    Here's a cheery place in N.E. Minneapolis in a building that used to be the prince of drab. The dining area has a wall of windows with high chairs and counter. The minimalist concept still comes off as a quiet yet welcoming place. Check the food choices with browned buttery croissants including what has to be the best Ham and Cheese Croissant in any coffee bar. We'll call it hip but not snubby hip, there is a warm and fuzzy feel from the moment of entry.

    Great little coffee shop in our neighborhood. I've been here a few times and enjoyed the cup of joe and treats both times. I got to know Mac a little bit and she was a bundle of joy. My go to coffee is their London Fog (Foggy Bird). The morning bun was loaded with cinnamon - I suggest getting that heated up. Will definitely be back.

    Such a cute coffee shop with a big and bright interior. Perfect to work remotely from. It was quiet while we were there. The barista was really nice and the Hamline latte with honey and lavender was delicious. Also loved that alternative milks were no upcharge! It's really tucked away in northeast but there's street parking out front.

    We've been going here for over a year now but recently we've have a few bad coffees the past month. today we got a cold brew and a iced vanilla latte and the iced vanilla latte is mostly milk and there's loose coffee grounds on the bottom of the drink. just disappointed

    I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! There is so much seating for studying, cool art everywhere, and the tables are actually comfy lol. The coffee is so so good. My go to is the Hamline(lavender and honey) or one of their many specials(the bluebird is so good). They also have the best danishes ever. Pricing is pretty good for the quality coffee you get. And the baristas are so nice! There has never been a time where they didn't start a genuine conversation with me and I love that.

    Every drink I've ordered here was not good. Service was fine. The decor is cute. The side of the building has a gorgeous floral mural.

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!

    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!!

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.

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.

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!
