There is ample street parking around this cafe. The staff are really kind and well informed about the menu. I ordered the pesto sandwich with a cup of cauliflower parm soup. There was great seating options on the patio. However, I was disappointed in the wait for food. My spouse ordered the quesadilla on the same ticket and received his food about ten minutes earlier than I received mine, which was fine. But it took 30 minutes for my soup and sandwich to come out because the “soup was too hot to serve.” However, the food was really good. I would recommend visiting this restaurant, but not being on a schedule.

Great neighborhood hangout! A group of us meet here fairly regularly. The pandemic winter was rough but they set up a tent with heaters so customers could continue to meet during this ridiculous pandemic. Made to order sandwiches, homemade soups. Tempting daily specials — I had a spicy latte and it was just that! Service can be a bit slow when it’s busy — but just sit down and relax and enjoy the day—OK?!

I feel hurt about my experience here this morning. Was initially approached and cornered that I need to make a purchase. I clarified I wasn’t aware it was an immediate requirement and needed some time to make a decision. I communicated I was anxious from being cornered. Employee (Alex?) was adamant I needed to leave immediately and attacked me. I was accosted and physically attacked with my computer by the employee. Had to start recording when it escalated to that point. It’s rather unfortunate that this is my first experience in the city. I’m just a visitor passing though. Sadly, I’ve been to hundreds of coffee shops from Texas, through Alabama, Kentucky and far out as Vermont over the past few months and this is the single bad incident I’ve had. Speaking up about this so hopefully no one else gets treated like this in the future. We’re human beings. I asked for the manager and was told they’ll be in later. Till then I guess[Update]It’s further disheartening to read the “owner” response below. It’s tough to see how the employee slamming my laptop on my hands and grabbing my backpack is “polite”. From my perspective, there’s no excuse to lay hands on another person. For added context, I’m 6ft 200 lbs so I’m able to physically defend myself if I have to. But violence is not the answer.It’s all good though. I don’t wish you illAll the best. Peace ✌🏾

I am so happy that the day brought me here!Splendid atmosphere, lovely menu, gracious service.Thanks Jeff, Alex, & Zach!I’ll be back!

Friendly quick service

Always friendly. Their coffee is great. We always buy beans and have them grind them for us. Makes the best coffee at home too!

Lovely corner coffee shop. Excellent coffee and terrific scone. Staff were lovely. We were visiting from SoDak and would happily come here again!

This place has lots to offer, so even though I didnt like my coffee drinks enough for how expensive they were, Im still giving it five stars for being a nice atmosphere with plenty of parking and LOTS to offer from ice cream to coffee drinks to lunches and waffles. I need to go back and try more! So far, the iced latte and kyoto cold brew (fruity/floral taste, slightly sweet) werent my favorites, but oh well.

Nice assortment of coffee drinks and breakfast options. I got the breakfast quesadilla and could only eat half (had the other half the next day)...so good! Also got the Flower Power latte with honey and vanilla--excellent!

Cute coffee shop with tasty, high quality coffee, and good food. Each time Ive gone, Ive purchased a breakfast sandwich and a latte. They have indoor and outdoor dining. Beautiful artwork on display, too!

Nice cozy place and cool front seating area. They have ice cream which I cant have. 😞 I had a soy vanilla iced latte and it was good. They were out of the gluten free peanut butter choc chip 🍪. So 😢I have been back a few times and I was able to get the gluten free peanut butter 🍪 and the monster 🍪...oh my goodness, so good. All the staff are super friendly. Must go and have ☕ here..everyone.They have taken out the booths and put in a big table. No seating in the front area right now . Still making great drinks and have gluten free bars and cookies and the coconut macaroons are very very good.

Nice little coffee shop with good food. Dont go out of my way to go, but when Im in that area it a great option. Good bakery and more hearty meals like burritos as well. Small space but they use it efficiently and there is plenty of seating outside as well (covered)

Ordered burrito and sandwich, both delicious, fast served and with excellent presentation. Only minus was the heavy metal all time as ambiance music.

