Five Watt Coffee, E Hennepin

One of my new favorite coffee places- great quality coffee that is so deliciously unique!

Do not miss their all day all night coffee. It’s my all time favorite. Love all of their coffees, I’ve tried the entire menu by now! This is one of the best coffee houses for me to take my laptop and work. The place has parking which is really really welcome, and the coffee is great as well. I took my papers to grade, and the ambiance was just lovely!

Excellent coffee and cocktails, one of the best cafes in NE.

My favorite coffee shop in the Twin Cities! I spend so much time here working on assignments, grading, and reading. Reasonable prices and great drip coffee. Easy parking, lots of tables and outlets at each. I love the big windows. Wonderful staff. Thanks Five Watt for helping me survive grad school!

Great ambiance, lots of tables to work at. Parking lot makes it easy too! Enjoyed my Kingfield with oat milk.

Great coffee. I’ve tried “The Residency” blend, roasted recently on 9/18 and it was smooth and flavorful. I highly recommend it.

Cozy shop serving high quality coffee! The staff are friendly, make an effort to get to know the customer, and go out of their way to make regulars feel appreciated. The turkey sandwich is AMAZING. Love that they advertise local music/bands and art within the shop. Five Watt also supports local food, beer, and spirits. The only issue with this location is the cross walk on Hennepin outside the cafe; not many drivers obey the signal.

Very friendly staff ready to help as soon as you walk in the door. Excellent coffee house vibes - the music wasn't too loud and the local artwork was inspiring to look at. It's a great place to gather for a deep conversation or a cozy spot to sit and write for a morning.

What a letdown. Had seen lots of great reviews and my experience didn't match them. Trying the baked goods was unnecessary, you could see they wouldn't be good. My partner tried a muffin anyway. It was ok. The coffee though was not ok. The flavored latte she got was overly sweetened. Starbucks level over sweetening. Very very sweet. Some people probably like it I guess. The double shot latte I had was at least not overly sweet, but it tasted watered down & a bit burnt. All this was surprising as this place has better reviews than other more high end, coffee snobbish type places I love. Anyway, this happens sometimes when you try new coffee shops. Maybe it was an off day. Maybe the crew was poorly trained or in a bad mood or management did something to throw off the flow. I don't know. This was the first and will be the only time I try Five Watt. I wasn't going to leave a review but Google prompted me with a notification or three until I gave in & wrote this.

If you like the urban hippie vibe, this place is for you. For myself, I was not impressed with the slow service, lack of space, and industrial atmosphere. Coffee was pretty good, but I prefer Caribou.
