    Met a friend here for coffee and the staff was really kind. Plenty of seating and lots of street parking. I got the iced matcha latte with lavender and almond milk and it was perfect. The ham & cheese croissant was just okay. Overall great experience!

    Here's a cheery place in N.E. Minneapolis in a building that used to be the prince of drab. The dining area has a wall of windows with high chairs and counter. The minimalist concept still comes off as a quiet yet welcoming place. Check the food choices with browned buttery croissants including what has to be the best Ham and Cheese Croissant in any coffee bar. We'll call it hip but not snubby hip, there is a warm and fuzzy feel from the moment of entry.

    Great little coffee shop in our neighborhood. I've been here a few times and enjoyed the cup of joe and treats both times. I got to know Mac a little bit and she was a bundle of joy. My go to coffee is their London Fog (Foggy Bird). The morning bun was loaded with cinnamon - I suggest getting that heated up. Will definitely be back.

    Such a cute coffee shop with a big and bright interior. Perfect to work remotely from. It was quiet while we were there. The barista was really nice and the Hamline latte with honey and lavender was delicious. Also loved that alternative milks were no upcharge! It's really tucked away in northeast but there's street parking out front.

    We've been going here for over a year now but recently we've have a few bad coffees the past month. today we got a cold brew and a iced vanilla latte and the iced vanilla latte is mostly milk and there's loose coffee grounds on the bottom of the drink. just disappointed

    I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! There is so much seating for studying, cool art everywhere, and the tables are actually comfy lol. The coffee is so so good. My go to is the Hamline(lavender and honey) or one of their many specials(the bluebird is so good). They also have the best danishes ever. Pricing is pretty good for the quality coffee you get. And the baristas are so nice! There has never been a time where they didn't start a genuine conversation with me and I love that.

    I spent a couple of hours at Walden's Coffee on a Tuesday afternoon getting some work done and…read morereally enjoyed the space! It's surprisingly large inside, with tons of natural light and a mix of couches and tables that could accommodate anything from one person with a laptop to groups of 7-8. It was fairly busy for a Tuesday afternoon but never felt uncomfortable. It's also dog-friendly, and I loved the little container of dog treats by the entrance! I ordered the Peaches & Cream Cold Brew and really enjoyed it. It wasn't overly sweet, and the ratio of cold brew to the peachy cream/foam on top was just right. They also had pastries, sandwiches, and other food options that seemed pretty reasonably priced for the area. Another big plus is the convenient parking right across the street, and there are several other places within walking distance if you want to grab food afterward. Outdoor seating is pretty limited (I only noticed one table) so I'd primarily come here for the indoor space. The baristas were friendly, the atmosphere was comfortable, and it was an easy place to settle in for a couple of hours. Definitely a Northeast coffee shop I'd come back to!

    I've drove past Walden coffee probably a hundred times since I started working in the area, but I…read morefinally decided I had to stop in to check it out. From the moment I arrived staff were very friendly and the environment itself was also very welcoming. I ordered the London Frog; their speciality drink as they say, which is their spin on a London fog. It is a tea based drink with orange and espresso, and it was incredible... seriously one of the better coffee drinks I've ever ordered. 100% would order this again. I also got the pastrami sandwich with a side of chips. It was only $9 so I didn't expect too much or anything too fancy. It was a standard sandwich, toasted with a few typical toppings, but it was delicious and did the trick for a yummy lunch. I'll be coming to Walden Coffee again for sure.

    Met up with a friend to go over some work related things at Momo Cafe a few months ago and had a…read moregreat experience. We went late on a weekend morning and the place was packed. Momo Cafe is owned by the same family who own my favorite sushi restaurants: Momo Sushi in NE and AMA Sushi in Edina. This place was PACKED. We waited in a line to order that stretched all the way to the entrance of the quaint building. The vibe inside is quite cool but it is crowded so you might have to wait for someone to leave to grab a spot. We ended up only sticking around long enough to finish our food and then left to work somewhere else - it just was a bit too crowded for us to be productive and we didn't want to hog up space for other customers. I was pretty hungry while I was there so I ordered some meat momos. It took quite a bit of time for them to come out as they are made fresh, but they were delicious: incredibly savory and so fragrant. My recommendation is lean very far forward when eating these, one popped open while I was eating it and leaked all over me. Overall, great cafe and a good spot to grab a bite at too.

