Crema's Take

“Cold Front is a charming soda fountain-style coffee shop that brilliantly bridges the gap between serious espresso drinks and nostalgic ice cream indulgence, making it equally perfect for a quick affogato or a lingering date. Their signature creations like the Flannel showcase thoughtful beverage design, while their house-made ice cream—praised for its high quality and unique flavor combinations—elevates simple coffee pairings into memorable treats. The warm, family-friendly atmosphere and genuinely fast service create that rare sweet spot where you can grab and go or settle in for slow, quality time.”

What to expect

Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Love a good affogato and Cold Front has many yummy ice cream options to pair with espresso. They also do sundaes, milkshakes, malts, lattes, other coffees & teas. Reasonably priced and friendly staff.

By far the BEST ice cream shop in St. Paul. High quality cream, perfect sweetness level and unique flavors. Love the old fashioned soda fountain feel.
