Normally I shy away from any place that considers itself hip (if you call yourself hip then you definitely are not) but I had one of the best Americanos there recently.their background music leaves a lot to be desired and they need to add a good supply of pastries, then it would be my go-to coffee shop.

Visited on a Sunday morning. Very relaxing environment. Best cold brew Ive had to date. It may have been an artifact of it being an early Sunday morning, but I was hoping there would have been a larger selection of food items to choose from. More outdoor seating would have been nice. The staff is very friendly and engagingly answered all of my questions! Would recommend!

The atmosphere and branding is awesome. The coffee is fine. The customer service needs work; I felt unwelcome during my brief visit. For this reason, I probably wont be back. When you pay $7 for a latte, a simple thank you from the staff would go a long way.

I discovered this adorable up North style coffee shop through local baker Emily of Fruit and Grain on Instagram and they do not disappoint! I love grabbing a North Woods (cold brew with oat milk and maple) with my out of this world treats from Fruit and Grain. Always such a bright spot in my weekends. If you haven’t tried one of the pop tarts, you will NOT be disappointed. Truly anything in the case will be worth it, I guarantee it!

If you’re going for a walk in Minneapolis, start your walk here. One of the best americanos I’ve had in my life (and I’ve had thousands). I will definitely be making this a regular stop when I’m in Minneapolis.

Good coffee, cute place but really disappointed... Our hotel recommend them and we walked half a mile just to find out they no longer offer breakfast/lunch. An update to their information on Google would be nice.

Great coffee house - beautiful setting and cool midwestern vibe. I’m just going to say what many people are thinking - their pastries are not good. They sound better than they taste. Also , nothing is warned up. With such wonderful bakeries in the area - I’m surprised they don’t chose a better one. But if it’s the coffee - 5 star all the way.

Great coffee place, with an awesome atmosphere and a fantastic espresso. My friend had some of their baked goods which were also fantastic. Love the location, and the space. Go check them out!

Great place. Tasty high quality coffee and matcha, delicious pastries. Great customer service.

The cardamon latte was amazing and we all really enjoyed our food a lot. I loved that there was cribbage as well! Some of the staff made us feel as if we were a nuisance, which is to bad because Id love to come back for the latte and breakfast again.

Great coffee, excellent customer service, and delicious pastry. The pop tarts are my favorite! I could eat one every morning and never stop being delighted. 😍

Hands down my favorite Minneapolis coffee shop. The staff is polite and excellent at making the perfect iced latte. Service is always quick and I especially love their seasonal menus!

Delish artisan hand made pastries from scratch. The hand pies are incredible. Flakey and filled with innovative fillings, not your normal cherry pie! You get fresh hip combinations from savory to sweet every day. Grab a cup of coffee if you go too!

I come out of my way for the pastries. Emily at fruit and grain makes pop tarts (and other goodies) that have honest to death ingredients that your mom would approve of. Wish she’d open a second shop around the corner from me but don’t mind the drive for the best treats in town.

I visited here when visiting Minneapolis- this coffee shop has a great vibe, and the baristas are very friendly! I got a matcha latte, and it was great. They also serve food- would be a great spot to grab brunch with a friend or get some work done. Highly recommend Northern Coffeeworks!

Amazing coffee shop! Neighborhood feel, friendly & professional staff, superb coffee & amazing pastries! Delicious! 😋 Would highly recommend

Went there for brunch with a cousin. Atmosphere is nice. Food is absolutely delicious and fresh. The prices are high though for the amount of food.

Small coffeehouse with good coffee and light healthy breakfast. Location was great for a quick chat with a coworker in the morning. Service was great too. Paid USD4.25 for a small latte.

Great coffee and pastries! The staff is super nice too.

Love the case of pastries from Fruit and Grain. Wonderful coffee and friendly staff.

This place is ridiculous... The turkey sandwich & side salad are delicious. One of the best turkey sandwiches in town, I just love it. Staff is super friendly and not pretentious which seems to be more and more rare with independent coffee houses. Overall I just love this place. Thanks!

I was looking for coffee close to the Red Cross and this is the only coffee shop I found I was hungry so I ordered the breakfast sandwich it came with two light and fluffy melt in your mouth biscuits...I swear the biscuits were from heaven. I only know one man to make biscuits that melt in your mouth like that and he moved away😋 I cant wait to visit again

We did our first coffee Passport this morning and had a lovely brunch at Northern Coffeeworks. The staff was super friendly, the lattes were outstanding (we had the Miel and Vanilla Latte), and we shared a unique and delicious take on Biscuits & Gravy. We will definitely be back!

Love to preorder the Fruit and Grain treats and stop by and get coffee. Each time they have a new flavor poptart we have to try it - havent been disappointed yet!Delicious baked goods, coffee and friendly staff!

