This place is great!Really cool staff..Mainly I like it because if you go up on stage to do open mic comedy, why, you get ten bucks in store credit! Even if you do really, really badly, because you got drunk with that ten bucks π I gotta stop with that and actually tell jokes or something next time... π¬Twice is enough.Two out of two times I just got sloppy and started talking nonsense..Youre supposed to do jokes.In my defense, these places just let any maniac walk in off the street to do amateur stand-up.. π
Food was edible, nothing to brag about. I ordered The Loring And my husband ordered the hangover.Floors were filthy dirty especially in the area near the bathroom.Service was friendly.
Wonderful atmosphere, great customer service! Full bar until 2am
The food was made wrong and was COLD!!! Would never go there again or do delivery!!!
As I spoke to a fellow patron, he pointed out the glaring concerns about cleanliness and lack of professionalism from staff. We agreed that staff could be cleaning in their downtime to make the first cafe more welcoming. I just wont be coming back for their food and lack of cleanliness.
Great cold press and muffins
I got a delicious mocha and the staff was super nice!! I cant wait until COVID is over so I can hang out there, the vibe seemed great and very queer friendly π₯°
Coffee, beer, liquor, snacks, food. Its a one stop shop. Need more little gems like this. Great service too!!
Nice and friendly staff and a good place to take a load off...thankyou soo much for being open through these difficult timesππ
A quaint LiL coffee shop...coffee is pretty tasty BUT, I can not call it inexpensive! On the positive side, they are attached to the Nicollet Diner. So you can sit in the coffee shop and Order food as well with your coffee. Also, they have a full bar which A LOT of ppl are attracted to. All in all, it is a nice and quiet little coffee shop if you need a place to chill and do some computer work or read a book.
MOLDY MUFFINS.I ordered a muffin to go from the window this morning and the bottom was clearly moldy. Upon bringing it back to the window, the worker gave me a casual sorry about that. I will not be returning here!
Once again full acceptance of my life and choices. Bartender was happy outgoing attentive and friendly. Kudos to Maisey and The Muffin TOP.....
Good food. Good service and open all the time. What more could you ask for in a neighborhood classic?
Food is great, staff is awesome, atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. No complaints and i will definitely be returning
Great food and customer service. Also a comfortable space.
Worst place I had ever visitedI was standing by the window 9 minutes with very cold weather and no one talk to me π₯Ά
The atmosphere is fun, eclectic, and artsy; however, the radio was so loud I could barely hear myself think. I like finding new coffee shops to study at, and I would not recommend this cafe if that is what you are looking for. The coffee was average, but the prices are good at least! Not terrible, but I probably will not be back.
Very low key, chill place to do some work or grab a drink. The staff is pretty nice too!
Delicious coffee. I think some of the best coffee in the cities. Itβs smooth, vibrant, talkative, and locally roasted! The baked goods are delicious with the coffee.
People who talk ish about this place have only been here once. Dont come when it is packed a expect the best service. Remember food takes awhile to cook please be respectful
Good queue music for take-out
Cozy, comforting, welcoming. I stopped in here on a really rough day, and the staff took excellent care of me. And the coffee is good, too!
Definitely one of my favorite places to chill at night - the Muffin Top has its own selection of pastries, coffees, teas, and liquors but you can also order anything from the 24-hour diner next door. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming and the baristas have usually been very helpful (though they can be drawn into the diners rush, so be prepared to wait a few minutes if thats the case). Theres a shelf with board games and some books if youre into that. The Muffin Top doesnt, however, have its own bathroom - it borrows from the diner for that too. All in all, you get the menu of the all-night diner plus a supply of truly delicious muffins in a very low-key, LGBT-friendly cafe.
Bart was awesome! Good drinks and very helpful.
Super cute little cafe with a full bar and board games!
Open late, great food (homemade chicken and rice soup, salad, BLT, authentic chocolate malt), tap cider, and even better service!
Tasty food. Large servings. Friendly service. I will go again.
