Swung in based on the great reviews (thank you fellow yelpers) while I was in the neighborhood. So glad someone called out their amazing mission - they're a non profit dedicated to providing job stability for youth experiencing homelessness. Enjoyed my almond milk cappuccino with one of their homemade syrups - brown butter caramel - dangggg it was good. Staff was very friendly and environment was vibrant. Good space for groups. read more

What lovely coffee. All syrups are made in-house which is a huge deal and effort. This offers more value to be honest in the price you pay for a drink. It's priced similarly to all coffee shops in the area. The aesthetic is well done, rustic. Street parking is free outside with indoor and outdoor seating. Drinks were high quality and milk was properly frothed. read more

Coffee was decent, service was lovely! It's nice and quiet here and the music they have playing is pretty neutral, and not too loud. Definitely a place I would return to for studying. read more

Finally stopped into Wildflyer after it had been on my list for awhile. I love supporting socially conscious businesses and Wildflyer does it so well. It is so easy to support a local business uplifting and coaching those experiencing homelessness in our community. Ordered the Longfellow latte- a menu special! It was great. Service was quick. This was a great place to meet up with a friend and reconnect, lots of space and seating options. read more

This is one of my new favorite coffee shops in Minneapolis, I just wish I lived closer! Wildflyer has a bunch of great coffee drinks, almost all of which can be made vegan. I love their speciality lattes, as well as their regular coffee too. They have a ton of vegan food options too, and their avocado toast is both delicious and a great value. There's lots of seating, and it's a great place to get some work done. I also definitely appreciate their mission. All in all, a great place to stop for a coffee and a snack! read more

Epically amazing coffee AND closed down 1/23/26 in support of ICEoutofMN Go support them please!

As good as ever. (Sourcing Mogi Bagels a definite coup!) Keep up the good work! Staff training is also on point: baristas are superior! read more

Wildflyer Coffee - View from the back - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Accidentally came here thinking this was the place a friend told me about. It's not. My drink was OK but for $15 for 2 drinks...I *need* to love it. I ordered an iced Longfellow...it is 100% comparable to an iced miel anywhere else. My husband ordered the iced Highlander...he threw away the rest of his coffee so...that's his review "not worth the calories" Staff was super friendly to me, music was a bit loud and inconsistent throughout the hour we were there. I gave it 3 stars because on a busy Saturday, there were still a few open tables. I like to be able to sit down if I pay for a drink somewhere, so that checked some boxes at least! Again, I wanted to love it more than I did! read more

Great place with a mission. Great coffee. Spent a workday here and all went well. A little pricey, but money goes to a good cause (ending teenage homelessness) and the good cause of great coffee. read more

Got the Longfellow latte and a danish! So yummy! Baristas were kind and helpful. Great place to catch up with a friend!

I don't say this lightly, but this was the best coffee I've had in the Twin Cities. Possible out of anywhere. I tried the Longfellow latte and it was incredible-- very rich with a strong espresso and cinnamon flavor. I accidentally forgot to order it iced, but the hot version was definitely the way to go. We also got an Arnie Palmer that was pretty good! The inside was big with lots of different nooks and tables. It was quiet and perfect for working on a laptop. The wifi worked perfectly and there's even a few tables outside if you want fresh air. We went on a Tuesday morning and there was plenty of seating left. The staff were really nice and the mission of the shop is amazing like others have said. Everything about this coffee shop was great, down to the easy parking out front. It's a must try in Longfellow!! read more

What a wonderful place to get coffee!! Friendly, welcoming and the best hot coffee I've had in quite some time. Highly recommend

I have the chocolate milk, cold brew with cold foam. It was delicious and a unique product. Not overly sweet. On top of that they have a wonderful mission and supporting homeless youth with job training. read more

Hands down the BEST thing about Wildflyer Coffee is their mission! Wildflyer is a nonprofit supporting unhoused youth by providing mental health services, life skills classes, employment coaching, and of course employment opportunities at the coffee shop! As for the actual coffee and the coffee shop it's a great spot! Plenty of space and tables to hang out. They have house blends and sell all the coffee shop standards plus seasonal drinks! I love that because not every coffee shop goes into the seasonal stuff which can make it difficult to support local when you have a sugar-y craving! There's not a large density of coffee shops in this area so it'll always be a go-to for me in Downtown Longfellow! I've also always been able to find street parking right outside! read more

Ya know, I think I've visited the majority of Minneapolis coffee shops by now. Just saying... this was a decent one. We had a pretty decent cappuccino from here. read more

Service is always timely and staff cheerful. Food and drinks are reasonably priced. The ambiance is also very chill.