Great cafe with excellent roasters including Ruby and others. One of the few cafes that I have been to that offered a single origin espresso as the standard.

Friendly staff, nice location, great menu, and great ambiance. A must visit if in the area.

Their specialty lattes are so delicious! And omg the treats!! All the poptarts and handpies are so incredible! I especially love the savory hand pies and occasional quiches, but literally everything Ive had has been so good.

Fruit and Grain treats served here are delicious. I haven’t had flakey pie crust like that since my grandma died. The pop tarts are a treat for my fiancé and I that we look forward to.

This place is amazing. They know coffee, highly recommend stopping in.

Just went for my second expreso today. The first was at Angry Catfish, the Black Cat was wonderful. My second Black Cat here was great. I also was tempted by the mushroom biscuit topped with a fresh egg, delicious and tasty combination. Really nice job on renovating a old space and making it beautiful again.

Northern Coffeeworks might be my new favorite coffee shop in the Twin Cities. The ambiance is amazing, modern industrial feel, and the coffee is delicious!Most of the staff was super nice, but the girl that took our order looked like she hated her life.We got an iced mocha and the tan lines, both were so so yummy.My gf ordered the cabin breakfast with the chicken sausage. The food display was beautiful but overall, her meal was just alright.I ordered the skillet hash and added avocado and it was amazing.Overall, this place was great and we will definitely be back, but its quite expensive. We spent over $40 for 2 coffees and our meals.

Great neighborhood coffee spot with excellent beverages and a partnership with an in house bakery: Fruit and Grain. Grab a pastry while enjoying a latte.

The CUPCAKES are life!! Literally have never tasted anything as good as the Lilac Honey cupcakes!!

Great spot, but I wish they opened earlier. Opening at 9 is like opening at lunchtime for parents of small children. I need coffee sooooner!

Most beautiful and welcoming bathroom Ive ever seen. Open space, cool tables/fixtures, and good coffee make for a great coffee shop.

Coffee is very good but way overpriced. The food is really tasty but also way overpriced. A coffee and a bowl of corner beef hash (not at all what you would expect it to be, but really tasty) cost over 18$!!! Yeah there is to much completion with equal or better quality at lower prices in the city.

Good latte but no parking from sun rise to sun set.

They have ALL the milk alternatives!!! Great place for someone with allergies or dietary restrictions, but a love for good coffee.

Great place to work from! I tried the orange cardamom latte (always appreciate using real syrups and flavoring!) And, I also got the waffle because I was starving. My friend got the grilled cheese, and that looked amazing as well! The only request I would make is later hours. Even 6pm would be helpful so I can wrap up my work day without feeling rushed. (I work 8-5).

Nice new coffee shop in Minneapolis Downtown East. Ticks a lot of boxes: good coffee, cozy modern decor, friendly staff, quieter with better acoustics than some of their competitors. My major gripe is that they dont have skim milk or even 1% available and that this seems to be a bad trend among new shops. Beware that parking is street only.

Northern coffee is really special and unique

I was excited to try out this new shop, open just three months.Espresso gets a 👍🏼. It was delicious. House Espresso from Sweet Bloom Coffee. Natural process bean for a slightly sweeter tang.Sparkling Tea that tastes great and is naturally sweet, no sugar added!

GREAT coffee, delicious snacks, in a relatively quiet environment. Friendly staff as well. Nice local business

This coffee shop is amazing! My co-workers and I came here everyday while we were in town for the Xgames. Coffee is top-notch and the food is delicious. I absolutely love the interior design and even the baristas aprons were cute. Excellent customer service too. Please open up a shop in Seattle! 😉

We came for coffee, but we come back for the food!

Great coffee, lovely atmosphere. Had the gravlax off the brunch menu and LOVED it!

The quality and innovations here are near untouchable, just wish it was slightly cheaper, but,,,, never regret spending it. To be specific, I got a columbian pour over a while ago for $7, but gotta be honest it may be one of the best cup of pour overs I’ve had in recent years, definitely the best in town!!!!

Excellent coffee and great food options. Cool merch- the logo is clean and looks great on everything. Friendly staff too!

Business was closed on 08/17 unexpectedly, unsure if it is one time thing or...

Great matcha lattes and service

My goto place to meet my neighbors for a meetings.

Best vegan iced vanilla latte in the Twin Cities! Get it with oat milk.They have very creative drinks, like a fancy cocktail bar but coffee. All have received good reviews by people Ive brought here, although I stick with my go-to latte.Havent tried the food. Also of note, they offer beer and wine.

By far the best Vanilla Latte I have ever had it had become part of my weekend ritual to stop here. Plus the staff is amazing, always polite and very knowledgeable.

Delicious! Just go there. Note there is parking directly behind the building. Not next to the bookstore.

