What customers say

The drip coffee brew changes drastically as it cools. They have a medium roast, and it tastes quite bitter when it’s super hot almost like a dark roast but after 7 minutes as it cools it’s mellowed out, much more smooth and tastes more like a light roast.

My favorite coffee in town. Fantastic attention to coffee flavor and roast profiles. Appreciate they roast their own beans and offer the highest quality and flavorful espresso that I can find in my pursuits of yummy coffee in the Twin Cities. Staff is fantastic and committed to our community and neighborhood.

I love their selection of burners and incense! My favorite scents and types the Log Cabins are such a great way to watch incense burn and The loon is great, too. I had a Heartthrob Latte (splendid) and wife had a Lutsen Fog (Good) and daughter got Lady Slipper coffee which is the bomb.

★★★★★ — Tony, 2026-04

The location is very big. So not the average coffee shop. The menu selection is on the smaller side in my mind but still offers everything you need. They sell a lot of stuff other than coffee. I went with the cold brew and it was okay.
