Crema's Take

“This cozy Northeast Minneapolis spot punches well above its weight despite its tiny footprint, with genuinely passionate baristas who remember regulars and co-owners who'll chat with you at the bar about what you're drinking. The espresso-focused menu skips gimmicky signature drinks in favor of thoughtful execution, and their housemade chai reveals delicate floral notes that reward a careful sip rather than a rushed grab. Whether you're squeezing onto a counter seat for a slow conversation or ducking in for a quick coffee to take elsewhere, the warmth here comes from real people who actually care about what's in your cup.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Super cute little coffee shop! Very tiny inside, but we were able to find a few seats at the counter. The staff were super nice! My chai was very yummy! My friends enjoyed their coffees as well.

My wife and I found this place while exploring the area. The coffee was great, the vibe was perfect. We sat at the bar and talked to one of the co-op owners, and enjoyed it so much. We will definitely be going back the next time we are in town.

Small location but cute place. Lots on the menu but disappointed with lack of signature drinks. Got the housemade chai. It had a floral tone to it which was different. Wasn’t super strong. Loved the outdoor seating!