By far the best coffee in the Twin Cities. Most lattes had tasted the same to me until I had one from Northern that was above and beyond any other coffee I had tasted. Sad that I dont live within walking distance anymore!

Delicious latte, smooth and beautiful, and pop tarts from Fruit & Grain bakery. I had the salted caramel apple pop tart and it was glorious. Nom nom nom. Ill definitely be back!

06/08/2019 Each visit to NC reminds me of the possible joys in life. Each employee wins an award for congeniality in life & profession. I always get a dark roast coffee of the day. No fussy drinks. I just need the dose of caffeine & some warmth. Both in drink form & genuine human cordiality. Highly recommended!

GREAT COFFEE DRINKS! We meticulously hunt the twin cities for new coffee shops. The moment this one popped up last year, we were immediately extremely impressed, and it has joined our top 5 list.The atmosphere is cheery and relaxed, modern and tasteful. Great staff are the core of this experience, and never disappoint!

This place was modern and on-trend without feeling pretentious. Loved it!

One reviewer said it was similar to uncle Louies in Duluth but they must be talking about their uncles place. The homemade sausage did not taste like sausage at all. The coffee was mediocre at best and both of our over easy eggs were hard as a rock. Even tho its convenient. We wont be back

It’s my favorite spot to hang out and enjoy amazing coffee and food in a beautiful and super chill atmosphere, surrounded by people making community in Downtown East.

Came here on a -6 morning. Welcome warmth. Food was outstanding. Coffee drinks were good, but only offered in one size and pretty small for price.

My wife suggested a visit. It was phenomenal! Had the vanilla latte and bacon and egg (cabin breakfast) plate. The vibe of the establishment was active, bright and friendly. Really glad we visited.

The Coffee was not good

The food was delicious great customer service.. The biscuits in the homemade jam was bangin... Oh my goodness 5 stars..... Thank you for such great customer service..

We had the cabin breakfast, which was good, but the potatoes were a bit colder than the rest of the food. Cold brew coffee was very good! It was a bit pricey for the service provided (order at the counter, clear your table...).

This place is awesome! We enjoyed the fabulous special “apple pickin” oat milk latte and egg/biscuit sandwiches. So good!!

Properly portioned espresso drinks is a big plus. Decor is nice. Id go here again.

Best Matcha latte in the cities. and the grain cookie is great.

Friendly, fast service. Great coffee and food at a really reasonable price. I had the granola which was lovely and an awesome oat latte. Highly recommend.

Best coffeeshop in the twin cities. Its hard to find a place that serves great coffee AND great food. This third wave coffeeshop does both! It can get a little full for seating on the weekends, but it has never been a big problem for me.

Northern Coffeeworks has to be my favorite coffee shop in the Twin Cities. Thats saying a lot because were fortunate to have so many great coffee shops, and Ive been to most of them.It rises to the top for me because, first and foremost, their coffee drinks are consistently excellent. They use quality products and great equipment, and they craft the drinks with skill and care. And this excellence carries over to their other beverages and their food items.Ive enjoyed their drinks and food over many visits, and Ive not seen a misstep yet. This place is clearly well conceived and well managed. The environment is great for hanging out with friends or your laptop.The staff are always super friendly and really make you feel welcome.They become my favorite because every time Ive been there Northern Coffeeworks has been excellent through and through!

Best cold brew I’ve ever had! Food was amazing. Coconut flavored jelly.. so interesting and tasty! Can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in Minneapolis!

Orange marshmallow latte is pretty awesome. Would have personally liked skim milk though in drinks, but they dont carry it

Cool atmosphere. Excellent coffee! Food menu was lacking. Hopefully they add some items. What little food we did order was very tasty though.

Northern Coffee was just across the street from my hotel, so I had plenty of opportunities to stop in for some food and excellent coffee. The drip coffee was especially impressive, as they provide a glass beaker with extra coffee to top off your mug. The food prices seemed a bit high, but the coffee quality is absolutely top-notch and everything is made right there for you fresh. And the service is so friendly!

Had a good experience at Northern Coffeeworks. I parked just around the corner in a metered parking spot. I was told there is no designated parking for the shop. Really enjoyed the Kenyan pour over they had. At 3pm on a Friday every table was taken so I sat at the bar seating. That atmosphere was comfortable. The longer I stayed the busier it got and eventually one of the seats next to me was taken as well. When it gets busy, the bar seating is a bit cozy. That didn’t bother me too much but may be uncomfortable for others.Overall, this was a great experience with great coffee.

A cute little coffee shop in downtown. They have a range of delicious beverages ( alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and a small but mighty food menu. My only complaint is that its really tiny and you may not be able to get a spot immediately.

