Encore Coffee Cafe

I doubt I’ve had better coffee than this coffee shop. I’m dead serious. I live in Mpls and have traveled across the country - this place is a GEM. I’m not you’re average coffee drinker, I’ve grown up on homemade espresso drinks and my father roasts his own beans.
I love the flavor of this coffee. The espresso was strong but but bitter, the almond milk the was steamed to perfection. I love the Victorian era bathroom and decor too - so novel. If you’re passing through this place is a MUST-STOP, if you live in St James, I envy you. You don’t know what you have! Places like this are rare!

First time visit to this coffee shop ! It’s soo cute ! I bought a iced latte & lemon poppyseed scone absolutely delicious 😄🙌 staff was so sweet! Highly recommend this coffee shop 😁

I live 2 hours away but I once lived in St. James for 8 months... I absolutely LOVE this cafe! Best food and treats. And great coffee.
I often ate their 3-4 x a week.
I came to visit today to pick up homemade Christmas cookies!! And ate my favorite sandwich/melt 'The Turkey Gobbler' so good!!!

My husband and I just moved to town from Colorado and stopped in to grab a cup of coffee, the building is beautiful and the coffee is amazing! The owner was also kind enough to give us a recommendation to check out the bakery across the street since we're new to town. Will definitely be coming back a lot!

You know it's going to be a great day when you start your day with Encore's Coffee!

Have always enjoyed eating here when we are in town. This time we were very disappointed at the egg salad sandwich. The bread was several days old and the egg salad was sparse. Hopefully our favorite salad will be available the next time we visit

I've been going to this same place for over 6 years, and its is all SOOO good. It used to be an opera house so the decor is is amazing inside and out! The tables are always clean and food and coffee is always hot. So many different coffees, and the you cant go wrong with any of the sandwiches, but my favorite and suggestion to you is the Hermanwitch I had a couple of weekends ago. I now work here and is the best job I've ever had. Hope you chose to stop in, trust me you wont regret it😁 Payton B.

Legitimately one of the best iced coffees I’ve ever had, strong and not watered down. I got it with 1/2 vanilla flavor, my fiancé got no flavor. Both were excellent, mine just had a slight sweetness to it which I like. Appreciate the efforts the establishment is making to limit covid spread as well: employees wearing masks, hand sanitizer set out. If you’re in the area - which Id recommend as a nice quick stop 5 min off the highway with a cute main street - then don’t miss this coffee!!

They opened in an old bank, lovely architecture. Really nice atmosphere. Excellent service. Coffee and cookie both quite good. Will visit again when I'm in town.

Encore is such a great place! The food is yummy, the coffee is tastey, the sweets are fabulous and the bathroom is just too fun! Heather has an amazing place! Love it!
