Lowertown Bike Shop Coffee Station
214 4th St E UNIT 120, Saint Paul, MN
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside a sprawling bike shop in Saint Paul's Union Depot, this coffee station punches above expectations with genuinely thoughtful espresso drinks—think lavender lattes that actually taste like lavender and cortados pulled by people who clearly know their craft. The owner brings a personal warmth to every order, making it feel less like a quick caffeine grab and more like a genuine conversation, even if you're squeezing in a coffee while browsing floor-to-ceiling bikes. It's an unconventional pairing that somehow works beautifully, serving what regulars call some of the Twin Cities' best coffee in one of the city's most unexpected spots.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Quick-grab spot.

A lavender latte that actually tastes like lavender! The Americano was also delicious. The owner was very friendly and the coffee was worth it. Mostly a bike shop, yes, but if you are waiting for the train I suggest stopping in (or even if you're just in Lowertown for whatever…
Good coffee in a shop that is 99% bike shop. Floor to ceiling bikes, smaller area for coffee and treats. My Cortado was good, and I’ve found that shops that have cortados usually/most often know how to pull a good espresso shot. The shop is inside Union Station, not visible…
