Amore Coffee

Amore Coffee in West St. Paul feels like a neighborhood living room. There are armchairs, work tables, big windows, plants and local art, plus board games and cards if you're staying a while. There's free wifi (the password changes weekly), most tables are near an outlet, and there's outdoor seating too.

They roast in-house. The light roast Peru and the espresso blend are the popular ones. The Vienna latte and the lavender latte come up a lot, and the baristas are happy to help you find something new.

Owner Tara is a big part of the place. The shop hosts live music, crafting groups and other community events.
