Mars Cafe

Great coffee & tea . Staff could've been a bit more knowledgeable about their products but barista was friendly . Lots of students, lots of laptops but a chill spot to get some work done or hang out.

I come 3 times a year, I'm from Chicago and absolutely love this place!!! Great atmosphere, great ppl, and more importantly the coffee is out if this world!! The ppl that work here are very friendly !!

Such a cute and quirky atmosphere to get work done. If you like to be productive in a fun environment I recommend getting a cup of joe at Mars. They also have great music !

Consistently good coffee . Two different baristas with similar outcomes. Also has some good local beer . Chill atmosphere. Best in the area for coffee that I have found.

Seriously solid espresso drinks , chai 's a bit sweet for my tastes, but a great, well-lit work spot w/ lots o' outlets

If you are looking for a hot drink try Sputnik or for an Iced coffee try the Coconut Almond Mocha ...... delicious! Read more

Friday nights are usually not as crowded . Great date place or fun area to people watch a read a book . Never a dull moment of unfriendly barista at this coffee house !

Get the Bacon & Egg Panini ! It's literally from outer-space (yes, it's that good)! Throw some cheddar cheese on that panini for added deliciousness! Also, the coffee is worth mentioning, it's good.

Mars Cafe is my favorite DSM shop for high-quality, espresso-based drinks. Convenient location off the interstate for a quick cup.

Best all-around spot for coffee http://dmreg.com/acPvhR Mars Cafe is a hub of cultural activity in Drake’s Dogtown neighborhood . Besides great coffee , they have beer and occasional live music . Read more

Maybe the best place by Drake. Huge place, lots of energy, but super authentic with good service and food

Everything is great here from the tarts , to the paninis , to the hot chocolate with cream leaf designs. Ignore Starbucks for an always great experience.

Nice vibe to sit and work or meet up with friends. Definitely a great local place.

Great locally roasted 3rd wave coffee ! Great staff too.

Had been treated very kind for my 1st time here. I purchased a Cosmo it's a light tasting Carmel latte very delicious

Great coffee , kind employees, and very nice atmosphere. This is my first and definitely not last time coming here.

Try their Chemex for Two. Also, all of the coffe is from Intelligentsia so you know you are getting the best coffee in town .

Try weekend brunch every Saturday and Sunday 9-1: French Toast w/La Mie Bakery 's sweet Challah and poached egg breakfast sandwiches on fresh ciabatta .

Challenge your friends to Connect 4 or Risk while you sip a hot or cold drink -- or grab a sandwich , bakery item or piece of fruit to go.

I always see friends, creative types, professionals, and meet new people every single time I come here. Pull up your computer, use the WiFi and take breaks talkin to those around you in this cool café

Happy hour 4-6pm every day, $2 beer and $5 wine . Interesting mix of beer too. Leinenkugels, Grain Belt, Pabst, Millstream among others.

Yep. The V60 is worth the extra buck. Don't worry first timers, the current 4sq special covers it. Won't disappoint.

The Strawberry Mango Smoothie is a perfect choice especially for a first time visit.

Pourover coffee in v60 or chemex !

Lost my Chemex virginity today. It's so smooth. I like the new coffee roast from Guatamala as well . Nicely done!

Great cafe . Whenever I'm back in town to visit my family, I always make sure to save a moment to relax with a book here.

I'm brand new to town and this place is a must for coffee ! I will definitely go back for $1 iced coffee ! Love it!

They have moved to using Square for transactions. Make sure you have a debit or credit card to order.

Great service, good coffee and tea !

Talk to the staff ; they're pretty cool, just like you. :)

Try the Bacon Turkey Panini and enjoy a refreshing Sparkling Grapefruit Izze. The sweet and tangy if the two make for a wonderful experience.

You can generally get any of the cold sandwiches prepared hot. A perfect way to stay warm.

Get an ice cream sundae to go with your latte . The nice baristas will even bring it to your table for you.

Ask for the lucky Chai . It's not on the menu but they will make it for you. (it's chai w/ Irish Crème)

Get the expresso shake add flavoring syrup , yummy and filling :-)

You can't not love this place. I've been coming here since I was a freshman and the food and service never disappoints.

A 750ml bottle of San Pelegrino Sparkling Water is $2.50 plus tax. Its an excellent value and a great follow up to a cup of coffee when you are working.
