Groundswell - St Paul

They have oat milk! Also their vegan food items are pretty good. I don’t really go there for food but it’s always nice to know you can grab a bite if you get hungry mid study session

There's only two vegan options during brunch, so I wouldn't recommend it if you want a ton of variety. However, the food is great and the coffee is locally sourced!

I've hardly been out to true coffee shops since the pandemic began, and I've only started ordering cappuccinos again the past few weeks. I love cappuccinos. But I want a high quality, traditional cap if I'm going to spend the time and money to drink one. I only order caps from places I've been before and trust their baristas' ability to create micro foam on demand. Some other shops' have been disappointing or underwhelming, but This One is exactly what I want from a (wet) cappuccino. Thanks, Groundswell

Great place for groups or solo. Awesome breakfast food with plenty of nice-looking bakery items and coffee available. Very clean with a vibe that skews younger. Can get busy and full inside, but there is outdoor seating when it's not freezing. Only saw streetside parking, so you may have to walk a block.

The biscuits and gravy are delicious! My husband ordered the banana bread french toast, which was also scrumptious. You can get it with or without chocolate ganache. The chairs aren't super comfortable and they have very limited outside seating,which is why I'm not giving it 5 stars. The food, coffee and tea are delicious. It's a great local spot, and we love local.
