You wouldn't expect Wesley Andrews to be nestled in one of Minneapolis' sketchier neighborhoods, especially with its calm interior and tasty drinks. Service is somewhat standoff-ish but not in an actively rude way; it just seemed like the person helping me was tired. Regardless, he was helpful with providing recommendations on his favorite pastries and drinks. The highlights from what I ordered were the kouign amann (pleasantly sweet and the perfect amount of flaky) and the matcha thai tea which was a balanced and fragrant concoction. There was also a savory pastry that was good but I don't remember the name of. The only item I wasn't impressed with was the ube latte which didn't quite taste like ube. I understand the appeal of Wesley Andrews, especially if you order the right things and sit down with friends at a table. They even have free board games that you can play. Definitely worth a try.
Stopped by on our biking around town. Minus a star for not having a bike park/spot and ran out of matcha in the early a.m. other than that, this is a good place to havve a morning coffee/tea break on the weekend. Had ube latte, cold vanilla latte pair with bogarts donuts and Marc heu's chocolate pistachio croissant (available on the weekends only).
Stopped into Wesley Andrews on our way to art in bloom at MIA and loved our drinks! I got a mocha and it was delicious. The drink was on the smaller side but it packed a punch. The space itself was super cute and nicely decorated with some dedicated seating space to sit and talk or work.
Free and fully available street parking in front? Yes please. Rarely have I ever been to a coffee shop where the staff actually adjusted the music style, etc. based on the customers in the shop. Initially, there were folks conversing and then it drilled down to the book readers and studiers. Music was adjusted accordingly, 5 stars alone for that. Staff was amazing and attentive. I felt spoiled rotten with the ube latte ($6 alone $7 with espresso in it) and I wanted a 2nd cup, but had to exhibit self control on the calories and the cash. Didn't think I'd ever call cracks in the wall and cacti charming but they were. Will be back very soon.
I stopped in to grab a coffee and try out this place. It was my first time in and the barista was very nice and everything was tidy and clean. I took a look at the featured drinks and nothing particularly caught my eye so I decided to opt for my go-to: an iced vanilla latte. Unfortunately I really didn't enjoy the coffee at all. I'm not sure if it was a bad espresso shot or what was wrong, but it didn't taste anything like a good coffee. I'm not sure I'd recommend spending $8 with tip on this. I did finish the drink but I considered throwing it out because of the poor taste. The space was lovely and there was lots of nearby free street parking.
Shown below is a $6 cup of coffee, a ridiculous price, on which I chose to plop down a $3 tip. Why? Am I independently wealthy? Nope. It's simply that Wesley Andrew's pour over coffee is THE BEST. For my $9, I have purchased the top of the market. If coffee from an American multinational chain of coffeehouses goes for, say, $3, I would argue this Wesley Andrew's brew is three times as good. Took about 4 minutes to serve me, as the barista slowly drizzled 205 degree water over perfectly roasted beans from China. So tasty it would be a bargain at twice the price, which I would never say about the multinational's attempt at coffee. At the risk of hyperbole, I would ask for this when offered my last meal. Drink it and ease into eternal rest. If you enjoy good coffee and don't mind paying the price, you need to be here.
