    Honey iced latte, regular iced latte, miel cream cold brew

    Delicious coffee with a quick turn around for food as well. The breakfast burrito lived up to the hype and the donut french toast was a fun treat. The staff were very friendly and helpful in understanding the menu. Would return and recommend to a friend looking for a welcoming spot to stop.

    I stopped by CREAM for breakfast after I saw pictures of their coffee flight online and knew I had to have it. This seasonal flight comes with four of their signature coffee drinks. It's super cute (someone asked to take a picture) and each of them was delicious in their own way. If I lived here, I would definitely come back to try each month's new flight. I also got the breakfast burrito, which was good and came with a generous portion of potatoes. The café is pretty casual, with counter service and a condiment/silverware station. Staff did check in on me, which was appreciated. It's a relatively small restaurant so I can see that seating may get taken on busy days. It looks like they also share the space with an evening concept. By the way, CREAM stands for "coffee rules everything around me ."

    Love supporting local BIPOC businesses! Good coffee drink options and friendly staff! I really enjoyed this cafe! The drink menu and syrup options are very good - more options compared to other coffee shops I've seen. There are coffee and tea options here. They also have coffee flights that changes (I think monthly) and about $20 for 5 samples. The breakfast and lunch menu are more limited but classic. I enjoy my caramel creamppuchino which is a blended iced coffee drink- creamy and sweet but not overpowering on the sweetness. I also tried the salted maple latte and it was yummy but a little too sweet for me. Fair amount of seating inside. There is a shared metered parking lot with other businesses nearby.

    I really loved the breakfast burrito. It was a hefty size with great flavors & I could taste the beef. I thought the waffles were good. The chai cinnamon roll was dry, maybe overcooked, maybe old. We had the monthly coffee flight, except 2 drinks didn't appear to have coffee... I wasn't expecting that. I liked 3 of the 4 but would probably only order it again if it was all coffee that month. (It changes each month) Service was pretty fast considering everything that had to be done, making all those drinks for the flight. I would go back if in the area.

    It was between breakfast & lunch when we sat down with a terrible cup of hotel coffee to begin our search for sustenance. Upon realizing that the cups we were holding were undrinkable, a coffee flight imagine popped up in the search. When the universe speaks, we have to listen. Off we marched (about 15min) The flight flavors change monthly, very clever, creative &, IMO, that makes it worth the steep $18 for a no booze involved flight. Now, I will say when someone says coffee flight, I do expect coffee drinks & this month (July) included a Pina Colada Matcha (neither of us cared much for it - but knew so going in... not a fan of coconu) & Butterfly Pea Lemonade (which was tasty & refreshing) - in addition to Cherry White Chocolate Mocha (which we surprisingly both liked) & our favorite of the day, Rosemary Cold Brew. I feel like they should call it a specialty drink flight vs coffee flight, due to the variations. I appreciated the "how to order it" tip on the board, for dietary accommodations, tho I don't need it. We started with a $5 Chai Cinnamon Roll (flavor rotates) &, while we enjoyed the flavor, we found it to be dry & crumbly inside - this was a miss for us, to the point that I would order other flavors. Next up was $8 waffles. Crispy outside & tender inside, as expected from the description, topped with warm syrup, fresh blueberries & strawberries. YUM Last was the showstopper $12 Breakfast Burrito with lightly salted crispy potato wedges. I'd return for this if for no other reason. It was delish! Service wasn't fast but it was accurate. Order,pay & pick up at the counter, order will likely come up in stages, which I prefer. When done, you clear your table.

    Very cute cafe! I came in for a cold brew and a little pastry, and it looks like there are a lot of other tempting breakfast & lunch offerings. My cold brew was AWESOME! I got the Cinnamon Roll Late and just loved it. I've driven by this place a hundred times and not noticed it. It's there! It's on the street level of an apartment building and there is a parking lot between them and Second Street. Parking isn't free, but the rates are the same as the street parking in the area. Look for the orange awnings; there are two entrances. They do coffee flights! They change it monthly! Someone let me take a picture of theirs and I am definitely going to return with a friend to get one of these. Look at the picture! This is a clean cafe with nice seating and friendly employees. My cold brew thing was so tasty you guys.

