For a lot of people, Five Watt is exactly what a coffee shop should be. They take their coffee seriously. The drinks are innovative, delicious and made with care. A nice asortment of pastries. What really makes it a top coffee shop is the atmosphere. People enjoy being there, which starts with a great staff, and it spreads. The clientel tends to be younger but all are welcome. It's very popular and hard to get a table after 9AM or so. It's not unusual to see strangers share tables. The design is simple and appealing with a few patio tables along Nicollet and a garage door opened on nice days. Coffee shop perfection.
