REVIEWS OF Black Sheep Coffee Cafe IN Minnesota

Chris McNallan

I get to this shop every couple of months and usually grab a cup of coffee and a bag of beans. The staff are always fast and super friendly as well as knowledgeable of their products if you have any questions. They roast smaller batches, so be flexible if you are planning to pick up a specific type of beans or roast. There is nice outdoor seating and they also have their own parking lot. Their Ethiopian beans are my favorite.

Dan Stone

Great coffee shop tucked in a quiet neighborhood. Good stop if you like pour overs.

Sheena Moren

Not the best coffee

Julie Peterson

Best breakfast sandwiches ever!

steve stjacque

I've been having amazing coffee here for years, but today had the best caramel roll in the twin cities! Thanks Black Sheep!

Sue Ganzer

Atmosphere was great, with lots of people, good music & great beverages!

Jessica Lauderman

Very nice environment but a little pricey for everyday

Jonathan Painter

There is a sign in the window that says all are welcome.

Response to the owner: My visit was on a Saturday afternoon. Employees (two were there) were nice and coffee was good. However, the atmosphere was uncomfortable as (1) I was being stared at by caucasians due to my ethnicity (but I did my best to ignore it) and (2) it was cold (as in temperature). I tried moving to another table, but it was equally cold. The business hours on Friday and Saturday nights don't make sense, as it closes at 5pm. Again, no issue with employees or the beverages... just atmosphere.

Mauricio Leon

Very good pastries

Kurt Haage

Pleasant spot with great coffee, small batch roaster in back and a staff that really seems passionate about what they do.

Jo Knops

Fantastic yummie s....!! Coffee excellent .....love New small business's...owner was awesome to meet ...right there working and serving coffee! I wish them well....was a good flow of traffic ....should do great!

Beverly Lokensgard

The only coffee here that is premade is the coffee of the day. Otherwise, they grind the beans for each order. It takes a little longer if you order a coffee that isn't the daily one, but no matter which one you order, the coffee will be great. There are food items available for purchase as well. The outdoor seating area is comfortable, so if you arrive and have your pet, you can still enjoy a cup of great coffee.

Steve Gasser

This is the friendliest coffee shop I have ever visited. Small town, family feel. The pastries are great. Try the Carmel oat scone with an Americano. This place attracts a polite crowd that loves to come to the coffee shop. Give them a try and you will not be disappointed. I will be back whenever I am in the area.

Tamar Kranz

I love the atmosphere of the place! You can catch live music and band practice sometimes which I like. The owner roasts his own coffee and it's very good! You can tell he is very knowledgeable about his product.

Daniel Everson

Fast service, with a nice touch of deliciousness. One of the cool things, is that it's acceptable there to hang out with a few friends, or have a more serious meeting. Would recommend

Jeff Hughes

Excellent coffee in cool “to go” cups. Ample places to sit and work. Had a nice variety of drinks.

Peter Middlecamp

We've been here eleven years and we're so happy to serve our community! This year our off grid food truck The Green Bean will launch and our specialty grade compostable single serve pods will launch! Join us for amazing coffee, pastries, and small town friendly service.

Tim Michalski

The best coffee in Minnesota. Oh the scones will be outlawed soon by conservatives because they give WAY too much pleasure. Hurry before this kind of delicious is banned!

Barista Reviews

Absolutely devine pastries. Chocolate croissants are to die for! Welcoming staff, very down to earth atmosphere. Will be visiting again soon

Mary Z. Birdy

Great food and great service

Liz KUNERT

Great service and drink was awsome.

christine risberg

Excellent all around, coffee, food, service! Bluegrass music us awesome! Love it

Max Alberts

Max Alberts here. I love Black Sheep Coffee. Everything is delicious-particularly the egg and bacon sandwich on its homemade biscuit. I've never tried the chocolate croissants--there appears to be a feeding frenzy for them--but the chocolate walnut biscotti is fantastic. The atmosphere is exactly what an old-fashioned coffee shop should be. I love the music on Saturday morning and wish they had an open mic. Once a little girl--maybe four years old--came up to me and, gesturing to a comfy chair, said, "You can sit here. I am now going to dance for you." Which she did, until her embarrassed mother ran up , apologizing like crazy, and dragged her away. It was funniest thing I've ever seen,

Tori Hensley

The pastries are to die for! Especially the scones. And I don’t even like scones usually! That’s how great they are.

