Cute little coffee shop, I love the eclectic vibe, owner and staff are friendly, great coffee! I would love an explanation on why you charge $2 for heavy cream: Whats special about this cream?

Iced espresso was so good! Note that location had not served food in three year as of Aug 2024. There are some simple baked goods available like cookies, bars and muffins but no breakfast sandwiches like older reviews mention.

Such a gem! They have very unique coffee drinks. My current favorite is the Pure Bliss, although the Wizard is also amazing. Hot or iced, the drinks do not disappoint. There is a cute book store upstairs, and the overall decor and atmosphere are great. I love that people can leave notes in the walls as well!

My favorite local coffee shop. The menu is simple but scrumptious. In-house made dishes that exceed expectations. Try the breakfast sandwich, fluffyest dang eggs Ive ever seen. This time I tried the Turtle coffee, and it was fabulous. Staff is friendly, hard working, and efficient. Also, a place that cares about the community. They have a free coffee option if you are on hard times. Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly menu, coloring.

This place is the perfect vibe for anyone! Inclusive and environmentally friendly. Sad to see they are struggling a little with the high costs of everything. Support this business if you can -- they deserve it!! Food and coffee was delicious!

I took my mom out to eat here. And the food was beyond amazing, my mom got a breakfast burrito and I got the french toast. The coffee is really good as well. My mom got a husky and I got a baby Leo. The blueberry in the baby Leo is not overpowering but just a hint of blueberry. If youre looking for a cozy cafe to get some coffee and food this is the place.

Its not often when you find a place that offers amazing coffee, great food, with owners who care about their customers more than their profits. When in Andover Mn stop in and say hi, grab a coffee and a snack, I highly recommended it.

There are not enough words to describe how much I love it here. The food is outstanding (tbh, I was a little surprised at *how* good it was for a coffee shop), the coffee is roasted in store and fabulous, and the staff is authentically and unapologetically themselves in everyway. As a consumer, I have deep respect for a business that is capable of standing for something. They are actively working towards a more liberated future and I am here to support it!

This is a great woman-owned business, that aside from brewing amazing coffee, supports local artists and creates a safe place for LGBTQI+. Amber, the owner, really knows her coffee and is passionate about it. She sources raw beans from Colombia, Brazil, Guatemala, Sumatra, and Ethiopia (supporting other women-owned businesses), creates her own signature blends, and roasts the beans on-site. One of the best coffees I ve had in the Twin Cities metro!

Metta Coffee is by far the best Coffee Cafe to stop at! Dont waste your money at Starbucks or Caribou. My favorite is the Blended Wizard Latte and it is so smooth and it always satisfies my need for a cool drink on a warm day! I love Metta!

My spouse had an ice turtle mocha and he said the syrup they used was really good - didnt have the strange artificial taste that you can sometimes get. I had a breve and Ive had straight espresso before - so well rounded with good intensity and no bitterness. So glad theres a quality locally owned option.

Best Cinnamon roll in the world according to my 9 year old. Delicious bakery items. I thoroughly enjoyed my Cinne-Minne drink of the month. I would be happy if it stayed on the menu. Nice little patio area, lovely inside seating area with original photos & artwork. Drive through is a nice bonus. Definately a nice slice of the city up in the burbs.

If you don t have a favorite Grilled Cheese place, head over to Metta Coffee Cafe in Andover! Obviously they have coffee and I ordered a banana bread specialty drink with a Make-Your-Own Grilled Cheese... Mine had cheddar, mozzarella, smoked gouda, garlic butter, and pesto mayo... OMG... melty goodness And yes, that IS a caramel roll next to my side salad. I like to think they cancel each other out.

The espresso here is smooth and flavorful. The drinks are so yummy, and the iced caramel cookie was perfect for a warm day. Customer service was really good felt like coming home. The woman who runs this place with her daughter is intelligent, has a clear vision, and is moving forward with a really solid team. Happy to see this place back :)
