Crema's Take

“Northern Shores consistently disappoints on the core product: multiple reviewers describe the coffee drinks as mediocre or "gross," and at $7–8 per specialty drink, the quality doesn't justify the price, especially for a shop targeting budget-conscious college students. The service has improved over time and it's a decent spot to camp out with wifi, but with only 24 reviews on record, there's not enough data to say whether the drink quality issues are systemic or occasional. If you're in Duluth and want reliable specialty coffee, you'd probably be better served elsewhere.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Wifi.

They have improved since I first came here when I started to when I graduated. The service has improved with time, but the drinks have remained pretty mediocre.

Seriously the most consistently made disappointing and gross coffee drinks. Somehow they ruin Duluth Coffee every time. If you’re charging $7 for a latte I would at least expect to have the desire to finish my drink. I have given this business far too much money for burnt, yet…

They do realize their target audience is college students? And still charge $7-8 dollars for a specialty coffee drink.

Pricey and depending on when you go there can be long lines. Also they don't take names for drinks and just shout out the name of the drink when it is ready, which can be confusing(as to whether it is your drink or someone else's) if there is a crowd all waiting. On a positive…

Great on-campus coffee shop. Wish they were open on weekends.
