This is hands down the best cold brew in Minnesota. They do nitro really well, but the rotating…read moreseasonal cold brews are next level. The whipped honey cold brew is my absolute favorite. That big dollop of whipped honey on top is unreal. The space itself is great for getting work done. Lots of natural light, big open windows, and different seating options that makes it feel really inviting. It can get pretty busy during peak times, so finding a seat can be a little tricky but they have a shared table system where you can grab a card if you're open to sitting with others. It's such a fun, community-focused touch and a great way to meet people or just make space when it's crowded. The staff is super kind and welcoming, which makes it even better. They also do a great job with their seasonal drinks and pastries.

If you are looking for a great iced coffee, look no further!…read more This place is located in a bustling area of St. Paul! It's street parking but it is free. Walking in, there are lots of wood accents, stools, booths and PLENTY of plug ins if you want to come here and study/get work done! The service was disappointing to be honest. This place had the vibes to have such a fun crew working and instead we barely even got 2 words for the person who rang us up. The person who made our drinks also had zero interaction. Such a missed opportunity! This is why I removed a star. The coffee: This is one of my new favorite coffees I have ever had! I got an iced whipped honey latte and it was DELICIOUS! The coffee wasn't overly bitter, had good flavor and the whipped honey was definitely a unique treat! Overall, I really did enjoy my time at this coffee shop! It definitely can get busy but don't let that deter you from getting a delicious coffee from these guys! Oh and yes, they do have some snack/lunch/bakery items here to if you get hungry!!

I went with a simple vanilla iced oat milk latte and loved it. The beverage was wonderful.

The timing didn't work for me to try ice cream, so I opted for an iced latte. The coffee had a nice flavor. It looked like they had a freezer of homemade ice cream pints for purchase. I wish I would have asked to maybe take some ice cream home to eat later. I thought about getting a shake to go but there was a sign that said their shake machine was out of order. Liked the vibe. It was clearly a popular spot with folks driving up or walking to get a cool treat. Lots of families. Good stop.

I discovered J&S Bean Factory during the summer of 2025 when I was looking for some fresh beans for…read moremy home brewed coffee. J&S did not disappoint. They have a huge variety of beans, and they will grind them for you if you like. The shop is small, and it has that awesome coffee aroma inside and out, but their coffee is plenty expensive. Also, be warned that if you're the type of person who likes to enjoy their coffee without politics, you might be somewhat put off by the Liberal-forward vibe of this shop, what with some of the coffees being named after Liberal politicians, ie "Obama Blend" or as others have mentioned here a coffee named after Bernie Sanders. The staff at the shop were always polite enough to me, and I never experienced name calling as another reviewer did, but then I don't wear my politics on my sleeve or confront others about theirs. After all, I only went there to buy coffee, not change the world or anyone's philosophical, political, or religious views. Recently, (January 2026), I drove the 15 some-odd miles to their shop only to find they had closed that day to attend protests in a "No Work, No School, No Shopping" strike due to law enforcement activity in the cities. I enjoy supporting local small businesses, but the "Politics First, Customer Last" business model doesn't work for me. Besides, I feel like they must be doing pretty well financially if they can just close up shop unannounced without so much as a notification on their website or phone answering message to warn customers who might actually be driving a fair distance, burning real gasoline which costs real money, to buy their stuff. I liked their coffee, but it just isn't worth the expense or inconvenience to me anymore, so I go elsewhere.

There's also a bagel spot next door that was pretty swell, making this the perfect breakfast and coffee spot! I will add, there isn't much seating at either spot, so be ready to grab and go your items. This is great for a walk nearby, enjoy in your car, or take your goodies home! Regardless of that, these spots are so worth it, I will be going back soon!

Ooh, I typically am in agreement with most Yelp reviews, but my experience was lacking today…read more Service: Meh. Certainly not bad, but nothing really all that good, either. I didn't see any "warm fuzzies" toward me or any of the later customers. Coffee: I calorie-splurged on a Peanut Butter Mocha. Frankly, it was overly sweet and there was little evidence of peanut butter. Definitely not one of the better mochas I've tried. Danish: I was disappointed not to see any breakfast items on the menu, so I ordered a danish from the limited selection (at 8:30 am on a Monday) and hoped for the best. Just then, a screen flashed up a "bacon breakfast waffle" for $5, so I went with that instead. Breakfast Sandwich: Ooh, not good. First, very small, and sufficiently microwaved from freezing that one half of it was hard as a rock. Definitely not worth $5, let alone $2. Very disappointing. Environs: Sort of a mid-sized cafe with perhaps 10 small tables. I scored one near a power outlet, but I couldn't figure out which WiFi was the correct one, and all of them were password-protected. The staff were busy, so I just went with my phone hot spot. Bathrooms and the tables were clean. Hopefully, my experience is an anomaly, but I'm not going to make the effort to find out.
