Kopplin's

saint paul has its own coffee identity, quieter than minneapolis but no less serious about it. kopplin's, on marshall avenue in the mac-groveland neighborhood, sits at the center of that reputation. locals who care about where their beans come from tend to end up here eventually, and if you haven't made the trip out to the 55104 end of marshall yet, it's worth rearranging your saturday morning for. the roasting side of the operation means the coffee you're drinking has a traceable lineage, not just a country sticker on a bag. kopplin's has held its standing in saint paul long enough that it's less a discovery than a fixture. start with whatever's on the single-origin filter menu that week.
