An oasis of beautiful gardens and beautiful views , Swede Hollow, the coffee shop , sits on the east side of St. Paul and offers many joys to those who venture into this overlooked part of town . Read more

Best mochas/lattes I've ever tried! Also, the quiche and breakfast sandwiches are heavenly! The bakery items will have to wait until next time, but they looked very fresh and were hard to pass up!

I love the mocha . Saturday food items can be ordered without the sides, though they don't make that easy to know. But with sides that good, why would you go a la carte?

The mocha is a velvety mugful of house-made chocolate , espresso , and milk with a little chocolate bar balanced on the brim. Also, don’t miss the caramel roll . Warmed, of course. Read more

I got a box lunch to go and it was yummy. Roast beef and provolone , pesto spread, toasted ciabatta . Chips , pickle , shortbread . All yummy.

Delightfully gooey, cinnamon-scented, nut-encrusted cinnamon rolls for the kids - then let them play by the fountain while you slurp ginormous cups of coffee .

You can't get anything bad here, but I've been stuck on quiches and cobblers for brunch for a while now. Also, cubano is the way to go (w/ that piece of dark chocolate )

Any of their sandwiches can be made on gluten-free bread . Hooray!

The self-proclaimed best mocha in the Twin Cities , MN. Close spot to campus for coffee & food, but they fill up early and often!

Delicious scones . My favorite is ham & cheese , but nothing beats buttermilk with coffee !

Love the miel- espresso , honey , and steamed milk ????

Delicious quiche and coffee . The buttermilk biscuits are good too.

The little piece of chocolate that comes with the mocha is seriously the best chocolate ever.

The tomato black bean soup was delicious and spicy .

Best white chocolate mocha in the metro! But crappy hours they're only open from like 11am-3pm mon thru thurs or something like that

Get the Cubano. So delicious! Also try the Gorgonzola salad .

Holy cow, get the breakfast sandwich . Yum!!

Super friendly folk - gave me a scone on the house when I showed up late in the day!

Great cappuccino and caramel rolls ! Yum!

The cubano was perfection.

Their iced mocha is delicious!!!!!

Coffee scones

Nothing like sitting on the patio with quiche !

Enjoy the terraced garden seating in the full bloom of spring!

The espresso here is terrible and the pastries mediocre. I can't speak to the quality of the food, but I'm perplexed this place is rated #1 for coffee in St Paul.

They really do have the best hot mocha around. Try it soon.

Someone posted a tip that their hours are crappy. It is true they are closed Sundays but they open at 6:30am m-f

Dayton's Bluff. Best place to waste away a morning with the locals getting caffeinated and gobbling quiches , cinnamon rolls and cobblers , oh my!

You can't get your card punched if you get iced tea , so plan accordingly.

Amazing chai latte !

Good dark roast

Loved the chocolate peppermint tea

The Cubano.

Sweed makes the best cobbler ! They make it fresh, in house, around 10:00am

Get the caramel roll . Yum.

Seriously the best caramel rolls in town !

try the scones - my favorite in the city .

blueberry cobbler

Cubano, all the way home.
