about sk coffee: whittier
the cortado here cuts through minneapolis mornings like it means business. SK Coffee sits on lyndale avenue south where the neighborhood still feels like actual people live in it, not just pass through. you'll find the kind of coffee that regulars defend fiercely, the sort of place where someone's bound to tell you it's better than wherever you came from. their espresso pulls clean and bright, no fuss about origin stories or processing methods you can't pronounce. the milk steaming sounds right. tastes right too. this isn't some converted garage trying too hard to be quirky, just solid coffee done by people who know what they're doing. the drip coffee changes but stays consistent in a way that makes sense once you've been here a few times. grab their americano if you want to understand what the fuss is about.
