I love Momo cafe. Thank GOD this is in NE mpls. Best consistent coffee and service for cafes. Never misses, always hits. Good place to work and good vibes too, just too small! But 10/10 recommend always. I love that they use Peace coffee and love their Iced Ube Matcha drink! Oh, and their pastries are pretty good too.

Momo cafe is so lovely!!!! The vibes of this place are immaculate. I love how much culture is presented here with Tibetan and Asian representation. Although I'm not Tibetan, I'm so happy to see a Tibetan cafe in Minnesota!! It's so rare to come across places that are Tibetan so I absolutely love having a place to come thats in the cities. I ordered a brown butter donut and what!!!!!!!! It looks *almost* as good as it tastes! So good. I ordered a salted caramel iced latte and YUM!!!! So delish! Their flavors are so great and not too sweet! I can still get the taste of the espresso and all of the rich flavors. Gabriella made my drink & they were so sweet!!!! Amazing customer service and my drink came out SO fast! Great fantastic amazing awesome barista that deserves $100/hr raise. The staff here seems so kind and genuine! Will absolutely be coming back!

Great neighborhood spot for unique drinks that aren't at most coffee shops. Warm, cozy vibes different from the usual white, sanitized look of newer coffee shops. Hojicha latte was great, and will be back to try more drinks and food!

If this spot was closer to me, I would definitely be a regular here. My mom and I were doing a grocery run and had wanted to grab a quick bite. So that's how we found Momo Cafe! When we entered we loved how cozy and relaxed the cafe was. There were people studying or causally meeting up so it was a welcoming feel. We decided to try their Almond Danish, Mixed Momos (4 Beef + 3 Veggie), an Ube White Mocha Latte and a Pistachio Rose Latte. My personal favorite was the almond danish which had a buttery flaky bite to it. As for the lattes, the ube was sweeter in comparison to the pistachio. Next time I would definitely go for the ube as it was the perfect sweetness for me. :) The momos where great and are best hot! Overall, a lovely experience and I would definitely bring more friends to introduce it to them!

This was my first visit here - because my normal neighborhood coffee shop doesn’t open until 8 am and Momo opens earlier. Immediate first impressions: 1) Comfort 2) Clean 3) Style - this is not a sterile coffee shop 4) Friendly service 5) Affordable - less than $5 for a cappuccino including a 25% tip I will definitely be back!! Oh, and the coffee? It’s great!!

Coffee, donuts & dumplings in a cozy, eclectic atmosphere! This place has Tibetan dumplings (momo!) that are steamed fresh and absolutely delicious. I had the veggie (potato and chive), along with a non-dairy cappuccino that was well-crafted & served in a happy mug. They also have donuts from Bogarts to pair with your coffee! Additionally, there is a cute, interactive photo wall, games, books, a record player and movies on VHS. I would call this a win because of the combination of things offered here that pleased all parties, as well as the inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile and continue to eat dumplings all day.

This is a very cute cafe with a fun menu. Their momos are worth the price, served freshly steamed with chili oil and soy sauce on the side. The sandwiches are good as well, and I liked that the matcha drink was not too sweet. It was a bit tricky to park. It was very crowded when I went (my bad for going around lunchtime on a Saturday!) I would love to revisit at an odd hour on a weekday.

I am visiting Minneapolis for 2 days and was recommended Momo Cafe. I am so glad because this place is such a hidden gem!! I had the Ube Matcha (one of my favorites) and the mixed Tibetan Momo dumplings. Ube matcha was perfect in terms of flavor. The dumplings do take about 15+ mins to come out but 100% worth the wait. They are served with chili sauce and soy sauce but are also delicious plain. The atmosphere feels like the perfect blend of cultural and small neighborhood cafe.

Momo Café is a Tibetan-owned coffee shop in Northeast Minneapolis that boasts a menu of unique espresso/lattes. They also have a lot of less common flavorings for their drinks, including Black Sesame. I ordered a Sunrise Sandwich on a croissant. The croissant was fluffy and crispy from the toaster. The Sriracha mayo on the sandwich really paired well with the egg and cheese. 10/10 would order that again. I tried the Pistachio Rose latte per staff's recommendation. It was very earth and delicious. Not too sweet at all, the flavors spoke for themselves. The place is cozy but offers plenty of seating. They have a number of stoneware pieces, vases, and other artwork. The staff is friendly, willing to offer recommendations or answer questions. A lovely spot to go to and support locally. I will definitely go back to try their Momos and another drink soon!

Found street parking nearby, which made getting here easy. The lady taking my order was incredibly patient and friendly, and she made me feel welcomed from the start. I ordered the French Toast Latte. It was good, but I think I should have gone with one of the seasonal drinks if I was looking for more of that “wow” factor. The veggie momos took about 20 minutes to come out, which seems pretty standard since they’re made fresh. The wait didn’t feel long at all. They arrived hot, and the filling was delicious mostly cabbage and potato. The portion was generous and filling. I also loved the chili sauce, it had a nice kick without overpowering the dumplings. The café itself has such cozy vibes. It looks small from the outside, but there’s plenty of seating inside. The table lamps, décor, and music create a chill atmosphere that made me want to stay awhile and read. I’d definitely come back to try more of the menu!
