Quint essential coffee shop. Great beans. Friendly people. They’re apart of the community and next to the art institute can’t complain. Loved working here.

Very laid back hip sort of a seattle-like experience great Hangout!

Always so nice and cool, best muffins and cinnamon rolls. Issue is I never want to eat Or drink here because its pretty dusty and the air is always thick and hot.

Best coffee shop in the cities! the cherry lime italian soda exceeds my expectations every time. customer service is out of this world, i would recommend to anyone looking for a cute local coffee shop to satisfy their needs. the girl with the moon tattoo has such wonderful customer service and makes me feel at home every visit. i will be back many times

Great coffee shop, great coffee, great staff and the only place I have ever purchased art off the wall from!!!The best cold brew I have ever had in a coffee shop!!

Great people working here. Good prices on tasty things. Nice environment.

Love this little hole in the wall. If I wasn’t looking for it, I definitely would have walked right by and missed it. You don’t want to miss it! Coffee is on par & the waffles are heaven. Definitely a cozy community spot. Friendly people, couches and tables, games and books.

I love the dark chocolate mochas from here.

Very comfortable place very cozy ♥️

From the fancy oatmeal, fancy waffles & awesome muffins. Oh yeah! The coffee is delicious too !!! Lol

Excellent!! Great coffee & baked goods, ot crowded, nice staff.

This place is YUMMY and the service is excellent! Got breakfast and they stayed open extra late so I could pick it up. I HIGHLY recommend

Great staff. Phenomenal coffee. Banana bread and the scones are delicious.

I had the lavender honey latte with almond milk and it was wonderful! Quick service, too!

Their vegan scones are the best!! My favorite drink is their white chocolate cherry Chai. My favorite coffee shop in Minneapolis!!

Great coffee and such welcoming and loving staff. Definitely coming back.

Its a classic hipster joint with amazing coffee. Support local yall!

No frills, non-chain little basement coffee place with good muffins and great coffee. Nice and simple - just how I like it.

Minneapolis has a plague of coffee shops, one every few blocks, and with each person adopting theirs with a loyalty that we generally maintain for sports teams.The Boiler Room is mine, but only because its actually the best one. The house-made chai is an important reason why; the availability of a variety of tea and coffee blends given its size is another; the pricepoint is a third; their work with a steamer is a fourth. Theres several more reasons, but can be summarized otherwise as: not generally fancy but delicious, close-to-home, and affordable.Boiler Room for life.

Cute with good food and drinks! Dog friendly!

This spot has really grown on me. The baristas are super chill and unique, and offer quick and friendly service. Also. they feature local artists work, which you can buy if it tickles your fancy!

Amazing coffee! Thanks for keeping us warm on our walk today!

Iced Chai Latte and vegan scone was great. Flies were a little hectic at the end of summer, so eating outside would be advisable when weather permits.

Love Boiler room! Theyve put up plexiglass shields (ones that are actually large enough to be effective) around the ordering and pick up stations. Feels very safe!

Good coffee fast quality service clean and affordable

Very friendly love the atmosphere

I love Boiler Room, and think they have really done a stellar job of keeping their employees and customers safe in this time. I always see some cute dog or another when I get a coffee there, and love the art by local artists on the wall. Plus, this coffee shop is right on the 11 bus line, which is great in a pinch when youre in a rush to go to work and didnt have time to make your coffee at home!

...Good friendly staff and friendly people

Awsome coffee

Staff is consistently unfriendly, borderline rude. They charge $8 for a sandwich and even $3 for a small cup of cottage cheese, which is overpriced in my book. I used to like this place, but the baristas give off a negative vibe. I won’t be back.I’m editing my review to provide more specific info after reading a review Tankut Atuk wrote today. My “last straw” experience was yesterday (4/5) with what I assume are the same two power-tripping baristas, unless they’re all like that?I had been a semi-frequent customer here. I was in the area and came in to kill a bit of unexpected free time before my next client meeting. One of the baristas came over and informed me I’d have to leave if I wasn’t going to order anything. I was a bit surprised, but technically I was in the wrong - it’s a business and they had every right to ask me not to take up space, so I got up to leave vs. purchasing anything since it was time to go anyway.I went to use the bathroom on my way out however, and was informed by the other barista that, “If you aren’t going to purchase anything, then I can’t let you use the bathroom.” At this point I was completely taken aback. I can’t remember ever being denied acesss to a bathroom before in my adult life.Owner: if you’re looking to attract only arrogant hipsters and drive everyone else out, keep doing what you’re doing. Otherwise, find some friendly baristas who have customer service skills and ditch the ones with an aggressive attitude. I like to support small businesses, but Starbucks is doing it right with their more welcoming policy.

Great coffee, great service, nice venue.

So welcoming and very delicious coffee.

Great atmosphere, great room and food :) 2021 will be better

Enjoyed a cup of coffee and was able to work comfortably from here for a little while. The service was great and the place was a reasonable noise level.

Love this place!

Only went once. But, the staff was awesome, the coffee was great and had a bunch of options, and the atmosphere was chill. Fancy oatmeal is a rare, but beautiful find. 10/10 on the speed of service. Wonderful job!

