Crema's Take

Dovetail Cafe is a genuine gathering place where Duluth's community comes alive, beloved for its cozy, laid-back atmosphere and the kind of thoughtful touches that keep regulars coming back—like their signature berry palmer that fans order dozens of times over. Beyond excellent coffee, they shine with scratch-made food that punches above typical cafe fare, from exceptional quiches and scones to hearty breakfasts with genuine care for dietary needs. The whole experience feels intentional, from the friendly staff who bring your order to your seat to the welcoming vibe that makes it equally perfect for a solo study session, a meeting with friends, or just feeling at home.

Dovetail Cafe has become absolutely central to Duluth’s community and culture. It cannot be missed. They have great healthy hearty food that’s a good value, and gluten free options, including baked treats. Get breakfast, join a fun community event, get a drink in the afternoon, take a class a the folk school. Excellent coffee drinks, meticulously crafted and served with love and kindness. 💕

I love Dovetail! It is the perfect study spot and they host many cool events. I love the berry palmer - I have ordered them at least like 30 times. Best scones ever and the coziest vibes.

I love living so close to Dovetail, now I go way more often! They have the friendliest staff, amazing food, and a welcoming atmosphere! This is by far my favorite coffee shop!

Great food, very cool and laid back atmosphere. You order, pick a seat and they bring you the food and you bus the dishes. There's so much to look at and explore. The staff are very kind. The drinks are delicious, we ordered mocha and an iced chocolate Chai latte. They are spendy but it's all local and natural ingredients and a small business so it is worth it!

The quiche was amazing! I've only had quiche once before, but this blew me away with how good it was. And the side salad that comes with it has such a good dressing that pairs perfectly with the quiche to balance the meal out. I got the meat quiche which was perfect, my partner got the veggie one, and although still good it wasn't as good as the meat one in my opinion, it may have needed more salt or something. I had a dirty chai here and it was one of the best I've ever had, they've got some really good espresso. Service was by no means bad, it just wasn't the friendliest, great food and drinks though
