I love the feel and vibe of this coffeehouse! From the friendly staff, the art on the walls, or the stage for music artists, it all creates a unique feeling. Throw in a great cup of coffee and a food menu with plenty of options this coffeeshop has everything. With a complete coffee menu....everything from lattes, a cafe miel, espresso, or cold press, they can fill your cup. I love a caramel latte and they make a very good latte. They have a good food selection, from breakfast to lunch, baked goods to soup, burritos to salads, there is plenty of good options to fill your belly or just a snack. Parking might be a tiny issue. Mainly street parking but I have always been lucky and found a spot on Snelling in front of the shop.

This was close to the state fair since we were early to the fair as the result of a storm. It's a "been neighborhood forever" type place where the booth vinyl has been cracked in ten thousand or so places. The service was friendly. There were multitudes of food options and there were employees coming up from the basement with handfuls of carrots, so things are made fresh. Stacksvofvchairs were being taken out th we back door leading me to believe there is outside seating.,Plenty of free street parking. Give it a shot!

a favorite haunt of our uncles who live a few blocks away. We were very pleased with the selection, quality of our drinks and the friendly and attentive baristas. They handled a large line with grace and did not rush our more indecisive members. Complicated orders were no sweat and the charming atmosphere meant we spent a lot of time there. I'd love to see someone play that piano sometime, so we'll have to come back.

Very down to earth coffee shop. Nice staff and decent coffee! They have a front and back door - feels like a community spot with people coming in and out. Nothing fancy and prices reflect that. Overall, a nice stop!

I've been here several times and love the friendly neighborhood vibes! Very friendly staff and great food (wraps, deli sandwiches, soup, salad and grillers)! Coffee offerings extensive and hit the mark. Glazed donut yummy, along with many baked goods and lasagna for lunch!

I was here once about 8 years ago with no recollection so I'm happy to report back! The inside was nice; we went on a Thursday around noon, and it was not too busy.The menu is a lot bigger than I anticipated--so many sandwich options! The soup is a little strange to find, it's on a white board off to the side by the pastries (which looked so-so but maybe it's because it was noon). I ended up with the soup after all. Chicken chili verde with a side of their wild rice bread. The bread was great, I was pleasantly surprised! The soup was good, could have used more seasoning. Their dark roast was actually decent, I like mine pretty bold. I would say the food is 3 stars, but the service we received was worth adding another star! Their registers went down and the entire staff handled it very well, taking down people's orders and circling back to us once it was up and running. I am slightly hesitant to try the other food options but in spirit they sound good, and I will be back for more coffee!

This is our neighborhood coffee shop and we adore it - we're in there several times a week, sometimes to grab a coffee to go, sometimes to linger. Yeah, it's a wee bit shabby in the corners and the plants need a little TLC, but the coffee is great and there's a wide variety of food options. It's miles more appealing than the hipster coffee shops that all look the same and have no personality. The service is usually pretty quick at Ginkgo, all the staff are nice without being over the top, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Diverse clientele adds to the ambiance and charm; expect university students, long-time neighborhood residents, musicians, families, local political figures, etc. The one thing I don't like is the fact that the only large cups they have are disposable single-use ones. I'd prefer a solid cup/mug/glass that isn't going to end up in a landfill.

So thankful a few real coffee houses exist. Love the vibe with all the mismatched thrift and no frills. Takes me back to the 90s. And it obviously affects costs because prices were super reasonable for both food and coffee ( unlike some other nearby hygge/pretentious shops). Staff was nice but had trouble with a larger order.