Cortada was brewed perfectly. Attentive, friendly service. South side neighborhood gem and will happily return!

Very hit or miss customer service, but great food and surroundings

This is a really nice cozy place that sometimes has limited space: during certain times in the morning and afternoon there are particular tables for dining only, which I think is great and fair: there is plenty of other bench space around.The coffee here is super tasty, and the breakfast sandwich might just be the most perfect sandwich there is. Get it with bacon- youll be glad you did.

A friendly neighborhood coffee shop is always so much fun to explore. I have gone here several times to warm up to a cup of coffee or nice glass of wine while doing some work. They have wonderful staff and so many treats, food, alcohol and ice cream!

We ordered a sizeable delivery for work and I requested off-menu adjustments. They were accomodating, and my sandwich (vegan panini) far surpassed my expectations. Thanks guys!

Great local coffee shop. I worked from here and had a lovely iced herbal tea, pumpkin muffin, and Reuben sandwich. Quiet enough to read or work peacefully. Staff is super nice and friendly.I knocked off a star because the wifi kind of goes in and out. Also didnt see any outlets for plugging in a laptop, which is kind of a bummer, but not a deal breaker. Maybe theyre another spot. I will be back!

The coffee, the atmosphere, the breakfast sandwich...Stop in and relax out front or on the patio.oh... and cookies as big as our head.

This place was included in the Craftnotes Coffee Passport I received as a gift. We went a while out of our way to visit as a result -- successful advertising by the business, right? -- but were then told flatly by the person behind the counter that Fireroast wasnt honoring the complimentary drink listed in the little passport yet.The coffee passports have been out for a few years, from what I can see. I tried to ask the blasé young woman behind the counter when Fireroast would honor the coupon, and got no real response. Frankly this employee seemed totally indifferent. No doubt she was put in an awkward spot by her employer, but she didnt seem to care much.Under almost any circumstance, I would have ordered more than one item to balance out the free drink in a situation like this. I want to support the local place, you know? The person who gave me this present would like to have brought me to a new joint, too. I dont even care about the money. Its only a few bucks! But anyway, instead of that potential goodwill and business, Fireroast was sort of... needlessly rude.Whatever combination of poor management (which listed the shop in the passport book and then didnt honor that) and indifferent employees I ran into here, it was a jerky experience. Even if there was a way to know when, in the future, they might honor their little passport coupon, I wouldnt go out of my way again to try them.-----Update:You will see a reply from the owner of this business below. It makes claims inconsistent with the information I got from the publishers of the book involved, when I asked them too about this little moment. It also describes what the employee told me inaccurately.I will also point out that the owner claims to have reviewed video footage -- when I didnt mention a time or even a date on which I had visited. This is a strange claim.With respect to tempers and tantrums: Physician, heal thyself. Ive worked retail before in my life, and responded to complaints. This person needs a lesson in the latter skill. My abuse in this case took the form of an internet review, the tone of which anyone can judge above for themselves. No employees were spoken to with the tiniest shred of malice or abuse. (I also made a purchase. Like I said above... Its not the money.)Coffee places are about good will. This place went out of its way to sort of spoil that feeling. You know? And now the owner is doubling down. Wrongheaded days work.

OMG can you say LAVENDER ALMOND MILK LATTE?! Ive had floral lattes previously but this one takes the damn cake... not too sweet, not fake or syrupy tasting- just perfect! My husband is a huge fan of their breakfast burritos too. Highly recommend!

Really a great place for the coffee and snacks. The owner takes great pride in what he does and it shows in his space.

My favorite coffee shop! Always friendly service and great pup friendly patio!

Cute little comfy colorful coffee shop. Very affordable, kind staff, and delicious! Big windows so I had lots of sun while I sat and enjoyed my snack.

