Stepwise Coffee

Stepwise Coffee is open weekends only, on Randolph Avenue in St Paul. Dalton, with Kelly, hand-picks single-origin beans and roasts them weekly. It's small and cozy, with window seats facing the street, and it's dog-friendly. Seats fill up on busy mornings, so many people take their coffee to go.

Espresso is a great first order, and the mocha is a favorite. There's a café con miel and solid drip. Take home a bag of single origin. They also offer subscriptions.
