Five Watt Coffee
3745 Nicollet Ave S, Minneapolis, MN
Crema's Take
“This espresso-focused Minneapolis gem pulls shots with serious precision, earning consistent praise for their cold brews and creative seasonal drinks like their standout apple cider chai that keeps people coming back for more. The vibe is refreshingly unpretentious—it's the kind of place where baristas clearly know their craft and regulars linger comfortably, whether you're grabbing an exceptional Americano before work or settling in for a slow sit with something inventive. Located near Tower Games on a convenient stretch, Five Watt strikes that rare balance of specialty coffee credibility without any pretension.”

The coffee is very very good. In my experience going multiple times, the staff is always quite stand off-ish regardless of who is working. Maybe just the personality they hire. Worth a shot but off putting when you notice how differently they treat different customers.
If you need a place that serves great coffee early in the morning this is your stop. Cold brews are amazing and Americanos are very good.
Great place, I prefer to the the Northern Fog. It's right down t he street from Tower Games and makes a trip to either store worth while. Their website appears to be no longer in operation however, If someone could snag a picture of their menu it would be appreciated!
I didn’t think it was possible but I found what may be my favorite chai. The best part? I tried their apple cider chai drink and it was phenomenal. I had never had anything like that and it was so refreshing and crisp. I ordered it on ice but will have to come back and try it hot. The atmosphere was so comfortable and many people were there getting work done or just chilling. The worst part? I don’t live close enough to be there often but I’ll definitely stop by again when I’m next door getting my haircut in the future!
This is one of the most unique shops where you feel so connected so fast everything is chill and great Service was sweet and great and you can tell they know what they doing. Food and drinks was good. Is not my style of shop to chill at However is fun to come sometimes and have cool drinks.
