Everything was great!
Nice little coffee joint in downtown Northfield.
One of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. Nice college coffee shop vibe situated right near all the local Northfield shops. Highly recommend!
Follow this shop on Instagram and they posted $1dollar donuts today, so my husband and I went over for a Mocha and donut and love it! Girl behind counter very nice and bubbly. Great place to go and hang out, but we couldn't because there were no empty booths. Very busy!!
On the way down to Iowa I decided to stop in Northfield for a coffee, and found myself at Little Joy Coffee... and what a joy that was! For someone who takes little joy (I can't stop myself with this pun) in mornings, this place was a wonderful! If I was a local college student you wouldn't be able to keep me away. The lighting alone in this place was great! Seating: Numerous tables, booths, bar spots. Good selection. Coffee: They had lots of fun flavors. I got the Spring Fling (espresso, lavender infused honey, pink salt, milk), but the Fizzy McGuire (matcha, fresh Cara Cara orange juice, pandan simple syrup, topo chico) and Salted Lavender Coldfoam both sounded really yummy and unique as well. Food: I can only speak to the morning bun, but what a morning bun it was. Delicious! There was some orange zest in it that really set it a part from other morning buns I've tried. Parking: On the street out front. All in all, great first experience at Little Joy Coffee. I can't wait to go back! I saw pictures of poptarts online, so maybe I'll try one of those next time! Parking: On the street out front P.s. I'll post pictures later. Apparently the awesomeness of Little Joy Coffee is too much for the Radisson wifi to handle.
Found this cute little coffee shop while walking down the street. Looked awesome so bc we went in. The staff was friendly and helpful. Had pastry and coffee both were outstanding. The atmosphere was very relaxing and small town vibe. Very clean as well. This is a definite go back to when in Northfield.
This is mostly for college kids but still nice and clean place!
Great coffee and friendly atmosphere. I was surprised how busy it was especially with so many other coffee shops in town but obviously people like it.
Best coffee shop around! Great people and friendly service!
They show evident care in making interesting and delicious coffee drinks, and providing unique coffee alternatives too. Lots of seating (plus standing options if that's your thing,) lots of outlets, and amazing attention to details from baristas. AND the best outdoor coffee spot in Northfield! Super welcoming, clean, bright place for everyone!
never been here but i want to :)
While it has been over a year since my daughter graduated from Carleton College, it's always a thrill to stop in at Little Joy Coffee when visiting cozy Northfield. Love the Scandinavian ambiance, great coffee, bakery treats and friendly staff. Check it out!
Got the ‘spro and go (why isn’t that a thing everywhere?). Espresso was delicious. Reminded me of Italy. Looks like they have very nice equipment. Relaxed environment, but very friendly staff. Definitely stop here.
Great coffee, friendly staff, and nice space outdoors.
Coffee ☕️ is really good and they have great teas too. The staff is fantastic too!
Adorable. They allow dogs! Yipee Skippy
First time in Northfield. So glad I found this place. Wonderful latte with a good atmosphere. Will definitely come back again next time. Also getting the beans from Groundwire to take home!

Delicious and petite
Great third-wave coffee. I love Blue Mondays but the coffee here is so much better. Servings are a bit small on their specialty drinks but they were very good and complemented the coffee well. Cold brew was excellent.
