Love the vibe, the food was great. I ordered the Nutella banana crepe and it was delicious. So much so I ended up going back the next day and getting two more . Service was prompt, it wasn't busy when I went however using table numbers seems to work and be efficient for them. Definitely recommend giving them a shot. And while your at get yourself a shot of expresó read more

I met a friend here for breakfast on a Wednesday. I was amazed at how many people were there during a weekday morning. It's not obvious immediately as to how to order - self serve to be picked up at the counter or order from the menu to be delivered to a table. I ordered the breakfast sandwich of ham, Swiss, tomato and egg served on a croissant which was quite tasty. It was served with fruit. My friend ordered the spinach crepe which she said was also delicious. The servings were plentiful yet not too much (great!!!) and came very fast to our table. The staff was very friendly and we had plenty of time to enjoy some conversation without feeling we were being rushed. The prices were quite reasonable as well. I would have given 5 stars were if not for the parking situation. Even at 10am, there was very little parking on the street and I didn't see any street lots. I spotted the Alina parking ramp across the street and decided to park there. The lot was nearly full yet there was no one in the lot. It was dark and a tad intimidating. There were no signs to direct you to the way out and I was surprised that no one was manning the exit station. I found a spot and walked up the stairs one level to the street and crossed. Admittedly, I have never been so frightened in a stairwell or ramp in my entire life. If you have to park there, I suggest that you ensure you are with someone. I know Cafe Astoria isn't responsible for the parking situation but it does have a bearing on my going there again. This is an awesome little neighborhood gem! read more

Cafe Astoria - Holiday latte CanyCane - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and got a slice of their crepe cake, the 24K latte (choco + amaretto) and the rainbow latte (mint + choco). The prices are pretty comparable to other coffee shops in town. I was impressed by the latte art and presentation, but kind of disappointed by the taste of the items. I couldn't taste the espresso in the coffee drinks and they were a bit too sweet, and the crepe cake didn't have much flavor to it. Parking is a bit hard to find on the weekends in this area but I managed to find street parking a block away. read more

Stopped in for some drinks and was overall pleased. The smoothies were just OK but the speciality matcha drinks were a big hit with the people we were with. There's lots of spaces to hang out in and the service was speedy. I'd love to come back to try some more drinks the next time I'm in town! read more

Came on a Saturday morning with friends. This place is pretty cramped and busy so don't expect to sit in if you're coming with a group. When they're busy, service is pretty slow, so don't expect a grab-n-go situation if you're in a hurry. I ordered the rainbow matcha, which, besides being very instagrammable, actually tasted delicious without being too sweet. My friends' more traditional espresso drinks were also decent. Where they falter is in their food. I had the swiss and ham crepe. It was fairly bland if I'm being honest. They also messed up my friend's crepe order, first forgetting about it, then making the wrong one. It, along with the oatmeal bowl my other friend had, were nothing to write home about, either. read more

I'll admit I came here for the pretty latte artwork. Nice spot with cafe menu, and a kitchen/bakery in the adjoining space. It might be a little tough to find parking here. I tried to come here once but couldn't find parking, tried again the following day and scored a spot nearby. You know you want to hit this spot for the rainbow latte! read more

Popular opinion: it's worth the hype I came here on a Saturday late morning and dang it was packed af but we decided to stick with it because we made the trek specifically for it! But we came at the end of the rush because shortly after, the place emptied out a lot! We ordered off the secret menu: 24k Latte $7 Rainbow Matcha $6 Yes, the price is not ideal if you're tryna save that coin but tbh it's not that outrageous. I think getting a large coffee w/ flavor can probably cost you about the same amount. We went to do some work there and were able to find a table by the window. There was actually a fair amount of seating available in the two rooms even though it was so busy. We got our drinks pretty quickly! And wowww are they pretty! Seriously just as pretty, probably prettier in real life! AND it tasted really good! Eventually I think I'd like to try everything off their secret menu! As for service, everyone was soo sweet. I'm 99.9% sure it's Filipina-owned which just makes me love this place more than I already do! read more

