Quixotic Coffee
769 Cleveland Ave S, Saint Paul, MN
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Saint Paul, this espresso-focused spot has cultivated a devoted following with creative signature drinks like their standout S'mocha latte and inventive cold brew variations that keep regulars coming back. The welcoming atmosphere—complete with good music and lighting—makes it equally suited for lingering over a lavender doughnut or settling in with your laptop, though the execution can be pleasantly solid rather than consistently revelatory. With nearly 1,000 five-star reviews, it's become the kind of neighborhood gem where neighbors actually know the place by name.”

I visited this shop for the first time yesterday. The atmosphere was okay, and the coffee was tasty. Unfortunately, the customer service really disappointed me. The young lady who helped me wasn’t friendly and even gave me a dirty look when placing my coffee on the counter. There was no “here you go” or “thank you” — just an unpleasant glare. Because of the lack of basic customer service skills, I won’t be returning.
Nice ambience, good music and good lighting. Decent iced oat latte, lavender doughnut was yummy, focaccia street sandwich (pastrami) very flavorful 💯
a very solid coffee shop, pretty good but not the best, taste-wise. it's just very decent coffee, but they might need a little help perfecting their flavors. the marshmallow drinks are all way too sweet, and it doesn't incorporate well into the drinks at all, hot or cold. and the pumpkin spice latte was just a bit plain, just very milky tbh. again, not bad at all, just definitely can be better.
A rather popular coffee shop with delicious coffees and some croissants on offer. There looks like there were other pastry options earlier in There were quite a few people studying, working and having meetings as well. As a picky coffee drinker, i can confirm that the coffee is delicious!
So glad I stopped to check this place out. Used my coffee passport by 16ozDays to be able to try two drinks for the price of one. The S’mocha latte and the Marco Polo cold brew. Both top notch.
