I've been wanting to get here for years after hearing about the cinnamon rolls. I was finally in…read morethe area at the right time (after Art in the Hollow which was also amazing!) I managed to snag the LAST cinnamon roll! I am taking the fact it was the last in to account. It wasn't the freshest - and an outside corner piece - so it was a bit dry and hard. However, it turns out the roll is just an easy way to get the frosting in your face. Omg. Delicious, buttery amazing frosting. (Which they did frost at the time of purchase). The place is small but they have an upstairs as well as a nice garden patios.

SUPER cute coffee shop with a very impressive menu of breakfast fare. I got a breakfast called…read more"Hashbrown Bake Platter" whose name undersells itself; the potato part was a delicious, savory cake with hash browns, cheese, bacon, and sausage in an ideal ratio. It also came with perfectly done scrambled eggs and toast. I got a unique latte as well; I asked the barista for her favorite and wound up with a raspberry & dark chocolate latte that had a surprising shock of bitterness. It was great. You will probably really like the ambience. It appears to have been built out of a lovely Victorian home in Dayton's Bluff, and there is plenty of upstairs seating including cute tables on the landings. There is also a very green patio. Friendly service tops it all off nicely. Their only not-open day is Tuesday, so bear that in mind. There is neighborhood street parking which you may have to hunt around a bit for. I really think you'll enjoy hanging out here!

The young man at the counter offered me an extensive menu of regular coffees, espresso drinks and specialty drinks, all of which could be made hot or cold. They also have a variety of milk selections. Unfortunately, they were out of skim milk today, but he offered to tweak the amount when I told him that the main reason I usually had skim milk was to enhance the coffee flavor(and their coffee really tasted good). Additionally, he offered to make my drink in my personal cup which was great since I hate to use plastic whenever I can. This location is only a half block from United Hospital and all its various buildings and there is no good coffee within that entire complex. It's definitely worth getting a breath of fresh air and taking a block and a half stroll to have a great cup of Joe! By the way, although I tried hard not to look, their pastry case looked scrumptious, filled with homemade pies by the slice and other goodies. Since they are so close to the hospital it's really nice that they also have a lovely display of fresh cut flowers. Next time I'm down here I'm going to stop in for a meal. If the food is as good as the coffee I think I'll become a regular.

I didn't pick up right away that you take a menu and seat yourself, which can feel a little chaotic at first, but once we sat down, we were able to settle in. My husband got the blueberry French toast and I ordered the Athena breakfast wrap. It was pretty good, but I definitely want to go back to try their crepes and treats from the baked goods case!

AWESOME coffee shop! My first visit has me completely enamored. Your first impression will probably…read morebe how immaculately clean and beautiful it is, with the striking decor and modern design. I had a fantastic Mexican Mocha that's probably the best mocha I've had in months (and I have a borderline-embarrassing amount of mochas). They do have some proper savory offerings including a slate of empanadas that I'm eager to try. This time I just got a simple ham and cheese croissant, but it was perfect and I would definitely get that again. Exceptionally friendly service, very comfortable, I just love it. NOTE: in the summer of 2026 there is a lot of construction on East 7th, but you can park in the lot across the street.

It's unfortunate that there is so much construction in front of the place. Don't let that deter you from entering. It's awesome!

Oh I KNOW you're going to like this place. It is a great coffee shop with nice coffee drinks and…read moresome hot breakfast food. PLUS, it is a very nice record store! Great selection; I spotted a couple of records that I don't find often. And they have cassette tapes! I am very much of the cassette tape generation and I can confirm that those janky little rectangles don't have the same nostalgia appeal as big, pretty disks, but it's cool that they are offered! If you are just interested in checking out a record store I think you'll be satisfied here. But I like coffee shops and I loved my coffee and my breakfast sandwich. I got the Caramel Creme Brulee latte which was delicious. They even singe the top like a real creme brulee! It sounds like it will be too sweet but it isn't; great flavor balance with the coffee flavor not being overtaken. They sell a variety of beans as well. There is a nice sidewalk patio area, and it's a comfortable, chill hangout spot in this lively urban neighborhood. I like it very much here!

This might be the cutest shop in St. Paul. I absolutely love the vibes at Caydence…read more It's part record store and part coffee shop, and both sides are done so well. The record selection is amazing with a great mix of new and used records, plus a super fun section of $2 records where you can fill a bag and find some real gems. The coffee is excellent. The breakfast sandwich is house made and prepared fresh for you, and everything we tried was delicious. The caramel brulee latte is truly something special. It has a full cap of caramelized sugar on top and is honestly exquisite. Service is outstanding. Friendly faces, quick service, and such a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere. There are lots of seating options and plenty of natural light, making it a great place to hang out, relax, work a bit, or browse records. Overall just a fun, feel-good spot that combines great coffee, great music, and great people. One of those places you leave already planning to come back.

Sadly, I was on a tight clock, or thought I was. Two customers were waiting for their kava drinks to go. They eagerly recommended the kava, which I had never had before. A tall, graceful Black man was running the place. He and I struck up a conversation that bounced around from topic to topic...my favorite kind. Before I knew it, he was making me a kava drink. It tasted very nice, a creamy brew with just a touch of bitter root flavor. He also brought me a shot of pure kava juice. Much more bitter root flavor. His name was Beil. Very cool dude. I noticed a couple big screen TVs up high. Asked him if he was following the soccer tournament. A little, he said. My time there was tragically short, as a phone call summoned me thither. From this world, to another, and then suddenly back. Off to Amtrak and a long wait for sister. Well met, Zen Room Kava Lounge.

On slow days, they are not efficient with orders and staff can be rude if you ask why you've been waiting 20min for your drink. Espresso drinks are better than their matcha drinks - it's quite bitter despite sweetener. I got the Banhmi Ni and despite it looking like it had been panini pressed, the meat inside was very cold, near frozen . . . There was hair another time in my pesto chicken panini. Kept the 3rd star because they are never short of tables and have plenty of outlets to be able to do work if you need to. Not sure if the food/drinks are worth these prices though.
