🔥 roasts in-house

“It is so interesting to me so far that many places in the stp / minne area roast their own beans and follow it up with horrid baked goods.”

🥐 fresh pastries 7 mentions

“There were a few pastry options and Mylk Labs oatmeal for food and you can see them roasting the coffee inside and can buy the bags of their coffee.”

What customers say

Totaled my car for the new year and have been taking the bus. Stopped in and now it’s become a really nice staple in my day. The coffee is always fresh and delicious 😋 with the roasting going on in house I can’t lose! #Coffeecake #HamandCheeseCroissants and so much more

I stopped in here last weekend to try their eggnog chai! It was pretty good, but I didn't get a whole lot of egg nog flavor. I've never had an egg nog chai before, but I do love a chai! However, I think I'd rather just chug eggnog straight in the future to get the full effect.

Needed a place to get things done on my to do list and I’m glad I chose Backstory to do so! Ordering inside is open now and there were a few tables to sit at inside and many tables outside. The free wifi even reached to the outdoor tables!

Amazing cappuccino. The single source espresso was on the acidic side but not in a bad way. Carmel peach cream cheese pastry was amazing! Not a combination I would have tried but it fit well.
