    This place is so cute and lots of space! Found this spot when waltzing out of Hazel's and wanting more than black diner coffee. So many options! There is a lot on the regular menu plus there are fun seasonal drinks as well. Also an aqesome food and pastry menu. Staff are always friendly and fast. Love coming here when I'm in the area.

    This was a cute little shop in northeast Minneapolis. They have the regular array of espresso drinks, plus six or seven signature drinks such as the Mangler, with cold press, espresso and cream and the killer chai with chocolate and almond. The Coffee Shop NE also had some seasonal drinks when I visited, in celebration of the State Fair such as the Mini Doughnut Latte and the Sweet Martha. Plus, they had flavored milks such as root beer, blueberry and strawberry. It's a good stop for caffeination if you're already visiting Sarah Jane's Bakery across the street!

    I should have taken a picture of the sandwich but it was so delicious I completely forgot. It was also very filling which is unusual for most breakfast sandwiches! I also got an iced latte which was just the best. The barista that took my order was so nice, we had a long conversation about tattoos! The interior has lots of seating available. You can either sit at one of the few tables out front (which is where I sat) or you can snag a table in the back portion of the building. When I was there it was pretty busy but everyone was still able to find a table. The art work and signs in the bathroom made me chuckle.

    Came across this coffee shop and decided to do lunch to gosh I had the mozzarella and tomato sandwich . As I waited I took a seat in some of the few seats that were in the front section of the building. My order came right out and they told me to not forget to grab a fruit and a chip bag which I was surprised about. That just shows I didn't read the menu closely but hey I came out with a ruffles chips bag and an apple that I'm sure was a honey crisp because it was so juicy ! Honestly having this lunch on a Sunday made me have a great rest of my day. I felt the meal was very balanced and staff was very friendly! I noticed in display they had really appetizing slices of cake which I'm determined to get next time I'm here. Parking is very tricky here I'll say that, but I was very fortunate to find parking right in front of the building. The space looks pretty big in the back so it can accommodate a big group.

    The lovely window/entrance.

    What a lovely coffee shop! Just as the coffee sleeve says, The Coffee Shop NE's coffee is "made with love" and it shows! The coffee and food is delicious! I enjoyed a cup of Costa Rica blend and an Eggel with sausage on a Croissant since they were out of bagels by 9am on a Thursday. I also enjoyed a slice of pumpkin bread, too! The cafe is cozy and comfy, quiet too, a perfect place to refresh. There are no hassles with parking too, since there's an attached parking lot at this establishment.! LOVE!

    A very unique area of NE where the entire street is packed with vintage shops and overall positive vibes. The Coffee Shop NE surprised me on a Friday afternoon with nonstop customers. To me, this brought so much joy seeing a local business thrive. What makes this shop unique is the hybrid model of a breakfast restaurant as there are larger variations of food served (think egg sandwiches or lunch sandwiches, soups, grain bowls, etc.) and then a plethora of coffee and non coffee options such as ice teas and Italian sodas. The staff was far from short staffed as there were 6-7 employees working behind the register making food and drinks. The egg bagel sandwich hit home along with the classic cold press (CP) a maple soy mix. Yummy! If you dine in, you will get a number and the food will be brought to your table. There is also lots of fun merchandise to purchase such as coffee mugs, tumblers and coffee beans. There is a medium sized parking lot near the side of the building that is shared for all the surrounding shops. I wasn't able to snag one so I grabbed street parking a few blocks up. I look forward to returning again!

    Have you ever walked into a coffee shop & been intimidated by the choices? And while reading the coffee menu get an major attitude from the barista? Well-don't expect that HERE at The Coffee Shop NE! My female Barista was friendly and efficient-helping me to find the perfect coffee drink: A blended latte with a shot of mint and topped with whipped cream. Thank you Coffee Shop NE! Next time I will try something new (and hopefully as wonderful as the blended latte).

    Such a great spot located amongst a grouping of small businesses in NE! If you are having a day, go get a slice of cake. It is AMAZING!!! This small shop has a great range of hours and full breakfast/lunch menu. Truly something for everyone at this shop. Highly recommend stopping in and staying a while. People are coming and going throughout the day making it a great spot to get some work done.

