Great and friendly staff. Great coffee
This is a really nice coffee shop. There are several large tables and a side room with smaller tables. When I was there it seemed that there were a lot of groups of twos and threes. It certainly had a lively vibe so if you’re looking for a quieter place it might not be the best choice, but I really appreciated the atmosphere. The espresso drinks are high quality and well crafted. I enjoyed the white bear mocha.
I've enjoyed coming to Anchor for years. The atmosphere, coffee, and many of the staff members are absolutely fabulous. HOWEVER, there are several employees who insist on providing beverages in to-go cups within 3 hours of close so they don't have to do the dishes. I can understand if it is an hour to closing, but anything beyond that is unnecessarily environmentally harmful and also kills the vibes. :)
Local Cafe that encapsulates the warm and cozy feeling a small town can bring. Decor is eclectic with the charm of vintage treasures that have found a second life giving customers a place to relax or work.
It’s nice to go to a coffee shop where you can linger and your $5 cup buys you an experience and not just a transaction. This place reminds me of the coffee shops in the 90s with unique character and charm. Try anything maple!
Online menu outdated, no cookie selection as listed online, two scones in display case. Staff friendly, atmosphere okay, music a bit loud for good conversation, but we were able to turn it down.
This coffee shop is really cute and wonderful. There's a lot of artwork and trinkets available for sale if you're into that kind of thing. The coffee shop employees were very helpful and kind seating is a bit tight. There is a side room as well with additional tables in the main room has a field large tables. Parking is pretty plentiful either across the front of the building where there is angled parking or along the streets and back or at the big parking lot that is shared with many other businesses. Pricing for the coffee and treats is very competitive and good. The flavor of the coffee was very nice as well.
Fun little shop with a nice atmosphere, and the coffee was quite good! Would definitely recommend checking it out
So thankful for this little gem in WBL. Adorable character, yummy coffee and sweet community.
Good coffe and delicious pastries and service was kind
Great local coffee shop I highly recommend!
Friendly staff and good coffee. It is a relaxing environment.
Try white bear latte. Iced was amazing, and sure hot would be too. How cool can white bear lake get, love this coffee shop and will stop more often.
Cute, good coffee but I thought it was expensive . It was $3.22 for a standard 16 oz coffee, plus tip.
Great atmosphere and location, tasty coffee, nice employees. It’s fun to have a local coffee shop that isn’t a chain!
Very cute coffee shop with excellent coffee.
The Anchor hosted an after hours event that was very well attended. There were a few performers (singing, poetry, guitar, keyboard) as well as a few speakers who shared deeply about their lives. The atmosphere at Anchor is cozy and all about community. It has several tables to enjoy coffee, tea, etc., and a variety of food items. The historic building has high ceilings and wood floors with parking right out front. The establishment is also within walking distance of many shops, the library, banking, and the walking path along the lake. Great place for a treat or bite to eat.
Please update your hours. Anyone planning on driving out of your way might want to call to make sure they’re open or you’ll arrive to disappointment.
This coffee was amazing at the horse expo this last weekend!!! It was an exceptional cup of coffee! Wish there was a location near us!!! Better than our normal go to coffee shops (caribou/ starbucks)!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE
Such a cute fun little coffee shop in downtown White Bear Lake. They have a variety of fun drinks and pastries. The seating is a bit limited because the coffee shop is fairly small, but I loved the variety of eating areas available. I tried the maple latte with cinnamon sprinkled on top. I'm lactose intolerant and they had milk alternatives. Update: I've been back several times because it's a great location, the drinks are good, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the employees are kind. I love the seasonal fun drink ideas they create, which are a bit of fun. There is a Christian background to the coffeeshop, which I absolutely love. I had a pistachio and vanilla latte with oatmilk and it was amazing. I tried three scones over the past two times I've been there and they are almost rubbery (and I LOVE scones!), so I think I'll skip them next time. Sign up for the rewards program!
