Dogwood Coffee Bar // Minneapolis

Dogwood Coffee Bar
3001 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55408
Would I go back? Yes

     There is no question that Dogwood coffee is among the best around. It is served in many of my favorite coffee shops in the Minneapolis area. If you want quality beans for your personal cup of joe at home, buy Dogwood coffee. There's something about the roast I can't put my finger on, I just know the coffee is prime. And the other drinks (such as the latte pictured) are delicious as well. I was very excited to visit the coffee bar that carries such a namesake brand. The shop is almost more exciting to me than the coffee itself. Atmosphere is key. The Dogwood style came through very well and whoever designed the special touches they have is very talented. I enjoy the style very much, but the location is left to be desired. I personally don't like where they chose to house this incredible coffee. Its in the middle of the shopping on Hennepin Ave and is open to the rest of the indoor shopping. To me, this makes any shop lose its charm. Its like a bank that is housed in a grocery store -- the personal feeling is lost. Although dogwood did a good job making the space their own, I still can't get over the fact that its not a full store. I would go back again for the coffee, but next time I want a good place to read or study, I will not be choosing this location. 

May your coffee be caffeinated,