I guess I asked too many questions...about coffee...I had two questions and it seemed inconvenient to you... Ill find a place more welcoming to strangers willing to try a place out for the first time... and spend my money there...
Strongest coffee in the world, great muffins fast perfect scrambled eggs, what more do you need first thing in the morning?
The waiter/bartender was friendly. Food was good, big portions.
The guy behind the counter acted like it was a bother to have us there. A smile and being nice goes a long way!
The hot chocolate was the best Ive had in a long time!
Admittedly Ive only been in once and it was a little while ago but I remember this one barista, his name started with a J, anyways he was so busy talking with who we assumed was his boyfriend that I had to try and get his attention 3 times. My group finally just walked out and went to a Starbucks.
Delicious and beautiful drink, very amenable staff! However, not the best place if you are looking for somewhere to sit and work, not really a quiet studious atmosphere.
Incredible.
OMG this is my favorite place to visit the staff is accommodating and they go out there way to make sure you are happy
Service is topnotch and it is what it was made to be, despite all the teardowns on either side, MT is keeping on keeping on...
Always have a great experience. Food and drinks are great as well as the servers.
Great little coffee shop thats attached to The Nicollet Diner! Fun staff, great drinks and serving booze!
Have been in several times. The baristas are very attentive and create wonderfully perfect drinks. Awesome chill atmosphere. Food is very good as well. Prices are good, lower than Spyhouse Cafe. Art work on the walls needs to be replaced.
I asked for a double espresso. I received a watery lungo with no crema. My croissant was too hot -- microwaved? Not a coffee lovers cafe.
Wonderful, friendly staff; great food, great atmosphere.
I would NEVER go back to this place again. The staff is VERY PRECISE and VERY RUDE as HELL!!!! I wouldnt never recommend this place to anyone!!!!!
My search for daily espresso medication RESOLVED!!!! Excellent coffee. Great meeting spot. Impress you prospective clients!@!!
Friendly, good treats but Im always disappointed with the coffee. Its mediocre at best no matter what I try so I switched to an Italian Soda and gave up when the second one I ordered was undrinkable.
Amazing hot chocolate, and theyre always so helpful with hosting small meeting groups be in the main level or the basement.
Not very big, but the barista was very nice. Food was good too.
This and the attached diner isnt always perfect, however I went more when they were new and those problems are probably dealt with by now. I do love that there are a queer owned business and that there an employer of so many people in the community.
Casual and inexpensive espresso drinks. Beer too! Not super friendly to straight guys.
Very Cozy and quite great place to relax and Sip some Tea
Went at 4am Saturday moning. Food was ok, but chocolate shake was good.
Coffee has good flavor, friendly knowledgeable staff, social ambiance.
This place would contribute to my muffin top if I still lived close
Great friendly knowlageble staff ... Great coffee nice atmosphere oh ya and in house made muffins and pastries...plus the owners rock!!And you can now order at the coffee shop from the diner next door and have it brought to you by the waiters and waitresses!! And now serving liquors!!
I have been there several times and each time the staff were so nice and the coffee was great!
Pretty good diner food at a reasonable price!
Easily the biggest pancake Ive ever seen!
The service and staff has gotten better, I love the mattles
As a stand alone or as an addition to nicollet diner this place rocks.
Good coffee. Nice place to work.
Kind service and great hot tea
Muffin top has everything the adjacent restaurant has + large tables for groups of people who either study together or play table top games that overflow from Mead Hall gameing store plus wifi and tv too
Great breakfast dinner wwith awesome shakes!!!
Very lgbt-friendly and great drinks! check out the diner too :)
A very friendly staff with good enough smoothies.
I come here all the time. Great place.
The quiet ambiance of the atmosphere makes for a friendly environment. The menu variety caters to all tastes. Although the price range is a bit spendy, the portions are more than sufficient !
Great Friendly Service...Great Food!
Pretty good coffee, nice service.
Bart the barista is good company!
