Walden Coffee
520 NE Lowry Ave, Minneapolis, MN
Crema's Take
“Walden Coffee is an espresso-focused gem where thoughtfully balanced shots shine in both traditional and specialty drinks, anchored by their notably creamy oat milk that regulars rave about. The space itself feels designed for lingering—well-lit and genuinely welcoming, with a bookshelf tucked into one corner and plenty of room to spread out, whether you're studying, meeting a friend, or just settling in with a pastry. It's the kind of neighborhood spot in Northeast Minneapolis where the baristas remember you and the coffee is consistently excellent, making it easy to understand why people keep coming back.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

We were in town and walked down to Walden Coffee. The shop was so cozy and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The lattes were well made and we appreciated the bookshelf in one corner with kids’ toys. We’ll definitely be back on future visits!
As an avid Twin Cities coffee snob, I had to check out Walden Coffee. I am regularly in NE, so it’s in a great location for me. Concerning atmosphere, the place is well lit and for a seeming smaller and longer space, it accommodates a great amount of seating. I appreciate the…
