This place had ok coffee but it was an extremely uncomfortable temperature in there so I couldn't really stay very long to enjoy it. It took awhile before there was even a spot to sit down. I didn't try any of the food.
gets crowded at times, but I don't mind. I wish the upstairs would be converted to more seating. The iced miel is very good. the staff are friendly and I'm absolutely in love with the window area w/ the plants
Great concept behind the environment but too crowded
I like the coffee varieties. It is a friendly place and crowded all the time.
I had a delicious iced mocha. Service was nice. Seating was hard to find. Apparently they are popular! Thank you!
Old mansion atmosphere with a handy coffee and food service. Polite and professional staff. I'll be back. Parking is tight but worth the walk if you have to park in the garage a block away.
so cute very busy as always but great atmosphere
Bordertown always provides a great ambiance for studying and serves incredible coffee and treats. Being close to campus, the cafe can fill up during the day and be a bit loud, so i suggest you bring headphones if you want to do serious study.
Best coffee shop anywhere near UMN campus. Vibes insane, productivity through the roof.
Housed in one of the few remaining historic buildings in Dinkytown, the superb vibe of this coffeehouse is surpassed only by the quality of its coffee and baked goods. The attention to cleanliness, the friendliness of the staff, the accessible location, and the cozy, yet spacious interior make this location a must-visit on the east bank. I wish they had more food offerings. But that is just a small critique of what is overall a terrific establishment.
Who knew? Great place to meet and relax a piece.
A great find for gluten-free nibbles and espresso.
Nice and cozy ambience. I really liked their chai spice muffin.
It’s a cute small coffee shop. Definitely great if you want to study or have some quiet-ish work time. Staff was friendly.
A lovely hidden gem right next to the U of M campus. It's beautiful, the people are wonderful, and the coffee is great!
Wonderful vibe. Not an efficiency stop but def the best in Dinkytown.
Perfect ambiance for studying, reading. Super delicious coffee and bakery!
Def a college coffee spot (I’m not a student). Parking sucks (as expected). I loved the environment, seating, the staff (really friendly), and my coffee was good. Wish they were open on weekends. I would def recommend a visit if you are ever in the area. Great place to prep for any on-campus meetings.
Super cute, wonderful staff, and great drinks/food!
Superb coffee! Muffins have a very tasty/'homemade' flavor. Great delivery experience!
