Great space, cool people, unfortunately mediocre coffee. In the day of third wave coffee, 5 watt hasn't caught the wave. Their coffee isn't burned to a Starbucks grade char, but it's way past right roast. Bummer since I live a block away.

We enjoyed this friendly, local coffee shop!

Hard to pick up a package from Amazon locker here due to weird hours. I work a tight schedule and arrived to pick up my package at exactly 4pm. I was rudely turned away, even though I had seen someone else enter 30 seconds before me. I understand closing times, but it takes 1 minute to pick up a package while the employee is closing down. A little politeness, kindness and understanding would go a long way.

This cafe has a nice vibe to chill and They have amazon hub locker. Super convenient.
When it comes to coffee, I have only tried their coffee beans and would give 4/5 for their store blend. it was unique but not attractive to my taste buds.

What a gem. Their coffees are like artisanal cocktails--really interesting mixes of flavors. I had a matcha with basil syrup and fennel bitters. A unique and delicious combo. Order in a ceramic mug and enjoy the experience. P.S. The staff is warm and kind.

This is a truly unique coffee shop. Their drinks are inspired by cocktails and feature different kinds of bitters. They make their own bitters as well. I highly recommend going here and trying their various drinks. I love the variety of combinations they have. Recently I have had their specialty drink called the Shot in the Nutz. It had espresso, milk, nutella, and brownie batter bitters in it. I have also had their specialty strawberry Kingfield drink which was delicious. They also have a byo cup discount.

Heaven is a place on Earth and it is found in the cup of any drink from Five Watt, especially this one. Friendly staff, always changing music based on who the barista is, and they get to know their regulars...while being just as awesome to newcomers and single-time guests. I absolutely love this place.

The kingsfield is a classic and the coffee shops always have great music playing. I usually have to add at least 3 songs to my Playlist every time I go here.

Once again, Five Watt wows and delights! The best part is the super kind staff. I am glad to see another location open up. My husband's coffee was rich, and my iced London Fog drink was delicious. It had fennel and coriander in it! They are so creative with their flavors. The space is both spacious and cozy at the same time, and very clean. What a great place to come and spend time with your family (like us) or get some work/reading done.

Great coffee and I love that they support local artists/podcasts. The local art on the walls is fantastic! It’s an eclectic coffee shop with a friendly staff, too. A must-see place if you are visiting the Twin Cities. Yes, you have to visit!
