Lowertown Bike Shop Coffee Station

Came here for a bike lock but they don’t open the bike portion of the store until 1pm apparently. Got a tasty coffee instead.

Serving up backstory coffee (my favorite of all twin cities coffee) inside the union depot. This shop, like the others in the depot, are a worthwhile stop. Staff was friendly and took the time to check ingredients for me so I could find a dairy free drink. I went with an oat milk maple latte which had actual maple syrup in it. I hear there’s a shop dog around some days too, although not on Sunday mornings. Stop in and grab a coffee and then check out Story Line Books or the train shop next door.

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 reason!).

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 from the street. Pretty neat place. Not a place to sit and chat, as there is no seating at all. Parking is on street, and you may have to walk a ways.

Honestly, didn't expect much because of not much information about this coffee place and also because it's literally also a bike store. However!!!! I loved it!!! Host is super friendly, explained me that they start serving coffee only 2 months ago and as for tourist she suggested me places to visit. And first things first - coffee is very good!!! Not DD or Starbucks, it's a genuine good coffee. Highly recommended!!!