Justin Greif

Best coffee in town, tasty pastries, and my wife loves the quiche.

Michael Bahr

Great food and staff high prices

Vida Dam

Love the nice barista and amazing drinks

Josh Ely

Love this place, great coffee and good customer service. Peter is always friendly and talkative, he frequently introduces his customers and starts conversations. More than that, the food and coffee are great! Love the potato leek soup!

Justice J Shilts

Cozy place to read my book and has great staff.

Mike Taggatz

Good coffee and nice space to sit inside or outside. I have been going here for years

Dan Zenner

Great coffee, espresso and baked goods. Upscale without being pretentious. Owner and staff are super friendly and welcoming. Best Americano in the area, they roast their own beans and make a great pour over too. I even buy their beans for brewing at home. I will be a long time Patron of this establishment.

Isabela Redinger-Ramos

I LOVE BLACK SHEEP

Nicolette Spear

Friendly staff and great music playing! Coffee wasn't bad either.

Jenaye Vergin

The people who work there are suoer friendly and cool, and they have really good quality coffee. Plus, the shop is really cute and well taken care of. (They have Bands on Saturdays too!)

Tom Martinson

The quiche lorrain is an excellent choice for a small afternoon meal to tide you over until dinnertime. Although I did not get the strawberry smoothie this visit, getting hot cocoa with caramel added in is not a bad decision.

Christine Notermann

Good coffee. Bakery and breakfast sandwiches are my choice.

Patricia Gustafson

It was ok. I would like to see specialty drinks listed on your menu board. I am a new customer, and had to actually tell your barista that and ask for a suggestion, which I don't like to do. You should have like a list of what each barista would suggest, up on your menu.

Jess Boren

We are treated like family here.

Barbara Hanken

Love having the Black Sheep Coffee Cafe in South St. Paul! Food is delish, great coffee, atmosphere is wonderful. Sometimes we have even enjoyed some entertainment the there. Five stars for sure in my book.

Daniel Kanani

They have solid quiches. They also play live music (if you're into that). Good atmosphere.

Nigel Carleton

There are a lot of specialty shops in the twin cities that could learn a lot from Black Sheep. The folks here care a lot about what they do and they do it well. Fast, high-quality, entirely unpretentious and community-driven. Thanks for the insane Yemen.

Tommy G Richter

Truly delightful coffee shop! I could cozy up here all day if they let me.

Amanda Daigle

Local coffee shop with excellent food and baked goods made on site. Friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Go and try their quiche! Best I've ever had!

Patrick Cretan

One of the rare non-corporate cafes left, bring your kids.

A Cot

Fantastic pastries made in-house (snag a chocolate-filled croissant if you're lucky enough to see one left in the case) and easy-going staff consistently smiley and welcoming. Much appreciate the cozy kid-friendly area at fireplace flanked with loveseats. Yeah!

Rachel Kunjummen

Such a great atmosphere, great staff, great quality food and drinks, and they have toys available for kids!

Catherine Stock

This is the best place for coffee. I love it there and it's far better than Starbucks or caribou. They also have an amazing bakery. I love the coffee blenders they are not sweet at all and taste like your drinking real coffee. I love how they are kid friendly. Is a great place to work and have coffee on your computer.

jp tanner

Came here on the recommendation of some family who come here often. So glad I didn't sleep on the rec. Got some cold press with a shot and it's mad smooth. People here are crazy cool too. Just a great vibe all around. Definitely gonna swing by again next time I'm in St. Paul.

Amy Villegas

The Black Sheep is a cozy gem! They have excellent coffee and service!

James Book

Warm and cozy with comfy chairs and a fireplace. The pumpkin bread is great

Michelle Erickson

Always great staff, food and coffee!

Jorge Esparza Hernandez

On my journey to getting an espresso at as many coffee shops as I can, I stumbled upon Black Sheep Coffee. The employees were friendly, quick, and the coffee was delicious. The atmosphere created was calming and provided relief from my busy day. Will definitely be returning.

Rebecca Bringgold

Clean and nice people. Drinks are hand made with a little flare of art with some

Mary W.

