Matchbox Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Minneapolis

Great drinks and great service every time. Matchbox is a bit further from me now that I’ve moved so I don’t get there too often anymore.

The barista at Matchbox was like “I got you” and then handed me the best coffee I’ve had on my vacation yet....
