Coffee shops and tea rooms Minneapolis

A pretty little café near the Mississippi River, where you can enjoy a salad or a sandwich made with fresh bread, ham, cheese and crudités, while playing one of the board games on offer. You can also enjoy a cappuccino on one of the sofas in front of the large picture windows. The atmosphere is pleasant and colorful, with yellow and red oilcloth tablecloths and warm floor lamps. Good cocktails and a wide selection of whiskies. Happy hour Tuesday-Thursday, 4-6pm. Live music some evenings.

Just a stone's throw from the Walker Art Center, this café is part of a local chain with more than 70 locations in Minnesota. The Dunn brothers opened their first café in 1987 in St. Paul, and it was an immediate success thanks to the warm atmosphere and excellent coffee. Set up on two floors, this address has a multitude of tables, some armchairs and a terrace for the nice days. The coffee is roasted on the spot, not to spoil anything. A good little address, where you can stop before or after visiting the museum.

Located on Eat Street, this Spyhouse Coffee is a warm place, with its wooden tables. Its decor revisits coffee-making through the ages. The place is popular with young, hip and affluent digital nomads. On weekends, families can be seen here, with customers taking a coffee to go while walking their dogs... In addition to a wide choice of coffees, you can also enjoy a home-made Chai tea. Of course, this coolness comes at a price, and you won't be eating here - not even for a hearty breakfast - but the break is pleasant and the muffins are tasty.
