    Ice caramel latte
    Marlene S.

    Wise Coffee just feels good from the moment you step in airy, calm, and full of that cozy buzz that only a great local café can pull off. The vibe is earthy and intentional: warm lighting, comfy seating, and the soft hum of espresso machines working their magic. I went with an iced caramel latte with cold foam, and wow it was perfection in a cup. The caramel had that deep, almost buttery flavor, not too sweet, and the cold foam added the silkiest finish. It's one of those drinks that makes you stop mid-sip and just appreciate life for a second. The baristas were genuinely friendly and clearly care about their craft quick to offer recommendations and serve up smiles along with your caffeine fix. It's easy to see why locals love this spot.

    matcha latte, black sesame latte, iced and hot espresso
    Sara C.

    When the coffee/drinks are 10/10 but the service is 20/10. I wanted to try both a coffee drink and their matcha. I've gotten lots of recommendations for this place so I decided to give it a shot. First, I love how quiet and cozy it is. Few seating for a little nook, few outside in the main area and some for larger groups. Second, I am glad they have a punch card system bc I know I'll be back more than a few times! Parking is not limited and abundant. They hype around their matcha is 100% real. It was perfectly made. Not too bitter, not too sweet. Not too powdery or clumpy. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his black sesame latte. Its also very well balanced. To top it off, the baristas served us our drinks. It is pick-up-at-the-counter type thing but they were super sweet enough to keep us sitting in our seats. They occasionally would come by to ask how are drinks are, which tells me they truly care about their creations and customers. Please come give this place a try!

    Strawberry Matcha Latte
    Eustina K.

    An amazing cafe with cozy vibes! Their matcha lattes are always creamy and smooth with zero bitterness. It's also pretty quiet and has a separate area for people who are studying. Overall, it's a perfect place to stop by if you want quality drinks and need a place to get work done.

    Will start off with service! From the moment we walked in to when we left we were greeted. They were all super friendly ! I got the matcha latte with ube foam and my friend got the dulce de leche latte. The matcha was so good and the ube foam definitely kicked it up a notch. The ube wasn't too strong but it was the perfect amount of sweetness. The place was so clean and aesthetically pleasing. There was plenty of space to sit. They also serve pastries here and I need to try those next time. Can't wait to be back.

    Lavender latte  Strawberry matcha
    Jessica L.

    Since we were in the area, we decided to stop here for coffee early on the day. I love the ambiance! Very earthy vibes and greenery but office chic vibes. Service was great! Ordered up front and drinks came out shortly after. We ordered a latte with lavender and the strawberry matcha. It was delicious. This place is great for small and large groups and especially great for work/school/office. Check it out! Till then, let's sip!

    Soft opening!

    New coffee shop alert! Very chill vibe inside. Good amount of seating and the music isn't too loud so perfect for studying/working remote. Parking available right outside. There is a limited variety of baked goods as well. You can request to have it toasted. The cafe just opened so still working on finding their rhythm. But we didn't have to wait long for our drinks. The cold brew was a bit bitter to what I normally prefer. The strawberry matcha latte was good, no clumps of matcha which is always appreciated. It's kinda tucked away behind Home Depot. There are also restaurants right next to it in case you wanted to grab food.

    Americano with a splash of milk
    Debbie L.

    So so so fond of Wise Coffee! The interior decor, the hospitality and kindness and attentive of the baristas, the cleanliness, and the quality of the coffee!!!! I was on day 4 of drinking whole milk lattes and my body needed a break so I opted for an americano with a splash of milk. Asked for a few ice cubes, and ended up needing a to-go cup and the staff were so nice. Would 100% visit again- Wise Coffee sets the bar for chill, chic cafes + top notch coffee

    Iced strawberry matcha latte, matcha latte, and iced ube latte
    Ann M.

    The ambience of the place was nice and cozy. The service was fast and friendly. We all enjoyed our drinks. I love everything ube and was happy with my latte. My family got matcha and they were both great. It was worth the trip out there.

    black sesame latte
    Riana K.

    Modern aesthetic coffee shop with amazing staff~~ Been a regular since the first time I tried their strawberry matcha lattes- they make the BEST strawberry puree for these. Tried their black sesame latte today which was actually recommended to take with almond milk! I've never had a place recommend me a drink with almond milk!!! (my fave lactose free latte substitute) You can tell they genuinely care for their customers here, will definitely be back soon :)

    Strawberry  Matcha  Latte and Dulce De Leche Latte with pandan brownie and white chocolate matcha cookie
    Thao N.

    This place is to die for! The ambiance is amazing as you walk in with the beautiful aesthetics of a locally run coffee shop, the strawberry matcha latte was the best I've ever had in the city! The dulce de leche coffee was amazing! The pastries were so tasty with panda brownie so delightful, soft and crunchy the perfect combo all in the right places, the white chocolate matcha cookie was delicious! I can't wait to come back again! The coffee and ambiance was perfect! please come and try it out!

    Lemon & Raspberry Muffin, Ham & Cheese Croissant, and Strawberry Matcha Latte
    Kassandra C.

