I have such an affinity for Minneapolis' café scene, probably cuz I spent a crazy amount of time working / studying from them in my college days. I absolutely loved hanging out at these spots in all 4 seasons and I can't wait to visit again!

• Cafe Astoria in Minnesota, United States

  Their smoothie bowls rival the ones in Bali

  Listen up, Nina's is quite possibly my FAVORITE café — and yes, she's in St. Paul, but I think it still counts. This place is the coziest and I absolutely love the surrounding neighborhood

• Five Watt Coffee, E Hennepin in Minnesota, United States

  I don't drink caffeinated beverages anymore, but the Kingfield latte... Holy sh*t

• Penny's Coffee in Minnesota, United States

  I want my eventual home to look like this some day, don't even care about the coffee tbh, but these ceilings!!!

• Alma in Minnesota, United States

  This one's a bit fancy, but you can chill at the bar and get some stuff done when it's not busy. The snacks are simple yet amazing

• Birchwood Cafe in Minnesota, United States

  This is my dad's favorite place in the TC, so we'd go every time he visited while I lived in Minneapolis. The homemade sodas & lemonades are outta this world and their menu changes with the seasons

• Hard Times Cafe in Minnesota, United States

  Vegan everything and the most hippy-ish interior ever!

• Caffetto Coffee House in Minnesota, United States

  This place is kinda gritty and that's what makes it awesome. It's also open till like 3 am

• Bob's Java Hut in Minnesota, United States

  There's nothing like open-air springtime Bob's, with the hum of Lyndale Ave right out front