This place is definitely style over substance. The cafe is cute, the staff are kind of friendly and the drinks are pretty af- but that's about it. And parking is annoying and the place is pretty much always full too. Oh and the chairs are uncomfortable with small tables. I ordered a danish and the 24K gold latte- my order was $12- that's a lot for a little! The drink was overwhelming sweet (which was surprising because I like my lattes sweet) and the danish was dry. My friends had the other beautifully crafted but sweet lattes and smoothie bowls and were disappointed as well. Honestly it was not worth the hyper and I was so disappointed. Btw I heard if you're there to long- the staff will ask you to leave... read more

This is probably the most instagrammable coffee shop in the Twin Cities! With lattes that have real gold flakes on them, to rainbow lattes and crepes as a breakfast option, what's not to love? It is a small artsy coffee shop that was packed when we got there on a Sunday morning. We were lucky to find some seats! They have so many different coffee, smoothie, smoothie bowl, oatmeal bowls, crepes and other drink options. I tried the campfire latte (which was not my favorite, but was a very creative drink). My younger brother, who is generally picky, loved his frozen hot chocolate and crepe! We will be back to try more of the ube and matcha items (which I am so thrilled to see Asian foods ) read more

Cafe Astoria has become a truly iconic coffee shop in Saint Paul and such a fun place to bring friends who are in town visiting. Each drink is so creative and exciting and you won't be disappointed with whatever you order. Our food did come out before our drinks, but they spend time perfecting each drink so we were not disappointed. read more

I love this cafe for its atmosphere. They make the most prettiest coffee drinks ( all that are written as a part of their secret menu). There's a bluish wall color and flower murals. There's woodish and brick floor. All perfect for an Instagram lover's place. The coffee was actually good. I wondered if the fanciness of it would take away from the flavors, but it didn't. Parking seems tight here, and service a bit slow. But you would be coming here to enjoy the vibe. Not run in and out for a quick pick up read more

One of the better cafes I've been to. It has an old school vibe mixed with new school tech. The atmosphere feels straight out of Little House on the Prairie but i can order and pay via my iPhone. My Mocha wasn't blazing hot either. I don't know why cafes feel the need to burn your mouth. Highly recommend. read more

If you're a crepe lover like me, this has got to be on your bucket list. In my never ending quest for a delicious crepe, my search almost met its end here. However, I didn't get to try all of the crepes so now I gotta go back. There were so many options for sweet and savory crepes and the coffee selection was indescribable. Ok, I will begin to describe it. There were some with whole smores on it. I'll repeat that again: there whole s'mores on it. You should absolutely go here. read more

Fantastic and whimsical lattes crafted with unique art and accompanied by delectable breakfast options! Don't be deceived by the prices of the "secret menu". Their lattes are worth it. Where else can you get a giant roasted marshmallow on your coffee? Their breakfasts are also amazing. I got the "hello sunshine" oatmeal bowl. So fresh, healthy, not too sweet, and filling! They also offer savory options, smoothie bowls, and crepes. The baristas and staff were generous and the food came out so quickly! There's seating in and outdoors. Will be coming back soon! read more

The most popular coffee shop in all of St Paul! Last weekend I didn't stop because parking in St Paul (Yeah, I'm a small town girl turned Surbanite. So, I hate parallel parking.) Plus it looked so busy! I braved the cold and parallel parking this frigid Sunday morning. Shoved a poor man out of the way while trying to open the door. The line was rather long, but actually moved rather quickly! This little spot is super cute. On a corner with lots of windows for natural light. Charming brick walls! Insta-worthy! I ordered a rainbow latte. Of course it was pretty! But it actually tasted good as well! A touch of mint and a really tasty coffee. I ordered it to go so not as glamorous but still worth the trip! Snapped up some chocolate croissants to take home too for a treat later. If I'm ever in the neighborhood I'll definitely stop in again. read more

Astoria is my favorite cafe in the Twin Cities. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, Rex is especially helpful and remembers my name and what I order. Always delicious light and dark roasts, espresso wonderful special drinks as well as crepes and fantastic entrees. I recommend the Morracan Chicken Bowl. Oh, did I mention the pastries? Totally superior all around. (will add photos) read more

Cafe Astoria is one of my favorite cafes in St. Paul. Their Lattes are always great and very aesthetic. Also, for the crepes, you can update them for a Gluten Free version which, in the savory ones, has been made out of egg. It tends to get very busy on the weekends, so I recommend arriving early. read more

