Nina's Coffee Cafe

Visited Nina’s Coffee Cafe in a charming neighborhood of Cathedral Hall in St. Paul and it was a delightful experience! Ordered a latte with soy milk and a Nutella croissant—both were absolutely delicious. The service was impressively fast, even though finding seating was a bit of a challenge. Luckily, we snagged a table for three on a Tuesday morning. The cafe's decorations are stunning, adding to the cozy atmosphere. Also spotted some convenient parking options: free 2-hour street parking right outside and free all-day parking on Virginia Street by the church. Highly recommend stopping by for a coffee break!

Such a cute and cozy space! Nina's has a ton of room to grab a table and get work done. Their drink menu has both classic items and several specialty drinks. I got "The Neighborhood" iced which is caramel, cinnamon syrup and oat milk. It is so delicious and sweet! Sometimes changing to alternative milks changes the flavor, but this drink automatically comes with oat milk which I love because you can tell it compliments the syrups and espresso so well. They had yummy looking pastries I didn't try but it gives more motivation to come back. I also love the single table up the stairs that overlooks the rest of the cafe. I'm sure it's a popular spot but I'd hope to sit there one day!

Also they validate parking!!

I checked this place out and I HIGHLY advise getting the dark chocolate croissant as it’s literally the best pastry in Minnesota. I was absolutely AMAZED how great it was. It’s also chocolate infused, baked into the bread and drizzled with chocolate. The coffee was good and I’m very happy I tried this place. Please take the time to travel to try this place. You’ll become addicted. The staff were very friendly and very fast service. Bravo guys. Bravo !

The brown butter doughnut was absolutely incredible!!! I've never had such a delicious doughnut.

Also the vibe of the shop is supreme. It's such a fancy little place and I will definitely be back!!!

Great place to break away from the franchised coffee shop. This beautiful location is only made better by the incredibly kind service and awesome drinks (try the Neighborhood). Great wifi and easy, free street parking.

Loved the savory croissant! Good dark coffee. Pleasant atmosphere with that low hum of coffee shop talk going on. Comfortable. Obviously a favorite of many on Saturday morning! A line to order, but it moves quickly.

We own a coffee shop in Fargo and these gals were top notch for it being our first time here!
We were shocked by how fast and how delicious the coffee and chocolate croissants are!
We left our dog in the car since we didn't know, but they are dog friendly!!

Thank you so much for the wonderful coffee and experience! Definitely our go to stop next time we come through the cities! 💕

Absolutely beautiful cafe. The cafe is situated in a historical building and the cafe makes use of that fantastically. The vibe is immaculate for socializing or studying.

I will say that the coffee is quite overpriced for what you get but the atmosphere makes up for it fully. The service is fast and efficient.

There are options of couches, soft seats, and standard tables. Honestly the best cafe option in St Paul overrall. Highly recommend!

The place was cool. It was very crowed on a Sunday morning. I found a place where i could sit and enjoy my breakfast. I really love it there.

I wish everything up on the hill were as perfect as Nina's. On a weekday morning this place is packed with people from all walks of life. A lot of students park here and take up tables just with them and their laptops which is my only gripe. Prices are reasonable. Be prepared to wait a bit for drinks because it is very popular.

Hard to beat the energy at this intimate coffee cafe in the heart of St. Paul. Great atmosphere with cozy nooks and excellent coffee, pastries, scones, and service. The longtime owner's goal was to have a place that brought people together. Mission accomplished. Thank you. Until next time!

A couple of people recommended this spot and I wasn't disappointed. Beautiful, unique place with a wide variety of food and drinks.
Their pastries are lovely and so is the coffee.
They also have live music some evenings.

I will definitely come back when I'm in town!

One of my favorite coffee shops in St. Paul. I would describe the vibe as academic, the specialty coffee is unique and high quality, and the service is great!

What a cool spot for coffee and a sweet treat! Cappuccino was outstanding and their apple fritter was fresh and tasty. Add the old charm of the building and it's the perfect spot. Parking was no issue either.

S-tier atmosphere for a coffee shop. Good beverages. Prompt service. Lots of space inside but it gets very busy so it's still a possibility you won't find a seat during peak hours.

If there's anyone in the world I know I can always rely on, it would have to be my queen Nina. This is one of the cutest coffee shops I've been to, and I love coming here to study. Also, holy nuts the lemon loaf is to die for! The employees are sometimes weirdly aloof, but it doesn't bother me because in the back of my mind I know that Nina is somewhere out there looking over me with a beaming smile on her face. Is that weird? Maybe. Do I care? No. #girlssupportgirls #real

This might be my new favorite spot to get coffee in the St. Paul area and there are a lot of good places! The coffee drinks are fantastic, there's lots of seating inside and it's a beautiful historical building. There were plenty of pastries to choose from as well. I'll definitely return when I'm in the area again.

Great coffee shop in St. Paul! First time here, super friendly and quick service, and the honey latte I had was delicious! Cool, cozy atmosphere too. Will definitely be back!

I LOVE this coffee shop! It’s one of my favorites in St. Paul. I feel like I’m in a cafe in Paris when I step in here. The staff was friendly and the coffee was really good. Will be coming back.

The atmosphere is absolutely amazing. Calm and fresh with elegant flare. Lots of seating. Oh, and Statue of Liberty is here. CoOL. Food and drinks are delicious. Will come again and again and ........
