Five Watt Coffee, E Hennepin

My mocha was delicious. The atmosphere here is fantastic. I only wish the staff had felt more welcoming. They don't greet you when you walk in at all. I was in line for a beverage and it was probably 10 mins before I was even acknowledged by any of the three staff. I understand being busy, just want to point out how the little gesture can change a person's perspective. Also, asked for a napkin and they basically rolled their eyes because I didn't know where they kept them. I'd never been here and I don't go to coffee shops often- it wasn't a good feel when I know I can go to a coffee shop that is more inviting. The place smells great and is so cool decor wise.

This 5 Watt offers welcoming and spacious space with great coffee and free parking.

While I’m sure all of their coffee offerings are wonderful, I come for the “Kingfield”. The Hawaiian black salt on top may look like someone flicked their cigarette over the cup, but it is the best cup in The Cities (especially for those who are not looking for a sweet cup of coffee).

Big windows flood the space with inviting natural light during the day. Tables of all sizes are on offer.

It’s a great venue for a casual meeting with colleagues or friends - or a place to grab some time alone with a book or sketch pad.

Come for the coffee, stay for the ppl. You can find me here year round. Can’t say enough about this location. Five Watt E Hennepin: an institution. Say hi to the plants. They’re very friendly. Get the Fog, no bitters. Bitters has alcohol, so if you’re Muslim, no bitters. I’m Muslim, no bitters.

Wonderful and interesting mixed espresso drinks. My favorite so far is the seasonal All Day/All Night drink. Each drink has such cool flavor notes, you really can't go wrong what you order.

The cool thing about Five Watt is each location has their own unique specialty drinks that are different for each location! At the Hennepin Ave one I tried their all day/all night iced and it was delicious. It was one of their sweeter drinks which I prefer. I usually ask baristas what the sweeter drinks are before ordering, and the barista at five watt mentioned that most of their drinks could be adjusted for sweetness based on personal preference.

Another great perk of this location is the large free parking lot next to it. Totally eliminates the stress of street parking in downtown!

I’ve been wanting to try five watt for a while now and I’m glad I finally got to. There’s lots of seating and free Wi-Fi as well to get work done. Love the atmosphere and it’s very spacious!

The iced Atomic Blondie is the best iced drink I've ever. So well-balanced and not too sweet. Also their espresso is excellent.

I ❤️ this coffee place. Had the busy beaver this time...highly recommend! There wasn't a seat in the place so we left for a museum. Really good!

Secured wifi, nice atmosphere, and a great tasty cup of coffee. Great stop to work remote at. I got the all day all night and tried to enjoy my coffee slowly but I just wanted to chug it because it was delicious! The foam on top is what got me! Pricey drink but worth it.

Excellent coffee!! Wow! Limited food: packaged sandwiches, but very good fir that category. A good variety of baked treats, though. 😉 People can bring in tacos later in the week that are sold nearby.

one of the baristas was growling at me as she poured whole milk, creamy and white, into a cup. We made eye contact. I looked away. I think I liked it.
