Code Blu Coffee

Code Blu coffee is by far one the the best cups of coffee you'll have. Their hot and cold brew are great options. We even buy their beans that they roast onsite. All around a great small coffee shop. Show the brothers some love and buy their coffee!

Action figure decor and a tight counter area belie the quirky warmth and excellent barista-ing going on behind the counter. A mix of random traffic and loyal regulars. I hope this neighborhood gem gains a wider following.

Easily some of the best coffee I've ever had. This is the best coffee shop in the twin cities! The owners are incredibly genuine and kind, and their coffee is reasonably priced! You literally can't get this cheap and high quality of coffee anywhere else. This place deserves recognition!

Great coffee, better to spend locally than Nationally.

Went here to get some freshly roasted beans. They had several different options and they were all roasted that day.

The guy behind the counter was very nice and gave me some recommendations. Prices range from $10/lb to I think $13/lb and I love that you can buy as much (or as little) as you need.

My only suggestion would be to offer one or two light roast options. Their thing seems to be strong coffee and pretty much all their options were darker roasts.

Such a cool relaxing atmosphere!! Great staff and delicious coffee. Loved going here at night

This place would be absolutely AMAZING if they had more space. Usually, I pick a coffee shop based upon being able to stay for a while and work or to meet with folks. Code Blu isn't quite set up for that. They've got seating for maybe a dozen people tops, and only group seating for a few folks.

Having said that, their coffee is great. And the place has a vibe that reminds me of the golden age of cafes. Sipping an excellent latte while working at my counter-height perch, I'd be tempted to think I'm sitting in NYC or San Francisco in 1999. The location is betrayed by the view of Franklin Avenue. And the era is betrayed by the delightful next-wave coffee.

But all in all, for what it is, I dig it.

I LOVE this place so so much. Such a hidden gem with good vibes and quality coffee drinks. I'm not a huge coffee person, so I usually go by Frapshake or smoothie option, but let me tell you one thing. Their zebra Frapshake is ANOTHER WORLD--honestly one of the best coffee drinks I've ever had in my life with 0 exaggeration. Not to mention its generous size ($5.75 for 24oz sounds not bad at all for me), it retains perfect balance of dark and white mocha, which in turn creates heavenly good bittersweetness. It is rather milky than ice-crunchy, finely blended and smooth, but you can tell it is VERY dense mocha flavor at the same time.

If you are caffeine-sensitive like me, you can always ask for decaf, which I think is also great. Oh, and this place is also opened everyday :) I would highly recommend this place to anyone who's looking for local coffee place serving quality coffee, sweet deserts/bakeries with unique vibes!

Absolutely the most delicious coffee in all of Minneapolis!! My favorite is their caramel macchiato, iced or hot, it's satisfying and robust 💚 COFFEE BEANS FROM AROUND THE WORLD!!!

They're passionate about coffee!!

There are lots of places within walking distance that sell coffee and they each have their value. The difference is, Code Blue is PASSIONATE about their coffee. They roast their beans on site and are excited to talk about their processes and tool which they have clearly put a lot of thought, research into.

The space is small but it's not cramped. It's well finished and cozy. They've made a small foot print go a long way.

If you want a curated coffee that tastes like a lot of thought and care went into its creation; this is the place for you.
