★★★★★ 5.0 Caryn Schutz · Oct 2025

We were on a little couples' getaway, wandering through northern Minnesota, when we discovered Loco through a quick Google search. With so many glowing reviews, we had to check it out—and we're so glad we did! Housed in a beautifully repurposed old train station, Loco immediately charmed us. What a brilliant way to bring people together again in a space once built for connection. And the name? So clever! The patio was inviting, the atmosphere peaceful, and the staff couldn’t have been sweeter or more knowledgeable. I ordered the maple butter chai (absolutely delicious), and my husband had the bananas foster coffee—such a treat! Our breakfast was just as amazing. If we lived nearby, we’d definitely be regulars. The menu was full of tempting options, and as a loose tea fanatic, I was thril

★★★★☆ 4.0 Paul Sip · Jan 2026

Coffee was good but could use a few better flavor options friendly service, cool location Reply to owner I said better not more. Nothing beats good homemade flavors compared to artificial syrups. You could have 3 homemade flavors that could be better than all of your flavors more is not better

We tried the cold brew coffee flight, the hot latte flight and then the Minnesota Bull Dog (their spin on a Colorado Bull dog) which had cold brew, Coke, and sweet cream. Honestly? Iconic. Tucked inside the historic Clock Tower at Northern Pacific Center, the space is full of rustic railroad charm, local art, relaxing vibes, and that fresh coffee aroma you wish you could bottle up. Bonus: they support local roasters and even have a cute boutique to browse while you sip. Come for the flights. Stay for the experience.

★★★★★ 5.0 Darrin Bergman · Jan 2026

A delightful coffee haus with an eclectic mix of vintage funiture and an uplifting vibe focused on what's really important in life: family & friends and good conversations over good coffee. I could've stayed all day!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jasper Struthers · Dec 2025

Loco Espresso Coffee is a great spot for a quick, quality stop. They’re fast, the staff is always friendly, and the service is consistently solid. I usually order their Zingers (so good!), and their coffee is excellent as well. I haven’t tried the food yet, but I’ve heard great things. I also love that they offer punch cards, it’s a nice perk for regulars. The only thing that would make it even better is a drive-through for an easier stop on my way to work. Highly recommend!
