Friendly, with the perfect amount of sugar in my Earl Grey tea.Thanks, for being so kind.
Kindest staff Ive ever seen at a shop. There are SO many coffees to choose from and the beans are roasted fresh consistently! However, theyre all roasted dark and/or past the second crack (burnt), so wouldnt say the product is to my personal preference.Prices are a steal though ($1.03 for a cup of coffee at a shop?!), $3 for a cappuccino vs $4 at Starbucks or $5 at artisanal locations.All kinds of equipment line the walls, including Chemex brewers and vessels, Toddy cold brew makers, hand grinders, retro grinders, etc. Its honestly impressive when considering that even places like Spyhouse or Dogwood Coffee dont have this amount of stuff.Always feel free to come by. If you enjoy a wide array of dark-roasted coffees and an unorthodox, hole-in-the-wall feel, this place is perfect. The neighborhood is lovely too!
My gf loves tea and we decided to stop by. The place was cute, but the service was awful. The absolute worst customer service Ive ever experienced. The attendant was extremely rude and condescending. We asked about the tea selection and he told us to go to Starbucks instead. I dont care how good their coffee and tea supposedly is, do not go here.
I have searched long and hard for excellent coffee in the twin cities after moving here two years ago. Today I have finally found it. What a wonderful espresso. Pure joy!
I was in search of great tasting decaf, and was able to get help finding one here. Super friendly and a great product. Ill be back.
Awesome speciality coffee (and tea I guess).They really have an amazing selection of coffees and roasts. Take your time and try some out, buy small samples of different coffees, and eventually you will find that one coffee you never knew youve been craving you whole life.
Not third wave coffee! Not craft coffee! Everything here is roasted black as charcoal. To top it off, they didnt know how to make a latte when I came in. Additionally, the staff isnt very personable, helpful or friendly.
By far the best place in the cities to get your fresh coffee & tea. Staff is kind, knowledgeable, and fun to be around! Theres coffee beans you can get here that you cant get anywhere else in the area. Always fresh and can be ground any way you need!! They also have coffee & tea accessories, like pour overs, steepers, filters, etc.
The coffee is great and the customer service is extraordinary!
Best coffee roaster in the Twin Cities. Grew up in on San Francisco/Bay Area coffee, lived in New York City for 20 years, and spent two years drinking espresso in the cafes of Vienna, so you can trust my judgement. Jims Five Star is our daily coffee and we send it as gifts to family on both coasts at the holidays and they love it.
Best coffee and beans anywhere. Very knowledgeable staff. Huge selection.
They have tons of varieties of coffee beans and loose leaf teas, from Ethiopian to Hawaiian, Pu-er to Earl Gray. For beans, theyll grind them on the spot to a fineness of your choosing, or they can bag them up whole and seal them in plastic to preserve freshness.All the employees are very nice and extremely knowledgeable about coffee and tea. They arent snobbish in the slightest, and are happy to answer any and all questions you might have. Youre welcome to smell any of the coffee on the shelf, and man does it smell fantastic. Dark and fragrant, this is probably the best coffee Ive hadIf youre looking to ramp up your coffee game, this is the place to go. Theres nowhere else like it.
AWESOME AS ALWAYS!! JIM CONE, (MASTER ROASTER) AND STAFF ARE AMAZING!! ❤❤
Best place to get coffee and tea in bulk in the cities.
I have been shopping at Coffee and Tea for about 35 years. No matter where I move to all I have to do is pick up the phone and order my beans!!!Jim has been a joy to work with all these past years and I try to stop into the Linden Hills location whenever Im in the Twin Cities to say Hello.Something about the old roaster that he uses and the smell of freshly roasted beans, the burlap bags from around the world that are full of green coffee beans, the familiarity of the shop I first stopped into back in 1983. Cant say enough about the quality of the coffee that comes out of this small shop!!!
Have been here a couple times while out walking around the area. Coffee was reasonably priced and tasted great. Im not a coffee expert at all. I review things like Andy Bernard... “this art is bad”... but I could tell a difference between this and any big name place. This had FLAVOR, something Im not used to with those big name places.Great stuff you guys!
Amazing tea selection! Super friendly staff. You can pick what you want to smell without bugging anyone. Super recommend
My grandpa owns the place my dad brings the etrxa coffee to our house. There is such a big variety of delicious coffees and teas to try. And I’m not just saying that because I’m related but you can smell them roasting the coffee beans from a block away. Would highly recommend.
Cute little hole in the wall. Friend has been going here for years! Their beans smell incredible, and taste great too.
You will never go back to your coffee shop after youve had it from here. Quality of beans, knowledgeable and kind staff, variety of tea and beans & amazing atmosphere, makes this the best Ive ever been. They roast their beans fresh and deliver to almost everywhere. What more would one need?!?They also have the best options in brewing techniques as well. So dont wait any longer...get some!!
