SK Coffee: Coffee Bar & Roastery
550 Vandalia St, Saint Paul, MN
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside a beautifully restored factory building in the Vandalia Tower, SK Coffee roasts its beans in-house and takes pour-overs seriously—expect to pay for craft, but taste the difference in every cup. The industrial-chic space strikes that rare balance of being both impressive enough to visit for the ambiance alone and welcoming enough for a casual work session or group meetup, with baristas who genuinely care about accommodating everyone's tastes, coffee drinker or not.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

Trendy local coffee spot in Vandalia Tower. Stopped here for a morning meetup with a group and they were able to accommodate my non-coffee drinking self with a dark chocolate hot chocolate! Barista's were extremely helpful and had my drink served in a solid dine-in coffee cup.…
I’ve visited SK Coffee a few times at their spot in Vandalia Tower, and it’s become one of my favorite coffee stops in the Twin Cities. They roast their beans in-house, and you can taste the difference — the coffee is bright, smooth, and consistently excellent whether you’re…