I Love spending a Saturday morning/afternoon here. The atmosphere is so cozy! The coffee is great and the bakery items are fresh and delicious! I can't help but stop for a coffee to go before I head to work during the week. The baristas are very friendly and make great lattes!

Megan Seinn

I'm from Seattle and this is an excellent place, ordered a pesto panini and a pour over --Fantastic

Joe Mayo

One of the top espresso's in the Twin Cities. On par with excellent coffee shops in Chicago. Pastries and breakfast items are also exceptional. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Sam Ruedinger

They made me feel guilty for asking for a pourover when they had just made drip coffee 5 minutes ago. Like, pourovers taste different and are vastly superior to machine made drip coffee.

Tirzah McPherson

Great place to meet a client or friend, free parking... they don't pester you if you're their a long time. The coffee and pastries and light fare are all tasty.

Charamea Pollock

Awesome spot and great coffee. One time location was closed due to preparing for an event, owner invited me in for coffee if I did mind the extra noise! Super nice!!!

Tanner Johnson

I had the Painter's Mocha. It was amazing. My kids love the hot cocoa and the area by the fireplace set aside for kids to play with toys. Their blueberry scone with fresh cream was so good we all ended up fighting over it. Haha. I loved the lemon bar. This will for sure be my go-to coffee shop. And it helps that its local. #supportlocalbusinesses

Damon peterson

Sorry I waited so long to stop in. Great experience, will be back for sure.

Mary Y

Best shortbread I've ever had... And I'm a shortbread junkie ❤

Robert Ray II

First real Italian macchiato served by Sarah. The coffee was sooo good that I am wrecked for normal! Thanks Sarah!

Sheena Harms

Excellent quality latte, cozy fireside area with lots of seating. Kid friendly.

Jeanette Soloma Hale

I was hesitant because of some negative reviews. It happen to be a perfect mid point for a meeting, so we went for it! Each cup of coffee is freshly ground & brewed!! It was delicious! The nibbles looked tasty too (maybe next time). The service was courteous & polite. My bus partner & I plan on meeting here regularly. :-)

Patty Minehart

One of the best cups of coffee in the cities. Great food, locally owned and nice folks. You should go there.

John Dunsmore

Great coffee and great people. Always kind to you and inviting.

Marianne Davis

Delicious sweet treats and sandwiches. Great coffee and exceptional customer service. I love this place <3

Shahbaz Shah

I like going here. They have live music on Saturday mornings. They are always full and the staff is great.

David Stevens

Amazing atmosphere! Great Coffee, Food, and friendly service!!

Payton Powell

Quaint neighborhood joint with great coffee and awesome pastries. Seemed like a real great place for people in the community to gather, from high school students studying to adults on their Saturday errands. There was also a neat little folk music group playing. We are moving to the area so I went by to check it out and definitely will return.

Blake Von Haden

Do you want to have something hot, sweet, and delicious? Then have the Apple Pie Cider! It is like drinking the most delicious piece of apple pie you have ever had.

Chris

This is the coffee shop that everyone wishes they had near them or their work. They have a great selection of coffee, an amazing bakery with scones, breakfast sandwiches and more, plus comfortable chairs and a peaceful atmosphere to enjoy it in.

P Ford

Kind of on the pricey side but friendly staff.

Pat Blazick-peterson

Great atmosphere, nice artwork on walls, sunny. Great coffee and tea. Nice food options, treats too! Lovely stop.

Paul Flindt

Yummy & beautifully crafted coffee drinks and great pastry items baked in house

Patrick Hayden

I've been here a couple times and they have great coffee and atmosphere. Nice small town place with a upscale look inside. And me and my fiance met here on our first date.

Bob Daniel

The girl behind the counter was very friendly in helping to decide by explaining the types and flavors of coffee.

Patrick Hendricks

Delicious and fresh coffee with the local small town and home feeling.

Katie Pettit

This place is so great! Has the best small town coffee shop vibe with amazing coffee and bakery items.

Marty Flanagan

Very comfortable - only coffee house I have found to have a clever besides Starbucks.

Curtis Hunt

Black Sheep has the best coffee in Minnesota. I love to work from here on my laptop. And my kids love to come, drink hot chocolate, and play with the books and toys provided. Every time I come in I see one or more people I know. Love this place!

Mitchell Books

Coffee is pretty good. They offer good services like always available water.

collin mcfadden

Good coffee, good vibes. A great coffee shop coming into its own. Black Sheep is a trailblazer for business reinvestment in South St. Paul.

