I only order hot chocolate and they offer whole milk right off. It doesn't come automatically with whipped cream which is great for me. It's foamy enough on its own. A great taste that stays hot when you get it home. A definite neighborhood hang out which they needed. Great baristas too and I believe the owner is onsite. I love the punch card too. read more

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. read more

Yellowbird Coffee Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - St Paul, Minnesota

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). read more

Solid coffee, but no available seating when I visited and they don't take cash. Friendly staff. I'd go back when in the neighborhood and want a coffee to go. read more

Card only establishment. They don't accept cash. Good coffee and nice staff. Street parking.

What a nice little neighborhood coffee spot. It's got an interesting selection of coffee drinks and just a really nice homie vibe. I spent a couple hours and ending with a friend there one day. It wasn't super crowded, but it was still busy throughout. I think it would be a good choice if you're looking for a neighborhood, Saint Paul coffee shop read more

Went to meet a friend I haven't seen in a few years. The young lady behind the counter was cheerful and since the place is not large, that has a big effect on ambience. I enjoyed a mocha and a chocolate croissant. Both were very delicious. read more

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! read more

My new favorite coffee shop! So cute. Great coffee and pastries. Fantastic service. Clearly a beloved spot for the neighborhood, it was hopping. Thanks Yellowbird read more

I was headed back to Chicago and I saw this place on yelp so wanted to try it out because it looked cute. I get there, I order, the guy was super nice but it seemed like he didn't know what he was doing drink making wise, the young lady seemed to be making most the drinks. I payed 7.89 for an iced dirty chai latte. I waited about 18 minutes before I politely asked about my drink, then they both looked at me like what do you mean and then the girl was looking at her coworker expecting an answer. It was just painfully confusing and I waited an additional 8 minutes then I just asked for a refund because I was trying to get on the road and figured I could stop at Caribou. When I asked for a refund she just made my drink very fast with a massive amount of oatmilk and handed it to me without saying anything. I didn't drink it :( read more

This is a fantastic local coffee shop! Prices are a bit high but the quality and locality of the experience are of quality. I love their various coffee flavors and assortment of pastries. The meeting and studying space is perfect for neighbors and students alike. read more

I went to Yellowbird Coffee Bar on a Sunday morning. It was a beautiful day so my friend and I were able to bike to the coffee shop which was so lovely. There is plenty of parking in a lot on the side of the coffee shop. Upon entering you walk right into the counter to order coffee and look at the treats they have to offer. They had a lot of coffee options to choose from and a list of signature drinks as well. I chose to get the Chai tea latte with skim milk and my friend got the latte with whole milk. The drinks were ready quickly and were served in the cute yellow mugs shown in the photos. There were a handful of seating options in the coffee shop and the coffee shop had a quiet, relaxing vibe, however, we chose to sit outside. I did not love my chai latte as it was much more milk than it was chai tea but my friend enjoyed his coffee. I would also like to note that I thought everything was priced really well, as coffee shops seem to hike up their prices. Overall, not the most exciting coffee but a good neighborhood spot. read more

Nice ambience, but I was charged $8 for a cup of milk with an eighth of a teaspoon of gritty matcha. The barista made it quickly but it seemed he made it so fast there was no care put into it. It wasn't green in color at all. read more

This is a cozy neighborhood coffee shop. You can easily spend a few hours working with a nice background of conversation and music. I got the chai which was exactly what a cloudy November day calls for. I also tried the m and m cookie and chocolate croissant. Loved the croissant! The workers were friendly too. read more

I really enjoy trying new coffee shops and this one was lovely. I especially enjoy getting coffee in a big mug and enjoying it over outstanding conversation. Check and check. One wall of the place is lined with 2-person booths the rest filled with tables. I saw most of the restaurant filled with people having 1-1 conversations. Great way to start the day! read more

Solid coffee, great building and dog friendly. Food offerings a limited but the brownie was delish. Visiting the kids and I was happy to find the Yellow Bird a block away. Busy, but not too busy with a nice inside and seating outside I appreciated with the dog water dish outside and the dog biscuits inside. I had a cortado on two separate visits, prepared correctly both times. Staff was nice, the facility clean and strong, free wifi. As long as the kids live here I will be back read more

Really nice place to stop in and have a coffee. A friend lives just down the block and we stopped in for a quick coffee. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting. Lots of light and nice places to sit. They promote local business and are super friendly. They offer different milk options for drinks including locally sourced small farm Minnesota milk in glass jugs. It really is a charming place to check out. I will be back and look forward to trying some of the yummy looking croissants. read more

This is a lovely coffee establishment! Their coffee is delicious, baristas are kind, and they have a ton of pastries for your consumption.

