Northern Coffeeworks
4208 S 28th Ave, Minneapolis, MN
Crema's Take
“Northern Coffeeworks is a sprawling Minneapolis favorite that takes its espresso seriously, with standout pour overs and creative drinks like their maple oat latte that keep folks coming back despite occasional service hiccups. The spacious layout is genuinely laptop-friendly, with outlets lining the right side of the shop and generous free refills on regular coffee, making it an honest choice for long work sessions or casual meetups with friends. Fair warning: the staff can feel aloof at the counter, and weekend crowds can make seating a game of musical chairs, but once you're settled in with a well-made coffee, the reasonable prices and solid atmosphere make it worth the visit.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Wifi.

This is a cute coffee spot with tons of tables to chill or work from. The whole right side has outlets so folks can charge their laptops/phone while they work. Yummy coffee - try the maple oat latte. I really enjoyed the gift shop they have built into their shop. Hikers will…
This place was really busy on a Saturday afternoon and parking was tricky. Once you're inside there's lots of places to sit but there were few spaces left. It's not terribly noisy but it's also not really what I would call cozy. I tried a decaf latte that wasn't decaf at all…
Really good coffee and cool atmosphere. Very spacious inside did not feel crowded at all. Price was reasonable. And if you get just a regular coffee and want to hang out free refills. They also have lots to look at and things for sale. When I was there there was someone selling…
