Bordertown Coffee

This is one of the coziest spots in Dinkytown, especially when they get a fire going in the winter. The people working there are wonderful and cool, and the matcha there is the best I’ve ever had. If you’re lucky enough to catch it, grab the chocolate chip espresso scone that they occasionally have on top of the display case. That, or the white chocolate lavender matcha muffin. I know there’s not a ton of space to sit, but it’s easy to come in early some days and curl up in one of the shop’s nooks or crannies and read. The best thing about this place has to be the people. Friendly, goofy, and kind, they’ll not often make a mistake but if they do they’re willing and happy to fix it. I might be biased, but I really like this coffee shop.

First time finding this spot in the U of M area. If you’re not paying attention you could miss it. Cute little spot if you want to get a bite to eat with friends or need a quiet place to study. Don’t come here if you’re in a rush. Each drunk is prepared with great care and detail. I tried their Golden Latte. They have quite a few pastries I look forward to trying in the future.

Beautiful, rustic, and inviting. This coffee shop is not in some corporate building but rather a renovated old frat house! It has multiple floors, and instead of just one big room like most places, it’s literally a house. You just walk around to the room that’s most cozy to you. It’s more of a closed environment which is unique to most coffee places. The prices are quite economical compared to the surrounding competition. My tomato soup was $3. There are even seasonal and “special” drinks.
