Dogwood Coffee - East Lake
4021 E Lake St, Minneapolis, MN
Crema's Take
“Dogwood is a beloved neighborhood spot where skilled espresso work shines through in their signature creative drinks like the standout Bear Hug latte and meticulously crafted latte art that hints at real care in every cup. The medium-sized space strikes that perfect balance between being a serious working coffee shop and a welcoming gathering place for regulars, complete with dog-friendly vibes and outdoor seating that makes it feel like a natural extension of the Minneapolis community. There's a warmth here that goes beyond the coffee—staff clearly know their people, and the quality of their roasts paired with thoughtful touches like complimentary fizzy water show they're thinking about the whole experience.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Dog friendly. Parking available.

The location wasn't hard to find, plus you just parked on the streets. There were tables and chairs outside as well, I love the first roll of the seats or the front seats because it looks like Korean Ramen restaurant where they have walls between and its small seat for one…
Standout for one of the more elaborate latte artwork I’ve seen recently. Latte art doesn’t equate to a great shop, but it shows someone cares. And a little fizzy water on the side is a nice touch. Nice place, I like the two person tables with lights and outlets. On street…