This is a very hygge style cafe with the place really modern, simple and calm. Parking is in the streets near Eat Street area. I ordered their ube latte which was interesting on their menu. If you expect it to be a sweet Starbucks like treat, this latte has only slight sweetness and a more natural nutty and root tasting flavor. It also has a tinge of bitterness as after taste. It definitely is an acquired tasting latte. I appreciate the beautiful latte art. I also noticed that they actually sell and serve coffee roasted from China! That is unusual because tea is served there but to find coffee beans roasted up in the hills of China is pretty unique. So when I was there, the co-owner came in to meet one of his vendor and I got to hear the whole scoop about their journey as a small business owner. They specialize in tea as well in this cafe. I hear true passion in his voice for the world to experience his roasting and presentation of both coffee and tea in MN. He stumbled upon the coffee beans when his initial trips to China was to shop for tea leaves. I tried the drip coffee as I was super curious. It was very nice and clean tasting with a strong dark chocolate aftertaste. Last but not least, check in here with your Yelp app and get 20% off your drink! Love it!!
Is this British? It feels very British in here. The aesthetic, the vibe, it's all very London. "Let's have a cuppa at Wesley, dear!" I had an ube latte, which was decent and not too sweet. My lady got a matcha latte that she said wasn't hot enough. The space feels minimalist and clean. The woman at the counter seemed sleepy, although not British.
First time here! Parking was free street parking. I tried the cider and it was very yummy. There is not a ton of seating options to do work/homework. But there are a few options. They also do not have free WiFi. There are also not many outlets and the space was just not very clean in general.
#21 in my TWIN CITIES COFFEE SHOP SERIES Come here for aesthetic, great quality drinks and a good place to get work done! I love the ambiance of this place! Great playlists, not too loud and not too quiet, great lighting, wonderful service, and cute vibes. I got the imfamous Matcha Thai Tea Latte ($6.75) which was delicious! Traditional thai tea that was not super sweetened which really brought of the tea and spiced flavor. Plus the matcha was just as high quality. The drink did taste a bit watered down though. They also have a good selection of traditional coffee drinks (homemade cold brew, etc.) and a lot of high quality tea to choose from! They recently just increased their prices in order to coincide with the rising cost of living which is great for them and their employees! However, paying $7.50 in total for an iced matcha or my friend paying $8.50 in total for an iced vanilla latte is pretty steep.
I don't know how I've lived in Minneapolis so long without finding Wesley Andrews. This place has all the components we love about a coffeeshop, and I'm sure I was vibing even more since it was a rainy spring morning! The location itself doesn't have a ton of nearby parking, so prepare to walk a bit, but it's worth it. You're welcomed into the space with tons of plants, an open concept, and exposed brick (my personal favorite aesthetic). Service was only alright in my opinion...the barista was fairly slow and seemed like he was more interested in other coworkers sitting at the bar than making my drink. I ordered the Earl Sweatshirt latte, a seasonal special. The flavors were VERY subtle, and the drink itself felt more like a really yummy, sweet latte than anything with further identity such as the promised Earl Gray or Pistachio. When I come back, I'll probably adventure into their Matcha selection. Overall, a really solid spot to work remotely or catch-up with a friend. Small improvements would warrant a 5 star review in the future, as all the components are there!
Perfect atmosphere to enjoy a decadent coffee or catch up with a friend. They also have work space to do a little work if that's what you need to do. The drinks are absolutely gorgeous! The service was friendly and welcoming.
I'm a simple person, so it should never be a surprise when I opt out of a "foo foo" coffee drink and go for a latte. I also consider myself a coffee connoisseur of sorts, so I like that without added sweetness and flavoring, a latte allows me to appreciate the quality of the coffee. The latte I had at Wesley Andrews was lovely. I felt at complete peace when sipping on the high quality coffee drink while catching up with a friend. The space is modern, without feeling too sterile-- a balance that can be hard to find in a lot of these establishments. The service was warm and friendly as well, which only added to how much I enjoyed my time in the coffee shop.

