SK Coffee: Whittier

Very kind staff, adorable vibe, very reasonably priced, delicious coffee. Plant wall was so cool and the seating is comfortable! Good wifi for a work day too.

Lots of natural lighting, which is nice. We went when they were displaying some graphic novel art from a local artist which was super neat. They also have a lot of coffee literature that you can read while sipping on your cuppa joe, and they also have a sweet galium add-in that gave my Cortado a nice botanical twist.

I’ve been a few times now and I absolutely love it at SK. For starters, they have great coffee, tea, and pastries. I love how it seems like they’ve always got something innovative and exciting going on here that you don’t see at other coffee spots, like the seasonal agua frescas and the artwork on display. Beyond that, I especially love that they are involved in and supportive of the surrounding community. Seeing the work of local artists on the walls energizes me, and might explain why I’m always seeing talented, creative people working here. Their playlists slap and there’s always the flutter of good conversation in the air here. Immaculate vibes. I can see myself becoming a regular. Staff are super friendly and knowledgable. Thank you SK!

EPIC FREAKING AMAZING QUALITY COFFEE 🤓☕️☕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🦅🦅☀️☀️ Came here with my bestie I was traveling from Florida and I have my hometown speciality coffee place to compare it with Both diff both Amazing LOCAL MILK??! Like come on > That’s awesome I wish every shop did this! The owner I think? Super nice super sweet Awesome vibes all around I miss the latte Pour over was so yum! THE CROISSANT WAS SO GAS I MISS IT so much😭😭❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🌱 My bestie loved her latte > It was a vanilla Oatmilk latte She misses it very much here in Florida

The coffee is great there, and is served in large cups. I was pleasantly surprised. My date and I tasted each other's drinks, and came to the decision that both were equally as good as the other! The dulce was the perfect amount of sweet. The service was great, and the staff really support each other and this community. I will be back!

Walking into this shop felt like getting a breath of fresh air. I ordered a flat white and the espresso was perfectly extracted. They have a lovely selection of baked goods (highly recommend their seasonal treats) and the interior is beautiful, plenty of greenery and tastefully selected seating! Can’t wait to get back for another visit!

I had been to the SK Coffee in St Paul and also really liked the vibes of this location! I loved the plants and the modern vibe. The baristas were very friendly and you could tell they were very passionate about their work and the aromas and flavors in the drinks. I had an iced matcha and added honey to it. Love that their syrups are all housemade there. There were also some good looking pastry options as well. The WiFi was strong for working on my laptop and I didn’t have to wait too long to get a table. Free street parking out front!

Came in at 8am on a weekday and was greeted so warmly. The kindness alone helped to perk me up, and it was so appreciated. The coffee and pastries are great as always. Vikings and Goddesses or Laune Bread provides pastries depending on the day. A great spot! Love the plant wall.

I finally got to SK Coffee while bopping around Uptown; the cafe itself is cute, with lots of natural light, & plenty of seating. I really like that there's a big booth right inside the door. There are also a ton of plants, which ups the coziness. The barista was ready to help me fairly quickly, and I like that they focus on where the coffee comes from. I ordered an iced Dulce de Leche latte, which was really tasty. I worry about dulce de leche being too sweet, but this latte was well balanced. I'd definitely like to buy some beans here in the future!

My husband loves to buy a bag of their Colombian whole beans to take home and grind fresh before throwing in the French press so we come quite often to the Lyndale location. Parking can be tough, really a hit or miss on the streets but love the warm atmosphere inside. There's such a great calming vibe & truly the best coffee cafe where you feel invited to come, stay, and sip for a while. Their homemade pop tarts are also phenomenal!

Came here with my friend while visiting Minnesota. This is her go-to coffee shop in Minneapolis. I enjoyed my oatmilk matcha latte. I got a Galium addition, which is local/native vanilla (flavor) to the area and brought a new dimension to the match. I will be back, when I am in town.