Awesome local coffee shop. Great service and tasty food plus a great vibe

I came on a Saturday at 2 pm - there were only a few open spots, but the atmosphere was lively. I usually like to study in places like this, so the noise level worked for me. I ordered a Orange Lavender Latte with Oat milk (they also had almond milk) and it was amazing, and wait time was less than five minutes.In general the atmosphere and service here is excellent. The food is great, and the coffee is just as good. But, while the wifi worked on my phone, my laptop couldnt find it - and for studying thats somewhat important

A great place to get a pourover, and I love their trail cookie. The full spectrum of coffee flavors is available at NC within their roasts.

Awesome hidden gem. Meticulously prepared (and great tasting) coffee drinks and a surprisingly tasty breakfast/lunch menu. Wine & Beer on tap are just icing on the cake ;)

This is one my favorite coffee shops in the Twin Cities! The space is clean and bright, the coffee is excellent (often stocking Onyx and Intelligentsia), and the food is fantastic. On a side note, if you bike to the shop and need a bike lock, ask if they have one at the counter; they’ll let you borrow one as you enjoy your coffee.

Northern has been a favorite since moving here. Their prices have gone up, but the quality has stayed as high. Homemade biscuits + jam are a go-to. They also serve nationally known coffee roasters, like Intelligentsia and Ruby and Onyx.

Awesome little coffee shop with a hipster vibe. Coffee was great, they had plenty of service available, and a decent amount of room. The prices seemed a little high which may stop me from visiting too often, but Ill probably return if the right circumstances arise.

This place has a wonderful vibe. For me, It always feels relaxed, awesome staff, great music at a comfortable volume and one of the best mochas ive ever had. This is currently in my top three for Minneapolis best mocha and coffee in general . A wonderful start to my today .Thanks!

Excellent vegetable hash and espresso based drinks. Had a few seasonal lattes that looked good as well. Beautiful, open, airy space with tables to work and chat.

Great environment and coffee

This place is in a great location and the food is pretty good. Its rather pricey and you need to pay for on street parking. Their macchiato is fantastic and I liked the Heirloom Tomato Sandwich. The staff is typically coffee shop level of friendliness.

Clean, bright environment with wonderful staff. Everyone is always so friendly and their coffee and food is delicious!

Northern Coffeeworks is a hidden treasure in Minneapolis. From the outside it looks like a quaint coffee spot. When you get inside you find a very modern elegant space. The star of the Northern Coffeeworks is the food. You will struggle to find another coffee shop with as refined a menu as Northern Coffeeworks. The menu is refined and sophisticated. Everything is delicious and beautifully presented. Places like this are usually confined to LA New York or Miami. The twin cities is extremely lucky to have a place as high quality as Northen Coffeeworks. The coffee is also great. The baristas are among the best in the Midwest. I cant recommend Northern Coffeeworks enough. Do yourself a favor and visit The Twin Cities hidden culinary treasure, youll be glad you did.

Tasty breakfast sandwich and a good cup of coffee. Modern cafe that is bustling, but chill. Bus your dishes to the back toward the water station.

Good vibe. Good coffee. Nice breakfast. Easy lunch.

Delicious BLT biscuit. Top-notch interior design. Cool DJ music. Good atmosphere for socializing.

Amazing! Just went in for happy hour. I highly recommend the pickled plate WITH the cheese plate. Paired perfect with a glass of red wine. And the staff is so sweet and friendly! Definitely my favorite new place in Mpls.

The food and coffee were equally amazing and the interior is light and uplifting. This is a great spot for a casual meal and has a Birchwood feel without the large crowd.

One of my favorite coffee shops- both food and coffee are consistently delicious and the space is super chic. In a great location near the river so if you cant find a table inside you can get your coffee to go and take a walk!

Great place. The baristas are really nice and they do a great job. My one complaint, Ive been there twice and the customers all feel like they stare you down when you walk in and they will not be friendly if you look in their direction. Its what I thought...

Favorite new coffee shop in Minneapolis. The layout and aesthetic is near perfection—every detail has been meticulously thought through, from the tables built by Concrete Pig down to the icon and colors used for the restroom signage—the logo and visual brand identity is delicious to look at, the music selection is fitting, and the variety and quality of drinks and food is great. The baristas are exceptionally friendly as well. I’m in love with everything about this place.

I absolutely adore this place. The employees are kind, helpful, and friendly; the atmosphere is calming and relaxing; and the crowd Northern Coffeeworks attracts have a similar demeanor. Not only that, but Northern Coffeeworks backs everything up with delicious food. The pressed turkey sandwich is my go to order and my boyfriend tried the hash today and said it was the most unique and delicious take on hash hes ever had. Today I tried the orange and lavender latte which was fantastic and the salted caramel mocha is another fav. If I can ever pull myself away from the pressed turkey though, the goal is to try everything on the menu! I live in the south metro but making the trip out here is ALWAYS worth it!!
