Espresso and baguette
Mike B.

Finally, a local place that knows how to serve an espresso. One of my favorite things to do in a city is go for a walk and stop for a coffee or espresso and maybe a small bite to eat. Today I stumbled upon Razava Bread Co. on Grand Ave in St Paul. I ordered an espresso and a baguette. The espresso was served perfectly in an appropriately sized ceramic cup alongside a shot of seltzer water. As it should be. The baguette was crispy on the outside and light and airy on the inside. It's the closest thing I've found to an actual baguette this side of the Seine. As it should be. The vibe was low-key and neighborly with plenty of seating and windows to let in the morning light. Perfect for people watching and enjoying a slow winter morning. Also, as it should be.

Shakshuka
Michaela S.

This was my first time here and I wish I grabbed some bread for home. I saw everyone getting the Jerusalem bread and I wish I tried it?? I've never heard of it. I had the shakshuka (small) and it was to die for. I've never had it before but after I had it, I wanted to learn how to make it at home because I loved it so much. I wish it came with more bread. I'm sure I could've ordered more but by the time I needed more, the line was incredibly long. I've heard they run out of bagels on the weekends by the late morning so I'd suggest coming early. Seating is limited for this popular neighborhood spot. Also had the bagel with salmon and it was delightful. The outside of the bagel is quite tough but the inside is sooooo soft. Seriously, next time I'm here I'm leaving with stuff for home - including some of that cream cheese.

Nice and spacious inside

Razava is sourdough heaven for those looking for that characteristic tang. I've been there twice, most recently 5/31 (Saturday). They offer great drip coffee and other caffeine-inna-cup, but we come here for bread. I recommend getting their San Francisco and porridge loaves (they even had samples when we were last there). Your mouth will get a workout if you go the bagel route, which most argue that's a good thing (I'm inclined to agree as long as my jaw doesn't hurt afterwards). I recommend the lovely nutty Jerusalem bagel. I'd recommend passing on the tahini biscuits, very chalky. Their shakshuka is just good. I'd love it if they started offering toast flights so we could try all the breads they offer. Bathrooms were clean and shared with the Japanese restaurant next door. Parking is free on street but it can get pretty crowded since it's a popular area.

Iced latte
Brianna L.

This cafe is light and airy with delicioussss bales, bread and coffee! I ordered their smoked salmon bagel, one of their most popular menu items and it was SO GOOD. Literally bursting with flavor. And when I was sitting outside something fell from the sky and plopped in my drink, and they made me a new latte, no questions asked! Indoor & outdoor seating Counter service Light lunch or breakfast Healthy options!

toast with fish and avacado
Molly B.

delicate without being boring. actually, it's wildly tasty for how delicate it is. I love honey walnut shmears but too often are they too sweet - not this one! Food came quickly and it's a pretty location. Gorgeous lighting (as you can tell from the photos) I highly recommend!

Jerusalem bagel with beet-horseradish
Claire L.

Oh we got some competition now on grand avenue! This place is . Service was so quick. Got there at 11am. Jerusalem bagel and cream cheese, chai tea came out within 1 minute of me ordering. Cream cheese and bagel were amazing. Great price. Staff is extremely friendly to the point where the New Yorker in me was suspicious. Can't say enough good things. Super cute interior. If I lived here I definitely would work remotely at one of the tables, or stop by regularly in the mornings for a latte.

Unique bakery! We really enjoyed the bread and the bagels! The jerusalem bagel is sooo big! It was good, and we'll definitely good back!

Razava is an amazing addition to Saint Paul. Their breads and bagels are delicious, and they really nail it on the old-world naturally fermented style. Yes, the crust is thick and chewy, and they bake the loaves darker than other local bakeries -- but in my opinion this puts their flavor and texture a notch above the competition. At the bakery, service is quick and the interior has fun cafe vibes. Get some cookies for the road, too.

Whitefish toast
Maria L.

Razava has been very popular since opening, so be sure to get there early to be sure the items you want to try are available! The Jerusalem bagel with za'atar olive oil and lebnah was so simple yet tasty - the bagel was chewy and the nuttiness paired so well with the tangy cheese and rich oil. The whitefish toast was also fantastic - the bread was not the star in this dish, but the fish and avocado were rich and satisfying. Seating is first come first served, and orders came out quickly from the kitchen. It is really wonderful to have such a lively bakery here in Saint Paul.

