Karol Coffee
1503 Hamline Ave N, Saint Paul, MN
Crema's Take
“Karol Coffee is a peacefully welcoming neighborhood gem in Como where both coffee purists and casual tea drinkers feel equally at home, from their thoughtfully crafted espresso drinks to their beloved honey chai latte. The cozy, kid-friendly space strikes that rare balance of being perfect for lingering work sessions or catching up with friends, all while the team demonstrates genuine care in every cup they craft. Their commitment to eco-conscious practices and seasonal specialties like their cult-favorite Cinnamon Caramel Latte shows they're doing specialty coffee with real intention, not just trends.”

It's such a cute coffee shop. The atmosphere is so peaceful and welcoming and I like how eco-friendly they are. They have a lot of fancy options to choose from but I kept it simple and went with the Orange Julius mini-latte, which tasted delicious. The barista was also really nice and quick with the coffee. This might be my new favorite local coffee spot.
I live too far away to come here more often, but I've been here a few times. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I do like chai tea. I like their honey chai latte. It's really tasty and doesn't have any overpowering tastes. Service is also pretty quick. It's a rather small coffee shop, so it fills up quickly, but it's quaint and charming. They also sell little blank (on the inside) greeting cards with beautiful floral paintings on the front. There is no parking lot, but there is free street parking. I really want to get back up there at some point soon.
Karol coffee shop has quickly become my go-to place for catching up with friends. The cute vibes, delicious coffee, and plenty of kid-friendly inside & outside for when friends have little ones in tow…it’s unmatched. Really kind staff and great experience consistently. They also frequently have pop-up events with other local businesses so be sure to see what else they’re up to!! Love supporting this local business by going there and bringing their coffee beans home too!
This place is outstanding. Home to what is now my favorite drink, the Cinnamon Carmel Latte. Unfortunately it's a seasonal drink because its sooo good. The service is top notch, atmosphere is great, and I can't say enough good things about their coffee. If you're trying to decide on a coffee house, pick this one. You will not be disappointed.
Karol Coffee is a very cozy, friendly little coffee shop, located in the Como neighborhood, conveniently close to our house. The drinks are fresh, delicious, and made with care and attention to detail. I was thrilled with the delicate, intricate little pattern in the froth of my drink.😁 We also tried a ham and cheese croissant, which was fantastic, perfect in texture and flavor. I especially appreciate the high volume of seating - many coffee shops suffer from a sad lack of seating, leaving people to stand around or pack together. There is plenty of indoor seating at Karol, as well as a selection of picnic tables outside for enjoying the fresh air. We plan to frequent this little shop often - so nice to have such a lovely little local coffee shop we can visit!