    The food was warm and tasted amazing! Very good to snack on while studying. The staff are very polite and friendly. They check up on you to see if you need anything and help clear tables. The shop is small and cozy. They play soothing soft music which helps you feel relaxed. Very cute coffee shop, definitely recommend for studying :)

    Strawberry matcha latte with almond milk since I can't drink dairy.

    Nice and sweet coffee shop. The strawberry latte was amazing. They have 2 size wish they had a third one that was bigger. Even if a lot more because I wanted more when I was done.

    Iced latte
    Anh D.

    Amazing new independent coffee shop! There is so much seating in here, you can really get some work done or meet up with friends! The iced latte was delicious; some of their syrups are made in house- just ask the barista! The flavor is so good, the big chains don't compare to this!

    One of my favorite cafes in Duluth! They have a big tea latte selection, which is so helpful…read more(because sometimes a girl just wants a tea and not a coffee, you know?) I've tried a variety of their drinks, and my go-to is the Strawberry Earl Grey latte. It's SO GOOD. Nothing is overly sweet, and the tea flavor really shines. My brother likes the mango matcha and my cousin always goes for the vanilla earl grey latte (coffee) or the pistachio latte. We also enjoy their sandwiches too. Would definitely recommend this place! They have a little punch card, where your 10th drink is free, and the owner is so nice! There's waves of people coming and going, but it's not constantly super packed like other places. It's not the biggest place, but you can find seating, and it's a nice place to get stuff done. I wish I could gatekeep this place, but I also want them to be successful. Go try them out!

    Summary: Great coffee, calm study cafe, just a bitter experience due to the owner…read more Black Sesame Ice Cream Latte: Yummy!! Would order again in a heartbeat. It's a couple scoops of ice cream with espresso. Pumpkin Spiced Latte: Was good but nothing outstanding. Peanut Butter Cream Einspanner (Iced): Peanut butter cream was good, but once you mix the drink together the peanut flavor is lost. If you like the darker bolder coffee taste, this is a good one to try. Vibe: Music is always upbeat and peaceful, mostly a calm study cafe but some people grab and go. Service: On my first visit I was offered a stamp card. 10 stamps, and your next item is free. The owner is always there and is very welcoming and polite, but it's only for the sake of business. It's not genuine friendliness or care for customers. When I picked up my PSL, I immediately noticed the cup was too light. I ordered a large and there was at least 1.5 inches of space between the fill line and the rim of the cup. Why pay extra for a large if I'm getting served a small? Given that the drink was prepared by the cafe owner herself, I would have been embarrassed to serve a customer such a drink. My other complaint is that I'd visited 3 times in the past two weeks, sat in the cafe for at 3+ hours each time, and was in a rush to attend a important zoom meeting, and planned to order after my meeting was over. 30 mins in, I was actively speaking on the video call when the cafe owner interrupted me to say that I couldn't sit without ordering a drink. So many parts of me want to justify her behavior, maybe she's anxious about the cafe not making enough money - but given that she has seen me before and I was actively speaking - that rubbed me the wrong way. I was beginning to feel comfortable at the cafe but that moment made me hesitant to return. If this hadn't happened, I would have considered this a 5/5 star establishment and found a go-to study spot.

The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

    Easilyyyy has become a top 3 favorite, and I have to go at least once a week…read more NOTHING has disappointed me here at Blue Mountain. My favorite order is the iced strawberry ceremonial matcha and fruit tart. I have also tried their iced Dutch latte, their strawberry cloud and a variety of their baked goods. Everything is always absolutely perfect. This is the best spot to get work done, catch up with friends, or for a quick coffee run. The inside is absolutely beautiful and serene. You can even see their cold brew and roasting through a window. Make sure to get their stamp card loyalty as well! I believe 10 stamps gets you a free drink of your choice! Love that they are open til 8PM, though I wish they were open a bit later.

    I've been a regular at this café for a while, but my recent experience was extremely disappointing…read more I placed my order with the Asian woman at the counter -- who I later learned could be the owner -- paid for it, and waited. After 45 minutes with no update, I finally asked about my drink -- only to find out they had completely forgotten my order. Waiting 45 minutes for a simple drink is already unreasonable, but being blamed for bringing it up was even worse. They didn't offer a free drink or even bring the drink to my table after realizing the mistake. Instead of apologizing, the staff member (or the owner) who took my order walked away and ignored me. Another employee stepped in, apologized, and made the drink, leaving it nearby for me to pick up. About 30 minutes later, the original staff member(who could be the owner) approached me and, speaking quietly in Korean, told me it wasn't her responsibility to remember my order because I hadn't ordered any pastries. She also claimed their system prevented staff in the back from seeing orders--an excuse I later learned wasn't true. This means that all other staff don't know the order and still manage to fill the orders in the back when we place them. The way she spoke, switching to Korean and keeping her voice low, seemed intended to appear polite to others while implying that I should accept her illogical talking, while wasting my time there. I don't see the point that the owner is making that when she didn't apologize for her mistake, and instead deflected blame onto me while treating me like I was in poverty, since I didn't order pastries. Not everyone likes the old, stale pastries they have. But other workers are so understanding and great people, though. Overall, the interaction felt dismissive and unprofessional, and I left feeling gaslit and disrespected despite being a loyal customer.
