Fawkes Alley Coffee
1621 Harmon Pl, Minneapolis, MN
Crema's Take
“Fawkes Alley is a Minneapolis gem where exceptional baristas craft adventurous signature drinks like espresso tonics alongside perfectly pulled traditional espresso, all served in a warm, inviting space that feels equally at home for a solo laptop session or a long catch-up with friends. The patio seating and dog-friendly policy make it the kind of neighborhood spot where you can linger for hours, and the full breakfast menu and quality pastries mean you'll actually want to stick around. With consistently stellar service and a real sense of care behind every cup, this is the rare coffee shop that impresses on every visit.”

This is truly one of the best coffee shops I’ve ever visited. The customer service is exceptional, and the baristas are consistently friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is amazing—warm, inviting, and incredibly cozy, making it the perfect spot to relax or get some work done. The drinks are outstanding and full of flavor, easily some of the best I’ve had. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great coffee experience.
I tried this wild combo: tonic water with coffee. Perfect for adventurous taste buds like mine—I totally recommend it. But if your style is more classic, maybe skip this one. Service was great, and the view outside the café was really lovely.
I didn’t realize there was a local coffee shop so close to me. It was SOOOO good. Good pricing and good food/drinks. Also dog friendly. They had indoor seating and patio seating. I was very impressed and will be back frequently!
Went to this coffee shop for the first time and wasn't disappointed. They make great espresso tonic drinks and they have a nice outdoor patio area plus some seating inside. Their location by Loring Park is super nice plus they give back to the community. Highly recommend giving them a try if you are in the area!
Our first visit and it won't be our last. The coffee is great, the aesthetic is nice and the batista was really nice. There are several tables for congregating, plus a nice patio area that we can't wait to enjoy when spring finally arrives. It's dog friendly, we met 3 dogs while we were there. I wish I wouldn't take a photo of the St. Bernard. She was beyond adorable 😍. Once again I forgot to take a photo of our coffees, but you know it's good when my husband orders 2 Lattes. ☕