A bustling coffee shop with a personality. The coffee and food were both top notch. I was looking for a coffee and a breakfast place near the Xcel Energy Center, however, I found that there are mainly just national chains surrounding the arena. Cafe Astoria was well worth the walk. After ordering, a line formed out the door... so I instantly knew I made a good choice. The manager and/or owner of the coffee shop was very responsive and tried to keep the line moving as efficiently as possible. This was a nice place to hangout for a while and kill some time before my flight departed later in the day. Overall, I had a great experience at Cafe Astoria and I will certainly come back the next time I'm in St. Paul. read more

The hot chai latte is great, really creamy and a good blend of sweet and spice. The lemon pancakes were amazing. The custard they use is delicious and the fruit makes it perfect. The croissant orange pastry is wonderful too. The cafe gets really crowded so be prepared to wait especially if you have a large group. read more

The food is great. I give 3 stars because of the disorder and delivery of food. Half our drinks arrived together (2/4), another one arrived later but still in a somewhat timely manner. The last one never arrived. We asked for it 3 times l. We got it on the third ask because we waited for it up front as we were leaving. Even then, it was not as ordered. We did not get an apology. The food order did not arrive all together. Some people got their plates before others. The order and side for one person from our party of 4 arrived at different times. We ordered from the table and paid in full including tip. If I visit again I would have to make sure there is no time constraints on how long we can be there and I'll hold off on the tip until we are done. read more

Cafe Astoria is our favorite cafe in St. Paul. It is a small but very lovely artsy coffee shop. Their regular lattes are decent but we came here for their amazing secret and specialty drinks. We got a dirty matcha latte and 24K latte Espresso. They both taste great without being too sweet. The latte art is the next level, highly recommended.

Coffee Date? Want something fancier than Starbucks? Maybe Instagram worthy lattes? Don't look anywhere else than Cafe Astoria! I was skeptical because beautiful coffee art usually does not taste good they only tease you and look amazing but these lattes are both beautiful and delicious! The owner Leah and her manager was super sweet and I couldn't ask for nicer people to help me. I ordered - 24k Latte Campfire Latte Rainbow Latte Matcha 2.0 All were great but my favorite by far was the Matcha 2.0 and Campfire Latte! It's a super cute cafe that's both cozy and homey. I personally feel that it's a real feel good spot not only are getting caffeine but you get a little piece of art, peace and tranquility while dining. read more

First Impressions: A lively spot with super friendly, energetic staff. There is an eclectic mix of clientele, with a fairly equal split on 1st timers and regulars. The coffee is beautiful, magnificent pieces of art. Sadly, sweeteners at the end make it more pleasant to look at than to drink. It went down smoothly until I came to the bottom, then it was like a big swig of syrup. Definitely not good to the last drop, but good til the next-to-last drop, perhaps. Don't drain your cup! Paired our sweet treat with a fantastic savory crepe. Quite seriously among the best crepes, if not the best, I've ever had. The addition of the arugula giving it the much needed touch of freshness & bitterness to cut through all the richness. Again, beautiful coffee art (might want to ask for less sweet than usual) and excellent crepes read more

I met a friend I hadn't seen in over a year for coffee here, we were approached at a minimum 10 times regarding our table, our chairs, switching tables.. it was very annoying as I was trying to have a conversation.

We recently moved to St. Paul and wanted to give Cafe Astoria a try after seeing all the great reviews. We went on a Saturday morning for brunch and we were not disappointed! I could not believe how quick their service was. For Covid, they have increased outdoor seating. You order up front and then take a table number and they bring your meal out. We ordered the strawberry, banana and Nutella crepe, the blueberry lemon crepe. For drinks, we had a mixed berry smoothie and an iced Mexican mocha. My husband loved the smoothie, but to me it tasted too similar to sherbet lol. Everything else was excellent. I am excited to come back and try a Savory crepe or smoothie bowl or oatmeal bowl. There were so many great options to choose from. The decor of the restaurant was beautiful too with exposed brick and plenty of plants- maybe post Covid we will give indoor dining there a try! read more