    I loved the homestyle momma breakfast sandwich so much and The Biscoff iced latte also tried the banana bread chai dirty of course it was a beautiful day to walk near the river and customer services has always been 10/10 thank you

    The service was great, everyone was polite and friendly. The drinks were even better, they were so well made and beautifully decorated, but not being able to sit down really affected me enjoying my first experience at this cafe. I'm glad that they are booked and busy, however, more seating is definitely needed. I tried November's coffee flight and I might just get a full size drink to go next time.

    The best thing on their menu is their coffee flights -- make sure to stop by to taste their themed flight of the month!! On Tuesdays, they're 50% off so it's a great deal! I definitely recommend stopping by during a non busy week day instead, their flights take a lot of work to make so it might be too busy on a weekend to buy one. The drinks on their regular menu are just as fun and innovative if that's more your thing as well. They have parking right in front of the cafe but sometimes is full so you might need to find street parking. The staff there are very nice and overall a cute space! It's on the smaller side so head over early to secure a seat.

    Cute little cafe in Minneapolis you'd miss unless you stumbled upon it virtually! I found C.R.E.A.M. when I was looking for Valentine's Day coffee flights and I'm so glad we went. The cafe is cute and small. It would be perfect if you're looking for somewhere to work or grab a quick breakfast/lunch. I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast sandwich and don't even need to mention the coffee flights because the photos speak for themselves. We brought a film camera and had a great time listening to music (whoever was on playlist duty deserves a raise) and testing out coffee flavors. I can see myself coming back to check out the flights as they change throughout the year. The service was standard. Nothing stood out positively or negatively but we got our food and drinks quickly so I can't complain. Also, parking was a breeze which is always a concern in the cities. Definitely worth a stop!

    C.R.E.A.M. is the place to be! We frequented this place several times, once on Juneteenth and the place stays busy yet has great seating and food options, personable staff and great décor. Food 5/5 My daughter enjoyed their breakfast sandwich and we ordered a Fresh Prince Themed flight which was awesome. Service 5/5 Service is always A1 and personable. Ambiance / Location 5/5 Conveniently located in the Mill City district area right off Washington and public transportation. Its situated next to owners other restaurant- Klassics Kitchen who also has great food and ambiance! Overall 5/5 The who's who of the city come here for great coffee, light meals, and for meetups! I've seen several founders, entrepreneurs, and pillars of the community frequent C.R.E.A.M. Everything about the place pays homage to the culture, its a trip down memory lane! When your done, head to Klassics for lunch or dinner! Get their Cajun Wings, they don't disappoint.

    Caffetto is the quintessential Minneapolis coffee shop--they've got tasty, reasonably priced drinks…read more(including a robust selection of teas both hot and iced), good hours, and a real fun punk cafe vibe (lots of fun graffiti and vintage pinball machines). I think Caffetto kind of corners a market that no one else has by being open so late--most coffee shops are barely open past noon, and they're open until midnight! I've personally spent many a late night there finishing up work--it's a really cozy atmosphere, and the selection of pinball machines in the basement are the perfect study break activity. The staff are all great and even when there's a line, they get through it quick and are still able to offer great recommendations--while I usually prefer an iced green tea with no ice, I've tried the lattes, cold press, Thai coffee, and hot chocolate and have genuinely never had a bad drink here. The only thing is to make sure you watch your step if you're walking in the basement--even though it has seating and pinball and the bathroom, it's more of an unfinished space with uneven flooring and I personally rolled my ankle and fell there last year haha.

I had a triple decaf almond milk latte that tasted like it was caffeinated to me but didn't give me the buzz I'm so addicted to, that's when you know it's a good decaf. I love the coziness and the unique artwork in Caffetto. I look forward to coming back at an earlier hour to feed my addiction. But it's great to know I have a go to coffee shop for those afternoon cravings where the decaf tastes just as delightful! UPDATE- 2 hours later: there's additional seating and a pinball machine room in the basement, glad I went downstairs to the bathroom.

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.

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!
