Loco Espress Coffee House and Boutique is an absolute gem in Brainerd! I met friends here for breakfast, and it did not disappoint. I'm so glad they suggested this spot set inside the charming Northern Pacific Railroad Clock Tower Building. The atmosphere was both cozy and historical, making it the perfect spot for good conversation and delicious food.I started with a latte that was divine - smooth, rich, and beautifully crafted. The food menu was just as impressive, with options that appeared to be flavorful and thoughtfully made. One of my favorite parts (aside from the great conversation with friends) was exploring the boutique area, which added such a unique touch to the café. They have an incredible selection of teas, too! Honestly, I've never seen so many in one place!If you're in Brainerd, this place is a must-visit for great coffee, unique finds, and beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend!

I do not recommend visiting this location if you are in a hurry, but if you have 20 minutes to wait for a good local coffee and even a slice of delicious cheesecake, you will be in luck. There are expensive knick-knacks to toil through while you wait for your order and usually a large group of people coming in and out at all times, even despite the short business hours. This location is unique because you can order a tea and take some home in bulk.

Already can't wait to come enjoy again when I'm back in the area! I felt like I read somewhere that the workers were very friendly and I experienced that today as they made my kiddos feel important with high fives and asked them questions even amidst a busy atmosphere! This place is CUTE! The outside is just a preview to what awaits you inside. Lots of seating, was very impressed with how many options. They sell merchandise to peruse as well. I ordered 2 strawberry banana smoothies, a blueberry flavored lemonade, and a hot vanilla latte. All drinks were made in a quick amount of time and had rave reviews all around of how great they tasted. I really can't wait to come back and support this great coffee shop! What a cool area, too!

Woweeee!! I graduated from Brainerd well over a decade ago and came back this weekend for the first time. Was thrilled to see the development at the train depot. Stopped by this coffee house and was SO impressed. The cocoa mint drink and the bananas foster were amazing. So delicious!!!

This shop is off the beaten path, but worth every step and traffic light to get here. It's extremely unique to the area and has a delightful Chip and Joanna style, housed in MN. The commitment to the train theme is delightful! The coffee was the best I had in the area and extremely well made (and I drink a lot of coffee)! If you like 1. cool architecture 2. Amazing coffee 3. Commitment to a theme 3. Friendly staff 4. Wonderful items to shop while you wait...then STOP HERE NOW! Make sure to explore the new shops popping up in the area, it's a delightful area!

Cute location & ambiance. The coffee & teas are delicious! We ordered coffee for several family members and everyone loved their drinks. I also had a scone which was good as well. When ordering I noticed they have a small menu for breakfast which I'd love to try the next time we're in town. Avocado Toast?! Yes please!

I enjoy going to Loco Espress for the zingers! My favorite flavor is the cherry coconut that was suggested by one of their awesome baristas!