Phenomenal coffee, excellent service, neighborhood joint. They brew off world renowned beans, like the Cup of Excellence, to try in the cafe before you buy. Best coffee in the city. Thank you Jim and Jim!
Very best place to get coffee beansThe owner is the best coffee bean roaster in the USA. There were a few times when I could not get his beans, I had to go elsewhere. No one compared.
A hole in the wall, and I absolutely love it. Once you step inside, youre stepping into pre-1980s. They carry some of the best dark roast coffee in the whole Minneapolis. Its dark, burned, oily, and absolutely delicious. If this wont wake you up, I dont know what will.
The coffee in here is amazing. Its high quality and the people who work here are super nice. The one thing I would change is the general messiness of the shop- that sounds a little rude, but if they presented their coffee and tea in a way that was more pleasing to look at and had less clutter, I think a lot more people would be more likely to actually buy a bag of coffee along with their cappuccino.
Im very particular about coffee and I have been a customer at Coffee and Tea Ltd. for 30 years! I send Jims beans 2x a month to my 93 year old father who really appreciates a good cup. Best selection of estate grown beans in the State of MN.
Truly amazing coffee and tea shop. Selection of products from around the world. Great prices and super friendly, knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.
Awesome experience! Tyler was very informative and knowledgeable about coffee in general.
It smells great and they have fancy coffee, and they’ll grind and brew anything you want by the cup. That’s the end of the good. They treat customers like an inconvenience and are put out by having to describe and distinguish the various coffees, AND they don’t have written descriptions anywhere which I take to mean they don’t want your business unless you are a coffee expert . This is not the place to go if you’re learning. I won’t be back - Dunn Bros is close by and a better choice unless you enjoy interacting with jerks.
Amazing cappuccino!
Picked up pre-order and staff was friendly, courteous, and very knowledgeable.
Best coffee in the cities. I have friends who come to visit from out of town who ask me to send them coffee from here. It is that good.
The best coffee shop. My family has been getting coffee beans here for years and always so fresh! Will be a forever customer.
Excellent roasting of the coffee beans makes for excellent coffee! Jim at Coffee &Tea does a great job roasting those beans.
Great place to get quality coffee or tea, Paul has been very helpful everytime we go in
Unique coffee shop offering a wide variety of single origin coffees and original blends.
Awesome, top-quality coffee (roasted onsite) and tea. Quality and selection that I havent seen anywhere else in the cities. Dog friendly too!
Great little shop this was our first visit, can hold a nice conversation about coffee beans. Looking forward to trying our purchases and visiting again.
Great staff and coffee!
The owner Jim has been roasting beans since before Starbucks existed. You cannot get better coffee ANYWHERE! They have so many choices of beans from all over the world.
The best coffee and the best chai latte! Jim and his staff are absolutely top notch. Dog friendly too! #coffee #bestcoffeetwincities
Their coffee and tea are always splendid, and the staff is friendly, prompt and serve your coffee with a smile.
Best tea selection in the Cities. Warm, friendly service with a smile.
Absolutely the best coffee options!
Love this place. They put there heart and soul into this place!
Good variety with a passion for coffee and without the crazy prices - highly recommended!
You can find coffees and teas here that you cant find anywhere else, including the very rare Kopi Luwak for the adventurous coffee fanatic. Enormous selection....you WILL have a great cup of coffee no matter what you select.
Dozens of different fresh roasted coffee bean types and even more teas.
Jim’s dark roast blend is a buzz from heaven.💛💛💛💛💛💛
I visited this place for the first time today and experienced the most condescending, insulting customer service I can remember. Tyler treated my sister like a complete idiot as she tried to explain the beans she was looking for and he countered everything she said with a sarcastic remark. As two working professionals with jobs that involve dealing with people daily, we looked at each other in complete disbelief and asked to speak to a manager. Jim, the owner, had ZERO concern as my sister explained that she had a problem with the (lack of) service we just received. He got extremely defensive, made excuses, and did not take us seriously. We left feeling completely shook up and insulted. I do not care how good your coffee beans may be - I am of the opinion that a business is ONLY as good as it treats its customers. We will never be back and I will tell everyone I know to take their business elsewhere.
Great Coffee and Tea. You cant go wrong when stopping here.
Coffee from all over the world. For people looking to purchase and take home. Also have that weird cat poop coffee.
A true artisan, there are very few people I have ever met with add much passion for his craft.
Jim has been roasting coffee for 45 years. He buys premium beans from all over the world, roasts them himself, and sells them, usually within a week of roasting. You couldnt get fresher beans unless you roasted them yourself.
Best place in minn
Yum.
I like the coffee, but the owner should keep his political views to himself. You alienate half of the population this way.
Super nice and knowledgeable people.
Small shop that offers roasted beans to go or they have a single roast for those looking for a drink on the go.
The best coffee anywhere.I dont drink any other, unless it would beimpolite to refuse or there is nothing else available at the time.
Jim is the best!
Excellent coffee bean shop
So many to try ! Even kopi
Awesome coffee.
