Excellent place to start your day!…read more If I lived in Minneapolis, this is where I would want to start my mornings. Mojo Coffee has a wonderfully inviting atmosphere and kind staff. The espresso and baked goods are excellent, and the pleasant laidback atmosphere is so welcoming that we were in no rush to leave. I could imagine just hanging out and reading a book. We will certainly return the next time we are in Minneapolis!

I spent a couple of hours at Walden's Coffee on a Tuesday afternoon getting some work done and…read morereally enjoyed the space! It's surprisingly large inside, with tons of natural light and a mix of couches and tables that could accommodate anything from one person with a laptop to groups of 7-8. It was fairly busy for a Tuesday afternoon but never felt uncomfortable. It's also dog-friendly, and I loved the little container of dog treats by the entrance! I ordered the Peaches & Cream Cold Brew and really enjoyed it. It wasn't overly sweet, and the ratio of cold brew to the peachy cream/foam on top was just right. They also had pastries, sandwiches, and other food options that seemed pretty reasonably priced for the area. Another big plus is the convenient parking right across the street, and there are several other places within walking distance if you want to grab food afterward. Outdoor seating is pretty limited (I only noticed one table) so I'd primarily come here for the indoor space. The baristas were friendly, the atmosphere was comfortable, and it was an easy place to settle in for a couple of hours. Definitely a Northeast coffee shop I'd come back to!

We went to Yellowbird on a Monday morning around 11:15. There is a large seating area which was…read moreabout half full, so it is a popular place - and I can see why! Good lighting and not too loud. They have all of the usual coffee options as well as several of their own concoctions. They have pastries as well as more hearty options like breakfast burritos, although when we went they were out of burritos, probably because we were there so late. They have several gluten free items, and vegan items. It looks like everything that can be sourced locally is local, and they have the providers listed on the menu. They are obviously very socially and environmentally conscious. The servers were very friendly. I had a cold press with cream which was excellent, exactly what I hoped it would be, good coffee flavor. Next time I would probably ask for less cream, but it is real cream. I also had the morning bun which was very good. It was like a cinnamon roll that was also rolled in cinnamon and sugar on the outside. My partner had a red eye which was dark roast and espresso with cream. He liked it very much. He also had a ham and cheese croissant and an apple fritter, both of which were very good. Parking is street parking which wasn't a problem when we were there but may be a problem at busier times. The interior is handicapped friendly, but again parking could be an issue. We loved it and will definitely be back.

By looking at the picture you can probably tell it wasn't a good coffee. Genuinely confused how a…read moreshop can sell coffee like this. I had hopes because they make their syrups in house but it was not good. Oh and it was $7.90 for this which if it was good I wouldn't have cared but to charge that much when your coffee looks like this is kinda insane.

I've had the matcha, a flavored latte, and even the baked goods. Normally I just get to-go, but there are couches and tables for people to sit at. There is free street parking as well which we love!

We ordered gochujang latte and lychee matcha. Both are interesting and good. Sandwich are filling and sizable. Wish they have stocked with silverware as the sandwich could get messy. We went ahead and used chopsticks Lovely place and will stop by again and again

this place is unlike any other coffee shop for all the right reasons…read more cheap prices? check neighbor hood vibe? double check cute and quirky? oh yes. they offer DOLLAR coffees. yes, you heard me right. keep in mind this is a small cafe, hence the name, so it's not really a spot where a lot of people can go at once to camp out and spend a bunch of time on their laptops etc, which is fine because there are plenty of other places for that. they have a small bar with a row of a few stools that is fun to sit at and puts you right next to the baristas as they move about keeping everything going. there's a "main table with a side table facing the window and street that has nice natural light on sunny days and would be a good nook to occupy for a spell. i got a can of kombucha, energy bar, and ice americano for $9, a price substantially less than i expected. i see why this place is an institution. i will be back, and encourage checking it out if nothing else for the experience. you may want to come back too!!

Matchbox is one of my favorite coffee spots in Northeast Minneapolis. True to its name, it's…read moredefinitely tiny, but that's part of the charm. There's limited seating, so it's not really a place I camp out and work (but you could! I just don't!), but the cozy atmosphere makes it feel welcoming every time I stop in. The baristas are always kind and friendly, and their cold brew lattes are consistently so good. It's the kind of neighborhood coffee shop that keeps you coming back.

