"Best coffeeshop in the Twin Cities! Coffee is prepared to the highest standards. Staff are all unique and friendly. These are professionals who care deeply for their craft. The music is the cherry on the coffee cake. I always leave this place in a better mood than when I arrived. You will too. Tip your baristas!"

"Not what I'd call top tier espresso, but well above average and the best I've had in the Twin Cities. It was served in ceramic with mineral water and a cute spoon. Flavor had a moderate round acidity and there it had a moderate body too. There was some roast character without a hint of char."

"Normally, I really enjoy the atmosphere here. It’s a great place to work or study. However, today the music was techno, which wasn’t ideal for focusing. I hope the music style changes in the future. I sat for about 20 minutes hoping the style would change, but it didn’t. I also noticed that several people walked in and left within 10–15 minutes, and I personally think the music may have played a role. That being said, the staff is always friendly, and the environment is usually welcoming. I think just being mindful of the music choice could make a big difference in keeping the space comfortable and inviting for everyone. In the video it may not sound loud, but in person it was noticeably loud."

"An impromptu rainstorm derailed my plans outdoors. All other tea stores were. Closed but this was available. Parking being available was another story. Part of why I don't come this way is dealing with parking. If you have time, just drive around a bit and you'll find something. I found out from the barista that the owner of the shop sources his own tea. That’s quite impressive for a coffee shop. Granted I don’t visit coffee shops but maybe 3 times a year so maybe it’s more of speciality coffee shop thing. Yellow tea is something I would generally avoid in a shop but seeing his set up and being allowed to actually see the leaves so I could grade and write tasting notes was a huge plus. The Mao Feng is very nice. Well done on your sourcing Mr. Andrews."

"A bit of a mess. The space needs some love. It feels like a dumping ground. Paint cans, crates, boxes, dusty magazines, board games, dead plants. A thick layer of brown grot visible on the ductwork. There are 5 different temperature light bulb throughout the space. Cold and clinic bulbs above the bar and in the track lights, mixed with garish dusty Edison bulbs hanging everywhere else. A small cleanup and some new lighting would do wonders. Good coffee though."