We ordered the Yellow Bird affogato which is a shot of espresso over a scoop of ice cream with a drizzle of caramel syrup. It was delicious. We also got an almond croissant that was pretty good. 4 star food but we got 3 star service. read more

Wow! Super cute and the coffee is terrific! We went to Como Zoo and needed a warm up and decided to go here. Cozy and unique art. Service was so nice and helpful. Hard to choose a drink when all of them sound delish. read more

I was on a cross-country solo trip and dropped in the Yellowbird Coffee Bar based on another Yelp review. So glad I did. I don't drink coffee (I know, I know), but found that when traveling solo, coffee houses are a great place to get a good feel for a city. This coffee bar was bustling, but the staff were really great-filled up my drink three times in the midst of their busy morning, had a great selection of pastry and lots of room to sit, work, eat and read. Well done! read more

This coffee shop just opened in the Lex-Ham community. It's nestled between a yoga and hair studio and right of the 21 bus stop. There's plenty of street parking available and even an outdoor patio. I've been twice, once with my momma and once to work remote for the day. The internet is solid and I love the hardwood chairs. Since COVID hit, they have outdoor seating available but I've limited my time and done grab and go instead. They're still open and serving delicious coffee drinks. read more

I'm not a big coffee guy but I'll tell you what, Yellowbird's House Blend is by far the greatest coffee I've ever had. Love the people, ambiance and I will be sending all my friends and family to The Bird! read more

An adorable coffee shop in St Paul! My friend and I decided to meet up for coffee. The whole shop smells like delicious coffee and that's how you know you've found a gem. We are both sensitive to dairy but they offer almond and oat milk (not listed on their menu). I went with the Selby (the chai latte) and really enjoyed it. Great blend of spices and stayed warm. Service was great and we got our drinks quickly. There is some seating inside but the place itself is small. Yellowbird also partners with local vendors and posts this on their website. I absolutely love seeing local businesses helping each other and working collaboratively. I am excited to see how this business continues to grow! There is a small parking lot behind the shop but otherwise there is plenty of street parking. read more

The barista was very nice and bubbly! Drinks were great, the cappuccino and featured drink were both on point. Little spendy, but pretty on par with all overpriced coffee shops. read more

What a bright sunny find in St. Paul. I ordered a dark roast, drip coffee. It hit the spot on this snowy afternoon. The space has tables and chairs as well as a seating area with 4 oversized chairs grouped together. The guy at the counter was really friendly and explained the different flavors of the coffee roasts which I appreciated. Only downside is what I think is the espresso machine loudness. I have never noticed this much noise at other places. It definitely puts a pause on conversation. But hey it won't stop me from going back. read more

I found another neighborhood coffee bar in St. Paul I wasn't expecting to find as I was detouring around construction heading West on Selby. A cool accidental find as I saw the banner hanging in the front signaling it's obviously a new set up. Casual as neighbors sit and work or noshing chatting. The usual concoctions are posted on a chalk board in traditional urban bar style. Daily specials and pastries, sandwiches made from Nelson's Cheese and Deli. I only had a brewed in the smaller size which was $3.25..oofta kind of steep for what I think was 12oz., as the barista didn't know what the actual size was. The brew was good enough for me to make a return if in the area but it wasn't highly to my liking. The place is new so we'll give plenty of license and try later. read more

I adore this coffee shop! It's my new favorite in Saint Paul and I regularly make the trek from where I live in white bear lake to come work here. Coffee is absolutely amazing (highly recommend the cold brew!), baristas are lovely, and the ambiance is 10/10. Couldn't love Yellowbird more! read more

Small coffee shop. Super cute concept on their drinks. Parking isn't favorable but the drinks are good! I highly recommend it if you're in the area. The pastries didn't look appetizing so I didn't bother to get anything. Hoping to come back to try their other specialty drinks. read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Yellowbird! Despite the cold and snow outside during my visit, Yellowbird offered a wonderfully warm interior, with their yellow theme. I ordered an iced vanilla latte with almond milk, and I did enjoy it, but it wasn't terribly unique. I also ordered a blueberry muffin and I LOVED it. The barista was super kind, friendly, and cheerful, and I loved how relaxed the ambiance was. I would definitely recommend Yellowbird to anyone looking for a new place to study (located near to Concordia, Hamline, and Macalester), or catch up with friends! read more
