5 Star Cafe
2469 7th St W, Saint Paul, MN
Crema's Take
“This Saint Paul gem brilliantly blends coffee culture with Eritrean cuisine, where you're just as likely to order a thoughtfully crafted vanilla oat milk latte as you are an exceptional salad or slow-cooked tuna with red sauce. The vibe shifts from a quick caffeine stop up front to a genuine community gathering space in back, complete with a hidden pool room where regulars get competitive—it's the kind of place where staff like Leah remember your name and make you feel genuinely welcome, whether you're settling in for two hours or grabbing something to go.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

Super chill place!! The lady working there made the most amazing vanilla oat milk latte! And she was very friendly and nice. This place truly is 5 stars :) Love it!
Business on the front. Party in the back. There is a hidden room in the back for Eritrean men to play pool and hang out, there is one pool table against the wall but the guys are very competitive. The food is good quality and cooked to perfection by the women behind the window.…
I tried 5 Star Cafe out for dinner. I wasn’t disappointed w/ my choice. I ordered keywot with rice. Normally you would eat it with injera I just wasn’t in the mood for that this time around. It was really flavorful & I’ll definitely order it again thanks to this first positive…
