I have tried many coffee shops in NE and Five Watt is consistently my favorite coffee. I love their…read morebutterscotch latte and the vanilla latte. It gets pretty loud inside and there isn't a ton of natural light so it's not the best place to study, but they do have plenty of seating and space if you don't mind studying in that environment. It's a great place to hang out and catch up with friends. They have outdoor seating in the summer too. The coffee is pricey compared to other shops in the area, but it is so good I keep going back. Even just a cup of plain hot coffee is almost $5. The workers have always been friendly and the coffee comes out quick. Despite the price and atmosphere, it gets a 5 from me solely for the amazing coffee!

Stopped by the Five Watt Coffee E Hennepin location in Northeast Minneapolis, and it did not…read moredisappoint. The vibe here is great--funky, old decor with an industrial-meets-cozy feel, and the music selection is always a hit (not too loud, just vibey). It's a fantastic spot for working or just chilling. I ordered the cortado, and it was exceptional. The baristas definitely have latte art skills, and my drink was prepared beautifully and with care.The staff are super kind, which really adds to the experience. Parking is also a breeze with the adjacent free surface lot which is a plus in Minneapolis. If you're looking for a top-tier espresso drink in a great atmosphere, Five Watt is a must-visit.

I consider Coffee & Tea Ltd to be part of my family as I first started ordering from them in 1975…read more I was in college at IU, Bloomington IN. With working two jobs and studying, coffee became my addiction. Coffee & Tea is the only online store that I have ordered from because I believe the quality, price, friendship, and service has been amazing. This past Christmas, I ordered coffee as gifts on December 7th. On December 10th, I reviewed the package tracking and the package had not yet left the building. On December 15th, I called and since no one answered, I left a message. No one returned my call. Three (3) days later I called again, the same scenario. I submitted an inquiry over the website, again, nothing . I kept reaching out, offering to pay for overnight delivery to get the package before the holidays. I was almost begging for someone to contact me. As a loyal customer, I truly felt betrayed. I received my order on January 5th., 2025, almost a month later. The order wasn't correct, a receipt inside was for the incorrect amount, and the charge was via PayPal. The order placed had already been charged to my bank. The only name on the receipt was Tyler. Wow! Did I not deserve to know, what the world happened for a month, and the reason after numerous contacts, no one contacted me? I was very disheartened! I wonder if Jimmie, the founder even knew that I was calling and messaging online? I placed another order the 1st part of February, and thankfully, Jim who is employed there helped me. He had no idea that I had experienced this and shared his sincere apologies. Jim has not only been kind, caring, and great to offer suggestions, and share stories about the coffee's origin, he deeply cares about the customer. I just don't believe "Jimmie," the owner had any idea what I went through. If anything, I hope this review has brought light on how one feels when they ignored. And, especially from a business that I have had a fond relationship with for 50 years. Debra Egemo Indiana

Look up their website…read morefor more details, you don't need to read my review in which I may mistake exactly their goals and helpful charitable deeds. Overall, solid coffee place. Lots of parking and even more seating. The space itself was great. Don't even get me started on the play area for kids. My wife and I were super surprised when we walked in and there was a whole area for the kid to play! This made our journey here even more enjoyable as we got great coffee and our son got to play with the toy coffee cart. Perhaps it's an advanced training program for youths? They get kids onto playing with the coffee cart to see how good they are and then it's a direct feeder program into becoming a barista? Possibly. Anyways, cappuccino rating: 4/5! Really solid! Dirty chai tea latte: 5/5 for the wife! Play area for the kid: 10/5 he loved it and didn't want to leave! Overall, a great little coffee shop that serves the community beyond just coffee and is a great family place.

You can NEVER get a seat in this place. It's full to the brim with entitled 20 somethings using the tables as their own personal office space. It's shocking to look around and see all of the people at the Lobby that either don't have a drink or food or have long since finished. One person at a fourtop. One person at a 6 top. It makes me insane

What a great location for those needing a quick break or reprieve from waiting in the county office! I'll definitely have to come again when I'm doing a remote work day and try some of the treats! I ended up getting a mango milk tea on this first adventure and was thrilled to learn they don't use dairy. It was a bit sweet and I wasn't sure if I could do a sweetness percentage when ordering so I'll have to ask that next time but it was really great with lychee jellies. The woman working was super kind and it was ready within minutes! They have very limited hours but seating both in the shop as well as in the adjoining entrance lobby so plenty of space for folks to enjoy their drinks!

Highly recommend checking this spot out.

I'm more of a chai latte person than a coffee person, so I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that they carry Chiya Chai from Namaste Cafe. I love being able to support multiple local businesses and find it really cool when places collaborate like that. The barista was also very nice and welcoming and did not seem bothered at all by me asking about their chai supplier. My husband tried their iced americano with oat milk and caramel and thought it was really good as well. I definitely would love to come back sometime soon and hang out.
