Wow! Restaurant Alma(not the cafe)…read moreCan't believe it's taken me years to visit here, I had an amazing 3 course dinner here with the wine pairings All the dishes were fantastic and my friend and I shared all of our dishes so we could experience most of the menu The service here was truly excellent from coat check to our server Miles who was super friendly and knowledgeable Everyone we encountered was so passionate about the food it made me feel good especially as the quality was so high! There wasn't anything I didn't like except dessert was not included in our meal so for extra $ we did split one and was delicious They did send me home with some mini coconut macaroons which was a nice touch Ambiance - was lovely sitting at the counter, restaurant was full but not crazy loud for a Saturday night! The menu changes seasonally so I'll be back in the fall to try that Parking- free street parking If your looking for a high quality tasting menu book here

Alma is such a great coffee and brunch spot!! They make their own syrups which is one of the main…read morethings I look for when I'm going to get a coffee (no monin syrups in here!) They also have really good matcha. I tried their biscuits and gravy brunch special and it was really savory, flavorful and a good ratio of biscuits, meat and gravy. For only $12 I thought it was a great deal! There's plenty of seating inside and I love the decor. Everyone working there has always been friendly and kind. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area!

I have tried many coffee shops in NE and Five Watt is consistently my favorite coffee. I love their…read morebutterscotch latte and the vanilla latte. It gets pretty loud inside and there isn't a ton of natural light so it's not the best place to study, but they do have plenty of seating and space if you don't mind studying in that environment. It's a great place to hang out and catch up with friends. They have outdoor seating in the summer too. The coffee is pricey compared to other shops in the area, but it is so good I keep going back. Even just a cup of plain hot coffee is almost $5. The workers have always been friendly and the coffee comes out quick. Despite the price and atmosphere, it gets a 5 from me solely for the amazing coffee!

Stopped by the Five Watt Coffee E Hennepin location in Northeast Minneapolis, and it did not…read moredisappoint. The vibe here is great--funky, old decor with an industrial-meets-cozy feel, and the music selection is always a hit (not too loud, just vibey). It's a fantastic spot for working or just chilling. I ordered the cortado, and it was exceptional. The baristas definitely have latte art skills, and my drink was prepared beautifully and with care.The staff are super kind, which really adds to the experience. Parking is also a breeze with the adjacent free surface lot which is a plus in Minneapolis. If you're looking for a top-tier espresso drink in a great atmosphere, Five Watt is a must-visit.

I asked the person working for a recommendation, since I usually like just about everything. There was a basil espresso tonic on the summer special menu that they recommended. I wasn't sure about it, but figured, hey, I asked, I'll go for it. It did have the tonic bitterness, but was so nicely balanced with the flavor. I actually really enjoyed it. If I find myself needing to be on campus again, I will definitely stop by 7 Corners for a morning pick-me-up!

I didn't get a chance to try one of their pastries but they sure looked good. Coffee was hot, smooth and delicious! I tried the seasonal Toasted Snow.

This rating is for a 3.6. I wanted to grab a latte after lunch and stopped by this place. I liked…read morethe interior athletics with all the wood finishing and greenery that they decorated inside. It was nice and cozy with plenty of seating. I ordered a 16 oz regular latte for $7.25. Yup, a regular latte at 16 oz. I didn't feel that the shots of espresso stood out. It tasted pretty standard to me. I also got a jasmine tea lemonade which was pretty refreshing. They had other seasonal drinks available but I like to order a simple drink to assess the quality of their beans. The service was regular.

What great coffee and snacks! Love the patio and all the flowers. Inside is cool and comfortable…read more Fast service a fresh coffee and treats. Come early as they do run out. A bit pricey but you get value. Easy to get to and adequate parking in the lot and St. Try the Mariachi iced coffee. Spicy and rich! Mmmmm

Lots of seating, the main area is super cute with ambient lighting & then there's an additional seating area (where I was sitting in my pic) that's really bright! I always love looking at coffee shop match too & they had some cute options! Overall, good coffee, kind staff & cute shop!

Location: Eat Street Crossing (Nicollet -- Minneapolis)…read more I couldn't find the Yelp page to the one located in Eat Street Crossing off Nicollet. I just want to give a shout out to the employee that was working on a weekday mid-afternoon for his professionalism and approachable-ness. When I went to the location at Mall of America, it didn't seem like they have alternative milk. The employees at the MOA where to themselves. I'm lactose intolerant. This guy at Eat Street Crossing asked if I had any questions, which I ask if the drinks can be made with almond or soymilk, he said yes and just to let him know which drink. I ordered the tiger creme brulee drink and it was delicious. He did let me know there was some dairy, which I can tolerate, but that experience made a difference, because I'd probably walk away if he didn't check in.

I personally didn't try their matcha but they offer various kinds. I got pistachios latte, which is a little too sweeet to my liking. But, overall, it was good.

Hard Times is a very expensive vegan/vegetarian restaurant in the Cedar Riverside portion of…read moreMinneapolis. They make some delicious vegan food (both super healthy dishes like hummus and veggies & rice, as well as some more indulgent dishes like biscuits and gravy). Their vegan pastries and deserts are TO DIE FOR, especially the peanut butter cups. The inside is very "80's coffee house" vibes. They have board games to play and there are even events from time to time. My one issue is that the bathrooms need a little bit of TLC. Otherwise, this place is great.

Service was quick and they were attentive to my stated allergies which is so important…read more They have a nice selection of vegan desserts. I purchased the chocolate chip cookie and a lemon scone. Breakfast treats for my 3 day stay. Please note cash only They have a combination of self service to the meal process. And you pick up your plates once done with your meal. My fajitas wonderful , the flavor profile had just the right balance of spice but the spicy crème made all the difference and I ordered a sandwich for my breakfast it looks amazing. I ordered the Vegan Bahn Mi it is so freaking good, I wish I had time to stop in again.