Stopped by here for a coffee after a run and this place just really isn't for me. What I do love about this spot is the ambiance and space. Seems like a great spot to study or work for the day with different seating options like tables, the coffee bar, window seats. Also, the barista was super quick and kind, especially when they were the only one behind the bar and taking orders. If I ever come back, I would probably opt for a pastry since it looked delicious. I really disliked my coffee to the point of trying to drink at least half of it before just throwing it away. My friend also tried it and thought it tasted rancid. When I went up to order I ordered a vanilla cold brew. The barista corrected me and said their vanilla was called Sweet Gallium, and it was their 'take' on vanilla. I said fine since I assumed it would still taste similar. The barista asked if I wanted dairy or oat for milk - I asked if there was almond and they just repeated what they said which was just a bit odd. I can't to oat so I opted for dairy - I probably should've asked what that meant because it ended up being whole milk. When I paid this iced coffee was over $7, which is outrageous. I get cold brews with flavors and milk alternatives in North Loop funky shops for less. The barista made the drink quickly, and was super passionate about it - they explained how Sweet Gallium is a type of flower and it adds a beautiful flavor to the coffee. They also let me say 'when' for how much milk I wanted which was nice since I didn't want a lot of whole milk in there. The Sweet Gallium tastes nothing like vanilla and the coffee was extremely acidic. The mix of the two made it taste like it was spoiled. I love a rich roast but this just wasn't for me. Someone else's review said that their coffee was a bit sour and I definitely agree. I would come back and maybe try a matcha, but the price has me turned off overall.

I've been to the St. Paul location and this one is equally as cute! Lots of plants and natural light. The barista was so friendly and knew everyone coming in. It seems like a great neighborhood meetup spot with a few tables and bar seating area. It also had strong wifi for working. We went on a Friday mid morning and snagged a table to fit 3 people. It was pretty consistently busy throughout the day. The prices are a little crazy, although a lot of coffee shops are getting to be over $7 for a small latte. I tried the specialty iced vanilla latte and it was good! They also had a couple of pastry options. There's street parking out front. Worth a try for the welcoming vibes!

This place is such a vibe! It brings the outdoors in with all the plants. There is beautiful art from local artists on the wall and comfortable cozy spots to sit. The baristas have always been very knowledgeable about the coffee and the menu in general and are always friendly. They have their own roasted coffee beans that you can always buy and it's always sooo good! Also the roasted coffee comes with a free cup of drip coffee. We love their pour overs are always done to perfection! In general pour overs take a while but I never feel like it's takes long here. Just such a great coffee shop!

Not my favorite. Staff was super friendly but it was a little more expensive than other places and not as many milk options.

Nice atmosphere (for the size). Baked goods are fresh and delicious. The barista was very friendly and the pore over was great! Good to step away from the chains.

If you're in Uptown and want to grab a Spice Latte, a Dirty Chai, or maybe just a good ol' cup of coffee, SK Coffee's new location in the Whittier Neighborhood will serve you with a smile! There is a moderate selection of drinks including teas, coffees, and Kombucha. I had their Americano, and it was smooth and hit the spot for me. They also have a small assortment of bakery items for sale! The staff member was cordial and considerate when taking my order. They were super friendly with all customers who came in! The atmosphere is open and decorated with pops of color and plant life. There is plenty of seating with tables if you want to hunker down and get some work done on your laptop. They have a lounge area and bar seating as well! They also have a baby changing station in their bathroom for anyone who has a little one with them. I recommend stopping by SK Coffee to satisfy your caffeine needs!

I drive past this place all the time and when I finally stopped in I was so happy I did. Parking is located on the street or across the street. The space itself is very small and fills up fast. However the hospitality is second to none. I really enjoyed my matcha latte and I can't wait to stop in and try the pastries next time!

Great atmosphere, great service and amazing Herbal tea options. Super comfy couch with plenty of plants to liven it up.

Stopped by on a thrifting day (this strip has sooo many thrift shops)!!! Wanted some caffeine to keep my energy up, and so I just got their normal drip as their other coffees were more expensive than anticipated. The drip was alright...honestly tasted a bit sour. I like a very rich coffee, and was somewhat bummed by the acidic taste it gave. The inside however is very nice and pleasing, and their staff were very kind. But unsure if I would return for their drip. I think that despite the price, I'd go with espresso next time.

The service from the barista was great, and the place looks nice I guess. However; the most important part of any coffee shop, the coffee, was mediocre and overpriced. I've given them multiple tries but for $7+ you get a tiny latte (with no option for size which makes no sense) that doesn't taste good at all. The coffee/espresso is almost always sour and nasty.

I love what they have done to this coffee shop. Misfits was pretty good coffee but definitely not inviting to the average coffee drinker like it is now. Now it has great coffee from SK plus the atmosphere is much more inviting.

The barista was fabulous. The cups are miniature and if you get a latte expect half of it to be foam, even though a latte doesn't contain foam and have NO flavor lol. Even my tea was weak sauce and that's a bag. Very minimal options and overpriced. 10/10 def DON'T recommend.
