Summer Calls for Iced Coffee Around the Twin Cities
When you're busy exploring Minneapolis homes for sale all day, it's normal to feel an afternoon slump. A tasty cup of iced coffee can give you the refreshing pick-me-up your need to keep moving forward on your house-hunting mission.
Luckily, there are many great local coffee shops where you can get a perfect cup of iced java. Our real estate agents often frequent them when they've had a long day of showing Minneapolis and St. Paul homes for sale. Here are a few of their favorites.
- Quixotic Coffee: 769 Cleveland Ave. S, St. Paul, MN 55116
Located in the trendy Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul, Quixotic Coffee offers up a selection of amazing cold brew specialty drinks. If you're ready to take your iced coffee habit to the next level, you'll definitely want to pay them a visit.
We recommend the Marko Polo, a nitro cold brew made with half & half, housemade caramel, and housemade vanilla. It's perfectly shaken and served over ice. If you want something a bit more simple, they also offer their signature cold brew and nitro cold brew on tap. - Bread & Chocolate: 867 Grand Ave, St. Paul, MN 55105
A family-owned bakery and coffeehouse, Bread & Chocolate puts a dash of love into everything they make. Their traditional cold brew is always a good bet. If you're in the mood for a treat, you'll have plenty of options. Their coffee menu features flavors like Swiss Almond, Raspberry White, Spice Island, Turtle, and Nutella!
If you're hungry too, you may want to order a treat from their breakfast or lunch menu or indulge in one of their incredible fresh-made bakery items. - Five Watt Coffee: 3745 Nicollet Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55409
Five Watt Coffee is a hip, modern venue serving up espresso drinks inspired by craft cocktails. Some of their most popular iced drinks are the Gin Basil Smash, made with nitro cold press, basil syrup, gin bitters, and cream - or the 1994 Boyz made with cold press, vanilla syrup, blackstrap bitters, cinnamon, and cream. It's even topped with a Tootsie Roll!
They also serve an award-winning specialty food menu at every location as well as a variety of unique seasonal drinks. - Northern Coffeworks: 1027 S. Washington Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55415
For delicious iced coffee, tasty food, and a great vibe, you can't go wrong with a visit to Northern Coffeeworks. They make an excellent cold brew and also have a selection of fun specialty drinks.
Try their Orange Dreamsicle Latte made with vanilla and orange bitters or the North Woods, made with cold brew, oat milk, and maple syrup. Don't forget to order one of their homemade pop tarts or a seasonal hand pie! - Dogwood Coffee Co.: 1209 Tyler St. NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413
A local coffee roaster with three area cafe locations (Northeast, East Lake, and St. Paul), Dogwood Coffee Co. offers some of the area's best brews. We recommend ordering an espresso on ice, an iced coffee, or an iced latte.
One of the best things about this option is that if you really like the coffee, you can purchase bags to make at home. They also offer monthly coffee subscriptions, so you can have your favorite beans delivered right to your door.
From great coffee shops to a rich culture and great schools, there's a lot to love about living in the Twin Cities! If you're ready to make this area your new home, we're here to help. Call today to discuss your goals and start exploring some of the great homes currently for sale in the area.
