Crema's Take

Joseph's Coffee and Donuts doubles as a carefully curated craft market, selling everything from leather goods to cribbage boards alongside genuinely excellent espresso and homemade pastries that put chain coffee shops to shame. The owner and staff have mastered the rare art of making every visitor feel like a regular, with the kind of genuine warmth that actually makes you want to linger over your cold brew instead of rushing out. If you're on Saint Paul's West Side looking for a place that's equal parts great coffee destination and community gathering spot, this is it.

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Best Coffee on the West Side! Make sure and grab a yummy donut too. The people who work here have created a beautiful space and have a way of welcoming you in that makes you want to stay and hang out for a while. Truly a local gem.

Great little spot! The apple fritter was fantastic. The staff is super kind and accommodating - I needed an extra outlet for my dying laptop and they even brought out an extra extension cord.
