Peace Coffee – 3262 Minnehaha Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55406

• It opens at 6:30 a.m. and closes at 8.00 p.m. on weekdays.
• Peace coffee is super bright and colorful with a lot of natural sunlight, making it a very fun and lively place.
• They had a great BOGO deal on the espresso drinks and they sell Patisserie 46 pastries.
• Would be a really fun place to do homework, especially with friends!

Vicinity Coffee – 3350 Lyndale Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55408 and 4301 Nicollet Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55409

• There are two Vicinity coffees near the Upper School. One is located on Lyndale ave south and the other is located on Nicollet Ave.
• There are plenty of tables and room to do work, but there is also a cozy little corner with plush and comfy leather chairs.
• Vicinity has some really cool and unique drink options. One of their bestsellers is “Shot in the Nutz,” a Nutella Latte.
• Overall both are quieter spaces, making them better for individual work.

Five Watt Kingfield – 3745 Nicollet Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55409

• There are two Five Watt locations. The one on Nicollet opens at 6:00 a.m. and closes at 10:00 p.m. Perfect for early birds and late night busy beavers.
• Ironically, “The Busy Beaver” is one of Five Watt’s specialty drinks. It has molasses, maple syrup, cinnamon and cracked pepper. 
• Five Watt is a bit louder than Vicinity. It is better for group work, but not great if you get distracted easily. They have a wide bar facing the window overlooking Nicollet Ave.
• If you want something sweet and delightful to accompany your coffee, they also sell Patisserie 46 pastries!