Have been to the other Dogwood locations but this was my first time at their location in NE and is…read moreeasily my new favorite of the 3! They have a huge indoor and outdoor seating area and the patio is dog friendly - which was great to bring my god (they had water bowls and all). They also roast their beans here, so it's very cool to see that as well A few girlfriends and I sat outside on a beautiful Friday morning and enjoyed coffee and catching up. We ended up all getting one of the seasonal specials the spumoni (lavender honey latte) and we all really enjoyed our drink. They also have a wide variety of pastries from if you local spots including Marc Heu, which is awesome as going to the actual location can be a bit of a nightmare with long lines. The barista were all very friendly and were churning out orders quickly. There is some construction going on in the area right now so you do have to loop around a little bit which is a little confusing, but there is a huge parking lot with tons of available parking Another huge perk as it is also on the coffee compass pass - I'm already planning to go back tomorrow to use that BOGO deal :)

I stopped by during Art-A-Whirl and my first thought when I got closer was "I made a mistake, this…read morewas a bad decision" because of the crowd of people walking all over and the traffic. I can't be more thankful that they have dedicated customer parking only spots right out front because I would have skipped altogether if I couldn't find parking. Love that they have an accessible ramp, a spacious patio with some outdoor seating, really spacious indoor seating and clean bathrooms. Staff was friendly and despite the constant stream of new customers they were so fast and efficient in getting everything out quickly. Coffee was good, the chocolate chip cookie by Marc Heu was a bit disappointing though (that's not a Dogwood issue though) it just a want chocolate chip cookie-ing. Reasonable prices, friendly staff and dedicated parking is a win in my book. Also love that they partner with Sweet Renaissance for special drinks for the month.

I walked to this place before a nail appointment and wow was a glad to find them!!…read more There is paid street parking all around. Walking in the first thing that you'll notice is how high the ceilings are. It really makes this space feel open. There are plenty of windows that make the space feel bright. The decor here felt very cozy. The staff was extremely nice. By the checkout area, there is a community pantry, which I thought was really great. No need to pay for anything at the pantry. Just take what you need. I got an iced coconut cream latte and it was spectacular! They also had a seasonal pastry that was rhubarb and pomegranate. It was very bright and tasty! I saw a lot of people here studying and also meeting for coffee dates. This was an awesome space and I will happily be back!

They serve Somali tea, coffee, and a variety of sweets and treats. Service was helpful at the counter, but not especially quick for food/drink service. They do crepes specifically, so we had to get one! It came rolled up which was delish, with cookie butter and Biscoff cookie topping. We got the Somali tea and coffee, and it was delish but quite sweet - I'll ask for less sugar next time. The star was the Nafaqo: hard boiled egg inside a seasoned potato patty - our first time trying it and so good! Hearty and filling.

I ordered a strawberry matcha which was good. They do use a thicker strawberry jam but I don't mind it personally. My mom got the Somali coffee and enjoyed it. Service was a bit slow, we waited a little over 15 minutes for our drinks. It's pretty cozy, there were a bit of people there working, meeting or just enjoying coffee. Parking in this area is interesting. If you can't find a street spot (which is likely) there a ramp across the street (about 1/2 block walk).

This location is a little hard to find initially because it's located off the street between two…read morebuildings. The space itself is enormous with a clean, modern Scandinavian aesthetic. It gets an incredible amount of natural light, which makes it a pleasant place to spend some time. I also loved that it's dog friendly. The seating, however, is a bit of a mixed bag. There's a decent amount of it, but it's not really comfortable and it feels like there's plenty of room to add more seating throughout the space. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made for a great first impression. The menu is a little limited, but what I had was excellent. I ordered the light roast coffee and it was super good. I was also happy to see they carry Cardigan Donuts. If you have not had one before, they are absolutely worth trying! The biggest drawback for me was the WiFi. It was so unreliable that it made getting work done almost impossible, which is a pretty significant downside for a coffee shop. Overall, I enjoyed the coffee, the atmosphere, and the friendly staff, but the limited menu, somewhat uncomfortable seating, and especially the poor WiFi kept this from becoming one of my go to coffee shops.

I had a hard time selecting a place to sit since I wanted to sit in many of the places. The staff was amazing! I ordered a cortado for here, and it was perfect and gorgeous. I ended up spilling it all over the floor (totally my fault). I went up to order a new one (planning to pay because again..my fault!) and the staff refused to let me pay and even brought me my new drink to the table I was at. Talk about customer service! It was my fault I spilled it and they would not let me help clean it up or buy a new one. Consider me a fan of this place!
