Wise Owl Cafe
117 Pleasant St SE, Minneapolis, MN
Crema's Take
“Wise Owl Cafe is a solid neighborhood spot near campus that delivers good coffee at friendlier prices than the big chains, with notably shorter lines and a welcoming atmosphere for studying or meeting up. While their food offerings are decent and the service is usually friendly and quick, quality can be inconsistent—particularly during peak times—and pricing on food items doesn't always match the value. If you're looking for a reliable place to grab a decent cup and settle in with your laptop away from the usual coffee shop crowds, this hidden gem is worth a visit, just maybe skip the food on busy days.”

Based purely off 1 experience, my Turkey BLT sandwich was $8 LIKE WHAT. And it was such an average and plain sandwich, but I needed food.
It is a good old place for me and my wife but I was extremely disappointed with their service on 25th December. I went there with a hope to have the best food and came out disappointed. The waiter took a wrong order, food was produced after 40 minutes and all together. The bacon and steak was cold and hard. My experience was horrible and never thought of writing such a review for one of my favourite hangout places.
Friendly and fast service, plus tasty coffee, from this hidden gem. Way shorter lines than other chain coffee shops on/near campus.
The strategic location of this cafe means that you'll have quick access to snacks in between classes in the mall area and also while studying in the library! A good variety of foods and drinks is offered!
Good coffee. Cheaper than Starbucks. Less line than Starbucks. The only bad thing is a lack of service during weekends of final weeks.
