Matchbox Coffee Shop

I've waited to review Matchbox Coffee because I wanted to make sure that it wasn't a fluke that this was my all-time favorite place. On this visit, it'd likely been my 4th or 5th time here for coffee. And, the trip is a little hike from the northernmost suburbs. But, absolutely worth every mile and dollar!Every time I visit Matchbox Coffee, I never order from the menu. I've asked every time for the employees to pick something special and make it up. I've had something vanilla, something lavender, and something hazelnut. I've never enjoyed my cup of coffee more! And the employees love putting their touch on it which I love. This quaint little coffee shop is employee owned and run so well! There's some regulars that sit inside and chat, but it's never too loud and never too crowded at any one particular point I've been there. I'd recommend this to anyone that wants to find a great small coffee shop, a great cup of coffee, and a local business to contribute to. I'll make the trek to be back again, and again.

COFFEE: I had a caramel latte (classic), and my partner had a cold brew latte (how cool)! We both agreed the quality of coffee was good, but I would love to see some more flavors on the menu!SERVICE: I absolutely loved how everyone that came into the coffee shop new the barista, as you could tell it was a 'homey' and friendly place to be!!AMBIANCE: If you are looking for a sit down coffee shop, I would say that this is more of a to go vibe, as it is extremely small on the inside. But it is also a cute nook if you are looking to cozy up with a good book. LOCATION/PARKING: Great location next to other shops and restaurants in northeast, and parking was easy to find!

LOL at me thinking this was a cute new spot - the barista told me they've been around for years, and I'm sad I've been missing out on this gem! Cute little NE cafe next to some other awesome dining/drinking spots - makes for a great post-yoga, meal, or local shopping treat :)Ambiance is 10/10 - I love the string lights and cozy (tiny!) nook they have decorated eclectically. I took my cup to go, but it would be so fun to belly up to the coffee bar or sit at the (one) table and just watch folks stop in. Great coffee and other beverage selection! They were out of the seasonal Golden Milk, so I opted for a chai instead. I believe they make the chai in-house? They had some pastries and other little treats as well. 5-6pm happy hour of half-price espresso shots - I wouldn't sleep a wink but love the idea!You've just got to poke your head into this little matchbox of a coffee shop and grab one of their delicious drinks. If I lived in the neighborhood, this would for sure be my spot!

Got a toffeenut cold pressed latte and it was excellent! Fast service and delicious coffee so I will definitely be back. The price is very reasonable for Minneapolis as well. Street parking but I was easily able to find a spot. Only wish they opened earlier but that's okay.

Tiny tiny walk through place not wheelchair accessible at all. One tiny bathroom. Barista is super friendly. They make their chai in house from scratch. The day old coffee cake was delicious!

Finally made it to Matchbox. Cute little coffee shop in NE. There is one table you could sit at otherwise it mostly seems like a pick up and go sip it somewhere else type of place. There were some baked goods for sale as well. Lots of good drink options. I tried the "best cold press in town" and it was very smooth and did not disappoint. Excited to go back and try the homemade chai. They DO accept credit cards now. Give them a try!

Tucked into a building just off the street, this popular neighborhood coffee shop is good for to-go coffee, but don't expect to find a table to sit at as seating is tight and very limited. Ambivalent barista and average baked goods add to the charm. They take credit cards, but have a $5 minimum.

Cozy and intimate space. Good coffee and music.Friendly staff all around.A coffee shop I want to be in.Would love to read a book in here one day.

First time customer, usually get Starbucks, but was at a friend's apartment near by. Was tasked to get 4 iced coffees for 3 hangover girls and myself. Was originally supposed to 3 macchiatos but they didn't do those iced so she hooked us up with some of the most flavorful iced lattes I've ever had. Would absolutely recommend but please tip if doing large orders!

I'm on a matcha tea latte kick and the one they made me was very tasty. The barista took care to make to my a bit too particular specifications. Be advised that it isn't named Matchbox for nothing and is cozy bordering on tiny.
