Dogwood Coffee East Lake - Minneapolis

Do you want a nice spot to enjoy coffee and socialize? This is the place for you. The batista are very sociable and fun. The atmosphere is relaxing and filled with beautiful people. And the beautiful people are all friendly (probably because they're buzzing on delightful caffeine)

We love coming here on a weekend morning. The drinks (especially the seasonal) are great and so are the pastries. Definitely a comfortable environment. We also buy their whole beans for home. Recommend.

Love the small batch coffee. All of their different coffees make a plethora of tasty choices to choose from

On an overcast day after spending some time outdoors in the chilly Spring air I needed something to warm up. Being the closest coffee shop, a friend and I decided Dogwood was the destination. She immediately was drawn to the spumoni latte special, while I couldn't say no to the brown sugar cardamom latte (a favorite combo of mine). The barista was friendly and gracious despite seemingly being the only person working at a rather busy time, and boy did they make some amazing coffee! Their Rwanda single source beans are terrific for coffee at home as well. And to top it off, another customer complimented me and my friend on our outfits as we enjoyed our coffee outside. In summary: great coffee and flavor combos, excellent staff, and lovely (from what I could tell) customer base

Dogwood puts together just the perfect espresso, and you can buy beans to take home as well. My barista was kind and very skillful. Served with a bump of sparkling water for optimal flavor. If you have time, the pourover coffee is worth it. I can recommend the yogurt parfait, or a passion fruit croissant doughnut (yes, that's how they spell it) from Marc Heu if you are living big. Haven't had a bad pastry yet.
