SK Coffee: Whittier

I was so happy to learn SK Coffee opened their second location nearer to our house (other location is at Vandalia Tower). The whole team has done a great job making the space an inviting and upbeat place to connect with friends or simply enjoy their phenomenal coffee. From their unique roasts to their killer pastries from local bakers, you don't want to miss SK!

Third Wave Coffee is alive and well in Minneapolis. They are constantly rotating out the house blend, working with fair trade farms across the world bringing the best beans to Minneapolis. The roasting is top-tier. This place will make you like light bean espresso.

Staff is very knowledgeable. It’s like going into a weed dispensary, for coffee.

The last batch from oaxaca was amazing. The flavonoids were out of control.

Great coffee, locally-owned, good spot to walk to! Cozy nook for a larger group in the front and lots of smaller tables with abundant outlets to camp out and work. Beyond going for myself, I've also picked up a larger order of coffee carafes for a community meeting. Great experiences with both, smooth and easy to work with.

Welcome to the neighborhood! This coffee is 🔥. The vibe is bright and open, with enough space to meet a friend or do some work. Based on the foot traffic, I wouldn't call this place quiet though so be prepared for a livelier atmosphere. Nice staff!

Bright and inviting space, tons of plants, and the best coffee in the Twin Cities, completely single origin!

...and of course the coolest baristas 😎

I've been to the roastery and it's a blast, and a very different vibe given that it's in a giant spacious lobby. But this Whittier location is a breath of fresh air. Very happy to see a coffee shop not conform to every other cookie cutter menu. Bravo for trying something new and honoring the product of COFFEE itself, the personalities at origin, and stepping out of the way, removing their ego.

I sincerely wish they would not allow dogs inside. Other than that, this place is amazing. The coffee is outstanding. Latte's are coffee-forward and not too sweet. Ambiance and service are remarkable. Baristas are excited to be there. Having shared such a small space with 3 unavoidable large dogs will deter me from being a regular though.

I got a pour over and the flavor was so complex! The staff are very knowledgeable, approachable, and kind. There are also so many outlets along the bench, which was helpful for doing work. Also loved the natural light in the space.

So far, I've had 2 oat milk miels and a flat white. The miels were the best I've ever had - both times. They were delicious and very smooth - the same can be said for the flat white. I'm glad to have this place in the neighborhood!

This place isn’t it. I came here to get coffee and study, and albeit they made the place much nicer on the inside than misfit, but I couldn’t focus on anything. The music was out of control, I felt like I was in a bar on a Saturday night. My latte wasn’t good either, it tasted watered down. I won’t be back. It’s a bummer because it would be nice to finally have a good coffee shop in this location.
