I literally can't say enough good things about the Coffee Hag! I have been going there since I was a sophomore in high school and they are consistently amazing! If you love great coffee, delicious food, and one-of-a-kind people, The Hag is for you read more

Coffee was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant! Would love to live closer so I could stop more regularly!

My boyfriend and I stopped here on the way back to the cities from our camping trip. I was getting sleepy so he looked up "coffee" on Google Maps and he picked this place. I am really glad we decided to stop here! Thank you Google Maps for guiding us to this wonderful place. It's located on the corner of a very old building, but it's a "cool" old. They have several spots right on the side so it was really convenient to find parking. We walked in and it was pretty big for a coffee shop (compared to ones I've been to at least) and the atmosphere is fantastic! Very clean, cozy, and overall just very welcoming. We headed towards the back where the barista/cashier was and they were very friendly. There was a bit of wait before we could order as I think we just happened to get there during a busier time, but there were plenty of things to look at (art, posters, etc.) to help keep us occupied until it was our turn to order. We explored the food menu which sounded delicious, but didn't end up ordering any food since we just wanted to stop by and get something to keep us awake on our drive. When it was finally our turn (I'd guess approx. 7 minutes later), the cashier immediately apologized for the wait and we ordered the Mayan Sun. As you would imagine, it took a bit for our drink to come up but when it did, the barista was incredibly apologetic for the wait. But oh boy... It was delicious! My boyfriend isn't huge on coffee but he was a huge fan of this. He couldn't stop saying how good it was on the way back. I've never felt so happy after leaving a coffee shop. This is a real gem in Mankato and it's unfortunate I can't come here all the time. Next time I'm in town, I'll definitely make a stop here. Unless you're a bitter and overall horrible person, there's no way you wouldn't like it here. Great environment, great service, and great coffee! I highly recommend! read more

Love this place. I try to stop here wherever I have a work day in Mankato. Delicious coffee and food. Friendly vibe. And lots of seats, often with outlets, to get work done. Also very easy to find: right on one of the corners of the main drag, Riverfront. read more

The best place to get coffee in Mankato!! Place has a groovy feel. Also I love their breakfast burritos.

Don't think I've ever gotten a mocha in a pint glass before. Sorta unfortunate that it wasn't hot enough to be too hot for the glass. Also didn't taste much different than the Cubano my husband ordered. Much more of a latte than a mocha. And get here early if you are hungry. They ran out of hot breakfast sandwiches by 9:30am on Saturday read more

I love this coffee shop. Experienced staff and great coffee. I Ben had a staff member sing to me when I got my free coffee!!

Would escape from New Ulm and come here back in the aughts (2000s) to get some coffee and chill out. Ten years later, I'm back in the area and enjoying their coffee again. Haven't been there since they remodeled recently, but I'm sure I'll go back when I need another dose of the artsy-hipster vibe. I also should keep track of their live music a little better. Sorry to say I've missed a few groups that I think I would have liked. read more

I've been here a few times and it's the only coffee shop where I've been able to sit comfortably for hours at a time. Good coffee, and a neat atmosphere make this place one of my favorites. I really wish I could find somewhere like this place locally. I tried one of their $ .75 cookies and now I'm obsessed. read more

This place has an awesome atmosphere to it. The best of Mankato and the surrounding area. My band as well as myself solo used to play there from time to time too and it's an awesome place for live music or just chilling...good coffee and yummy snacks. I miss this place!! read more

The Coffee Hag isn't my favorite. First time visiting the Hag and I got a lukewarm latte, the internet was not working, which was problematic when trying to complete homework, and the atmosphere wasn't my favorite. The staff was friendly, but when on the hunt for a great espresso beverage, I wouldn't recommend. read more

The Coffee Hag is everything you want in a coffee shop. They have great coffee, espresso, and teas, delicious baked goods, a friendly staff, and the cool funky-chic atmosphere is like nowhere else. It's the best place in town to do all the homework you've been putting off, or just to hang out with friends. read more

Wonderful ambiance, the best coffee and the service cannot be beat! Locally owned!!

Staff is wonderful and atmosphere is very welcoming. Food and treats taste great and are always homemade. They frequently have live music here as well. The renovations they recently did really upped their game too. Great place to meet with friends/family. read more

I love the Coffee Hag, but not necessarily for the coffee. The old-town atmosphere and friendly staff pretty much make the Hag what it is--a nice little community gathering place. The coffee is decent, but clearly not their focus (the slogan on their cards emphasizes music, art and soul). The food is pretty good, with a couple vegan-specified items (but never any vegan bakery that I've seen). There's a new local artist featured every month, along with live music/variety shows frequently. Well-worth checking out! read more