Razava House bread. Soft center, very crispy and chewy crust. A little tough for the bread knife and the crumbs were a-flying.
Jenna H.

This review is based on my purchase of a loaf of bread, not a dine-in experience. I walked in on a Friday morning to pick up a loaf of the Razava House bread. The store was clean and there was really nice light in the dining area. The employee who helped me was so friendly and knowledgeable about the different breads for sale. Fresh artisan bread is a frequent indulgence for me and I love a crisp crust with a soft inside. The Razava loaf was definitely more expensive than other options in the area, and came to over $13 with tax. I sliced into it right when I got home, and both my bread knife and my jaw struggled to handle the crust on this beast. I do love a chewy crust, but this one was a little intense. Maybe this one was a bit over done? I may go back to try the bagels or dine-in meals, but when it comes to a loaf of hearty artisan bread, I'll stick with the cheaper options that I can actually chew. This Razava loaf just can't compete with Brake Bread's Batard du Nord and Gateway loaves, or Kowalski's wild rice cranberry.

The cafe was packed on a weekday morning. It's a good thing I was planning on taking a brewed out rather than hanging around. Hot fresh mellow brew and a wide selection of bakery, including hard to find biscotti. The crew was working quickly to keep the orders filled and no one at a table near the counter complained when I was crowded into them from someone rushing in front me..that's how packed it was. As some have mentioned don't expect curbside parking as you may have to walk a block or more from the side streets.

This is a small coffee shop almost to the downtown area. There is neighborhood parking all around(free) just make sure you are reading the signs correctly. As I walked in, it had such a cozy and welcoming feeling. The brick, smell of coffee and people chatting really gave this a classic coffee shop vibe! Almost like being in a book! The service... i asked for my coffee iced and to have oat milk. Neither of those requests were fulfilled. Now, I do like hot coffee, so I didn't complain and I will say the coffee was delicious. The temp was perfect for drinking right away. I am lactose intolerant, so I didn't realize I didn't get my oat milk until after I left if you catch my drift haha. The person taking my order seemed frazzled and wasn't very friendly. I had also ordered another baked goods but I guess she didn't hear because upon checking my receipt, it wasn't listed. It wasn't overly busy, but may be she was new? Not sure, but it did leave a bit of a bad taste for this place. The scone was very tasty and I would recommend getting it warmed up. I would give this place a try again, but it's not a place I plan to visit again soon.

I came in right before closing (like minutes before), but the barista was welcoming, friendly, and recommended the salty dog. It had caramel and chocolate.... I wasn't saying no to this delicious afternoon pick me up. The cozy brick space, friendly atmosphere, and community board gave such a charming St. Paul vibe. I took my coffee to go, but decided right away I'll definitely be back for a December holiday drink or two (eggnog latte and peppermint mocha, I'm coming for you!). HUGE bonus in my book- parking is easy and free as it's street parking.

Give yourself extra time as there is no designated lot. Contrary, there are plenty of street spots but there's no guarantee you'll get a close spot. Exterior- easy to spot! Cute signage and bonus exterior patio and tables during the warm months. inviting plants and lots of commotion with the surrounding shops and restaurants including the co-op. Interior - cozy! Large window allows natural lighting along with a long horizontal bar with plug ins for remote work. Caution: it's small hence the wee name. If you're looking for large and intimate, travel down to West 7th. Drinks - parallel menu to the original shop. All the Irish favorites and more. Iced, hot, whatever you desire. Food - breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and rotating menus. Service - attentive and quick 4 stars due to parking and sadly my iced americano was a little watery today. I'll still be back. Thanks, Wee Claddagh!!

That big dollop of whipped honey on top is unreal. The space itself is great for getting work done.

It can get pretty busy during peak times, so finding a seat can be a little tricky but they have a shared table system where you can grab a card if you're open to sitting with others. It's such a fun, community-focused touch and a great way to meet people or just make space when it's crowded. The staff is super kind and welcoming, which makes it even better.

This place had the vibes to have such a fun crew working and instead we barely even got 2 words for the person who rang us up. The person who made our drinks also had zero interaction. Such a missed opportunity! This is why I removed a star. The coffee: This is one of my new favorite coffees I have ever had! I got an iced whipped honey latte and it was DELICIOUS! The coffee wasn't overly bitter, had good flavor and the whipped honey was definitely a unique treat! Overall, I really did enjoy my time at this coffee shop!
