Sunshine Coffee Co.
3459 Lake Elmo Ave N, Saint Paul, MN
Crema's Take
“This locally rooted Lake Elmo spot roasts their own beans and excels at both espresso-driven classics and thoughtful pour overs, with regulars raving about seasonal creations like the Golden Sunshine Latte and salty maple latte. Beyond the coffee, what really sets Sunshine apart is their genuine commitment to community—they actively support immigrants and create an inclusive, family-friendly atmosphere where you're equally welcome to linger over a pastry on the spacious patio or grab something quick on your way out. With nearly perfect ratings and a devoted local following, this is the kind of neighborhood coffee shop that feels like it actually knows and cares about the people walking through its door.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

We absolutely love this coffee shop! It’s our favorite in the area. We get the pumpkin spice latte, salty maple latte, and usually split a sweet treat like a gf vanilla donut, blueberry muffin or apple fritter! This is by far our favorite place to get lattes. Staff is wonderful!
Everything about this place was enjoyable! Roast their own beans and have good tasty treats. Plenty of outdoor sitting though inside space is limited. I was there on a Saturday morning and they were busier than any place I’ve been for coffee. Great location and faithful client…
Cute coffee shop in Lake Elmo! My friend and I paid a visit on a Saturday while we were in the area. I tried their Golden Sunshine Latte and it was super delicious, plus the flavors were well-balanced. The coffee shop space is also so clean, cheery, and aesthetically pleasing,…
