Calling all coffee lovers! Come soak up some sun on Sunbean's beautiful back patio, or catch some artificial rays with Light Therapy at their signature SunBar while enjoying a delicious coffee.
SunBean is a Black-owned business on a mission to "spread sunshine, community, and positivity through exceptional coffee and a welcoming atmosphere," and the owner, Fred, certainly delivers on that mission! He was great to chat with and fosters a warm sense of community inside his shop. It is decorated by work from local artists as well as a beautiful tropical mural that will be especially nice to sip coffee in front of come wintertime. This is truly a place where all are welcome, even if you're a caffeine novice.
Keep an eye on their social media for fun monthly specials and upcoming community events.
I got a blueberry passionfruit pop tart (made by another stellar local company, Fruit & Grain) and Fred's Favorite - an oatmilk miel latte with a dash of cinnamon. I’ve also had their cereal milk latte, which I loved. Great coffee, highly recommend!
Parking was easy with lots of a street parking in front of the coffee shop, seems like a nice quiet neighborhood in the Nokomis area of Minneapolis.
