Loyalty Rewards Card
Deanie H.

I love Dogwood coffee. I usually get a maple latte (or venture to try one of their seasonal drinks) a with their bear hug roast. So so good! As a fan, I also appreciate their loyalty rewards program: buy 10 drinks, get 1 free.

I like Dogwood Coffee, and was SO excited when they opened this location two blocks from my house. Good coffee, nice staff. I particularly like their speciality Marc Heu pastry that they do on the weekends. This location is pretty spacious and has cheerful decor; I've brought my laptop and worked from here many times. Giving 4 stars because 1) they're slow. The light rail is across the street -- if you're trying to get a coffee before you catch the light rail, don't. You'll likely miss your train bc of the wait. 2) Expensive. I can't get an americano here everyday because I'd go bankrupt. Nice as a sometimes treat, though!

They are a closed business. We took a long walk to this coffee shop and there is no sign of life.

Cute area to stop in to get some work done or even catch up with a friend. Love the outdoor area the most as it's spacious. Lots of room for parking

I came here for a Fluffy Bakery pop-up (scored one of their Browned Butter Date donuts, too-score!), and I am so glad that I did. This coffee shop hit all the right notes--the decor was great with a blend of chic (dark wood and beautiful seating) and playful (that wallpaper, though!). Great indoor and outdoor seating options for parties of all sizes. I was really impressed with the selection of beverages. They had all the classic coffeehouse favorites plus some fun others, as well as an above average set of options for customization (they offer maple syrup as a sweetener!). I grabbed a cappuccino (almond milk and maple syrup), and it went down oh so well. Fantastic, friendly service (I needed some help choosing my second pastry), too! The only downside here is that parking is a little bit tight, so you might need to walk a couple of blocks.

Cafe Latte with Oat Milk
Brooke I.

Tried a couple of drinks here. Both the hot oat milk cafe latte and oat milk matcha latte were delicious treats on a chilly winter morning. I also thoroughly enjoyed their raisin pastry. I heated it for a couple seconds in the microwave (at home) and it was buttery and light. An A+ breakfast. The interior of the cafe was well decorated and had plenty of spaces to hang out with friends or work independently. The staff were also super friendly and got the drink orders out quickly. It looks like the partner with other local businesses as well, which was cool. They were selling Niko Niko boba and some food items in the refrigerated section by the register. I imagine if I lived in this building, I'd be coming here quite often. Def recommend giving this place a visit!

Love this cafe! They recently moved from their old St Paul location to this more brightly lit, spacious spot. I love their cold brew and latte, and I believe they also sell pastries from Marc Heu. Service is always friendly and welcoming. Parking is street only but it's relatively easy to find. They have outlets throughout the cafe as well for anyone looking to get work done.

Amazing place, amazing coffee. One of the best places in Minneapolis & St. Paul. Great prices & good atmosphere.

Brown sugar cardamom latte was delicious!! Busy but great service
Katie O.

Great service and delicious drinks! Busy which is great but would not recommend as a remote work location. A little loud.

Iced latte
Jordan M.

Great service and ambiance! The lattes were good and service was quick. I would go back

Spumoni on the left and salted maple on the right.
Abigail C.

First, a decent amount of parking and designated pickup 15min parking spot. The interior, open and large- room to get work done! The coffee, the spumoni has a slightly off flavor, I was getting some cinnamon notes and the description online didn't mention cinnamon (6/10, wouldn't order again), also woodsy notes and slight almost Smokey flavor. The salted maple cold foam nitro had fruity notes and a good flavor- it just seemed watered down, definitely not what I think of when something says nitro (7/10, if it was stronger it would be better).

Iced vanilla latte
Michaela S.

Great coffee, spacious, and friendly staff. I love Dogwood coffee. The teas and coffees are great. If you're dining in I recommend coming early as it gets busy during the later morning (especially seats with outlets).

