Coffee, crepes, baked goods, salads, and creative lattes in warm
"Instagram darling Café Astoria is a sun-filled, bustling shop that serves smoothies, light daytime dishes like savory crepes and sandwiches, and espresso drinks. One favorite, the Bee Sting, is made with cayenne, honey, and bee pollen. Co-owner Leah Raymundo’s creativity shines through on the Secret Menu, which features lattes and matcha pours with rainbow foam, giant marshmallows, and more. Online orders are accepted for everything from drinks to decadent crepe cakes." - Stacy Brooks

"Known for its beautiful creations, Café Astoria’s seasonal Candy Cane Latte is topped with a candy cane and gold leaf for a bit of whimsy, and its coffee-and-candy approach is delightfully festive." - Alex Lodner
"The St. Paul shop sources organic Rishi Tea Matcha powder, a popular choice in the Twin Cities. For the fall, look for a pumpkin pie matcha using house made pumpkin spice with cloves, cinnamon, turmeric and ginger. Another strong contender is Leah’s Happy Place, with lavender and pistachio." - Alex Lodner
"I found their patio is currently open with tables sometimes placed on existing patios, in parking lots, or on sidewalks; guests are asked to wear masks and all staff will be masked, with precautions in place—check with the restaurant for individual days and hours. Studies suggest lower exposure risk when dining outdoors, but that benefit depends on restaurants following strict social distancing and other safety guidelines." - Joy Summers