Absolutely loved the vibe here - it's so cute, peaceful, and relaxing. I tried their Kyoto blend coffee, which was a bit strong for me, but my friend loved it! They use really good-quality milk, so I can imagine their lattes and cappuccinos are amazing. My husband had a hot latte and said it was perfect. It's a nice, calm spot to study or chat, definitely on the quieter side which I loved. I'll be coming back for sure! read more
Loved stopping by this coffee shop! I got the matcha latte with soy milk and my friend got the matcha Thai tea which we both loved. There's lots of free parking in the area but there is construction on the Main Street. They also have a rewards program and after 10 visits you get a free drink which is fun! I will definitely be back to try some of their other fun drinks like the ube latte read more

I LOVE this place. Amazing vibes, great study spot, yummy drinks, and cutest merch. I got the iced matcha latte and my friend got the mulled cider. The matcha latte was light and delicious and was very close to matcha I have had in Japan. It wasn't anything like those fake powders you find in cheap drinks. The cup that the drink came in was super cute too. The mulled cider was such a great fall drink and was also delicious. The staff was very friendly and easy to talk to. They had amazing recommendations and knew what they were talking about. The merch for this place is amazing. The art, the style, I love it all. I wanted to buy everything. Overall, this is my new favorite cafe and will be my go to. read more

The aesthetic of Wesley Andrews is so relaxing! This is a great space to grab coffee and get some work done. Spacious seating is available and the coffee is exceptional. I ordered an iced vanilla latte with oat milk. My barista was very friendly and my drink came out great! You can taste the effort put into your order. I'd love to come back and sit for a bit, but for now I can't recommend this enough! read more

This is a great local coffeeshop with really good aesthetic, music, and vibes. I always like it when the baristas are very casual, having conversation amongst themselves and with other patrons in the shop. It makes it feel more homey and friendly even if I'm not even in the conversation and just doing work in a corner. My friend got their matcha thai tea which was really good and if they have it next time I would definitely get it. I honestly can't really pinpoint what it tastes like exactly and why it tastes so good - it did not taste like I expected in the best possible way. I also overheard that they're going to change out their seasonal drinks soon so excited to go back and see what they are. There is a good amount of street parking, although the shop is right at the corner of the intersection and so it is a little difficult to find a nice spot right near the shop. Also there are limited spots/number of tables although it wasn't overly crowded and you could definitely get a seat. A mix of people doing work/quiet activity versus having conversation, but a good level of background noise which is the environment I like to work in. I can definitely see this place becoming a regular in my rotation of work places. read more
The best coffee shop in the whole neighborhood! Beautifully decorated, there is a natural air about WA, I have sat here for hours and keep coming back. They really do have the best matcha latte. There is so much care into making it, that flavors elsewhere doesn't compare. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Recommending: Matcha Latte with Almond milk. read more

I can't say enough amazing things about Wesley Andrew's and the staff on the morning of 9/12. For starters I was visiting from out of town and scheduled an Uber to take me to the airport with enough time to stop by WA. Little did I know WA didn't open for another 10 minutes! But the staff was SO KIND and let me in early. I was incredibly grateful and already knew I was going to love the place. The vibe inside is warm and inviting. Big windows, lots of seating (indoor and outdoor), and a good place to work or grab just a coffee. There were plenty of drink options, with milk alternatives, so there's something for everyone. I ordered an iced latte (despite the semi chilly weather) and a bagel with cream cheese to go. The staff quickly prepared it for me as my Uber was going to be there any minute! Again - thank you guys!! Anyways- the coffee was delicious. Simple yet fantastic. A truly good latte prepared well (we can all agree they aren't always done well). The everything bagel was toasted to perfection and I enjoyed that as well! Next time I'm in town I'll be sure to stop by again and bring friends! This is truly a 5 star establishment! read more

To quote the good people at Food&Wine: "a small-batch roasting operation stripped down to the essentials, is an enthusiastic vote for simplicity, not to mention good customer service, and it feels like a winner." (https://www.foodandwine.com/coffee/best-coffee-america) It's in the Eat Street district and the hipster vibe is well done here. read more

