    Such a cute coffee shop! I love the yellow and bird decor. Super friendly staff. Delicious coffee and so many gluten free options! Street parking is easy. I will be back

    Stopped by on Saturday morning to try their fall flavors, got the Nutty Bird and very much enjoyed it! As much as I loved my drink, I was a little shocked when it rang up around $8.50 but I did appreciate that there's no extra charge for alternative milk. The inside is smaller, a handful of tables for small groups, as well as a couple barstools by the window.

    Yellowbird is an adorable small coffee shop in St Paul which has one of my favorite drinks off all time, The Selby. It's a chai latte with ginger chai, vanilla syrup and burnt sugar. So so so good!! The place is usually busy but the staff is very friendly! I love the fun menu and so many drink options! There is a small attached lot and free off street parking available.

    Such a cute coffeeshop with a nice tucked away vibe despite being right on Selby, Yellowbird does a great job of being a cozy coffeeshop with nice seating indoor and out. Tons of yellow bird decorations really add to the ambiance. And the coffee is great too! Fast service when I was there, and my plain cold brew was rich and refreshing, exactly what I needed.

    Perfect little urban neighborhood coffee shop! Lots of tasty coffee options, very friendly staff, and a pleasant mess of evidence along all the walls that they care about the neighborhood and the larger community. It's a small enough space, with a contented enough customer base, that it can be a bit crowded during peak hours. They have parking spaces in the back (NOTE: it's not the parking lot next to them, you have to enter from Dunlap Street and park behind them), but those are also claimed quickly when it's busy. So just park on the street like we all do for so many businesses in this charming part of town. I like the Hamline, a sweet coffee treat with a modest mix of unique flavors; it's good enough to get every time, but I want to try more of what they have. I've also had a "morning bun" which I really liked (heated up is best).

    Cute coffee shop with a great variety of signature drinks! I got the Lex which comes with chocolate and caramel and ordered it iced. It came out quickly and tasted pretty good. There's some seating inside, and parking behind their store which is very convenient. I didn't spend much time here, more of a grab and go thing but I'd love to come back!

    To say I liked The High Hat is a bit of an understatement. Honestly just thinking about it now I'm…read moresad I don't live in MN and can't go back soon, it's really just that good. First of all we found this place on Yelp and landed on it because of the high reviews and how close it was to our airbnb. I was a bit worried about a wait as it looked popular but with two people we were able to get in pretty quick (less than 5 min wait) on a Sunday morning. It was packed though, so there might be a wait. Space is at a premium in this building and despite being a bit crammed in it was still a great experience overall. Honestly everything was wonderful. The server: A+, ambiance: great, food: holy hell it was delicious. I had some sort of benedict that came on cornbread and was paired with some incredible hashbrowns. Chef's kiss. I also ordered a specialty mocha for fun and it also did not disappoint. This place is a slam dunk for breakfast. If you live in the twin cities and you haven't eaten here yet what are you doing!?

Single. Time. That doesn't even cover how wonderful the staff there is! Just really great people who are keeping it real. No parties larger than 6, this is a hard rule and needs to be respected. I have seen people argue with the owner. It's a small place and he values his staff so much that he will not opt for income over his staff's mental health or stress level. I admire that so much. All the more reason to take your close friend and enjoy a real down to earth local business!!!

I've since removed myself due to how popular the shop got and recently had an opportunity to revisit. I'm so glad I did! What I once knew as a tiny, cozy shop has expanded into an entire new section directly behind the original space allowing for more guests to visit. This is fantastic! I know the original owners of Cafe Astoria have stepped down, yet I'm pleased to say under the new ownership that many of the original decor and items remain the same from awhile back. The biggest transformations are the larger space, added painted mural, flexible ordering system where you can now order from a QR code at your table or walk up the register, expanded menu that includes brunch all day and items such as breakfast sandwiches and avocado toast. What went from a small crepe and specialty coffeehouse has truly grown. Don't worry the crepes and coffees are all still on the menu. I had the mango smoothie bowl and a mushroom and Swiss crepe - both were outstanding. I even had an iced pumpkin chia. Yum! I look forward to returning. The hospital workers are so lucky to be close to this establishment.

Wifi is good and some people WFH here, but it does get crowded fast on the weekends! The menu is expansive, but the crepes and drinks seem to be the main attractions. They have unique espresso and matcha options, including a secret menu and seasonal items. They do tend to be on the sweeter side. I always get the dirty matcha! My friend enjoyed the campfire mocha and creme brulee in the pasr. The crepes are pretty good - thin, but still soft as crepes should be! I also like the variety. You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu here!

They have remodeled a little since the last time in and now there's lots of space and fun decor on the walls. The menu has something for everyone.

I also snagged a bite of the pancakes, which were also so good. Our server was so great, got us taken care of quickly and made great recommendations. Would highly recommend stopping by the Neighborhood Café!

They thought the pancakes were amazing, and the Cajun Breakfast is everything I wanted it to be and more. They use ground andouille sausage rather than diced rope sausage and it's just so much better. But honestly, I could have been happy just dipping the double buttered toast into the hollandaise for a whole meal. SO GOOD! And the service was impeccable - friendly and attentive despite how busy it was. Only thing that could use a little work is the seating- our booth was torn up badly and not even duct taped to smooth it out. Some repairs/updates would go a long way. But joints like this I don't judge the ambiance too harshly.

If the weather is nice, the outdoor seating is definitely the way to go because there is a ton of it. Our server was friendly and had some really helpful recommendations, which I appreciated. The one downside was that they did not check in very often. Normally that would not have bothered me much, but the restaurant is very strict about table time limits, so it created a surprisingly stressful dining experience. It felt like we were racing the clock while also waiting to get our server's attention. The drinks started things off on a decent note. The banana bread latte was good, but I honestly could not taste any banana bread. The espresso martini was also fine, though it leaned pretty bitter and was not the easiest cocktail to sip. The food was all over the place. The mini donuts were easily the biggest disappointment. They somehow tasted overfried while also lacking sweetness, which is not exactly what you want from a donut. The monkey pancakes were much better. They were loaded with sweet toppings, but the pancakes themselves were not overly sweet, which kept the dish from becoming overwhelming. I also tried the pork belly biscuit. The biscuit itself was delicious, but the entire dish was absolutely drowning in sauce, and the pork belly was much chewier than I expected. Overall, there were enough things I enjoyed that I would not completely write this place off, but between the uneven food and the rushed feeling created by the seating policy, it was not the relaxing brunch experience I was hoping for.
