price and my husband felt the same about his specialty cold brew item. Honestly pretty pricey, so I wanted to LOVE my drink for the prices we paid. The pop tart was a delicious treat to get but I wouldn't have gotten it had I know the price in advance, haha! Definitely a nice local spot to check out but considering it's 20 min from where I live, I won't be a regular. read more

Very friendly. On the smaller side but dog friendly. On the sweeter side for drinks!!

Calling all coffee lovers! Come soak up some sun on Sunbean's beautiful back patio, or catch some artificial rays with Light Therapy at their signature SunBar SunBean is a Black-owned business on a mission to "spread sunshine, community, and positivity through exceptional coffee and a welcoming atmosphere," and the owner, Fred, certainly delivers on that mission! He was great to chat with and certainly fosters a warm sense of community inside his shop. This is truly a place where all are welcome, even if you're a caffeine novice. Keep an eye on their social media for fun monthly specials and info about upcoming community events. I got a blueberry passionfruit pop tart (made by another stellar local company, Fruit & Grain) and Fred's Favorite - an oatmilk miel latte with a dash of cinnamon. Great coffee, highly recommend! Parking was easy with lots of a street parking in front of the coffee shop, seems like a nice quiet neighborhood in the Nokomis area of Minneapolis. read more

I think SunBean Coffee might just be my new favorite, local coffee shop! Their drinks are fantastic and staff are warm and welcoming. Last time I was here, I tried their drink of the month: Iced Cereal Milk Latte. It was delicious and nostalgic, too, with the lucky charms marshmallows on top. My wife got the drink that put them on the map--salted caramel bourbon cold brew. She loved it. On top of the great drinks and service, the homemade poptarts (sourced from another business, I believe) were top notch. read more

I kind of love this place a lot. It's an utterly charming little urban coffee shop with great drinks and food. Full disclosure: my first visit happened because of a free drink offered to Yelp Elites, but I keep coming back because the idea of stopping in for a coffee and a snack keeps winning me over. I've gotten their mochas and I've been getting their monthly drink specials which are delicious every time. They also have these unique pastries which I think they call "Gourmet Pop Tarts" that are awesome. What I've specifically been doing is stopping here at lunchtime for a coffee, grabbing one of those pastries to eat later, and having it on my desk where my officemates invariably admire it and are jealous of me for having it. You should come here if you want that experience. Beyond that, this is a totally pleasant place to linger, with its cute decor, a bit of patio seating, and service that is as neighborly and upbeat as anyone could want. A couple more notes about their offerings... I like hot coffee drinks and it seems like they are excited about what they do with cold ones, but I'm not an expert in that, but I bet the cold coffee drinks they make are awesome. Also I had a delicious breakfast burrito last time, very plump and filling. read more

What a cozy place! They even have " sad light " that will help you with seasonal affective disorder. Helping you be happier! I had Fred's fave. Oatmilk latte with cinnamon. I love it. I don't even care for oat milk more of a soymilk gal. It has very balance flavors. Perfect amount of slight sweetness. This is now also my fave. (Thanks Sunbean) The staffs are friendly and very welcoming and they told me some fun facts: Breakfast sandwiches made by next door bar - Bull's Horn! (Another great place to visit) Fresh never frozenI had the mangorita poptart while I was there. It has FRESH mango inside. Soooo good. Crispy pie not too sweet which is good. The pop tarts and savory hand pies are made by Emily at Fruit and Grain! She is also at some farmer's markets but doesn't have a brick and mortar store. read more

This place has so many fantastic reviews, I hope I just got them on an off day. I ordered a seasonal latte that tasted like nothing more than a burnt coffee. I want to support local places but I can't justify spending $7+ on an 8oz drink that isn't good. The other reviews mention how amazing the staff is, that wasn't my experience. Everyone has a bad day, just won't be returning to see if that's the case. read more

Another hidden gem. I visited here for a Yelp event and now have added them to my list. Love the vibes just walking in with music playing in the background, plants everywhere, and just sunlight beaming throughout the cafe. They have outdoor seating outside and there's also street parking out front. I ordered the special coffee and one of their everything bagel pastries and I loved both! read more

Cozy little place with street parking out front. They have tons of fun toppings and syrups to make your own concoction. I asked for marshmallow fluff and sea salt on my vanilla Oatmilk latte and the barista worked with it and made me this incredible marshmallow sea salt cold foam. It's fun to go to a place where you can be creative :) read more

This is a great little spot kind of tucked away from the beaten path. It good mix of seating options for working. I especially appreciated the light therapy lamps. For a coffee snob like me the coffee was decent. Nothing to write home about which I why I don't give it 5 stars but still a great spot worth a visit. read more