We like this business. We want to support this business. This morning we had an unpleasant experience and will wait a while before we return.The staff was unpleasant with the customers and talked about customers who just left behind the counter. At one point one of the staffers shouted sarcastically, “Have a nice day” to a woman who’d waited over 20 minutes for a cappuccino. My wife and I waited 25 minutes for a food and drink order we had placed online. The discount codes we tried to use were not able to be used.This business is owned by a proprietor who prides himself on high quality coffee and food and well trained staff. The staff operates well when the owner is present. If he is not in the shop, I suggest coming back another time.

Got a turtle mocha and it was really really good. This place knows there coffee.

We go here once a week for a coffee because of the friendly local feel.The gluten-free monster cookies are amazing!

Delicious sandwiches, soups, and baked goods! Not a coffee drinker, but plenty of other beverage options. Heaters on the patio are a great addition!

As a fellow barista, I know good coffee. This... is great coffee! Amazing ambiance, friendly worker, must visit.

Possibly best coffee in mpls, great atmosphere and price was very good. Definitely going to be coming back and adding this to my normal businesses.

This place is lovely! My boyfriend and I ordered take-out today, the coffee drinks were very tasty, but the croissant breakfast sandwich was AMAZING! Will definitely be going back to this place weekly and supporting a fantastic local business :-)

Very cool atmosphere inside and out. I was greeted right away as I walked in. The server behind the counter made a special drink for me and it was delicious! I will definitely come back and try to Sebastian Joes ice cream

Cozy ambiance and friendly service. No indoor seating allowed yet but they did have a patio with heaters available which was nice. Parking is very limited.

I was pleasantly surprised by their large drink menu selection. And I have cheap mimosas! I only ordered drinks at this venue, but they do have food.both of the employees that I talk to or friendly! The atmosphere of the place is what I would describe as business casual. Bar style seating, Booth seating, and table seating. Modern cozy, but not modern in that oversaturation of different colors type of way.its unfortunate that theres a step there that makes it inaccessible to some disabled people, and the space is kind of narrow to navigate for other types of disabled people.

We live in the area and love Fireroast. Their drinks are wonderful, the seasonal spinach salad is always a winner, and they have done such an amazing job figuring out how to do well and keep people safe during covid. Our church often gets food from Fireroast for events and it is always delicious!

I was having work done to my car and was looking for a place near the garage to hang out while I waited and, with COVID-19 to contend with, my options were limited. I called Fireroast the day before to find out what my options were. I spoke with Lars, who let me know both me and my puppy, Sylvia, were most welcome to hang out on the patio. He could not have been more friendly or helpful. Not only did Lars and his coworker give great service, but the food and coffee were excellent as well. I’ll definitely be back.Jeffrey D

Great neighborhood spot! Nice coffee selection, and sandwiches are some of the best in the area. (Strongly recommend both the chicken salad sandwich and turkey panini.)

Stopped in for lunch and there was quite of bit of clutter in the lobby and getting the food I called ahead for took a while. That gave me ample time to look at their menu and realized I was charged a few extra dollars. I orded a panni and a cup of soup and wasnt given the combo price. However the food was good and I would try this place again.

Great coffee! But the food isnt very good. Everything is microwaved and not fresh

Fun little local coffee shop, very involved in the community. I enjoyed talking to the staff and learning more about their business. Amazing ginger cookies, Ill be back for more of those!

Wonderful coffee and delicious GF oatmeal monster cookie! Very friendly and pleasant staff. Loved our visit here.

Lived in this neighborhood my whole life. Go here for the delicious food at least once a week with my wife. Outstanding attention to detail here and great atmosphere. This is the kind of place this neighborhood needs.

The craft coffee drinks surpass my expectations every time and the food is delightful. They simply have the prettiest outdoor seating in the neighborhood. Its the perfect destination for those inclined to meander the nearby Minnehaha Falls or West River Parkway trails.

Went in for the first time last week for a couple coffees and a breakfast burrito. Really good service, good coffee, and bomb burrito. Would definitely recommend.

I crave their rosemary chicken salad croissant sandwich. They also are awesome community members and have been really happy to partner with my church nearby for catering. All the things they make are delicious and never phoned in.

