Coffee and Tea Limited - Coffee roasters in Minneapolis - 2730 W 43rd St, USA

Easily the best coffee and tea purveyors in the Midwest. They are incredibly knowledgeable, incredibly kind, and incredibly unpretentious. They are happy to answer questions, and every recommendation they have given me over the years has been fantastic. Truly a treasure of the Twin Cities. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Just went here 10 minutes ago, I love this place so much. Their coffee is so good and the people in there are so nice. I also like that it's not really a sit down place so it's not loud, just warm and peaceful. The people in there are very kind and the coffee is fresh, not pre-packaged (: fancy

Outstanding experience. This place brought back so many memories. It had so much charm and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The store itself is like walking into your weird uncle's garage (if your weird uncle were really into tea and roasting coffee). It's crammed full of boxes of tea and coffee. This isn't a place to come quietly peruse, it's a place to come and wonder aloud about a particular coffee or tea, inviting the conversation of the wonderful team behind the counter. Come ready to converse and you will be rewarded. What about the coffee and tea? First, real tea. None of the overwrought dried fruit salads or sugared madness many teas have become. While there are a few flavored teas, you'll find mostly classics like puh-erh, gunpowder, genmaicha, lapsang suchong and the like. The coffee will take you back to the early 90s where dark roasts thrived. The varietals available are stunning. Coffees from many places rarely seen in the mainstream and even niche coffee markets. When's the last time you saw Cameroon or Sulawesi on a shelf? And the espresso is especially great. A very European style, particularly the espresso noce, which was very much like drinking espresso in Naples. Definitely recommend stopping by.

So thankful for the random tip from a couple sitting outside the bookstore down the block to get a cup of coffee here. We were visiting from Canada, and this was hands down the best cup of coffee we've had. Hole in the wall shop, friendly service, finest coffee in the twin cities (and we were told the last $1 cup of coffee around)! So good. We hope to visit again!

The best selection of coffee in the city. They are ina league of their own! Always enjoy chatting them up when I am there

Best coffee I have ever had and the guys are so kind and knowledgeable.

They have tons of varieties of coffee beans and loose leaf teas, from Ethiopian to Hawaiian, Pu-er to Earl Gray. For beans, they'll grind them on the spot to a fineness of your choosing, or they can bag them up whole and seal them in plastic to preserve freshness. All the employees are very nice and extremely knowledgeable about coffee and tea. They aren't snobbish in the slightest, and are happy to answer any and all questions you might have. You're welcome to smell any of the coffee on the shelf, and man does it smell fantastic. Dark and fragrant, this is probably the best coffee I've had If you're looking to ramp up your coffee game, this is the place to go. There's nowhere else like it.

Kindest staff I've ever seen at a shop. There are SO many coffees to choose from and the beans are roasted fresh consistently! However, they're all roasted dark and/or past the second crack (burnt), so wouldn't say the product is to my personal preference. Prices are a steal though ($1.03 for a cup of coffee at a shop?!), $3 for a cappuccino vs $4 at Starbucks or $5 at artisanal locations. All kinds of equipment line the walls, including Chemex brewers and vessels, Toddy cold brew makers, hand grinders, retro grinders, etc. It's honestly impressive when considering that even places like Spyhouse or Dogwood Coffee don't have this amount of stuff. Always feel free to come by. If you enjoy a wide array of dark-roasted coffees and an unorthodox , "hole-in-the-wall" feel, this place is perfect. The neighborhood is lovely too!
