We are on an adventure to go to as many boba tea places or bakeries as possible! This was on the…read moreway running errands and decided to check it out. There is a small parking lot on the side of the building and they had a cute sign out front. They are located on a somewhat busy street, so this could make or break some of their business. Ambiance: Inside was huge! This would be a great place to meet with a small group as they have different areas inside to sit and converse. It wasn't very busy when we were there but it was around 1 on a Tuesday. They have a bakery, ice cream counter and boba. They had a bakery case that looked really tasty, so we decided to get 3 items to share. - Lemon macaron - perfection and had a gooey chewiness. We could eat a ton of these. - Eclair - I don't think I've ever had an eclair and now I am questioning why! It was chilled and the perfect amount of filling to outside pastry. The chocolate falls off when you bite it, so eat over a napkin to not lose any pieces. - Chocolate croissant or pastry. I think it was Nutella and it was incredible! Flakey, gooey and everything you'd want it to be. I'm sure you could warm it up and it would elevate it further. Yum! We both got a fruit tea and it was a lot. Sadly, I wouldn't get again as it was too sweet and my boba tasted like ramen noodles. (It actually made me hungry for ramen). My teen got the strawberry milk tea and even said it was sickly sweet and she needed the ice to sit. Overall, I didn't love the boba... but I would recommend the pastry! They also had some decadent looking muffins and cake slices. If in the neighborhood, stop in! I think they should make a Macaron ice cream sandwich! The woman that helped us was so sweet and patient while we took forever to decide what we wanted.

I stopped in to this new neighborhood Bakery on a Thursday Afternoon to pick up some treats to…read morebring home. Was greeted very nice & served promptly. I will try their drinks next time. What I Ordered: *Chocolate Cheesecake - 10/10....This was absolutely DEVINE! Do not pass this up! Very rich with 3 layers but pairs great with Coffee. Hard fudge like top, Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse type middle with I believe Oreo cookie base. *Chocolate Croissant & Strawberry/Cream Cheese Croissant - 8/10...Great Flavor & tasted very fresh. *Eclair - 8/10....Typical Eclair Flavor. Wish it was a little bigger Large interior with plenty of seating. Come support your neighborhood bakery & check it out.

Found street parking nearby, which made getting here easy. The lady taking my order was incredibly…read morepatient and friendly, and she made me feel welcomed from the start. I ordered the French Toast Latte. It was good, but I think I should have gone with one of the seasonal drinks if I was looking for more of that "wow" factor. The veggie momos took about 20 minutes to come out, which seems pretty standard since they're made fresh. The wait didn't feel long at all. They arrived hot, and the filling was delicious mostly cabbage and potato. The portion was generous and filling. I also loved the chili sauce, it had a nice kick without overpowering the dumplings. The cafe itself has such cozy vibes. It looks small from the outside, but there's plenty of seating inside. The table lamps, decor, and music create a chill atmosphere that made me want to stay awhile and read. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu!

I was honestly surprised by how big this cafe is. It just keeps going! The space is cozy and…read morewelcoming with a nice mix of comfortable lounge seating and firmer tables that seem perfect if you're planning to work for a while. I also loved the individual task lights above the smaller tables. It's a small detail, but it made the space feel really thoughtful. The only downside is that there isn't much natural light, so the cafe can feel a little dark, especially toward the back. The staff was the biggest disappointment. They weren't rude, but they came across as pretty standoffish, which made the experience feel less welcoming than the space itself. I ordered the light roast coffee and, unfortunately, it was pretty terrible. That said, the menu is huge with lots of different drinks and food options, so I'm sure there's something on it that would be a much better choice. I also didn't try any of the pastries, but they looked absolutely massive and definitely caught my attention. Overall, I really wanted to like this place more. The atmosphere is great and it seems like an excellent spot to work or relax for a while, but the coffee and less than welcoming service left me a little underwhelmed. I'd be willing to give it another shot and try something different from the menu.

They serve Somali tea, coffee, and a variety of sweets and treats. Service was helpful at the counter, but not especially quick for food/drink service. They do crepes specifically, so we had to get one! It came rolled up which was delish, with cookie butter and Biscoff cookie topping. We got the Somali tea and coffee, and it was delish but quite sweet - I'll ask for less sugar next time. The star was the Nafaqo: hard boiled egg inside a seasoned potato patty - our first time trying it and so good! Hearty and filling.

