I have been an avid coffee lover for years. This past summer, I took a step and starting up a coffee blog this past July. After a few months, I have created a list of my top five favorite coffee shops to grab a latte at in the Twin Cities. Check them out below and give them a try during the upcoming cold winter!

1. Spyhouse Coffee Roasters

2. Cafe Astoria

Cafe Astoria, located in St. Paul, is probably the most "artsy" coffee shop I have ever stepped foot into. Yes, it has an adorable layout, but their drinks are beautiful! Pictured above is the 24K latte which is not only super "Insta-worthy" but delicious! They have many other beautiful drinks, but this one has to be my favorite.

3. Urban Bean Coffee

Urban Bean has two locations in Minneapolis, MN. Both of them are very aesthetically pleasing and of course, have delicious coffee. I usually stick to a vanilla latte (pictured above) when I come here because it is to die for! Also, their latte art is always so clean and beautiful!

4. Anelace Coffee

Anelace Coffee is located in Northeast Minneapolis. It is super cute inside and has some plants and fun books to look at. The seating is also nice because it is a long black bench that goes down the wall in the shop. It also is a great place to get some homework done because it isn't ever too loud and there are many outlets.

I have noticed that Anelace has seasonal drinks and I am always a little nervous to try one because they are sometimes a bit out there, but I promise they all end up being super delicious!

5. Claddagh Coffee

I discovered Claddagh Coffee in Saint Paul on a lunch break this past summer. The shop has a super cute Irish vibe to it, and the coffee is, of course, great as well. When I go to Clauddagh Coffee, I usually get their specialty drink called the "Salty Dog" which is made with espresso, caramel, chocolate, sea salt, and steamed milk. It is such a great afternoon treat!