I stopped in this morning for a breakfast sandwich. There were a few people in front of me, but it felt like it was my turn to order in no time! I asked the barista what kinds of sandwiches they had? Only one; turkey sausage, egg and cheese. Skeptically I asked: how is turkey sausage?! She said she was skeptical at first too but really likes it. Trusting her judgement, I ordered it. She didn't steer me wrong, It was in fact delicious! I love how bright & welcoming the digs are. Definitely somewhere I can see myself having lunch w a friend. Thanks SunBean for the delicious breakfast...that was easy to eat on my commute and wasn't even a little messy. Thanks for the friendly and fast service! Looking forward to breakfasting here again soon. read more

Sunbean coffee is a beautiful, bright and cheery coffee shop in South Minneapolis. I just love the vibe there and the young lady behind the counter was excellent. I ordered the Lovers Latte -a coffee with passionfruit flavoring. it was really good. I also tried the breakfast burrito, which was made with chorizo and the homemade mango pop tart, which I enjoyed. Definitely would recommend! read more

This new local spot is awesome! Fred, the owner, was working behind the counter when I came in and was so pleasant and fun to chat with! I love seeing the mind behind the business working and serving customers and getting to know him as well! The honey oatmilk latte was delicious! I had them make it the "OG" way, and it didn't disappoint strong coffee flavor, sweet without being too sweet. Perfect on a sunny summer day! I also decided to grab some pastries to try as well! I got the peaches and cream and passion fruit blueberry poptarts and they were delicious as well! I don't think they're made in house but still highly recommend! The overall feel of this place was bright, welcoming and chill at the same time. I was surprised how bright it was when I walked in but it gave me an overwhelming sense of fun and friendliness when I was inside. If you're looking to check out a small, new local coffee shop, start here and support the owners dream becoming a reality! read more

Great addition to the neighborhood! Located just 9 minutes from Lake Nokomis, this coffee shop brings all the sunshine from the peppy baristas, pastries, sun lamps, extremely clean interior and outside patio. Easy free street parking aided in making my visit seamless and I can't help but think what a wonderful addition the sun lamps will be in the winter months. While I did arrive around 10:45 am on a Saturday, the rumor inside was that busy hours are very early in the morning which may be something to take note of considering the inside is quite tiny. Regardless, we had the entire patio to ourselves (4 Adirondack chairs) and enjoyed the good weather, exterior mural, flowers, coffee, and conversation. The baristas helped us select a recommended drink that was something to the extent of a sugar free vanilla latte with homemade cold foam. I also learned that the owner's daughter painted the mural in the back of the shop. Be sure to check it out! I look forward to my next visit. Thank you, SunBean Coffee! read more

What a wonderful location! Sunbeam really beams with customer service, professionalism & warmth. I'm sure the caffeine beams as well! The atmosphere is inviting. Crisp white walls with tasteful decor. From the front door and out the back, you're hit with warm and friendly color that continues with the "sunbeaming vibe." I tried Fred's Oat Milk Honey Latte, The Dirty Nana & the breakfast sandwich. The Dirty Nana was delicious and my new guilty and caffeinated pleasure. The service was top tier. Thank you Sunbeam, for such wonderful service. I'll be back! read more

So nice I had to come back again! Discovered this little spot during a local event and now it's my go to any time I am in the Nokomis area! I love coming here after a walk around the lake and grabbing an Iced Oatmilk Honey drink to cool off. I'm also looking forward to coming here once the weather starts to turn to enjoy a hot beverage and walk around the park. The spot is small but boasts a bunch of personality and delicious coffee. It's locally owned business, so definitely can feel good supporting the local economy when you're here. They're always so sweet whenever we come in, and that's what makes me always want to come back. Highly recommend! read more

Such a cute coffee shop with fun drinks! I got the honey oat milk latte, which I loved. My husband got one of the specialty cold brews which was a lil milky for his typical tastes but was still delicious. They also offer pastries from a local baker. I absolutely love the vibes and how friendly the staff were, even though they were busy. It's a little small inside, but they also have a little patio in the back and a few tables along with window/wall seating (the wall seats have sun therapy lamps available). I'm so glad I checked them out and will be back! read more

Great coffee, good food, and even better vibes. The owner was extremely friendly and has created a really nice atmosphere to study or chill in! Not to mention, the homemade pop tarts were delish! read more

Stopped here for coffee on the way to the lake. People were lined up out the door. It is a small place, so the entrance and counter area got congested quickly. Their drip was good and cheap compared to other places ($3 for a small). I paid with a card and the system was set up so you had to leave a tip. So pay with cash if you don't plan to leave a tip. The whole mandatory tip thing was off putting so I don't t plan to return and don't recommend. read more

Wonderful pastry and beverage options. A must try for uniqueness and quality. Small shop and good for solo visit or with a friend.

This is THE friendliest, most welcoming b coffee shop in the Twin Cities. The coffee, from a local roaster, is top-notch. Hoping for a couple of tables on the sidewalk this summer; that would be grand. Next time I go for a coffee - probably in a week with a friend who's my coffee buddy and may make this our weekly landing place - I'm going to get a bag of ! read more
