Cute area to stop in to get some work done or even catch up with a friend. Love the outdoor area the most as it's spacious. Lots of room for parking
Amazing place, amazing coffee. One of the best places in Minneapolis & St. Paul. Great prices & good atmosphere.
Great service and delicious drinks! Busy which is great but would not recommend as a remote work location. A little loud.
Great service and ambiance! The lattes were good and service was quick. I would go back
Tried a couple of drinks here. Both the hot oat milk cafe latte and oat milk matcha latte were delicious treats on a chilly winter morning. I also thoroughly enjoyed their raisin pastry. I heated it for a couple seconds in the microwave (at home) and it was buttery and light. An A+ breakfast. The interior of the cafe was well decorated and had plenty of spaces to hang out with friends or work independently. The staff were also super friendly and got the drink orders out quickly. It looks like the partner with other local businesses as well, which was cool. They were selling Niko Niko boba and some food items in the refrigerated section by the register. I imagine if I lived in this building, I'd be coming here quite often. Def recommend giving this place a visit!
Love this cafe! They recently moved from their old St Paul location to this more brightly lit, spacious spot. I love their cold brew and latte, and I believe they also sell pastries from Marc Heu. Service is always friendly and welcoming. Parking is street only but it's relatively easy to find. They have outlets throughout the cafe as well for anyone looking to get work done.
I love Dogwood coffee. I usually get a maple latte (or venture to try one of their seasonal drinks) a with their bear hug roast. So so good! As a fan, I also appreciate their loyalty rewards program: buy 10 drinks, get 1 free.
I like Dogwood Coffee, and was SO excited when they opened this location two blocks from my house. Good coffee, nice staff. I particularly like their speciality Marc Heu pastry that they do on the weekends. This location is pretty spacious and has cheerful decor; I've brought my laptop and worked from here many times. Giving 4 stars because 1) they're slow. The light rail is across the street -- if you're trying to get a coffee before you catch the light rail, don't. You'll likely miss your train bc of the wait. 2) Expensive. I can't get an americano here everyday because I'd go bankrupt. Nice as a sometimes treat, though!
I like a coffee shop that takes their basic black coffee seriously. Dogwood does that without a doubt. One of my go to spots when I need an afternoon caffeine bump. Though I never get the chance to this location also looks like a great place to get some work done with booths set up to give maximum privacy l and space to focus in a small space. I also like the bar seating as well. There is even a room that looks great for a large group if you are into that.
I came here for a Fluffy Bakery pop-up (scored one of their Browned Butter Date donuts, too-score!), and I am so glad that I did. This coffee shop hit all the right notes--the decor was great with a blend of chic (dark wood and beautiful seating) and playful (that wallpaper, though!). Great indoor and outdoor seating options for parties of all sizes. I was really impressed with the selection of beverages. They had all the classic coffeehouse favorites plus some fun others, as well as an above average set of options for customization (they offer maple syrup as a sweetener!). I grabbed a cappuccino (almond milk and maple syrup), and it went down oh so well. Fantastic, friendly service (I needed some help choosing my second pastry), too! The only downside here is that parking is a little bit tight, so you might need to walk a couple of blocks.
