What a gem! Great variety of food, beverages, and great customer service. Super good vibes, a great place to meet a friend or spend the morning reading the paper or catching up on your newsfeed (if you can find a spot). Great parking options to boot. Forever a favorite!
Stopped in for coffee while on vacation and was delighted to find such a cozy neighborhood vibe. The walls have what I assume is local artists work for sale and an eclectic mix of little toys and stickers for sale. The chocolate croissant is yummy and the barista recommended Tundra (turtle) latte was delicious.
Great music, service and the Grillers sandwiches were hot and flavorful on wild rice toasted bread.
A cozy, community-focused gem. Stopped by Ginkgo Coffeehouse and loved the relaxed, welcoming vibe. Big mugs of coffee (always a win), comfy booths, and plenty of people working or studying gave it that quietly buzzing, community feel. It’s the kind of spot you could easily lose a couple of hours in—reading, writing, or just watching the day unfold. A new favourite.
love that they have an online ordering system. i love breakfast sandwiches and i like all the options they have. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with avocado, cheddar cheese and sausage on a croissant. the croissant was super flacky and yummy. I also like the tundra, and they have lots of non dairy options to select :) great vibes inside. prices are much better than groundswell and just as good!
Very down to earth coffee shop. Nice staff and decent coffee! They have a front and back door - feels like a community spot with people coming in and out. Nothing fancy and prices reflect that. Overall, a nice stop!
Enjoyed this coffee shop in St Paul. It is so cute! It has a great feeling to it. Staff is friendly. Love the decor. Very surprised to find this coffee shop on Snelling Avenue. Will definitely be back. Pretty cool to have a talented piano player playing familiar tunes. (I actuallystayed a bit longer because the pianist was so good). My croissant was tasty and I enjoyed my Peach and Ginger Green Tea.
Busy place on a weekend visit, staff was nice and my coffee was made so quickly. I got a latte and there was a lot of oatmilk in it compared to most lattes I get elsewhere (which I preferred, but I know some people do not). I loved the taste of my coffee and would recommend it. Lots of cute knickknacks, and food, for purchase too!