Nice little place! A break from Starbucks!Had the PININI - Cubano, Wild Rice soup👍 And Salted Carmel Cold Brew Iced CoffeeAnd a Maple Nut Scone ‼️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️PS - the soup is made in house from scratch‼️

Such a cute little coffee shop! It was just down the road from our Air B&B which made it very convenient to get to, there would definitely have been street parking available otherwise though. The coffee is good, the food is good (better than normal cafe food), and the wine was good. What more can you ask for? They also have a really charming patio to sit and relax on. Plus friendly staff!

Waited 10 minutes for an iced Americano. No one in front of me. Not sure what took so long.

Tasty iced coffee!

Great local coffee shop, very friendly owner and staff.

Never ever will I patronize this place again. The owners are gentrification embodied.I wish they’d leave the neighborhood.

Beer, ice cream, coffee and breakfast munchies, what more do you need.

Good coffee, no WiFi password offered - including on patio.

Always friendly. Delicious mochas.

I drove across town to explore this coffee shop today. I was excited but unfortunately left with a bad experience. I tried to use my Craft Notes Passport and they would not honor it. They also spoke very poorly to me of their partnership. I was shocked and annoyed. The way they treated me as a guest and the way they spoke of Craft Notes was immature and bad business.

Enjoyed it greatly. Everything looked delicious! It seemed very family friendly, and dog friendly. If you were walking with your dog, if you ask, they have dog treats for your fuzzy friend. I thought the new design for the seats was really cool. I would definitely go back! I recommend that you go too.

Had not been to Fireroast in over one year. Indoor and outdoor seating areas are comfortable and spaced so as conversations can stay private. Disappointed with the small selection of flavored shots for lattes and that smoothies were no longer available. However, the baristas and other employees were exceptionally professional and courteous.Still one of the best coffeehouses in the Twin Cities!

Coffee shop with great coffee! I had a breakfast burrito that was huge and super tasty. I want to go back and try their regular burrito. They also had a small but good selection of craft beer and wine. Like Arnold said, Ill be back.

I enjoyed the flower power coffee drink of the day as well as sharing a GF monster cookie and a coconut macaroon! The barista was a bit serious, but I was there for the coffee, not the company of the barista.

Had their Yemen origin coffee (light roast) and it was delicious. Came back with family for a delicious breakfast- breakfast burritos and quesadillas. Loved it. And the interior and patio space are beautiful!!

Nice neighborhood coffee shop.Update: Ive been visiting this small neighborhood coffee shop with a friend annually for several years. This year I noticed that the owner has continued to make improvements, including inside furnishings/spaces and a large covered accommodating back outside patio. This is really exemplary for a small neighborhood coffee shop with limited clientele. The coffee/espresso drinks are great and they offer some very nice bakery goods. Prices are reasonable and service is good.

One of the best breakfast sandwiches Ive had!

I can’t say enough awesome things about this place! Everything on the menu is superb and truly the nicest staff around.

Barista offered to make a Decaf Pour Over for me. I LOVE the vibe here. Seating is really nice. Quiet enough to read or journal. This may be my new favorite coffee shop. This place is classy. Outlets for lap tops are available along the wall with high stools.

I actually like this place. The food is good. After double checking their hours today I decided to take the long walk up there in the cold. 30 min prior to closing most of their coffee options and all of their food was unavailable. The young man at the counter said they already cleaned the espresso machine and implied it would be inconvenient to clean it again .Maybe close thirty min earlier when you actually stopped serving your products.Updated my score to reflect that i still recommend this place because service is normally good and that I appreciate the business addressing my issues.

This is a very nice, quaint, little coffee shop. Locally owned, the space boasts a handful of cozy booths along with high chair bars around the room. Its a good spot for working along or conversing with friends. Apart from the coffee and espresso, they also have beer and wine - with some great happy hour deals. Every day from 2-5pm you can get $1 off glasses of wine, beer, and appetizers. And thats all day for Sunday. And on Fridays bottles of wine are half-off. I would definitely be back here for happy hours and studying.

