Rick's Coffee Bar — Restaurant in Minneapolis

Rick's is a great coffee shop. They have a complete menu of espresso-milk (I say "Starbucks-style") drinks, all of which they will customize, including making it iced, adding flavor shots, or using milk substitutes. I've found these to be very good--better than Nokomis Beach Coffee as a point of comparison. They also have decent cold brew, but the espresso-milk drinks are the best.

Rick's is a part of the nonprofit Every Third Saturday (ETS). ETS designed and owns the building, out of which it assists veterans in the broadest sense. It's good to know the cafe exists to both be a gathering place for veterans, and also a neighborhood coffee shop.

Not a lot of coffee shops in this neighborhood and Rick’s is a good place to be. 16&20oz cappuccinos are a bit bizarre to me 🧐🧐🧐 and on my rating scale a lack of 6oz cappuccino (or thereabouts) is a downer. More is not always better. But that is just me. Ricks is a good place and I hope you get to the chance...
