Studio 2 Cafe

One of the coziest yet classy and fun cafes in the Twin Cities. With a selection of beers, wine, amazing food, and the usual coffee options Studio 2 manages to be family friendly while also catering to the eager participants of Trivia night and the live music shows on the weekends! The staff is friendly and very helpful, more than willing to recommend a good option or drink after greeting you with a smile.

When you walk in and see the long counter, with the big bar, you instinctively want to go and take a look. The atmosphere pulls you in, and helps you want to stay and find out what's on offer. Beer, wine, some expertly made coffee. It's all there. The menu is pretty solid as well, and it keeps getting tuned to be even better. Overall, it's a great place to be, and a wonderful place to spend a morning.

Great layout of space and the ambiance facilitates both work and relaxation. I found the coffee to be tasty (Americano, no additions) and enjoyable. The staff I interacted with was very courteous and kind while the customer base seemed like regulars who were happy to be there. They offer a happy hour on food which I did not partake in but appreciated the good deals and will be back again to try some food with my coffee.

Great local cafe for a cup of coffee and catch up with a friend or (more commonly) some quality time with your laptop getting some work done. Sufficient number of plugs to enable studying/working and a wide menu offering breakfast, snack, lunch, and dinner. Overall a very laid back atmosphere with quiet background music, great sunlight, and a fantastic patio to sit outside when the weather permits (with an overhang, so I've sat outside while it rains too!). The food is interesting, inventive enough to be interesting and compete with other local cafes but not too quirky as to be hard to find something for pickier eaters.

Delightful, friendly staff. Solid coffee and espresso options. The atmosphere is very cozy and comfortable. They have live music and open mic nights throughout the week. And to top it all off the food options are wonderful: kale and quinoa salad, Cuban sandwich, and that lentil soup are just a few treasures.

I visited and ordered the "Red Symphony". The guy behind the counter said he didn't know how to make it and apologized. I asked if he could make me one the way he imagined it should be made and he said sure. It makes me sad to know I'll never get to taste that wonderful drink again. My wife loved the place as well. Everything was cozy, friendly, fun and delicious. Thank you studio 2 for a great evening.

Tables are tightly pushed together, yet a great place to spend a Saturday night with live music. Outdoor seating in the summer. Lots of people working on laptops or reading during the day. Best parking is around the corner in the back, although on good days street parking out front is available. Pricey for a semi-warm cup of coffee plus have to pay a small price for refills. The aisle between the table area and where you order is narrow; difficult to manage with a wheelchair. Unisex bathrooms, yet someone in a wheelchair would need assistance with the door into the bathroom area. Minimally ADA. I have seen children here at Saturday night musical events, as well as their grandparents. Arrive early on Saturday’s to get a seat, especially in winter.

Super cute cafe/mini-restaurant with nicely lit indoor seating as well as outdoor options. Food is great and reasonably priced. I've had the carrot cake and Mediterranean Dip Duo (grilled pita with feta walnut pesto dip, Israeli hummus, olives, a variety of roasted peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers etc.), both were fabulous and good portion sizes. It's a great place to have lunch with friends or get some work done (i.e. plenty of tables, chill music, and lots of outlets). The staff are super friendly too. Only great things to say.

This was a favorite spot of mine when I was student teaching in the area. I remember a nice “happy hour”, great seating (especially when walls/windows were open) and very nice staff. Met other teachers here and had space to lesson plan and plug in computers. Never rushed and saw they host community events.