Cute coffee shop in the middle of a neighborhood. The shop has cool furniture, a nice ambience, and they serve food! Im going to have to stop here more often!

I’ve loved Fireroast for years—great food, great coffee, friendly staff—but recently their customer service has been lacking. Frequently I see people there with their laptops, as is common at coffee shops. I called ahead to see if they had outlets so I could come do some schoolwork. I was told using laptops wasn’t allowed on weekends, despite my seeing many, many people with them on the weekends. Since they’ve incorporated alcohol and are wooing a different crowd, they seem to have forgotten their community that has supported them and been regulars for years. Such a shame. They went from a wonderful neighborhood coffee spot to aspiring to be a brew pub. I know I speak for several people besides myself when I say that we’d like the old Fireroast back, please! We went there for the community atmosphere as well as the delicious coffee. Now we seem to be battling the hippie crowd who have turned it into a not-so-welcoming or -lowkey space.

Best is class service! Quiet, cozy, amazing food and drinks! The chai tea was delicious!

This is what the owner of FireRoast has to say about the surrounding neighborhood and the people who live there.

Great coffee--as in this is my benchmark for other coffee shops. The menu is not extensive (its a small space), but the food is really good. The staff is always friendly. They rotate artwork by local artist. All around great place.

This charming neighborhood cafe is absolutely amazing. Great coffee, food, and the owners are very active in ensuring great service. An all around great vibe.

A lovely, cozy neighborhood cafe. Pumpkin spice muffin, tasty latte, friendly employees and good music. Thumbs up!

Two out-of-this-world favorites here: coffee floats (ice cream in coffee: why has no one done this before?!) and the rosemary chicken salad sandwich. Wasnt very impressed with the presentation, but one bite of that sandwich and I no longer cared. Hands down the best chicken salad I have ever had. Lovely strong rosemary flavor, fresh tasting chicken, and perfect texture.

Great variety of coffee drinks. Cold press and pour-overs are my favorites. The Breakfast Sandwich with Chorizo is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have had. The space is nice; plenty of room but still cozy.

Delightful neighborhood shop that offers tasty food, coffee and tea, and ice cream. Theyve also started offering wine and beer. Comfortable seating for visiting with others or to do work or studying. Jeff, the owner, really cares about the business and this neighborhood. Stop in if you youre in the area!

Cozy spot. Would love to see some new food items on the menu. Enjoy the art. Coffee is a little expensive. Great staff.

First time going here and loved the vibe! Very friendly staff in a very cozy, cute and charming shop. I plan to go back!

Its hard to verbalize how lovely this place is. The food and drink options are wonderful (special place in my heart for the cold brew), and the atmosphere is comfortable and charming. They have stained glasswork all over, as well as a really cute bonsai tree. The employees are friendly and the outdoor seating gives you a chance to appreciate the quiet beauty of this lovely neighborhood. Im glad I work near here. Definitely becoming my morning spot!

Was told 20 minutes for a food item... 40 minutes later still nothing. Dont offer food if it takes that long, dont lie to the customer about how long it takes.Staff was nice and refunded my latte as I waited but with the ball dropped this hard on my first visit Ill go somewhere where the experience is better.

The barista was incredibly rude. His demeanor was uninviting. I did notice I was the only person of color in the space. So maybe his body language and attitude was letting me know I was not welcomed. Message received👍.A woman ordered her coffee beverage after I placed my order. He decided to complete her order and give it to her before working on mine. When I brought this to his attention, He responded it was only 30 seconds and 30 seconds wasnt very long. The audacity 😾. I would never come back to this place and spend my money. Ive been driving past it for weeks as a drop my child off at school and wanted to stop in and support a small local business. To think I gave him a tip 😠

I live close by and probably dont come here enough, but its always a treat when we do. Im starting to realize that the breakfast burrito is probably the best in the TC but it might be the best Ive ever had anywhere!

