What customers say

This coffee house is a gem located in a Minneapolis neighborhood. Tastefully decorated, with plenty of seating and quiet enough for conversation. A good place to sit and relax, read a book, check your emails or talk to your significant other. Muran, the owner and barista, is personable and skilled.

Such a cute little spot with fun decor and a nice ambiance. The barista was busy but so fast & friendly, and the espresso drinks were some of the better ones we’ve had in a long time.

★★★★★ — Leah, 2025-12

The atmosphere was nice- very cute and trendy. The iced matcha was sweeter than most and on the milky side. I also ordered a chocolate croissant and it was pretty disappointing. They keep the pastries in a cooler, so when I went to bite into it the chocolate was hard and the pastry was kind of dry.

Shortwave Coffee is great! The lattes are delicious, the pastries are fabulous and the baristas are friendly and efficient! The atmosphere is cute and comfortable. My favorite part is the climbers on the wall!!
