Simply the best - best coffee, best snacks, best staff, and best atmosphere!
One of the best coffee houses in town! Rotating local roasteries and changing their speciality drinks regularly. Great tea options and a small amount of food items. Exposed brick and subway tile with a fun menu board in a wide open space. Music always stellar and baristas are superb. I have come here to study and also for meeting my best friends. Love this spot!
Workhorse Coffee is an awesome, independently owned cafe. The owner is fantastic. The coffee (and chai lattes) is delicious. They have a variety of baked goods and breakfast foods fresh daily. But most of all, the staff genuinely wants to get to know you, and to point out fun things to try. During the pandemic, they've made safety a priority and I feel safe entering their store. Highly recommend!
Update May 2022: This has become a go-to place for me. The atmosphere is chill and the food is always delicious.
Good coffee, delicious pastries, and a chill-but-friendly atmosphere. I wish I lived closer; I only stop by about once a month when I have to go into my office. Every time I go there the staff is so genuinely friendly and welcoming, and it legitimately makes my morning so much better.
Super staff. Great community. Beautiful space. I got a lil batch brew and clacked away at laptop.
My favorite coffee shop. Wonderful people, nice atmosphere, and brilliant coffee. I moved to Seattle and still haven't found coffee better than Workhorse.
Great spot to meet friends or work for a while. Delicious coffee and treats (gf and vegan options too). Super friendly staff and patrons.
Staff were friendly and the space was so calming! Loved their vanilla espresso milkshake and pumpkin muffins.
I love workhorse! I wish every coffee shop had their pumpkin muffins, but they don’t so I guess I will always get to go to workhorse!
Workhorse is a great place for a yummy drink. Very considerate and kind staff. The spinach feta croissant is very yummy, and the maple yogurt granola is off the charts. Great music selection, and it's played at a nice level so if you need to get work done, or have a conversation you can. There's a great place for kids to hang out as well. Oh and be sure to check out the exhibit at The Smallest Museum in St. Paul located just outside the door!