My fiancé and I come to Fireroast almost every time we come to the Minneapolis area. The owner is super friendly along with his staff. The food and the drinks are both consistently fantastic. You can tell everything is made from scratch with good ingredients. I have never had a bad experience here, and I can’t wait until the summer months when we can enjoy the weather out on the patio!

This place is great, Ive been twice this weekend and plan to keep up my trend. I love coffee but I Hate strong tasting coffee, sorry Meets :). Fireroast Cafe makes coffee just right for my taste and it doesnt come blistering hot either which I also like. I also have to second Diana in saying the guys that work there are definitely mi clientele! Food or snacks would be a nice option. See you soon Fireroast Cafe!!!

Tasty treats, and enough healthy stuff to make a nice small meal. Cozy environment with lots of wood. Nice place to spend some time.

They have a huge fire pit with super comfortable seating. This place is a must for studying, though for spring and summer I believe the fire is off (obviously).Also, great coffee and friendly staff.Cold weather, come quickly!

I love this place. Its warm and inviting, and they have cozy little alcoves for private conversation.

Recently-discovered & now our go-to spot for lunch or morning coffee when we’re in the Longfellow neighborhood. Delicious food, good selection of beer & wine, very friendly staff, and a very comfortable & relaxing vibe. Highly recommend!

The food is great. The drinks are great. But if you cant walk up two stairs without a railing, then youre outta luck. One star is for how unsatisfying it is to have to stand outside without being able to get in. (Zero stars is for how unsatisfying it is for them to reply to our inquiry about it saying the law only requires a railing for three stairs.)

I just discovered this wonderful cafe yesterday. I live only a few blocks away from the place but did not know it existed until I googled for a coffee shop nearby. I fell in love with the place as soon as I walked in. Its cozy and gets tons of light. My husband & I sat there for almost 5 hours working and really enjoyed the space. The coffee & baked goods were yummy. I havent yet tried anything on the menu yet. The owner did mention that he was trying to start a board games night on Fridays, which sounds exciting.I left feeling very happy and warm because it was such a great space to hang out. Overall, a great find. Ill definitely be back!Update on 1/6/14: the owner contacted me after my review to let me know that they do have GF bread for any of their sandwiches, which is a winner for me. So, it is now a 5 star coffee shop for me :)

I came here for the first time yesterday after finding out that they serve Sebastian Joes ice cream😋😍. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and the creamy wild rice soup. I wasnt super impressed with the sandwich but the soup totally made up for it it was great. This is a super cozy little spot and i will be back definitely.

Love the coffee! The treats are delicious. Have never had a bad experience with the food, drink or service. Usually get my drink to go however I had a business meeting around dinner time and suggested to me here. Many of the tables were reserved for dinner guests and we were just having coffee and dessert. I guess if Im a paying customer, I should be able to sit at a table not shunned to the bar stools, especially for a meeting. Its a coffee shop that is expanding their business. Great, expand your seating so you dont alienate the customers that brought you to this point.

Pretty good coffee and solid lunch spot. Very local, and casual vibes - its a bus-your-own-table type of place. Very cute. ☕️

Fun place right in the middle of the neighborhood. Love the outdoor space. Great coffee and beer and wine available! Delicious sweet treats too.

Ive been here a 3 times now. Great atmosphere inside and outside. Cortado was great, lemonade refreshing and the bacon breakfast sandwich was delicious. Hasnt been crowded when I was there. When I was there in the afternoon I saw many people come in to get ice cream, Im going to have to try one soon. Maybe with a shot of espresso on it.

My wifes latte is always delicious.

Excelent breakfast sandwiches and coffee! Great art work and community vibe.

Great coffee shop! Amazing vibe, chill and hardworking staff, lovely coffee (at a great price,) and great food. This place is a marvelous gem in South Minneapolis. Absolutely love it.

Cozy, and cute neighborhood coffee shop. There was options for drip coffee and it was delicious. Would have been better if there were bagels, but regardless, my friends and I had a great time here.