Jonathan Gerster

Great atmosphere, food, and coffee. Good prices. Pretty easy to get to.

Nathaniel Bise

Great beverage selection. Fresh ingredients all around. An abundance of choices. I had the Americana and it was a double shot... Perfectly made. The service was great. Love this place.

Peter Salazar

Yummy coffee and food.

Aaron Schendel

Great neighborhood cafe. The prices are on par with the coffee chains and I feel confident these are much higher quality ingredients. I also loved the latte art they did. I was here for a few hours doing some work and it's a pretty solid, family-friendly place.

Ryan Butz

This is a great spot to grab some coffee and spend some time. The place is clean, has comfy chairs, very friendly and inviting, and the owner is a world champion espresso maker. Go spend an hour chilling out in this fun coffee shop.

Michael Michael

Worst customer service I've ever seen. Owner acts like she's a privileged person. She's borderline on being a racist. I would rather drink pond water than any of their coffee. So if you're asking for my opinion I would steer clear of this entire business.. especially the owner, privileged white woman.

Cameron Lindberg

Super nice peoples, solid espresso, lots of seating. Local art decorates the blue and green walls.

Michael Jurrens

The bluegrass band that frequents this establishment is wonderful. Not to mention their espresso!

Heidi Pence

Sweet neighborhood coffee shop with great coffee and bakery.

Heidi Eskeli

The caramel roll was yum! And coffee was very good. Nice place to rest a minute for cuppa and a buddy.

Harvey Zaccardi

Super nice people they make a dam good cuppa Joe.

Lee Witte

Great service, fast and friendly.

Scott Realty

Friendly staff and tasty coffee

Rachael Warner

I went here for the first time and simply loved the ambiance, the coffee, and the friendly staff. And the baked goods are out of this world! Thinking about making this a more regular spot for getting some quiet work done.

Angela Brown

Best coffee I've ever had, hands down. The first cup I had 10 years ago (just black, nothing "fancy") opened my eyes to what GOOD coffee is supposed to taste like. When it's good, you don't need anything added, in my opinion (just like a good steak doesn't need steak sauce). I literally judge all other coffees by these guys and rarely does anything else come close.

Amy Lauria

Love Black Sheep Coffee! They have great food and a large area with art from local artists. Give them a shot before you stop into a chain coffee shop.

Linnea Balderrama

Cute cafe with excellent food quality for the prices. Fun bluegrass band today too!

Debra Stangl

Great atmosphere! Saturday mornings have live music. Great place to meet friends! Over the top bakery items and good food. Oh, I almost forgot, COFFEE!

Emily Carlson

Coffee shop perfection. Great community, superb coffee, delicious food, rop-notch atmosphere. Love all around.

Adam Bobst

It was ok; some atmosphere, but not much different than other coffee shops.

Lilith Davies

Very nice workers and really good iced americanos

Erin Hallis

LOVED this place!!! Well worth the 20 minute drive. Cute place, perfect for working or socializing.

Jarrod Berge

A lovely local coffee house tucked into the quiet heart of South Saint Paul.

Don Narr

This place definitely has the local vibe going. Friendly staff know many lunch clients by name and favorite drink. Great sandwiches, soup and treats.

Jesus Balderrama

I love this place! For a small Cafe their prices are very reasonable. You also get quality food and quality beverages. I rarely give 5 stars, but this place deserves it.

Wendy Wimberley

Good food, great staff and nice atmosphere. I come here several times a month and always enjoy the experience. I recommend this to anyone looking for a nice spot to light for an hour or two to relax with a bite and sup. ☺ Do remember, though, that they close early (3 p.m.) Sunday and Monday. The rest of the week has normal hours.

Kurt Gnan

Grwat customer service coffee is Awesome and fresh baked items tasted delicious!

Nathaniel Dahl

Great spot with great coffee

Coffee and bakery with a cozy feeling-- have a good coffee and alternative milk selection. Vegan/gluten free food option

Jason Hedlund

Excellent coffee shop/cafe. Best cappuccino and best breakfast sandwich I've ever had! Thank you.

Vincent and Danielle Ruiz-Ponce

The Musicians Hideaway

Simply good coffee and easy going atmosphere.

