Very cool little coffee shop, friendliest in Rochester. Comfy chairs and typical tables and chairs. Toy corner for small kids. Lots of Catholic meets coffee puns.

Awesome spot, and the best coffee j can remember having anywhere!

St. James Coffee is always full of activity, but never too loud to get work done. Customers are always greeted with a smiling face, and their volunteer baristas make better drinks than other chain coffee shops (cause theyre made with love)! Truly unique experience.

Friendly coffee shop. Nice place to go.

Theres an old idea thats been floating around for a while that sparked the idea of an American Shopping Mall. This idea was called a Third Place, a space separate from Work and Home where consumers can feel comfortable and send time with one another. Specifically, a space without the responsibility of cleaning or prepping a time in the home, and without the pressure of work tasks splitting peoples attention and priorities. Nowadays, this role is not filled by the dying outlet mall but the thriving coffee shop industry.St. James is a Catholic coffee shop and they beautifully display this without shame. I would absolutely recommend this as a STAPLE Rochester, MN Third Place for its loving and friendly patrons and staff. One can also volunteer there if they so please, which makes for a great early work experience!Wonderful place 👍👍👍

My husband would rave about the coffee here and would always stop whenever he was in town. I have to say that now I understand why! The coffee and service is amazing and the atmosphere is so welcoming. This is now one of my favourite coffee places.

Wonderful volunteer run coffee shop. Great coffee and there are lots of non coffee options as well. A great place to come and stay for an hour. Lots of great events and concerts on Saturday nights.

I love the names of the drinks, the atmosphere, the music, the friendly service, the mission, and best of all... you can sit in Adoration when youre there. They do a great job of posting Catholic events around Rochester as well which is great! St James, Pray for us!

Such a great place to meet new people. Everyone is so friendly. The atmosphere is wonderful. And the chapel is gorgeous!

Awesome coffee. Friendly, humorous service and great music. Their Saturday nights concert series is a great time to get some great coffee and listen to talented musicians.

Great atmosphere and drinks! It was so cool to find this place by chance when searching for a cozy coffee shop to meet up with a friend. It was nice to relax and enjoy the company while in an inviting and Christian environment. They even have a little chapel room!

The most unique coffee shop in Rochester! Great atmosphere and the only public place to dig into a good theology discussion with anyone. Lots of small groups and discussions hosted here.

Great place to meet friends. The Tanzanian light roast was done right.

Great place to sit and work. Very clean, quiet and overall good drinks.

Amazing! The St. Ter-Reeses frappe is praise-Jesus good! I like to stop in after going to the chiropractor next door. The staff here are always friendly, and the ambience is pleasant. Much of what is done goes back to the community. Highly recommend.
