10 Coffee Shops In Minneapolis You'll Instantly Fall In Love With

Minnesota may be the land of 10,000 lakes, but I like to think of it as the land of 10,000 coffee shops. In Minneapolis, it seems as though you can find a different coffee shop around every corner. The city has its fair share of Caribous and Starbucks', of which no city is complete without, but if you're looking to change it up a bit, the city has you covered. Even if you're a hardcore Starbucks lover, I guarantee you won't feel like you're betraying the queen of coffee when you fall in love with these 10 coffee shops in Minneapolis.

1. Spyhouse Coffee

With four locations in the Minneapolis area, Spyhouse’s passion is to source, roast, brew and serve the customer an exceptional coffee while educating them on the process from origin to consumption.

2. Urban Bean Coffee

Need to slow down and relax? Head over to Urban Bean Coffee, where they believe coffee isn’t about speed. To Urban Bean, coffee is a craft that brings people together. They’re dedicated to preparing coffee the right way and making it accessible to everyone.

3. Vicinity Coffee

To ensure you get the freshest beans around, Vicinity Coffee roasts their coffee locally and in small batches. They’ve been cultivating community through specialty coffee in two locations since 2011.

4. Mapps Coffee

Located in Minneapolis’ West Bank neighborhood of the University of Minnesota, Mapps Coffee aims to bring a worldly atmosphere and ambiance to the U of M campus. Mapps prides itself on its quality, environmentally conscious coffee that is directly traded with farmers in California.

5. UP Coffee Roasters

The name of this coffee shop is more than what meets the eye. The UP name challenges everyone to move on, go forward, think bigger and wake up. UP ultimately aims to bring real value to those they serve every day through the common link of coffee.

6. Isles Bun & Coffee

If you’re looking for a delicious pastry to go with your morning coffee, then Isles Bun & Coffee is the place for you. All of their goodies are made from scratch with fresh ingredients on the daily. Getcha hot buns and rolls here, sugar!

7. Five Watt Coffee

This coffee shop roasts and serves their own coffee, and is designed to meet everyone’s coffee needs. The founders are two energetic coffee-enthusiasts, unicorn hoarders, high-fivers and music geeks. They want to make your coffee, and if that’s not reason enough to go, they claim to have the best Wi-Fi in town.

8. Peace Coffee

Peace Coffee was born out of late-night conversations between their parent organization and a group of Mexican farmers. They have two Minneapolis locations and are eager to continue coffee's centuries-old tradition as a centerpiece of conversation and community.

9. Caffetto Coffee House

While serving up specialty coffee, tea and food, Caffetto Coffee House features rotating exhibits from local artists. Go to sip coffee and work, or wander upstairs to play board games or downstairs to play pinball and ping pong.

10. The Purple Onion Café

Whether you're looking for a place to study, in the mood for a delicious meal or pastry or simply want to enjoy a fresh cup of joe, The Purple Onion Café (or Poinion, for short) has everything you need!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
