Dogwood Coffee - St. Paul

Nice place with decent parking. Good large area for gatherings.

Long wait midday for a simple cuppa. Only one barista (she was good but a tad overwhelmed by the number of customers). Music was chill, but the cement floor and hard furniture made it a bit loud and easy to overhear talkers even if you wouldn't want to. Coffee was ok and not tepid as is sometimes the case when you get pre-prepared brewed coffee. If you have wheels there are better choices; I suspect the clientele included many people from adjacent apartments.

LOVE their coffee. The roasts bring out the distinct flavors of particular beans and regions, especially if you can wait for a pourover. Also, fine artistry with the espresso drinks. The baristas are helpful. The space gets pretty loud with the hard surfaces echoing conversations, so bring your audio gear if you need that to focus or work. If you feel munchy, the croissants are enticing. Dogwood carries the kouign amahn from Marc Heu Patisserie, a buttery Belgian spin on the classic danish and also his ham & cheese cruffin (croissant/ muffin hybrid). Yogurt parfaits are available if you want to balance your calories a bit more. Features: Tables have distance

Best shot/volume standereds! Great serves and menu. 100% worth trying.

The coffee is as good as any Dogwood location. The atmosphere in this location is pretty lacking though. The other spaces feel inviting and exciting. This is just some tables shoved into an open space. Parking: There are a few spots right in front, otherwise it's street parking that is pretty sparse with all of the apartments/condos in the area.

Went to this location of Dogwood on a Saturday. Was my first time there, I have gone to the Northeast location many times. There was a good amount of seating and the music was not too loud as it can be at some cafes. I brought my own mug, unsure of whether they could use it and to my delight they were able to use it and you are given a small discount/incentive to bring your own mug. Overall a great experience! Something I was wondering about was whether cyclists get some kind of perk there. I heard this in passing but had no idea what it was about.
