The Wild Bean
88 Mahtomedi Ave, Saint Paul, MN
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Saint Paul, this welcoming spot strikes that rare balance between a serious coffee destination and a genuinely laid-back hangout where you can actually get work done. The team clearly knows their craft—think thoughtful espresso drinks and quality matcha alongside fresh pastries—and they've created an atmosphere so calm and unhurried that regulars keep coming back, whether they're meeting a business partner or settling in with their laptop for the afternoon.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.

This is one of my favorite coffee shops near my office! It's a great spot for casual business meet up and impress your partner with your expert coffee knowledge. Be careful though, there's a bakery next door and you will put on some pounds if you're not careful!

Cozy cafe with good wifi and quiet atmosphere very conducive to working on laptop, taking meetings and other phone calls. Plentiful coffee and chai/tea options and a good variety of pastries as well as some breakfast and lunch options. Friendly staff and beautiful ambience.
The Wild Bean is a fun coffee shop right in Mahtomedi. I've had lattes and regular coffee. Both were good. They have quite a few different treats (donuts, muffins, etc), and other food options. I'd like to try some of their breakfast options. There's a place to hook up your dog…
This is definitely my favorite coffee shop in the metro area. The music is quiet enough that I can work on my laptop. Everyone who works here is always nice, and I've actually had a few really nice conversations with other patrons, too. I really enjoy the drinks and baked goods…
