Blackwater Coffee & Cafe Minneapolis 100 South 5th Street skyway level, Minneapolis, MN 55402

"UPDATE: I’ve been to this Minneapolis location a few times now and they are often very busy, but there is almost no wait. They are so efficient and kind. Sara is the manager and she is AMAZING. She is often behind the counter, supporting her team, and making food and drinks. She always has a friendly smile and is so warm she makes you feel like you’re an old friend. She is the soul and backbone of this place and undoubtedly deserves a raise. They are LUCKY to have her! This place is great! I’ve been to the Maple Plaine location a few times and was excited about their two new locations. The coffee and food were delicious and the people working were even better. Highly recommend!"

"Loved visiting here! The baristas were so nice and made it such a nice vibe to be there!"

"Great drinks and staff! Awesome addition to downtown!"

"Black Cheese Tea is awesome; they use good quality cream cheese which is kind of hard to find in a lot of cafés. Honey Matcha Cloud is all right: definitely the honey bursting pearls add a necessary oomph to the drink, otherwise it wouldn’t be my choice. BLT isn’t anything to write home about, I’d recommend something else but I haven’t tried their other meals yet. Vibes and service are great, nice place to hang out, relax, do work. I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu."

"This cafe just opened this week. They have very good coffee - I had the house blend. And I came back later in the day to try the margherita flatbread pizza. It was also good. They have a fairly extensive sandwich and salad menu, something for everyone. They are new, so I urge downtown Minneapolis workers to come check them out. It's good to have more coffee and dining places in downtown!"
