Black Coffee and Waffle Bar
1500 Como Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414
Would I go back? Definitely
So…big surprise, I actually haven't been to all the coffee shops around the University of Minnesota. I know I know. If you know me you might be shocked. But there are still more to experience! I recently went on a Saturday morning adventure to Black Coffee and Waffle Bar in the Como neighborhood with a couple friends to study and drink delicious coffee. I found myself wanting to stare at the awesome store and people watch instead of do my homework, but nonetheless it was successful. This place is awesome. A gem I wish I had found last year! First of all, they serve Dogwood Coffee -- basically the best coffee you've ever put on your tastebuds. So naturally I went for a classic cup of black coffee and I couldn't have been happier. And as a bonus, my friend got a waffle, so I got to try an incredible bite of food. This waffle was the weekend special and was pretty much pumpkin cheesecake and caramel on top of a waffle. How could you go wrong there? It was awesome.
The design and feel of this place is great. Very hipster, but comfortable as well. It's a little more like a restaurant than a coffee shop (at least in the mornings) because of the menu they serve, but its still a great place to study or hang out and have coffee. I still can't believe I get to live in an area that has such great places like this one and I'm definitely going back soon! So, if you live near the University of Minnesota (or, seriously if you don't) you need to try this gem.
May your coffee be caffeinated,
