The Boiler Room Coffee Company

Awesome atmosphere and the fancy oatmeal blows me away it's so good! It's got wild rice, raisins, cranberries and pecans and tastes great with or without the complimentary cream and brown sugar.

Boiler Room is a fantastic local cafe owned by Michael Graca (who is the bees knees) and run by his fantastic staff. Its a really great hangout with local art and a loyal customer base. It really makes the neighborhood of Stevens Square quite special.

One of the cutest little coffee shops in town! It is a very cozy, basement - type café with lots of windows. Bathrooms are modern, private, large and unisex. They have a couple of big, comfy couches, some tables, and I do believe some booths as well!
On to the beverage selection!
Their Chai tea is LITERALLY the best Chai I have ever had! Whether you're in the mood for coffee or tea, their handmade collection of drinks is great for anybody.

Their vegan scones are the best!! My favorite drink is their white chocolate cherry Chai. My favorite coffee shop in Minneapolis!!

Great cozy atmosphere! Staff is always very friendly and helpful. Amazing loose-leaf tea and coffee. Horrible chai tea :(, but they definitely compensate in other areas. Wide selection of Izzi's (whaaaat?!) Try the fancy waffles!

I didn't pick up a loyalty stamp card on my first visit, but on my second visit the barista recognized me and immediately gave me a stamp card-- with the stamp I missed!
Because of that, this is definitely going to be my "special cup", at least once a week.

This place represents everything that is wrong with Minnesotan white (passive)aggresiveness and with the third wave hipster coffee shop culture. The place is cute, the owner is nice, but two of the baristas are having a very problematic power trip just because they are "in charge." It's so dangerous to make such toxic people in charge of anything. They will do anything to cover up their lack of self-confidence and self-achievement. I went there with my dog—as my friends and I witnessed countless times dogs running loose there— and the barista says my 10-pound dog is disturbing people. When I ask them, "why is my dog disturbing and not the other dog" which was at the shop at the same time and unleashed, they say "just because they are doing something bad, doesn't mean I should be doing that too"!?!? What does this mean, can someone explain? What sort of an explanation is that? Then, perplexed because I confronted them and challenged their fictitious authority, they aggressively tell me "you have to make a purchase by the way." I go there all the time, so rude, so pathetic. These people think they can enjoy their power trips by proving others that they are the "authority." But, if you ask them, they will tell you that they are anarchist and opposed to any sort of authority. Later on, when my friend and I are having our snacks that we brought because they don't have meatless or dairy-free food, they stop my friend on their way back from the restroom and tell her with a horrible attitude that "we shouldn't bring food, they sell food there." Finally, when I am leaving the store, I tell the other barista that we bring our snacks because they don't have options for us, he tries to teach the Middle Eastern immigrant customer (me) about the "general courtesy rules" and asks me with a smirk on his face to "respect the general rules." Who are you to define the "general rules"? Or , who are you to try imposing them?

Wonderful service received from a beautiful, friendly young lady!! And the coffee was awesome as well!!
Absolutely must try their famous waffles the next time I'm in town!!

The Boiler room is 1 block from my home. I love to support my neighborhood businesses. This coffee shop is cozy, dog friendly, and affordable.the coffee is excellent. Coming here is my morning ritual.

Coffee is pretty good. Barista is dismissive and rude. When someone he chooses to interact with comes in, he complains loudly about how people don’t tip him enough. It’s Disruptive to the vibe and uncomfortable.
