Best coffee shop in the twin cities. The owner lives upstairs and is the nicest guy ever. The vibe is cozy and home-y. They have great desserts as well.

The inviting outdoor patio and wraparound porch provide the perfect setting for patrons to soak in the lively Uptown scene during the warmer months.
