They have a good selection of chilled canned drinks as well plus some food items like yogurt. The space is wonderfully diverse in terms of seating. They had the front window open to the street where you can sit. Inside is an area where people can sit with their kids. The service was very friendly and helpful. The vibe is warm and very welcoming. Know that their baked goods come from Duluth Best Bread which does not always deliver like after a holiday. Parking in a small lot behind the building or on the street.

190 Coffee & Tea is such a gem in Duluth. Definitely a must stop if you're in the area…read more The space is so cozy with plenty of seating, which makes it easy to settle in for a bit. It has that welcoming, open window feel where you can grab a drink to go or sit and relax. They've clearly put thought into making it inviting. The coffee is excellent. I ordered a vanilla latte and it was super smooth with the perfect amount of flavor. I love that they make some of their syrups in house, you can really taste the difference. It feels thoughtful and high quality. The staff is friendly, patient, and helpful with recommendations. Overall just a really pleasant experience from start to finish. Such a great spot to hang out, grab a drink, and explore the nearby shops. I'd absolutely go back.

I got a matcha latte made with oat milk and a bit disappointed it was too sweet, I did add vanilla flavoring into it and that might've been too much.

Empire Coffee was on a few folks' recommendations for Superior, WI, so I thought I'd give it a try…read more It was worth the try! It appears as a small shop in the mix of a "Main Street" style line of buildings but once inside, it's spacious and cozy. Today there was a live performing artist playing and singing in the front of the shop. He was great! It added some really decent ambiance to the coffeehouse. I asked the baristas to make a flavored mocha they'd recommend. They served it up and it was delicious. A little nutty and a little sweet! It could have been just a touch hotter, but I'll know to request that next time. There were two baristas and they were both very pleasant and friendly even though they were a little swamped. I'd definitely go back and have another coffee here, and sit in one of the cushioned seats to enjoy the music if that were going on again!

Coffee, tea,…read morerefreshers, dirty sodas, etc. I did want a coffee so I ordered an Aztec latte which was dark chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon. They also have some bakery items like cookies and muffins. They were out of cinnamon rolls but it was late in day. I got a pumpkin bread from the fridge and it was so good. Oh and they have açaí bowls as well. My latte was good EXCEPT I feel like they used cinnamon powder instead of the actual cinnamon syrup. I have had this same combo at other coffee shoes and also make my own at home. I was disappointed because I do not like the taste of cinnamon powder. They may have used the syrup as well the powder but I could not taste it as the drink itself was so more tart than sweet. This combo of syrups is very sweet which is why I ordered it. I do plan on being back to try out their other coffee options as well as refreshers. Lots of seating available as well.

Personally I could go for more maple in it, but I like them sweet. Lots of little bites and merch/mugs to look at (or buy). I like the dark interior aesthetic, it goes really nicely with the wooden shelves and potted plants they've got goin on. Small space but I believe the cafe part is right next door. Also apparently dogs are allowed.

The…read morepeople working there were super nice Maybe it is personal preference, we did not like their coffee at all. Not sure where the beans come from -- it was "good" coffee, lots of single ingredients, Wich I always appreciate. but my fiancé and I could barely drink our Colombian cold brew. it is fine coffee, it just was not our style. But, if you do like their coffee, the spot has a nice vibe. The breakfast sandwich is super underwhelming. BUT THEIR YOUGRT BOWL IS SO GOOD!! If you do go here, you have to get it!! The granola is obviously home made, and the blueberry compote with the lemon zest is so good!

They had a huge variety of pastries and breads and I went with a Caramel Pecan Roll and a Ham & Cheese Croissant, both very yummy tho the roll could've easily been shared by one or two more people. I also got a Caramel Latte which I didn't have high hopes for because this place looked like primarily a bakery but I was pleasantly surprised, it was decently good. I will certainly stop here again if I am ever in need of a baked good in Duluth but there were a couple "We can refuse service to anyone" signs that gave a slightly weird vibe to an otherwise warm and friendly looking place.

Best donuts ever…read more Stopped by just after 11 on a Saturday and there were a good number of donuts left, including their banana split donut! Get that. It's unique, it's amazing, and I happen to love bananas. The counter lady told us they have the best cream cheese frosting anywhere. We vote it second best, and that's a really high compliment from my crew. Everything was SO good. Everything. I think I tried 4 types of pastries.

So I got the Apple fritter also as my back up . I asked for a coffee, but they only had drip so I was like yeah this is a special day. No thanks to the coffee. So we weren't feeling too good about what we got from the bakery . We could tell that she really was more of a commercial baker so I really wasn't sure what we're going to get. So I tore a chunk of the apple fritter off, and I was blown away . It was the best apple fritter I've ever had in my entire life. Later that night, I decided to try the maple long John despite the fact that there's custard inside it . It was the best efffing donut I've ever had . I hate custard - but this custard was light and creamy and zero greasy after taste. I will think of these donuts for the rest of my life and all others will fall short.

But after a week of drinking his coffee, we are admittedly bias about the guy. To be clear, we've never met the man we are just punch drunk after a week of bliss and this was on DECAF!! I can't wait to see what the regular tastes like! I had a can of his decaf for over a year now but I'm not a decaf drinker, so it just sat in the cupboard until this week. Almanac's Decaf is better than most regular coffees I've had....I may end up reducing my caffeine intake because I prefer the taste over most coffees I've had. I understand taste us subjective, for reference I'm a Nina's and Amore, in St. Paul, as well as a Spyhouse and Five Watt Minneapolis guy, if that helps. Just ordered 2.5lbs of decaf, some regular Honduras, and a sampler pack. I've never 'ordered' coffee online before, but I absolutely have to have more of this decaf, it's that good! If you're looking for an amazing decaf I can definitely recommend Almanac's Decaf....the only negative was not trying it a year ago. Cheers!
