SK Coffee

I've started stopping here for coffee and I'm getting increasingly excited to do that with increasing frequency. It's really good coffee. This was recommended by a friend who is very serious about coffee quality, and he stocks up on beans from here because they are literally the best. I just love their hot, sweet brews, plus also the friendly service and vivid vibes. This is in the misleadingly-named Vandalia Tower complex along with Lake Monster Brewing and Gremlin Theater, and it has that industrial, artisan-y warehouse atmosphere that I really enjoy. I've been in on weekday and weekend mornings and there is always a pretty big smattering of customers but service is always quick. Definitely recommend!Park in front of Lake Monster; check my pics to see where to enter.

super good matcha! good vibes & nice staff. ambiance is chill & has fun art surrounding the space

Great matcha. Chill coffee shop atmosphere. To top it off, parking didn't suck! We will definitely be back.

Super interesting coffee can be found here. It does very quite a bit depending on what they're roasting lately, but highly recommend giving their pour overs a try. The decor is minimalist at best, but the staff is great.

Im from out of town, so it was a little hard to spot it. Its inside the buildings near the parking lot. The coffee was great and the staff was nice. I just got a coffee to go, but nice little spot

I have been a coffee fan my entire life. And while I love the occasional frilly latte, my coffee journey is defined by the pursuitof the ultimate black coffee. And at this SK Coffee in Saint Paul,I have arrived. To the point- very interesting bean selection, perfectly roasted- consistently stellar pour overs here. - all baristas are skilled and knowledgeable, follow an efficient process and crank out pour overs fairly quickly - the above three points mean that here you will consistently taste many well balanced brews with very interesting notes. This is precisely what I have been searching for.- the fru fru drinks are good 2- you will need to pay for the quality: 9 or 10 dollar pour over! But as a coffee connoisseur, I will budget for the occasional spectacular brew! - it's a lot of dollars, but at here every dollar is spent on quality- interior is very spacious. This is not a cozy coffee shop, but it does have lots of great seating options and these cool magnet art tables -- see video. I really like the vibe here, but there are a lot of other cool coffee shops if it's vibes you want- their empanadas are delicious too, if you can wait 20-25 minutes!Other coffee shops to consider - Weasley Andrews. Cool spot, cool neighborhood. Pour overs are much less expensive but not as good, and less consistent. But they are above average and like 1/3 the price.- Sovereign grounds. Good drip brewed coffee, very cool vibe. We call it the "play cafe" as they have a room with toys for kids! A gem for sure - Caffetto. Another genre of coffee shop - the late nighter. Enjoy an 11pm brew. Incredibly cool vibes, a basement of pinball machines. Right by a stellar ice cream cone shop

It's a hidden gem in a gorgeous warehouse building! I had no idea the building was renovated because there's no signs on the exit from 94, but there's a big parking lot off the street shared by Lake Monster brewing. Huge windows with lots of light and plants everywhere. It's just in the lobby to the building so it's very open with two big tables and a counter with plug ins to work at. Most spots were filled from 10am-noon. Even with no walls, it's very quiet and peaceful. The wifi signal was strong and great for working there. The miel was incredible and oat milk was no upcharge. They had a limited coffee menu with a spiced latte as the only syrup option that I saw. The barista was super nice. There was a pastry case with a few options that looked amazing. It's very pricey for a coffee but it's a cool shop to try!

Fun coffee shop in a warehouse in St Paul. I wasn't expecting it to be in the lobby of the warehouse so it didn't have the coziest feel but there were plants everywhere and it was calm and there were enough tables and chairs to work at for everyone! And a wall of plug ins and free wifi. The miel (honey latte) was so good and smooth and they didn't charge extra for oat milk. They also had pastry options and sell bags of coffee. It's right across from Lake Monster Brewing company so you can head over there for a drink after! And there was a Thai food truck outside when I was there on a Tuesday evening.

Great coffee. Lots of wide open spaces to accommodate conversation. Parking was no problem.

This place is heavenly! Sam is a wonderful and personable barista who makes your drink at the counter when you order. There is plenty of seating in this decoratively sprawled warehouse space on the first floor of the Vandalia Tower, making it an ideal study environment. There's even a corner outside the counter with lots of plants and greenery, very cute.I ordered the Sweet Galium, a take on the classic vanilla latte. The espresso was rich and the drink was immensely smooth. This is how coffee should be crafted! I'm not surprised this spot is rated one of Minnesota's best; glad I went out of my way to experience this gem.
