I received poor service from the employee. Was short and rude. This is not recommended. Even the food tastes bland.

Great coffee, halted by here for my 2nd time on Friday. I was trusting the benefit would be better. Bad client service, the clients support the shop. There's never a reason to be inconsiderate, contend, or be chafed by a paying client. Particularly, On the off chance that YOU ARE A WORKER AND NOT THE OWNER.

What Others Are Saying
There is no doubt that they have great coffee there. Additionally, I like the atmosphere, vibe, and aesthetic, as well as the fact that they use compostable materials. However, I've felt underwhelmed by their customer service during the few times I've been there. There were recently no oat or soy milks, which was a puzzle to me -- no explanation was offered by the staff. A sleepy, quiet coffee shop. This isn't the place to go if you need service that's super quick.

Keeping Communities Amplified
Five Watt Coffee was founded by Lee Carter and Caleb Garn in 2014. With similar coffee philosophies, it was only time before they got together to start Five Watt Coffee. Caleb works closely with our General Managers, and Lee oversees the beverage program alongside the Lead Baristas. Our baristas to get to know everyone that stops by the shop. Don't be surprised if we know your name, remember your regular drink order, or dish out high-fives across the bar. Coffee is about connecting people.
What Others Are Saying
The coffee cocktail menu at Five Watt Coffee is awesome. The location has a pretty cool interior (as well as an Amazon locker, if you want to use that AND get good coffee). Latte with milk switched to oat milk that is cheaper than other places. The coffee cocktail I had was cold brew coffee sweetened/flavored with local root beer syrup. I thought it was amazing. There were so many unique options that it was difficult to choose a drink! The young man working at the cafe was also very kind.

An excellent coffee spot where you can choose a very limited option but excellent pastry. Outdoor seats, the area is a bit busy and noisy, but it's still a good place.

Coffee that is good. My first time in this place. Parking can be awkward if you are busy. We visited at the perfect time, parking and seating are easy. Everything coffee we ordered was great. Though the staff seemed to be more on commands rather than engaging with customers.

The inside is super bright and cozy. It's nice to talk to baristas who offer free alternative milk! Although expensive, drinks are definitely worth the price. A good sanitizing system and lots of tables provide social distancing.

It was my first time eating here - tried the spinach/feta pastry (amazing!) and the Mariachi (a take on the Mexican mocha, I loved the hint of spice).
The cafeteria is clean, spacious, and wheelchair accessible.
Those curious about the roastery can see it from the cafe!

Weekend brunch was enjoyed here. I enjoyed the food very much! There could have been a couple of umbrellas near the outdoor seating since it is outdoor. We both got a nice tan. :) My favorite is the lavender latte!

Coffee will give you!
In The Loop Coffee Company is owned by us, Bill and Marisa Thom. We are two people who absolutely, positively love coffee...and it's not just the flavor experience of a perfect shot of espresso that gets our motors running. It's also the memories that this incomparable beverage of coffee can conjure. Coffee is part of our culture, and so it seemed inevitable that one day we would open our own coffee shop and create the perfect environment for more experiences to be shared and enjoyed.

If you don't look for it, you might miss this cute little shop. Throughout the cafe, there are pictures of local pups on the walls and they are extremely dog friendly. Besides the reasonable prices, the staff makes you feel like they know you. My only complaint is that their food is good, but not surprising. If you need a meal, move to another location. Otherwise, they are pretty quiet in good places to play compared to many other places in their neighbors.

We’re Not Really Angry
Angry Catfish was cultivated by the vibrant Minneapolis bicycle culture that lives on the streets, dirt, gravel, and snow that surround us. We are a collective of individuals with a like mind - bicycles are an amazing form of transportation, recreation, and fitness. And when you add fantastic coffee, well, all the better. Stop in and ask us where we’ve been or where we are going. We’re really not all that angry.
What Others Are Saying
My experience with the service department has always been positive. Communication, thoroughness, and friendliness. Although there are several locally-owned shops closer to me, they went above and beyond what I expected today and ensured that I would continue to support this shop. A nice selection of products is available on the sales floor and sales personnel have knowledge of the products. Highly recommended.