I really like this place they have very good coffees and tea varieties but i stopped going there because of the mean barista. She obviously has attitude issues.Is that so hard to give customer service?

Service and atmosphere was pleasant. Quiet area, books available to read. I was pleasantly surprised. Will be going here more often. I recommend this shop 100%

Delicious Lavender Honey Latte, excellent service and the place is dog friendly, has WiFi, and also has a small outooor patio

Great, but spicy chai!!!

Ive had a lot of Carmel coolers. But this place has set the bar pretty high as of today

Been stopping here for years, I moved away but still manage to stop 2 or 3 times a month. Employees and owner are the best. I do a whole milk latte,, outstanding. Sandwiches Waffles etc are great also..

I didnt pick up a loyalty stamp card on my first visit, but on my second visit the barista recognized me and immediately gave me a stamp card-- with the stamp I missed!Because of that, this is definitely going to be my special cup, at least once a week.

This place is right by my apartment so I go here often. I often work there for a couple hours to break up the day when I work from home. They also let well behaved dogs come up to the counter to order so its my favorite Sunday morning walking stop with my pup. Everyone I have met there has been great and the owner is very active in the community which is a plus.

One of my favorite places to sit and work, read, or meet with a friend. There are comfy couches, tables and chairs, and booths. Rotating local artwork on walls. Welcoming to all. No obnoxiously loud music. Good selection of teas and food (not just pastries)-- alongside coffee, of course.

Went here once and never again. The barista girl was rude and talked down to me. Ill stick to caribou coffee, they have better customer service skills.

Its alright. Not one of my favorites. I lived on the edge and tried the Granny (iced chai with cherry and white chocolate) which was fine. Service was alright as well but nothing to write home about.

Good coffee, tasty pastries. Friendly vibe

Nice neighborhood vibe, friendly staff and customers, and often dogs, as well.

Our beloved neighborhood coffeehouse.Mike, the owner, has made it his mission to “keep it in the neighborhood”. His loyalty to Minneapolis is beautiful and his employees treat everyone with a smile and delicious caffeine. ;)Oh and your pups are always welcome for a little doggy treat!

Great coffee and tea selection served up fast by a friendly staff. The baked goods are top notch as well, and the location (in a Stevens Square basement) is unique. Incredible music as well (Fishmans artist playlist). Only suggested improvement: the furniture and layout inside.

Amazing tasting coffee, simple menu but with a great amount of customization and amazing service. Super fast too! I will be coming back!

Frothy!

Great service. Amazing waffles and coffee. This was a super chill place to study for a couple hours. They had the doors open since it was nice outside which was a plus.

One of the best coffee spots in Minneapolis!

This coffee shop is super clean, comfortable, and has quick service! The barista was even kind enough to check the almond milk for corn syrup b/c I have an allergy. Turns out it was good for me as was the hot chocolate!! Id highly recommend this spot.

Great artistic and comfortable atmosphere. Delicious drinks and food. I love walking here in the morning to grab a bite and my dose of wake me up!

Go here a few times a week as I live nearby. Staff is incredibly friendly and the coffee is seriously some of the best in town!

Wrote my thesis here, so Im somewhat biased, but the atmosphere is cozy, inviting, and relaxed. The coffee is distinctly acidic and has a unique flavor not uncommon to other local cafes. They usually have basic muffins and sandwiches and whatnot although youre better off bringing your own sandwich if youre camping out. Nice, large bookshelf. Free WiFi. Clean and secluded bathrooms. Comfy couches. For a place to read and study this is an ideal location.

Great atmosphere and coffee. The chai tea latte is delicious and very spicy. They have games to play and books to read. I also really like how they did the bathrooms. The barista was beyond nice. Awesome place overall.

Cool atmosphere. Decent tea selection served in nice little iron teapots.

I like this coffee house. Its in a part of town I feel need something. A nice guy waited on me and my son. Retro style furniture and feel! And great coffee!

Great place, friendly staff. Always a cute drawing of a cartoon character on the wall. Also, the work of local artists on the wall gives the place more personality. Last: their coffee is really good!! Keep your eyes open for: pour over (dark roast) and their banana bread.

A tasty selection of light fare, plus lovely coffee/lattes, etc. Friendly, casual staff. The atmosphere was quiet, almost studiously so, but there is a conversation area & booths for groups. This is my go-to destination now when I hit MIA.

Rustic, but clean and comfortable. My large skim cappuccino was only $5 and quite good. Staff was warm and friendly. Sweet snacks and sandwiches looked good. Music was avant guard, but not loud. Wall art was interesting. Unisex bathrooms are clean.

Nice little basement coffee house! Features a variety of seating options including a couple outdoor tables. Coffee and service were top notch!

Coffee is awesome made fresh

Awesome atmosphere and the fancy oatmeal blows me away its so good! Its got wild rice, raisins, cranberries and pecans and tastes great with or without the complimentary cream and brown sugar.

