Claddagh Coffee

I can't tell you how excited I was to discover an Irish coffee shop in St. Paul. There are so many great local places in the Twin Cities, you can't begin to visit them all, but this was a must, as I'm obsessed with all things Irish. I ordered the blueberry scone with clotted cream and a 16-oz "Claddagh" latte. The foam...Starbucks can't even touch it. It's the small touches that make local coffee shops so much better. The atmosphere here is very warm and cozy, and there is additional seating downstairs.

I haven't explored St. Paul's coffee scene much yet, but this place totally got me excited to check out more. My latte and banana bread were both fantastic, but the vibe was the best part. It was packed with locals on a Friday morning, which is always a good sign. Met up with an old friend there and it was the perfect spot to catch up. I am adding this place to my go-to cafe list. Highly recommended.

Great coffee and atmosphere. Also, a cozy basement! I can recommend the Claddagh latte and the Dublin crumb cake. The friendly barista confirmed my pronunciation of 'clah-dah' was correct... Or at least not totally incorrect!

I have been on a quest to find a coffee shop in the twin cities where I can curl up in a comfy seat with a book. Claddagh has TWO couches! They have a downstairs area that is cozy and quiet, the perfect little spot in the cold months. They have an extensive offering of specialty lattes, I have tried 3 and loved each of them! I recommend the Hot Molly, O Danny Boy, and Sister Mary, each with oat milk. They blend the flavors so well with the espresso; it doesn't taste like syrup in a cup of milk like some coffee shops. I love this spot so much!

One of my favorite St Paul coffee spots, specifically for the ambiance and feel inside. The coffee seems great but the experience both on the main floor and downstairs is very comfy and welcoming. Parking can be a bit tough since W 7th street is busy and there are other shops close by (Day by Day for example, which is an excellent brunch spot!!) which create traffic. But even if you have to walk a block or so its absolutely worth coming to

Love this spot! Probably my favorite coffee shop in the Twin Cities. The sister Mary latte with orange and chocolate is INCREDIBLE! I’ve been meaning to explore the downstairs soft furniture but the vibe upstairs is so welcoming I don’t feel like leaving. Highly recommend visiting Claddagh coffee :)

Good coffee at the Claddagh. Food is ok, and the breakfast sandwich with a side salad is tasty. But I come for the coffee
which is good, and get a cappuccino most visits. Cozy interior with main floor + basement give it a good amount of space. Usually not too loud inside. Street parking not an issue. Sometimes you have to park around the block. There is also a smaller Claddagh up on Selby that only serves coffee to go, and it is good too.

Stopped in for coffee mid-bike ride and got one of their seasonal specials (iced coffee + lemonade + mint?! Refreshing and delicious). Place was packed, took a while but happy to wait in such a cute space.

This Irish themed coffee shop is located in Saint Paul's West End/W 7th neighborhood. My coffee was perfect. Smoothest coffee I have ever had. The breakfast sandwich was very good made with a Kaiser Roll baked fresh on site. It was the perfect start to my day.

One of the best coffee shops not just in the cities, but that I've been to period. I've been to A LOT and I'm pretty picky (snobby, whatever you call it) about coffees shops. The biggest sell for me is the homemade chai, especially with oat milk. Just hands down the best. I've gotten it a dozen times, hot and iced, and always perfect. Not like the sweet mixes. They also have excellent small breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Plus some GF items from Sift which is a great little local GF bakery. The space is warm and welcoming. Staff is always fantastic.

I just discovered that they have a downstairs seating area that is cute as all get out.

Plan ahead notes: parking is mostly street parking, though there are a couple spots around back. Bathrooms are downstairs behind the stairs.

Review: an absolute delight of a coffee shop! If you like coffee, breakfast, or Ireland, you will be very happy to find yourself in Claddagh Coffee. I ordered a classic “Claddagh” (espresso, Irish cream, and dark chocolate) and it was absolutely delicious. My friend got the seasonal chaider (chai tea and apple cider), which smelled amazing and was thick with cinnamon 🥰 There is so much to enjoy in Claddagh, from the chalkboard art to the friendly baristas to the little leprechaun catching coins under the floor.

Upstairs is sunny, busy, and classic, downstairs is cozy and ready for a game with friends.

Hard to beat the relaxed atmosphere at Claddagh Coffee in the heart of St. Paul. Great brick-walled coffeehouse with friendly staff, excellent coffee, panini, and homemade scones and pastries. Thank you. Until next time!

Love Claddagh!

This is my favorite coffee spot! I love this location, it feels so cozy especially when the weather is not so great. Do yourself a favor and check out the basement! Awesome selection on craft caffeine and great food! Awesome staff with great decor :)

Love the vibe and the lattes (made with 1% milk). No sweeteners or syrups necessary.

Been to 5-6 different coffee shops all over Minneapolis - St Paul and this one has the best latte for my tastes.

Stopped in for some coffee and boy was it good. I had Gladdagh with Irish cream and dark chocolate. She had the Hot Molly with cayenne, cinnamon and honey. Oh and slice of banana bread

A favorite cafe in St. Paul for coffee and bakery items. Their crumb cake is the absolute best. Love coming here on a week day when it's not as crowded as the busy weekends. Great selection of coffee drinks!

Delicious spot for coffee. The lattes are flavorful without being too sweet, and the cold press is delightfully nutty in flavor.

One of my favorite places to stop with a book and enjoy a drink. Amazing atmosphere and friendly staff. All the lattes are fabulous and delicious. Yummy breakfast, efficient takeout, and comfy seating downstairs.

We stopped in to kill some time while waiting for an appointment but wow…I loved it! The vibes were incredible, and the coffee was so good! I normally go for a latte but today i went for the flat white and it was roasty and not bitter at all. Definitely would get again!

I came here with my brother one morning for coffee after he got out of the military, and both of us agreed that Claddagh Coffee was the best place to grab a coffee and spend time with friends and family. The coffee was absolutely amazing, and the staff were so kind and inviting. I would definitely come back here again!