    What a great experience!…read more The cafe is very nice and spacious! Lots of places to work or mingle. The black sesame latte with almond milk was amazing! Didn't try the food but nice to know they have some veggie options. Easy to find and great service - totally worth the trek to enjoy!

    this place is unlike any other coffee shop for all the right reasons…read more cheap prices? check neighbor hood vibe? double check cute and quirky? oh yes. they offer DOLLAR coffees. yes, you heard me right. keep in mind this is a small cafe, hence the name, so it's not really a spot where a lot of people can go at once to camp out and spend a bunch of time on their laptops etc, which is fine because there are plenty of other places for that. they have a small bar with a row of a few stools that is fun to sit at and puts you right next to the baristas as they move about keeping everything going. there's a "main table with a side table facing the window and street that has nice natural light on sunny days and would be a good nook to occupy for a spell. i got a can of kombucha, energy bar, and ice americano for $9, a price substantially less than i expected. i see why this place is an institution. i will be back, and encourage checking it out if nothing else for the experience. you may want to come back too!!

There's limited seating, so it's not really a place I camp out and work (but you could! I just don't!), but the cozy atmosphere makes it feel welcoming every time I stop in.

Their large espresso latte comes with four shots of espresso. My little nephew likes to get the hot chocolate with one shot of espresso. He usually only takes a couple sips and then he gives the rest to his parents lol. This place is located in the lobby of an apartment building. There is no parking lot. It is all street parking only and very rarely do I ever see a street parking spot open. The streets in the area are always always full of cars so it's best to walk here if you are in the area.

I wish I had come earlier so that I could have enjoyed the interior! Very impressive and wins the award for the most beautiful/impressive coffee shop decor/interior I've seen}! It's a former warehouse so the ceilings are really tall, yet its not one of those modern/minimalist warehouse type spaces. They've really done some cool things w/ the interior to make it more welcoming and there were a lot of people here enjoying their coffee & conversations, etc. I was interested in the fall seasonal menu as I'm a sucker for anything fall/pumpkin, etc. I got the pumpkin butter flat white, which comes in a small and cute 8 oz cup (and you can still get it to-go). I enjoyed it a lot! Definitely recommend for the vibes but the coffee as well :)

    This place is fantastic! I went here prior to getting my hair done across the street for a meeting…read more There is huge space that is set up perfectly for working from coffee shop, which i truly love and appreciated. I had a hard time selecting a place to sit since I wanted to sit in many of the places. The staff was amazing! I ordered a cortado for here, and it was perfect and gorgeous. I ended up spilling it all over the floor (totally my fault). I went up to order a new one (planning to pay because again..my fault!) and the staff refused to let me pay and even brought me my new drink to the table I was at. Talk about customer service! It was my fault I spilled it and they would not let me help clean it up or buy a new one. Consider me a fan of this place!

    ***WORST COFFEE ON PLANET EARTH***…read more This review is only on their coffee, not the donuts (donuts are made by cardigan donuts), only just the really bad coffee. When you read about their coffee, they talk a lot about how their coffee is high on acidity, etc.. I don't think... that's not what makes their coffee really bad. Here is an example of why I think their coffee tastes such like crap. Just imagine making the Intenso (highest Nespresso, strength of coffee) coffee pod of Nespresso, that strong really bold very flavorful coffee taste. You'll get a dark rich color. Imagine RE-using that Nespresso coffee pod and brewing yourself another cup with it.... That's what FRGMT coffee tastes like.... Super watered down very acidic flavor that absolute crap coffee lack of any robust flavor. It just makes you think that you just got a watered down version of an espresso / coffee pod by brewing it again from a reused coffee pod, that's how this place makes you feel ... basically absolute crap taste. I've never had coffee this bad in my entire life, so that's why I think the coffee here is the worst coffee on the planet. Nobody wants to wake up in the morning and feel like a reused coffee pod. It makes you wonder what did they do with the first brew of the coffee lol. It literally tastes like they reuse the coffee grounds and you would therefore get that watered down coffee taste. Their coffee grounds that they use here should be investigated lol. No matter how you want to describe what this coffee is supposed to taste like or whatever the acidity description is on their website... it's basically crap coffee. Don't be fooled by their acidity in their coffee or whatever excuses they try to use bcuz it just tastes like basically watered down double filtered very watered down coffee. They charge the same expensive prices like anywhere else, but here you would get the watered down version that tastes like reused coffee grounds... ICK. Absolutely horrible, horrible type of coffee. It is almost as if they're using coffee grounds that have already been used before like they have already been processed before... very rancid coffee almost if that even is such a thing. Not to mention the people that work here act like and look like they hate their job and they just can't wait to go home. Never seen one person smile back there. Is it bcuz they know the coffee is bad?! Especially, being in a gorgeous open space of a lobby it makes you think different thoughts about what you're walking into, getting coffee service by extremely unhappy crabby folks. Very bad coffee but very good donuts and they don't even make their own donuts. This place wouldn't even exist without the cardigan donuts let's just say that. They also have their own merch lol. Bcuz customers want to wear their brand of really horrible coffee?! I am a local to SpyHouse & Dunn Bros for decades so my coffee palate I would say can debunk this place correctly lol. Even at Rise Bagel (a bagel place known for bagels!) does better coffee than here.
