Sunshine Coffee Co.

I drive 15 minutes one way just to go to this coffee shop, skipping several other closer options along the way. The coffee is delicious, not burnt, and aromatic. The pastries offer options that include gluten-free, and they are scrumptious. There are a couple of small sitting spaces indoors and a nice sitting area outdoors. The atmosphere is welcoming and you can tell the staff really enjoy being there. I regularly see at least one owner at any given time there as well... so you know it's a place of love and dedication to their craft. My only complaint is that there isn't a larger indoor lounge area and the only reason that is a gripe is because I love this place and could spend hours there drinking coffee and eating pastries while I study. I highly recommend this place.

This was the cutest place! It’s so nice to have a roaster and coffee shop on this side of the greater Twin Cities. It’s very cozy on the inside with a few chairs. The coffee was very smooth and delicious. They have oat, almond, and soy milk options. The pastries looked so good too, and there were even gluten free options.