There are many options on the menu including coffee, tea, smoothies, desserts and even a couples sandwiches and avocado toast! The staff were very friendly and the place itself is so such a cute cozy vibe! There is a small parking lot and off street parking available. I got the Spanish Latte which was absolutely delicious. It was very hot (which is exactly how I like my drinks!) , just the right amount of sweetness and a very good quality roast. I might just have to find myself in Columbia Heights again soon!

Especially since the cafe is music themed with cute coasters inspired by vinyls and the cafe itself is the ambiance of an old school studio. Service is relaxed and friendly and the drinks came out nice and pretty. My Brown Sugar Banana Latte which I got cold tasted very faintly of banana and more of brown sugar which was a little disappointing, but my partner's sweet potato latte was very enjoyable served hot. Both drinks were on the sweeter side which is fine but not my preference. Would I go back? Probably not, but I can see someone who enjoys their coffee sweet to go out of their way to Get Down Coffee.

Probably not the ideal hang out spots for groups but more so 2-3 ppl max group. Seating is tight but always able to find somewhere to sit. The Brown Sugar Banana Latte is my favorite, I almost always get that. I have tried the Blueberry Hill Iced Tea as well, which was good. My mom didn't care for the tea but she's not a tea drinker generally but she loved the Latte though and talks about it all the time now. Looking forward to stopping by again!

Street parking available outside, which we didn't struggle to find a spot! The space is quaint and casual, littered with remote workers, friends catching up, and solo sippers during our visit! Seating for small and medium sized groups, and it appeared there were larger meeting rooms in the back of the space. The baristas were very busy slinging espresso shots but were friendly and didn't take shortcuts on our drinks during the busy Saturday morning rush, which is always appreciated. I enjoyed that they had inventive and unique seasonal drinks available! I ended up with the Bourbon Salted Caramel Latte, which was absolutely delicious! The black salt sprinkled on top was perfection! The Andes mint on the side was a lovely finishing touch! The perfect way to start my below zero weekend in Minneapolis!

We went to Yellowbird on a Monday morning around 11:15. There is a large seating area which was…read moreabout half full, so it is a popular place - and I can see why! Good lighting and not too loud. They have all of the usual coffee options as well as several of their own concoctions. They have pastries as well as more hearty options like breakfast burritos, although when we went they were out of burritos, probably because we were there so late. They have several gluten free items, and vegan items. It looks like everything that can be sourced locally is local, and they have the providers listed on the menu. They are obviously very socially and environmentally conscious. The servers were very friendly. I had a cold press with cream which was excellent, exactly what I hoped it would be, good coffee flavor. Next time I would probably ask for less cream, but it is real cream. I also had the morning bun which was very good. It was like a cinnamon roll that was also rolled in cinnamon and sugar on the outside. My partner had a red eye which was dark roast and espresso with cream. He liked it very much. He also had a ham and cheese croissant and an apple fritter, both of which were very good. Parking is street parking which wasn't a problem when we were there but may be a problem at busier times. The interior is handicapped friendly, but again parking could be an issue. We loved it and will definitely be back.

There was only one person ahead of me, which gave me just enough time to peruse the menu on the wall, figure out where the WiFi password was listed, and break down my will enough to order that gorgeous-looking apple fritter at the top of the bakery shelf. The barista quickly assembled my large maple latte in an orange-yellow mug with that apple fritter that was calling my name, plus a large breakfast burrito. The burrito was more like an enclosed panini with sides of salsa and sour cream. While I ate 2/3rds of it, I cannot say that I enjoyed it all that much, especially for the $13 price. On the other hand, the maple latte and apple fritter were divine, if a little over-priced (although, what isn't, nowadays?). The power and Internet for the neighborhood just went out in the middle of this review, so I'm finishing through my phone hot-spot and will head on my way!

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 gets an incredible amount of natural light, which makes it a pleasant place to spend some time. I also loved that it's dog friendly. The seating, however, is a bit of a mixed bag. There's a decent amount of it, but it's not really comfortable and it feels like there's plenty of room to add more seating throughout the space. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made for a great first impression. The menu is a little limited, but what I had was excellent. I ordered the light roast coffee and it was super good. I was also happy to see they carry Cardigan Donuts. If you have not had one before, they are absolutely worth trying! The biggest drawback for me was the WiFi. It was so unreliable that it made getting work done almost impossible, which is a pretty significant downside for a coffee shop. Overall, I enjoyed the coffee, the atmosphere, and the friendly staff, but the limited menu, somewhat uncomfortable seating, and especially the poor WiFi kept this from becoming one of my go to coffee shops.
