Ginkgo Coffeehouse
721 Snelling Ave N, Saint Paul, MN
Crema's Take
“This beloved 30-year institution near Hamline University has earned its reputation as a bohemian refuge in suburban Saint Paul, drawing regulars back again and again for its warm atmosphere, eclectic decor, and late hours perfect for lingering over espresso drinks and fresh pastries. The croissant breakfast sandwich is a standout favorite, and the spacious, welcoming environment makes it equally suited for serious study sessions or casual meetups with friends. Staff here genuinely care, creating the kind of neighborhood gathering spot that feels like a well-kept local secret despite its long history.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly. Wifi.
