Dovetail Cafe & Marketplace

Great food, very cool and laid back atmosphere. You order, pick a seat and they bring you the food and you bus the dishes. There's so much to look at and explore. The staff are very kind. The drinks are delicious, we ordered mocha and an iced chocolate Chai latte. They are spendy but it's all local and natural ingredients and a small business so it is worth it!

The quiche was amazing! I've only had quiche once before, but this blew me away with how good it was. And the side salad that comes with it has such a good dressing that pairs perfectly with the quiche to balance the meal out. I got the meat quiche which was perfect, my partner got the veggie one, and although still good it wasn't as good as the meat one in my opinion, it may have needed more salt or something. I had a dirty chai here and it was one of the best I've ever had, they've got some really good espresso. Service was by no means bad, it just wasn't the friendliest, great food and drinks though

Lovely cafe with delicious handcrafted beverages and an unforgettable, duluth-vibed atmosphere. Calling all chai lovers! This is YOUR coffee shop stop. Best chai I've ever had, the mix of spices was truly unique and warming.

Interesting place for sure. The food and the coffee were delicious. Took a bit for us to get our food but nothing terrible. Atmosphere is a mixed bag. Very interesting decor and what not due to the fact that the place doubles as some sort of school but the seating is tough because people just seem to sit anywhere, like a single taking up a table that could fit 5-6, etc.

Very good and fast service for a busy Sunday morning. The man who helped us (possibly the owner?) was exceptionally kind and it really brightened our morning 😊 I got the vegan Valhalla and it was very good! My only complaint would be that it was a little cold but I didn't mind. The sauce and tofu were great! I also got a iced latte with raspberry syrup and oat milk that was incredible. The building itself is very charming with a lot of other products you can buy. The sense of community in the space is very nice.

The coffee drinks and food here are amazing. I had a quiche and the mac and cheese and both were wonderful. Such a great place to hang out. Also great to check out the activities at the Folk School!

I love this place. Everyone is so kind, the manager always says hello, and the coffee is always good. If you're hungry you'll also enjoy a great meal as well. Of all places in Duluth, this is one of the main places I've been to that actually feels like a community. Events, learning, and conversations happen here.

I was surprised how spacious it was inside. There are a few dining sections, some of which are suitable for working on your laptop and others for groups. A quiche, a bagel sandwich, a rice bowl were all great. I saw some interesting tap beer options on the menu so I would love to come back to try some next time. Their large brick wall gives an impression of being in a warehouse and I think it would be awesome to see some artwork by local artists there.
