Caffetto is the quintessential Minneapolis coffee shop--they've got tasty, reasonably priced drinks (including a robust selection of teas both hot and iced), good hours, and a real fun punk cafe vibe (lots of fun graffiti and vintage pinball machines).I think Caffetto kind of corners a market that no one else has by being open so late--most coffee shops are barely open past noon, and they're open until midnight! I've personally spent many a late night there finishing up work--it's a really cozy atmosphere, and the selection of pinball machines in the basement are the perfect study break activity.The staff are all great and even when there's a line, they get through it quick and are still able to offer great recommendations--while I usually prefer an iced green tea with no ice, I've tried the lattes, cold press, Thai coffee, and hot chocolate and have genuinely never had a bad drink here.The only thing is to make sure you watch your step if you're walking in the basement--even though it has seating and pinball and the bathroom, it's more of an unfinished space with uneven flooring and I personally rolled my ankle and fell there last year haha.

I jetted from work early to try this coffee shop because I needed a change of scenery and... well... it's Tuesday. :)I was surprised to find that the cafe was packed at 2:30 in the afternoon, but got lucky enough to snag an intimate table in the corner, perfect for reading a book in peace!I had a triple decaf almond milk latte that tasted like it was caffeinated to me but didn't give me the buzz I'm so addicted to, that's when you know it's a good decaf. I love the coziness and the unique artwork in Caffetto. I look forward to coming back at an earlier hour to feed my addiction. But it's great to know I have a go to coffee shop for those afternoon cravings where the decaf tastes just as delightful!UPDATE- 2 hours later: there's additional seating and a pinball machine room in the basement, glad I went downstairs to the bathroom.

This is a great local coffee shop with plenty of space to work or relax while having a great cupper. We got some iced teas, as we'd just had a meal nearby and were killing time before heading over to a performance at the Children's Theatre.They have a wide variety of coffees and teas to drink, so don't get in line until you know what you want. No, they aren't rude or anything, it's nice to not keep others waiting while you decide.Service was friendly and quick and the prices are quite reasonable. The names of some of their drinks are interesting. I'll have to try a few of them when next I visit.

This is such a lovely little coffee shop. There's outdoor seating, some jenky chairs, and on an off street to a very busy street! Thus lots of interesting things can be observed happening outside of this spot. Inside is cozy upstairs either tons of unique decorations. Their coffee menu is wide and a wide array of tea as well. I didn't eat but they had cheese cake options and tons of other snacky treats or baked goods. The downstairs is where the fun is! There are pinball machines and the walls are covered in graffiti / drawings / art. This was extremely fun. There is cozy seating as well, couches, chairs and plenty of tables to put your stuff on, study or do art. The noise down stairs at 2 pm on Saturday was surprisingly quiet. I imagine different times the ambiance would be different. I'd definitely recommend checking this spot out!! I will for sure be returning!

This place is NEVER open when it's supposed to be in the mornings!! Whoever is on the opening shift needs to be fired!! Super UNPROFESSIONAL!! It says they open at 7am here it is 7:20 AM and someone is just getting in. I knocked on the window because the front door was still locked and the extremely RUDE guy who was late gets rude with me (not surprising because he typically is always rude which leads me to wonder if he has an issue with African Americans). Needless to say I won't be coming here again!!

Fun, lively atmosphere! A great place to chat, study, or play pin ball in the lower level. The drinks are pretty reasonable too. The service can be a hit or miss. Hopefully the staff is being treated okay. They seem stressed out most of the time.

This is my local café; it's dark, dusty and sticky but I dig it. The furniture is torn to shreds and nothing matches, they play good music, the baristas don't care if you live or die, the bathroom looks like a setting for satanic ritual abuse; it's punk. My main gripe is that the coffee tastes weird as fuck, it's really fruity and sour - not my cup of tea (coffee).

I got a hibiscus tea to do some coding for work late on a Sunday night after googling what places are good for 'studying' and open late. Was really impressed with the ambiance and how reminiscent of a college commons area where everyone was just quietly hanging out in this homey little niche of a coffee place. Wifi was suprisingly good. I don't know anything about coffee or tea, but my tea seemed custom enough to admire. I love that it's open late every day and how parking is easy and it feels very relaxed and 'astute' in there if you will.

The vibe is super artistry, mismatched, and a little run down but still very homey. I love that local artists are featured and you're able to purchase their works too! It's like a gallery & a coffee shop, kinda.I think Melinda was our barista (not sure about their name, sorry) and they were so fantastic! The drinks were good. They were patient while we took a while to decide what we wanted and were nice at letting us order drinks to-go as we left right as close. (Note: we asked if we could still order, with the expectation we would be told "no". Please always ask and don't assume! Maybe they've already cleaned all the machines for the night).I ordered an iced chai with caramel and soy. It was a bit sweet, probably because of the caramel, but that's exactly what I wanted in the moment. It was also very cinnamony. It was less of a refreshing chai and a bit more thick. This isn't bad but it's always good to know what to expect and not be disappointed!Super cool note - they have so many syrup options! LIKE SO MANY! So go crazy making a custom drink.
