Sara Peterson

Best coffee shop in St Paul. With the $5 credit card minimum , if i know I'll be spending time I just start a tab and can get a few cups of tea or coffee . Also, Evening in Missoula tea is the best!

Jerod Petersen

Really great atmosphere! Space can be limited, so be considerate and share with others :) Start a punch card...you'll by back!

Arthur Chang

One of my absolute favorites. Lots of space to hangout and work, great lighting, fantastic food. They have a locally grown mint mocha that's fantastic. Service is great too. Fun neighborhood .

Javen Swanson

It's super busy every time I visit and can be hard to find seating. Also, $5 minimum is requested for credit card purchases--difficult of you just want coffee and don't have cash. Great place though!

Joanna Flamm

Great neighborhood coffee shop in a gorgeous space. If you're lucky you can grab the one table up on the tiny balcony .

Naomi Orre

Mmm. Such a neat and delicious - of course! - coffee shop . Even better, it's local. Get a coffee punch card! Friendly staff as well .

Danami

So many beautiful people walk through these doors. Find a spot and spark a conversation. You get a new friend or date for this Wednesday.

Jill McGillicuddy

The chairs at the top of the stairs are the bests seats in the house! Great for people watching , reading, knitting, chatting...

John Fournelle

Ellery Luse

Best cafe in St. Paul. Amazing location right off of the historic brownstones of Selby Ave. The service is great. Choose your time wisely, it can be hard to find a table. Read more

Angie Spleiss

Friendly and inviting. Great beverages but terrible food. Every time I've tried food there it never fails to disappoint. I suggest grabbing a bite down the street at the Happy Gnome.

Erica Dao

The oatmeal . Seriously. Still thinking about it a month later. So good. Get it.

McLean Donnelly

If the coffee shop seating is full, there's seating in the book store downstairs. Wi Fi works down there too!

Stephanie Polus

The cardamom cookies are SO GOOD. Sugar and spice and everything nice!

Kristy Heller

Pulled pork sandwich with a side of sour cream .. And a medium breve with almond . Yum!

Lexa

Zoë Friberg

Best chai I've ever had - good breakfast sandwiches too

Short walk from state Capitol. Nice antidote to the politics. Bookstore downstairs

Stefanie Welter

The chicken salad croissant is wayyyyyy delicious! I don't know what they do, but I'm in love with it

Macey Meyer

Aztec Panini will hit the spot if you're needing a scrumptious pick me up

Grace Bailey

Best chai in the Twin Cities .

Eric Cannedy

Their sandwiches are so delicious, and the staff is awesome. Love this place so much.

Nathan Matson

The fact that I see the same people here every day signals nina's neighborhood importance. Also friendliest staff in town .

Viajecitos

Great atmosphere

Jered Weber

The slow cooked oatmeal is amazing.

Don Ball

Fresh biscotti ! Try the apricot and cherry if you like cardamom .

Martha McCarthy

I highly recommend the hot lava panini ! YUM.

Rachel Kolias

Get a cafe vienna with vanilla soy and try it iced on a hot day!

Darshy N

you're enjoying a piece of historic Saint Paul.Fitzgerald is rumored to have lived a few blocks near Nina's.

Katty

Not what it used to be. Fresh food is gone, replaced with pre-made, overpriced stuff. Prices are outrageous - $10.50 for a small drip coffee and a yogurt parfait . Wi-fi doesn't work. Shabby interior.

Katlyn Hovland

Try the armaretto flavoring in your latte , delicious!!

Erin Busby

Best chai in town . Nutmeg and cinnamon , always.

Mae McKinley

Awful place to work and overpriced. I paid $3 for a mug of tea . Also, the internet is so very slow and there is a severe lack of outlets. Will not be returning.

studioL

I like this place & have for years but it's time for a face-lift: the interior is drab & uninspired.

Cj Anderson

Get a chocolate chip cookie and a white chocolate mocha..heaven in your mouth

Jenna Kornberg

Iced Thai coffee . Heaven in a glass.

SchaOn Blodgett

Wrong prices on menu board (they said the owner doesn't want to spend the money to the correct prices on menu) & over charging customers for add-ons that are part of what you order! Won't go back now.

Liz Lanari

Chai is so good.

Jen K

Excellent Mocha !!

Angie Elliott

You can pick up to 4 things on the breakfast sammie-they prefer just not two meats.

Carolyn

Order a vanilla soy chai . It's like Christmas in a cup.

Erik Berger

The donuts are superb, the ginger beer (ginger remonade) is not so good.

Megan Schloss

Cinnamon chai latte .. perfect.

G. Sax

Bring your own coffee mug. They'll fill it for you. Save a cup, just like they make a point to use washable spoons instead of stirring straws or sticks.

Kristy Heller

Their sandwiches are incredible.

Erica Dao

Best chai in town .

Terry Houle

Coffee and salad after meeting in Sen. Franken's office .

Joseph Alton

Get the Tuna Salad on wheat.

Jacqueline Lombard
