Not a great espresso shot. The cortado had way too much cream in it as well. But the staff was nice and it was a warm environment to hang out in.

A nice coffee shop with good pastries, tasty drinks, and a super cool vibe. Free WiFi, plenty of outlets, and lots of seating make this a great work spot. The service was fast and friendly, even when the lines were long. Would definitely recommend!

Was in the area Sunday mid-morning early afternoon having brunch and stumbled across Nina's. Cute neighborhood historic coffee shop in Saint Paul. It was packed which I'm not surprised it was a gorgeous MN day. My friend and I waited about 10 minutes before being helped. The menu wasn't so greatly displayed, but once you got up to the counter you could see it. The gentlemen who ended up helping us was friendly. Super nice and chill as well. My coffee was good. I saw they have a variety of iced teas and definitely will be returning for one of those soon.

Love this historical little corner coffee shop. It has a very historic vibe to it and they make great coffee. I can always appreciate when the foam and pour on my coffee is done well and they definitely have the skill here. Don't be fooled by the photos in this Yelp page about food, however! Usually it is only what ever they have on stock which is usually only bakery goods such as banana breads or cakes, bagels, etc. We came here thinking there might be food options, but they don't have a full menu, so heads up! they are super kind and it is a great place to stop in for a hot beverage not too far from the city! Great place to enjoy and get a feel for this historic spot in St Paul!

I love Nina's. The coffee is delicious, the baristas are all incredibly friendly, and I always get a ton of work done while I'm here. My ONLY problem is that it's not closer to me - which is a me problem, not a Nina's problem!!! Although the shop is always buzzing with people, there are so many different cozy corners to tuck yourself into with a good book, and it's still quiet enough that it's a great place to catch up with a friend or even have a zoom meeting if needed. They're always playing music, but it's never too loud (and I always enjoy it!!). They have live music every now and then too. Nina's seriously has my heart and is easily my all-around favorite coffee place in the twin cities.

Nina's is a cute neighborhood coffee shop that leans into a bit of vintage and new! The Madame Nina and Neighborhood drinks are two of their unique lattes that I've tried so far and they did not disappoint! While I wish the drink menu was a bit more extensive, they have the basics and a few specialty drinks, all of which have been mastered. As far as food goes, pastries are in a glass case with gluten free options from Sift on top of the case. The banana bread was alright but nothing notable. Syrups are Monin so I usually feel safe enough to order flavors. Nina's is already becoming one of my neighborhood spots for coffee, work, or just hanging out!

Such a cute and cozy space! Nina's has a ton of room to grab a table and get work done. Their drink menu has both classic items and several specialty drinks. I got "The Neighborhood" iced which is caramel, cinnamon syrup and oat milk. It is so delicious and sweet! Sometimes changing to alternative milks changes the flavor, but this drink automatically comes with oat milk which I love because you can tell it compliments the syrups and espresso so well. They had yummy looking pastries I didn't try but it gives more motivation to come back. I also love the single table up the stairs that overlooks the rest of the cafe. I'm sure it's a popular spot but I'd hope to sit there one day! Also they validate parking!!

Any coffee place that i can get a bougarts and amazing coffee together can have my money! I don't get to St Paul often but if and when i do this is going to be my caffeine coffee place!!

Nina's is the best coffee spot in St. Paul - amazing food, great location, immaculate vibes. The espresso at Nina's is smooth and strong. This is one of few places I will order a cappuccino or latte without any additional flavors or fluff (aka sugar) because the espresso tastes so good on its own. I've tried a number of their special drinks as well - the Neighborhood is my strong favorite, but you really can't go wrong with any of them. A matcha will run you $7 but is entirely worth it. Again so smooth and so much flavor. Nina's hits it out of the park on everything they do. It can get pretty busy, so best to get there early as seating is limited inside. There are some tables outside it the weather is fair.