After a play at the local Lincoln Community Center, we were needing a good cup of coffee to close out the evening. Luckily we found this place online and Apple Maps took us right to it. The place is in a great old building right on a Main Street. Classic roof lines with some great interior decorating make it very inviting. We pulled up a couch and had a great evening cup of Hag! Love the friendly staff working and appreciated the iPad register way to pay. Definitely worth the side trip off 169 next time we are passing through on the way to the Twin Cities also! read more

Love the Hag. A highlight of every visit to Mankato from my hometown of Houston. Great place to hang out and chill with a book, a scone, a coffee and a friend. read more

There really is nothing bad to say about the coffee hag! I recommend a hot Bees Knees or an iced Mayan Sun. They just had a huge renovation and it's really lovely! read more

This place is always a pleasure. The Drinks are delicious. Their practices are Ethically sound. It Supports local business, supports organic foods, and supports social equality. There needs to be more places like it! read more

See all

The best part about the Hag is the environment and ambiance. If I needed a place to escape the noise of campus and relax, focus on some homework, and have good coffee, this was the place. The staff was always friendly and the bakery items were memorable and great tasting! Live music is always fun and if you find yourself wanting to remember your weekend for once instead of blacking out from 2-for-1s, stop here! read more

I love this place for coffee and for lunch. Their cashew and curry egg salad sandwiches are delicious. In the summer, they also we've lavender lemonade which was new to me and so tasty. It's one of few vegetarian/vegan places in Mankato, and the new remodel makes the place less shabby but still cozy. The owners and staff are very friendly and go out of their way to welcome LGBTQ clientele. read more

It was an overall good experience. Very cute place.

This place is great! Awesome coffee and quiche and a great atmosphere. Really able to just relax, have some good food and get things done.

Great coffee, great food, and great atmosphere. The Hag is like a little Mecca for art and culture in a white washed town. It's a fantastic locally owned business that I recommend whole heartedly. read more

This is my favorite place to have coffee in Mankato. The service is great, everyone is always friendly. It's just an overall nice atmosphere. I also love all the cool art they have. Oh and of course, the coffee and food is delicious. I LOVE THE HAG. read more

Amazing bakery items. My strawberry scone had lots of fruit. The coffee was well brewed and delicious. The Americano was flat but the hot chocolate was smooth and rich. read more

Good coffee, good bakery items, and a very nice atmosphere. Usually very busy so good luck trying to find a place to sit!

Chill coffee place with live music. Oh my sweet lord, I could sink in and sleep on their comfy arm chair after the delicious coffee, wouldn't that be a dream! read more

Expensive, as most coffee establishments are, but at Coffee Hag you're getting a unique handcrafted beverage and homemade bakery items. Try the Bee's Knee's latte. The environment is relaxing, and there is always a seat in the house. read more

The Coffee Hag has the best coffee-shop ambience in the Mankato area. It's genuine and ever-changing. Most weekend nights feature live local music, and local artists frequently showcase artwork on the store's walls. The staff is always extremely friendly. The Internet connection is pretty solid, so it is a good environment for getting some work done. What shines on their menu is their homemade treats and food items. Their coffee is pretty good, but some specialty drinks can be too sweet. read more

Coffee is not very good. The humus plate is amazing as are the scones.

The coffee and tea are good here, but the real draw is the people. Jenn's staff will bend over backwards to make you feel welcome.

Really enjoyed my experience there. Great coffee and breakfast burrito was good size for a great price. The only thing I didn't like was it felt a little cramped but I guess most coffee shops do.. read more

Awesome location, food, and drink. Inviting place with friendly staff. I've never had a bad experience here and I highly recommend it.

I like the 'everybody is welcome atmosphere.' I love the different variety of coffees. But when I overheard them say "that's the religious guy" I realize they would prefer me not to come anymore. I don't discriminate. But it's their business and if they want to I will respect their wish. All because I have a different religious point of view. I accept them, but yet they are not of me. I'm hurt but you can get coffee anywhere. read more

The food here is amazing. And I couldn't disagree more with the previous posting. I find the espresso to be incredibly smooth, and artfully drawn. I think it's the best in Mankato. And the owners? Jenn and Beth are two of the most welcoming and genuine people I know. The Hag is one of Mankato's greatest treasures. read more

I usually stop here when I'm in Mankato. They have a great atmosphere, excellent coffee and it's in a convenient location. However, it is definitely expensive. But if you don't mind paying $8 for a muffin and an Americano... read more

Such awesome staff here! I come here often to work on school work and other times just to have a nice coffee.

Love this place! It's an awesome place to meet up with friends and chill. It always has amazing art, and I love the live music.

my friends and i stumbled upon this place while passing through. we were kind of lost, looking for wireless and coffee, so this place was like the holy grail. i was kind of sleep-deprived, but i had a good sandwich, and the bathrooms were awesome, i think... read more
