“ Great food and lovely atmosphere. Amazing coffee. How do they get that design on the top?! ”
“ I was surprised how spacious it was inside. There are a few dining sections, some of which are suitable for working on your laptop and others for groups. A quiche, a bagel sandwich, a rice bowl were all great. I saw some interesting tap beer options on the menu so I would love to come back to try some next time. Their large brick wall gives an impression of being in a warehouse and I think it would be awesome to see some artwork by local artists there. ”
“ A true gem in Duluth. I come to this cafe nearly every time I'm around. It's my favorite to just chill out in. Love the laid back vibe, lovely wood, and cool aesthetic. Employees are very polite and helpful, and know how to make a good Latte. ”
“ The quiche was amazing! I've only had quiche once before, but this blew me away with how good it was. And the side salad that comes with it has such a good dressing that pairs perfectly with the quiche to balance the meal out. I got the meat quiche which was perfect, my partner got the veggie one, and although still good it wasn't as good as the meat one in my opinion, it may have needed more salt or something. I had a dirty chai here and it was one of the best I've ever had, they've got some really good espresso. Service was by no means bad, it just wasn't the friendliest, great food and drinks though ”
“ An aesthetically cute and cozy place to enjoy your breakfast and coffee. The Affogato is strong yet sweet for the amount they give you. The breakfast food is excellent and great to start out your morning with. We got the Duluth traverse and the Skyline and both were more than enough for our morning breakfast. They come with a side of salad and the salad was great. The employees are very nice and helpful. There are items in this place to purchase coffee, stickers, gifts, pictures and much more, so we'd recommend walking around and looking at the neat items they have on sale. The bathrooms are very well kept and clean. Parking is easy but limited. You can parking around the block if you cannot find parking in the street. Overall, an excellent place to relax at after a long day OR an excellent start to a long day to get energized for the day. We came here when Duluth Grill was too busy and it was 100% worth it! ”
“ Would be nice to have some other milk options besides oat, almond and whole, as I currently have sensitivities to all of those. My go to that I find at most coffee shops is coconut milk, sometimes macadamia milk. love their matcha and traditional process and knowing it’s not a mix or premade. Wonderful coffee drinks as well. The food is delicious and wonderful unique recipes but sometimes portions are quite small. Amazing atmosphere and I always want to go and hangout or work for a bit. ”
“ Not too busy on a chilly weekend day. Tons of room for a quick stop or a study session and the interior is very aesthetic/cozy. Small food menu but the plates looked generous for a coffee place. The market has some very cute local crafts/art. ”
“ Great customer service! The place is beautiful, and they have board games so you can have a great time while enjoying your delicious coffee. ”