My friend in Chicago actually recommended this place to me and it doesn't disappoint! I've been there a few times now and this time I wanted to try something completely different, and that's why I went with the gochujang mocha that's on their seasonal menu. I was taken aback initially from the weird spicy, milky, and sweet combination but I thought they really made it the best they could. I don't think I'd personally order it again but I did not regret trying it out. I actually liked it better than any Starbucks mocha I've ever had because WA doesn't put 5 shots of syrup in your drink. It's a great place for doing some work whenever - especially when they have a happy hour from 4-6pm that offers $2 drop coffee and $1 donuts in case you're looking to stay up late or have assignments to grind. Their designs are super cute and they have a fun merch selection - along with Gallant Tiger gourmet uncrusted sandwiches, which definitely caught our eye. I will be coming back for more of their fun seasonal offerings! read more
Love the vibe in this shop, I think the interior is stunning right as you walk inside! The service is great as well, I wanted to try their seasonal pear sage apple cider and it was delicious, it tasted like a herbal tea and apple cider combined, perfect amount of sweetness and I enjoyed the mint leaves in it. I will definitely be back to try more drinks from here! read more
Super cute coffee shop, we found it on a whim after a fashion show and love the vibe. The staff was very helpful and friendly as well! We tried some bakery items (almond croissant and a scone) as well as: an Iced ube w/espresso, the matcha thai tea and my usual iced mocha - all were great! We were able to find street parking, but I'm sure it's harder to park during the busy times. Would recommend for a quick coffee, meet up with friends or even for work/studies. read more

i've lived near Wesley Andrews for a couple years and finally had a chance to stop in. I have to say i'm glad i finally did. the honey latte is superb and the donut from Bogart's is... i mean was amazing because it's already gone. the interior is charming and very relaxing, i almost feel like i'm in Norway (where I've never been but i imagine this is probably what it would feel like to hang out in a Norwegian coffee shop). finally the barista was wonderful and the latte was a work of art. i will definitely return to Wesley Andrews again much sooner than it took me to visit the first time. read more
Great coffee shop near the museum! This shop crafts wonderful varied types of coffee. Not just knowing how to make your standard lattes, but a proper flat white too. This paired with a peaceful aesthetic, full of plants and a large window for a enjoyable street view. It's small, so watch out for others not respecting your covid space. But otherwise a beyond enjoyable spot to sip read or work. read more
I have been wanting to try this little spot for awhile now and got the chance last week to meet up a friend of mine for coffee. Take your time and find street parking. When you walk in you see a very modern and European feel to the spot. There is a big bar where you can sit and also order your coffee and treats. We arrived around 9:30am on a Friday morning and it was quiet. Plenty of space to sit and if you need a charge up very easy to find a spot to do so. I sat for a bit waiting for my friend and did not feel pressured to have to order right away which with having a newborn along with me, I appreciated the laid back atmosphere. I ended up ordering the ube latte with a shot of espresso and my friend ordered a latte with oat milk. We of course had to get some pastries. And ordered both a regular and a chocolate croissant. Ube is one of my favorite flavors and this latte did not disappoint! Really creamy and light, not too sweet, just the way I like it. My friend had a sip and she declared she will have to come back to get one. And I must say, oat milk is a life changer. It was a suggestion from the barista since they were out of almond milk and I don't think I will go back. It gives the latte a much more rich and nuttier flavor and we appreciated her suggestion. I literally bought oat milk on my grocery trip that day too. I believe the pastries come in from an outside bakery since they really focus on drinks, but the croissants were on point. Super flaky and complemented our drinks very well. Wesley Andrews also offers a variety of different coffees and teas you can try and it looks like in a tasting style presentation. I love their slogan: Conversations and Complements The idea of focusing on relationships, connecting with others makes the environment so inviting and we will definitely be back for more! read more
As soon as I stepped in to this cafe I was greeted with the welcoming staff. I instantly loved the retro rustic feel to the place. They were playing music on a record player and it was the perfect touch. I also loved how the place was quiet and peaceful. There were just a couple people working on their laptops, doing their own thing. Since it was my first time there I wasn't sure what type of coffee to get. The barista was very helpful with giving me recommendations. I'm a sweet coffee type of gal and he recommended the Lavender Latte. It was delicious! I loved that the latte foam at the top lasted all the way to the end of the last sip. The coffee was not too sweet and not too bitter - just right ! I could also taste the lavender in the coffee too. They have a small pastry case in front of the cafe too but it doesn't have a large selection. This place really shines with their coffee and tea and I'm okay with that. My only wish was that I could have tried the Ube latte that they are known for but I think it was out of season since I came in the Winter time. Next time! read more