Sweet little nonprofit coffee shop and cafe in South Minneapolis with FANTASTIC coffee! We stopped here on our way to Minnehaha falls. I got the Longfellow Latte, a tribute to the well known South Minneapolis neighborhood. It's a brown butter caramel latte, and it was Absolutely delicious. Even better than their coffee is their employment training program that hires youth experiencing homelessness. We love a local shop that gives love and support back into our city. read more

#15 in my TWIN CITIES COFFEE SHOP SERIES Wildflyer is a nonprofit coffee company dedicated to end youth homelessness. They provide jobs to youth experiencing homeless so they can empower themselves, build their skills, and help them find their footing. Because of their mission, I've have been absolutely been dying to try this place! Knowing your money is supporting a small, local business, with a great mission makes it all the more meaningful. Not only do they have a fantastic mission, but they have DELICIOUS drinks! Definitely a top spot on my coffee list so far! I got the seasonal berry mocha w/ oat milk ($6) and it was divine! Super rich mocha flavor with the perfect balance of bitter and sweet. Both my friends loved their drinks too. One of them said it was their favorite coffee place they have tried in the Twin Cities! The vibes are immaculate. They have a super spacious interior with plenty of seating and great lighting. Definitely a good place to get some work done or chat with friends. I will definitely be coming back! :) read more

First off, the mission statement of this coffeeshop (provide job stability and supporting youth experiencing homelessness) already makes it a worthwhile place to buy a cup of coffee and support a local business. In addition to that, this place is just an overall solid coffeeshop. There is a decent drink selection that are well made. I have had both their London Fog and their Cafe Miel and both were excellent drinks. The Cafe Miel especially had for me the perfect balance of honey sweetness and the slight bitterness of coffee with a subtle and delightful sprinkling of cinnamon. There is also plenty of tables and places to work in the main coffeeshop and side room area, as well as decent access to outlets for most of the table areas. The place is busy but not crowded, and I have not had an issue finding a free table or place to work. Has average coffee-making and conversation background noise that is not too noisy to work but also makes it not awkward to have conversation. Free street parking around the area, will eventually probably have to be cautious of snow routes but for now haven't had a problem finding close parking. Been here twice now and will definitely be back. read more

While I'm not a coffee snob by any means, I do know when I have a truly bad cup of coffee. That said, I have liked everything that I have ordered at Wildflyer, and their prices are not overly expensive so it works with my tiny little pocketbook. Instead of talking about the coffee (and matcha!) I love Wildflyer for a number of other reasons. First off, I have mostly come here on Monday mornings/afternoons in order to do personal work (and sometimes chat with friends). They have always been quiet enough that I can focus and also don't feel bad taking up space for a couple hours (if a place gets full, I leave to make space). That's not to say they're not popular, but people are coming and going and also to-go-ing. Secondly, the music has always been really good. Music in spaces can be really overstimulating for me, but they have never had anything too loud and overwhelming. One day it was just hit after hit (for me)--I got in a serious flow with their playlist. I wanted to thank whoever chose it! Lastly but most important, I feel good supporting a place that is so mission-driven. If this review is the first you're reading about it, here is their mission in their words: "To create employment opportunities for youth experiencing homelessness and housing instability through the cultivation of life skills and personal empowerment." If you visit you can see their "syllabus" and grad stats on one of the walls. I also appreciate this value they express: "The pressure to 'do it all' across non-profit work harms program participants who already have experienced harm from poor systems and organizations. At Wildflyer, we have an anti-burnout work style..." I loved coming to this spot when it was Peace Coffee, and Wildflyer has proven themselves to be a more-than-worthy heir to this caffeinated space. read more

Great venue with lots of windows to let the light in. I tried their chai with oat milk and it was awesome. Friendly service at the counter and lots of good energy. Will definitely be coming back and glad to have found this neighborhood gem! read more

