Crema's Take

“Tucked inside a beautifully restored historic firehouse in Saint Paul, A-Side Public House blends excellent coffee and creative cocktails with surprisingly ambitious food—think French onion soup and roasted beet salads that actually deserve the hype. The brick-and-beam atmosphere draws everyone from solo coffee drinkers to families and date-night couples, and the staff's genuine warmth (they'll remember details about you) makes this feel less like a coffee shop and more like a neighborhood gathering place worth planning ahead for.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Nice experience. Beautiful historic fire house turned into a coffee shops/eatery. Looks like they may have an original fireman’s pole. Live the brick. Great service. Beautiful day but we chose to sit inside.i would this is located in the eastern side of Highland in St. Paul.

My husband and I came here for date night and truly enjoyed ourselves. The food was great (and very well-seasoned!) and so were the drinks. The atmosphere was nice and simple. My only critique is that the water glasses have that wet-dog smell (IYKYK). We will definitely be…

Make sure you make a reservation before going because they get busy. Inside is on the louder side and tables are fairly close together but didn’t bother us. The Benedict was good, sauce was a bit too heavy for me. The English muffin was nicely toasted. Hash browns were gross!…