    The Mangler (Iced with Caramel, to-go) - food is the Cauliflower Al Pastor Taco from the Fare Game food truck down the street

The staff was very attentive and felt like I had everything necessary. The crab Rangoon croissant was flaky, layered, and had the balanced salty & savory filling. The vegetarian egg sandwich with pickled mustard greens was the best. The eggs were fluffy, seasoned well, and balanced great with the croissant. Coconut pandan croissant - not too sweet, beautiful, and flaky. DIANE'S HMONG SAUSAGE with sticky rice - crunchy, chewy, spicy, and sweet. Another favorite of mine. Diane's coffee was also amazing, oat milk and half and half were offered.

    I've been wanting to visiting for a while and lucky me, I got to visit for brunch twice this month…read more The food both times was really good. Dianes Hmong Sausage - if you get the egg you can have it prepared anyway, I went for medium over easy. Crab Ragoon Danish- it was good, but for me the concentration of the crab ragoon in the center made some bites a bit poweful. Asian Chicken Noodle Soup- that broth is amazing. It's rich and hearty (not at all watery). Thai Tea French Toast- my friend and I shared, this along with everything listed below. Its so good and 1pc was more than enough. Also, I'm not a raspberry fan, but that tartness went so well with sweetness. Vegetable Spring Rolls- tasty and the peanut sauce reminded me more of a sweet and sour sauce which I liked. Crab Omelette- I only had a bite, but the egg light, the sauce rich and creamy, and the greens had a bit of mint that was a nice touch. Pan Fried Bean Thread Noodle - I was so stuffed, but the few bites were good. It was a little saucy, and the sauce a bit powerful. I don't know if was fish sauce or something else. I normally like fish sauce, but if that's what it didn't work for me here. Other things to note: Parking - I found myself having to spin the block for a bit to find a spot. No biggie, but keep that in mind as you plan your commute. Entrance - I noticed 3 doors along 14th Ave, one is for the To-Go section, the other two are for the Dine-in, which includes bar seating, table seating inside and outside. Service - both times, servers were overall polite. With the second visit I noticed the waiter focused a lot on my friend, how she enjoyed her meal (didn't ask me), facing her only when introducing himself and explaining the specials. And no he wasn't being flirtatious, just selective perhaps. Anyway, I'd definitely recommend it and look forward to returning to try dinner sooner than later.

Although it is mostly popular with a younger, well-to-do crowd, the owners make an effort to contribute to social justice through anti-ICE organizing, free hygeine supplies in gender-neutral bathrooms, etc. It gets super busy during the Saturday brunch hours, so be prepared to wait a bit! We were lucky and got a table quickly but it was very crowded and loud for a bit. They seemed a bit short-staffed, too, although everyone we encountered was still friendly and helpful. The food and drinks are superb! The portions are on the smaller side but they're actually priced accordingly, which is rare these days. We highly enjoyed the waffle and the pork cutie.

Order at the bar, take a number, and sit down. Cozy quaint interior. I love that they are creative with their menu and rotate items. Some things can be hit or miss based on personal tastes, but overall the food is crafted skillfully and with care! My favorite breakfast sandwich is the Chefs Special Cutie! I've tried most of them! The Lily Tomlin is also something I would typically love (like a Monte Cristo) but the garlic completes too much with the marmalade. My partner also thoroughly enjoyed the creamy Chai Tea in a ceramic cup! Residential street parking, but not too hard to find a spot.

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 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.

Good lighting and not too loud. They have all of the usual coffee options as well as several of their own concoctions.

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.

The barista quickly assembled my large maple latte in an orange-yellow mug with that apple fritter that was calling my name, plus a large breakfast burrito. The burrito was more like an enclosed panini with sides of salsa and sour cream. While I ate 2/3rds of it, I cannot say that I enjoyed it all that much, especially for the $13 price. On the other hand, the maple latte and apple fritter were divine, if a little over-priced (although, what isn't, nowadays?).
