Bordertown Coffee

Bordertown Coffee in Minneapolis is a haven for coffee connoisseurs. The extensive menu boasts classic coffee choices, along with an array of tempting teas and tea lattes. My latte experience was nothing short of exceptional—the milk was perfectly prepared, consistently creamy, and adorned with the perfect amount of foam.

What sets Bordertown apart is its unique location inside an old house. The ambiance is a delightful blend of history and modern comfort, with inviting tables, plush couches, and tucked-away study nooks. The attention to detail in decor creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere that enhances the overall enjoyment of your visit. Bordertown Coffee is not just a coffee shop; it's a destination where every sip and surroundings contribute to a memorable experience. Highly recommended for those seeking both quality beverages and a charming environment.

Bordertown is by far one of my favorite places near the U of M campus. You really have to look for it since it’s in the middle of the block. Love the charm of the building, makes for a great study or work spot if you can find a seat. Drinks are good, tried a seasonal beverage and it did not disappoint. They definitely put care into your order.

gets crowded at times, but I don't mind. I wish the upstairs would be converted to more seating. The iced miel is very good. the staff are friendly and I'm absolutely in love with the window area w/ the plants

edit: please expand hours into the evening and weekends!!!

My favorite coffee shop on the UMN campus! I usually get a flavored latte here and it is always a good balance w/ the coffee and flavor. Their pastries are also very good (I really like the rosemary+ chocolate chip muffin). Seems like a great place to study or meet up to work on a group project, although I usually just get my coffee to-go first thing in the morning so I'm not sure how busy it gets later in the day. Cool old building and seems like a great space!

What an amazing hidden gem. The atmosphere and the vibe are so well suited for studies aor chilling out. The coffee was far from great but it's the US after all.

I am a big fan of Bordertown! Here you find a warm and cozy atmosphere with the quiet activity of a library, well-crafted drinks, and excellent service.

Charming little café adorned with cozy armchairs and inviting window nooks. The ambiance is truly delightful, featuring a delicate interplay of warm lighting and verdant flora, making it the perfect setting for savoring a cup of coffee and indulging in delectable pastries. Plus, the added convenience of complimentary Wi-Fi adds an extra layer of appeal to this serene haven.

Great coffee shop! Very classic feeling vibe

The barista here is one of the best. Perfect pulls, beautiful latte artwork. A gem among baristas.
The almond blueberry Muffin was also fire!

Absolute coziness!! Cappuccino and banana bread very good. The lady at the counter, smiling and cute! 👍🏻

Mmmmmm....yah-what everyone already said about this place. My problems were which hot bevie I wanted & to enjoy it inside or outside. The only problem was a full bicycle stand (which is REALLY a great problem to have - sigh*)

Discovering this quaint little cafe was like discovering a secret wonderland. Cozy setting with great service. Loved their hot ghiraldelli chocolate.

This coffeeshop is present in a older building that looks somewhat like an old fraternity housing, with actual greek life houses near by, on the edge of University of Minnesota. Not very large inside, or as neatly kept as spyhouse, but it has it own unique character inside. Yoyng professionals, professors, and students make up the customers.

Nice and cozy ambience. I really liked their chai spice muffin.

Housed in one of the few remaining historic buildings in Dinkytown, the superb vibe of this coffeehouse is surpassed only by the quality of its coffee and baked goods. The attention to cleanliness, the friendliness of the staff, the accessible location, and the cozy, yet spacious interior make this location a must-visit on the east bank.

I wish they had more food offerings. But that is just a small critique of what is overall a terrific establishment.

Def a college coffee spot (I’m not a student). Parking sucks (as expected). I loved the environment, seating, the staff (really friendly), and my coffee was good.

Wish they were open on weekends. I would def recommend a visit if you are ever in the area.

Great place to prep for any on-campus meetings.

Great tasting coffee in a really neat environment. Feels like you're in an old house. Very warm and cozy aesthetic. Friendly staff and reasonable prices.

Parking in that area of town is not the easiest to come by, but being on a college campus I don't think most people there drive a whole lot while on campus anyways.

Eye of the Tiger. Get it.

Good drinks and treats in such a cool building! I love how they’ve kept the charm of the house. It is so cozy inside. Try their matcha with lavender- delicious! The rosemary chocolate muffin is great too.