A fan of the NE location, I was ecstatic to test out the newly moved location to University and I am proud to announce that the same great service and quality of products (merchandise, coffee beans, menu) remains identical to the other locations minus good parking. Should you take the light rail, this is an amazing location to exit and walk across the street. Contrary, if you drive, be prepared to walk a few blocks if not more. I wasn't strapped for time today, so parking was no issue. Contrary, this would be a messy location if time wasn't on my side. None the less, the University location is gorgeously spacious. There is a plethora of seating including funky booths, a bar, cute tables and a larger exterior patio. Unlike the NE location, you can totally come here with a large group and know that seating will be available. The barista mentioned they are awaiting their liquor license and if it passes, they will serve wine and beer. My favorite drink ever is the seasonal Beach Please and I'm so happy it continues to be on the menu. Best of luck in your new location, Dogwood!

Great place to meet, study, play chess, and get Caffeinated at Dogwood Coffee Co, 825 Carlton St, St. Paul.

It's been a few years since I've visited Lori's. Now that it's finally merged with Mim's into one…read morebig multi-room establishment there is still a separate identity for Lori's. The polished hardwood floors and wood tables and large windows give it a modern sleek look which seems to be the trend for coffee bars motif in this decade. This is a huge improvement from the old Lori's. I did have my usual brewed of dark roast and found it one of the best. I actually complimented the barista on the roast who didn't reveal any secrets but did say, "we make it strong". If you haven't been here for awhile give it a try as it's a perfect place for studying, working or just contemplating your life so far. This is more of a walk up place so there is no parking lot and since this is across from the campus you'll have to park well down the block of the many neighborhood street to the West. **Still great coffee but no longer good selection of pastries and fresh baked cookies. Barista, not the nice lady but heavy set man made insensitive comment.

Here's what I love about Lori's: 1. It's an affordable, local small business that's essentially "on campus." I'd much rather spend my money here than on the overpriced coffee in the student center. 2. It's a community hub. People come here to share time with neighbors and classmates. There are plenty of regulars and the staff gets to know you and won't hesitate to pull out some recent photo and tell you a story. 3. THE SOUP. They have homemade soup every day for $3 (includes two slices of bread). They only cycle about two different kinds, but it's SO cheap and filling and wonderful on a cold winter day. When I forget my lunch, this is my go-to. 4. Patio/Seating/Mim's. It's attached to Mim's on the left (so you can get food AND coffee) and a large extra seating area on the right. It's a great place to cozy up and read. Also the patio is really nice in the summer, you can sit out on the lawn in the sunshine and watch people going about their business. I am very grateful for my reliable soup spot, and for cheap coffee on those cold mornings when you just can't wake yourself up. Thanks, Lori's!

Food 5/5: I got the grandmas house latte and an everything bagel with garlic and herb cream cheese. The latte was well blended and overall very smooth. The bagel was very flavor full and I really liked the flavor combo between the bagel and cream cheese. Service 5/5: overall the staff was efficient and friendly Ambiance 5/5: the vaulted ceilings yet cozy aesthetic makes this place very visually pleasing.

The service was wonderful! Everyone was so nice! When my boyfriend tried his drink, it just didn't taste right (iced vanilla latte with 4 shots of espresso) They remade it and were very apologetic! The drinks: I got an iced grandmas house with oat milk! There is no up charge for oatmilk! My wallet and stomach appreciated that! The flavor was really good! Unfortunately even with the remake, there seemed to be something off about my boyfriend's drink... I asked for them to take the vanilla out, thinking maybe be it was the syrup. But it just wasn't good. We were also hoping to get the pizza that was there but they only had slices, not a full pie. It was disappointing. Overall this is a nice coffee shop

The menu is a Scandinavian theme. The breakfast and brunch are especially popular.They have items like pastries, quiche, wild rice soup, and unique dishes like Finnish-style French toast or sausage-based specialties. Portions are generous, and the baked goods are consistently praised as a highlight. I had the PULLA cinnamon roll,lemon white chocolate muffin and a lucky bun which was all suggested by Kayla who greeted me with a smile.The other employees were very helpful also and gave me the entire run down of their cafe. I was also encouraged to try the Kringler.I tried it with whole milk.I could tell coffee is their strong point.My drink was fantastic.The hints of cardamom all through the food was perfect! This place is laid back but they do bring it when it comes to good food.I will be back to try more of their breakfast menu!

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.

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.