John Starcevich

Very friendly staff and excellent service. The baked goods are absolutely wonderful! They have an excellent selection. Lots of different coffees to choose from. The live music is very nice. I love the beautiful fireplace

Chris Moore

Great coffee. They roast their own beans on site.

Matthew Thompson

Blueberry muffin was hot and fresh, house coffee was piping hot. On a rainy day that's all I needed to keep going. This small local coffee shop is my place to go.

Keith Arntson

Best latte in recent memory. I was a barista for 4 years, and the foam was perfect. Good Caribbean jerk chicken sandwich, too.

Fernando Buarque

A perfect place with a perfect classical expresso and croissants. I loved.

Ryan Neal

A place where a stranger feels like a neighbor. A coffee connoisseurs safe haven & their bakery is a hidden gem!!! (Try the dark chocolate, apricot & coconut scone) *it's vegan*

Darío Palacín Melchor

Great ambient and great coffee!

Eve Gauthier

I love this place! Lots of different drink options on top of the usual. I love the Miel! Great tea section too. Food is also amazing! They make everything in their kitchen. All around great place for breakfast, lunch or coffee. For those with kids, there’s a few baskets with toys.

Danie B

Black Sheep is truly a hidden gem. Their coffee and baked goods are outstanding and the staff are incredibly friendly. The owner, I'm not sure what his name is, is very down to earth and has done a great job creating an open and welcoming space for anyone that walks through the door.

Dean Farinella

Artfully made coffee drinks. Great quiche and breakfast sandwiches. I had a latte and a sausage breakfast sandwich. Both were excellent.

Crystal Spanjers

One of the few shops that does a cafe meil

Christopher Casarez

Cool little coffee shop with great bakery and good food and awesome staff!

Laurel D

I just had it for the first time today, I had 15 minutes to pass while I waited for the bus so I thought why not. I loved it! I got a plain latte and a purple turkey sandwich. I'll definitely be going back! I wish I would have gotten the employees name, he was a young guy, he told me that their sandwiches are heavenly and he was not exaggerating one bit.

Chrissi Prom

Nice little coffee shop in SSP! Fantastic coffee and bakery, friendly staff, and a cozy little place to meet up with a friend or bring your kids. They do have live music sometimes as well.

Kristina Scott

Friendly staff, dairy free options & little toys for kiddos to keep busy. I love this place!!!

Diana Morales

LOVE LOVE LOVE this coffee shop! The ambience is very relaxed and their coffee is amazing! Cannot rave enough about this place.

Steven Livingstone

Good Cafe with lots of room for studying. Usually quiet with moderate amount of chatter. Their espresso based coffee is excellent. Their baristas are well trained. They know the difference between a cappuccino and a latte. Their blueberry scones are amazing!

Ricki Groskreutz

Staff was down to earth and very friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed the Quiche Lorraine. I tried the organic beans from Ecudor pour over coffee, a tad sharp for my taste, but still enjoyable and the quality was apparent. Looking forward to coming again soon to try other options. Plenty of space to relax or accomplish some work or studying.

Neil Palosaari

Nice low key social place with limited menu but the food is good and coffee is fresh. Comfortable decor.

Leticia Montoya

The BEST coffee. A large variety of coffee choices. Excellent homemade baked goods. I love the espresso donut and the maple scone. Everything here is fresh and delicious.

Katie Kaelble

It seems like the drinks are bigger. And they're slightly cheaper. But not in the taste. Coffee was excellent. I would choose black sheep over big Corporate any time

Rick Casey

Poor service, bad attitude from employee

Jon McClure

Friendly service, great scone, coffee was a little acidic for me but there were many blends. Cozy fireplace with comfortable seating. An inviting independent coffee experience if you've tired of the Starbucks scene.

Angi Desp

We love this local place! Many times they'll be live music going on during the day on the weekend. The cranberry lemon scone with creme fresh is a MUST.

Terry Stoerzinger

Also has limited bakery goods, sandwiches and breakfast items. Bluegrass group on Saturday mornings.

Thomas B. Myers

Great coffee, always hopping, tasty food, great service!

Kyla Lee

Black Sheep is such a cool, cute little joint in South St. Paul. Super cozy, the perfect spot for meeting friends or colleagues. Amazing baked goods and fabulous coffee.

Mike Malone
