Mi Cartagena Cafe

A great view of the lake from the deck, excellent coffee..and owners are super nice! Love this place.

Absolutely adorable spot to sit on the patio and enjoy the lake in the morning. Quiet and beautiful, and the coffee was absolutely amazing! We also got two pastries-both of which were delicious. The service was friendly and the whole experience was lovely.

Cute place on DL! Great patio to grab a cold drink. Ice Passion drink was delicious, not too sweet and just the right amount of tart!

Kerlis runs a fantastic coffee shop. Her coffee drinks, pastries, and ambience are a welcome alternative to Starbucks, Caribou Coffee and all other corporate giants who have long lost their personality. And check out the lakeside view--incredible!

Coffee and atmosphere are perfect combo for lake lovers and coffee connoisseurs. A vacation feel while at home, my new happy place. 🖤☕🌞

BY FAR the best quality coffee in Detroit Lakes. I’m having trouble putting into words how much better the coffee is here than other shops in town. If you want your latte, mocha, cappuccino, or any other coffee drink prepared correctly and with loving dedication, come here. If you want bitter, hastily prepared garbage prepared by people just drifting from job to job, go to one of the other shops in town. I wholeheartedly recommend Mi Cartagena for an amazing coffee experience.

The coffee here is incredible! As is the atmosphere. The owner and operator, whose name I am sad I never asked, is talented, kind, and has a fun energy that radiates! We had a hot mocha, and iced tiki tiki Jack (raspberry white mocha) which were both delicious! Officially a must-stop for us now when in DL. <3

Great service with very good coffee. Kids said the smoothie was awesome. Very nice outdoor patio by the lake. Highly recommend if you’re looking for coffee in DL.

Overall a great place! Cute Columbian style coffee shop right on the lake. I had trouble reading the menu but barista was happy and willing to explain. The espresso isn't strong strong, but the latte as a whole was very smooth. Small inside ordering area but a large deck outside to make up for that. I will definitely return!

Amazing locally owned cafe serving up plenty of unique offers for coffee lovers and beyond. Tried a matcha, mango, lemon drink that was perfectly made and delicious. Owner Kerlis was a gem and has clearly put her heart and soul into her business. Definitely worth a stop while in DL! Will be back.