If you're in Minneapolis, Wildflyer Coffee *is* the Coffee shop that you need in your life. The coffee shop is spacious, the baristas are warm/ mellow/ thoughtful in all the little details that make your food and/ or drink experience both high quality and one of a kind. And, the biggest thing - which gave my heart all the warm and fuzzies - is the mission behind the coffee shop. It's part of a non-profit that professionally equips, supplies, and trains youth that are at risk of housing insecurity. So when you dine here, you're supporting an awesome cause as well! The one regret I have is that I wasn't able to stay longer. I had a lovely Jade Cloud tea (loose leaf), and wanted to try their vegan kimchi toast (or one of their many vegan food items) but I was pinched for time. I guess that gives me another reason to return! All I can say is well done, Wildflyer! 10/10! read more

I love the atmosphere and the shop's overall mission; however, I was disappointed by the food and drink quality. I ordered the coffee cake and the iced chai. The coffee cake was rather stale and dense, although the flavor was great. The chai tasted soapy. read more

I did it! I found the boujee-est coffee shop in Longfellow I had something called the Monarch Latte (does this not cement my first point?) which had a subtly sweet flavor that let you enjoy the noses of the coffee. Lots of activist type flyers and posters, some memorabilia on the corners and shelves. I had a reasonably good visit to Wildflyer. read more

Staff are friendly and the coffee was good but this is the loudest coffeeshop I've ever been to. I normally don't mind coffeeshop chatter, but this was over the top. Very hard to concentrate or have a conversation with the person across from you. read more

I love the mission of this place but I have to say I miss Peace Coffee sometimes. Good natural light, average coffee, there could be better ambiance. read more

Good coffee amazing mission. I'd never been here before and met a colleague here to connect. The space is classic coffee shop, cement floors, tables, plants, etcetera. Service is also classic coffee shop - but that's okay, it is actually reassuring. Love the mission and my latte was good. I'll happily go back - in fact we already set out next meeting there! read more

I popped into Wildflyer quickly on a Sunday morning. While I was in and out in 5 minutes, my first impression was great. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and warm. He helped me land on a Café Miel, which was very well made & totally delightful. The place had a cool vibe - natural light, plants, cool art, great branding, etc. I would definitely visit again, but next time I hope to stay a while to read a book or get some work done. I grabbed a quick pic, but it looks like they have a great mission to help homeless youth - what's not to love! Stop in and support them! read more

Last time I was here this was cool piece coffee. So I tried it again today and it was the same quality. Even the area mace sounds rough but it is not at Dentel families with kids on a on a Sunday morning here. The quality of the coffee was excellent figured it was worth the drive all the way from Kevin to have coffee here first I had Cortado. Plenty of free street parking. Biker friendly streets. read more

I loved Wildflyer Coffee! I should note that I am vegan and I only like iced matcha lattes. With that being said, I loved that Wildflyer had alternative milks (as every coffee shop should) and they had asked me about what level of sweetness I would like with giving options for sweetener. I ordered an ice matcha latte with oat milk and lavender syrup with medium amount of sweetness. The matcha I received was well mixed and the matcha lacked any bitterness. I would definitely go back as I loved taking pictures with my tripod both outside and inside and not to mention that their mission as a company is to end youth homelessness. read more

I love a good tea that pairs with a good cause. They have a good variety of hot and iced tea which I love and the tea was great. They have indoor and outdoor sitting. It wouldn't be my top pick for a place to do homework or study, but it's great place to meet up with someone for a chat. Quality of drinks is good, service was ok. They forgot to make my drink so I waited a really long time, and eventually had to go ask, but they made it right away after I asked. It's definitely worth a visit and great place to grab a drink whether you are a coffee or tea drinker. read more

I love restaurants with a mission! I want to use my money to support small businesses and nonprofits when I can, which was part of the reason that I was so excited when Wildflyer Coffee opened. As a Social Worker who works within the field of youth who are experiencing homelessness and sexual exploitation, I'm so thrilled to see opportunities like Wildflyer for them. Simply "getting a job" is rarely enough to lift someone out of homelessness. However, professional development skills and case management services on top of a paycheck is a different kind of solution of the crisis of youth homelessness. And not only is the mission amazing, the coffee and breakfast treats are actually GOOD! I'm not choking down coffee that I dislike, because I know that it is going to a good cause. It's a win-win. Great coffee. Great cause. read more