Boiler Room is a fantastic local cafe owned by Michael Graca (who is the bees knees) and run by his fantastic staff. Its a really great hangout with local art and a loyal customer base. It really makes the neighborhood of Stevens Square quite special.

This is my favorite coffee shop to go to. Its so convenient, the staff are always so welcoming and upbeat, and the Coco Chainel (chai latte with coconut) is AMAZING. Their scones are super tasty too, especially while theyre still warm. Yum!

Hidden gem, very friendly staff and excellent coffee and food. We had the classic waffle and fancy oatmeal, outstanding. Highly recommend!

Wonderful service received from a beautiful, friendly young lady!! And the coffee was awesome as well!!Absolutely must try their famous waffles the next time Im in town!!

This is a must if youre into local coffee shops. A good size, and tucked away a bit underground, the Boiler room is super cute, with comfy couches and books to read, friendly staff, tons of local art and events, plus its dog friendly! Oh, and the coffees good too. And the waffles are pretty great, give em a shot!

Love coming here. Great lattes and the baristas are always very nice. I find it kind of cool that its actually a boiler room, and although it can be uncomfortably hot inside in the summer, they have outside seating too. Having this coffee shop so close made living in this area much better. Going to miss it when I move.

Good service, usually plenty of space, interesting artwork... My favorite drinks are their flavored chais.

Espresso drinks, baked goods, and their dark roast are all standouts. Staff are always super cool. The waffles and sandwiches are also worth checking out

This place had a nice atmosphere and very unique individualistic abstract paintings and pictures on the walls. The coffee was good too!

I meet friends here for coffee once a week. It is a very congenial place for conversation. Very good drip coffee. Also, they make their own chai and it is spicy, delicious and not too sweet. So great!

The Boiler room is 1 block from my home. I love to support my neighborhood businesses. This coffee shop is cozy, dog friendly, and affordable.the coffee is excellent. Coming here is my morning ritual.

Casual interior, that is why feels comfortable. Good coffee and some special drinks. Breakfast oatmeal some sandwiches, cookies. Stay, relax, get a bite, drink and do some reading, study or job.

I’m obsessed!!

I love Boiler Room, although I cant go as much as Id like. My only complaint is theyre not open as late as other places! I love their Rooster (Vienna Roast). Cozy, quiet place which is a nice change of pace compared to other busier places like Spyhouse and others. Employees have always been great also. Prices seem to be better than the bigger name places as well.For price, taste, service, and atmosphere, this is definitely my number one spot for coffee!

Chill atmosphere. Laid back. Currently has a coffee promotion. (Buy ten get one free? )

I love this place. The atmosphere and staff. Quite and cozy place to hang out and chat or get some work done. Great place for meetups

Wonderful Place Great Minneapolis Neighborhood Atmosphere

Great little coffee shop! They make their own chai which is wonderful. Good vibes

Went there in exploration of a non-chained coffee shop in the neighborhood and was charmed with raw simplicity and friendly vibe of a place. Coffee is also good, and iced raspberry white mocha is a seasonal special that I enjoyed most.

Cozy

Nice community coffee shop. Cozy. Friendly. Dog treats at the counter!

Best thing about living in Stevens Square. Great coffee, chai, scones, muffins, waffles, and oatmeal, and not too expensive - they also dont do the teeny 8-oz small thing like lots of the other indie coffe shops in town, the small size is still 12 oz. The staff is so friendly and they all have great taste in music. Theres always cool art by local artists on the walls. Open early and into the evening. Its the perfect neighborhood third place - ideal for getting work done, having a meeting, making a quick stop on the way to the bus, or just hanging out for an afternoon. Dog-friendly, unpretentious, and steadfastly hospitable.

1st time there, it was great! Baristas were awesome and friendly- a very cool customer came in with a dog & out of the blue the dog gave a double high five!! :-) vey positive experience and set a great tone for the whole day- looking forward to another visit -

Walked here from downtown. Owner was super friendly vibe was fun and cozy. Old couches and board games and books. Food looked good. Coffee was pretty good. Nothing was outstanding except service but its the kind of place id want to keep going back too and hang out. It felt like what I thought was approaching the platonic ideal of coffeeshop when I was younger.

Great staff, excellent coffee...a welcoming, no frills community coffee shop, one of my favorites!

Great, neighborhood coffee shop! Fancy oatmeal is a must!

Great community atmosphere, coffee is amazing, great company, and beautiful place to sit and read or jump in and out for a quick cup.

Such a fun place! Great coffee, great atmosphere, and if you gotta wiz, you get to see those restrooms. Out of sight!

One of my regular go-tos. Here all the time. Friendly, chill, lots of owners bring their cute dogs come through for treats. Sometimes wish it had more seating but that would maybe make it a little less cozy, which is one reason its such a nice quaint place.

Coffee is pretty good. Barista is dismissive and rude. When someone he chooses to interact with comes in, he complains loudly about how people don’t tip him enough. It’s Disruptive to the vibe and uncomfortable.

Delicious waffles and the coffees pretty good. The staff is great too! Plus, they feature local artist works on their walls.

Great atmosphere, tasty drinks and friendly service! New favorite coffee shop :)
