Wee Claddagh Coffee

Really great coffee, I ordered a cortado. Service was quick, place was clean, lots of walking traffic for people watching.

Best chai in Twin Cities. Amazing customer service. Love it love it love it love it love it. Not joking though I probably had Chai at every coffee shop in St. Paul and this place by far has the best Chai

So amazing. I love the vibe, the great customer service, and the creative drinks menu. So glad I found this.

Great little coffee shop. They make some excellent flavored drinks that aren’t too sweet or overpowering (big fan of the salty dog). Tasty baked goods and reasonable prices. It can get busy at times, making it a bit cramped. Only downside is the size.

The drinks are really delicious! Space is indeed very tight, so I’d recommend taking your party of 3+ to the the more spacious original Claddagh nearby. But if you’re just stopping in, it’s perfect!

Love the wee little spot! The Claddagh is amazing (latte with dark chocolate and baileys) and the Black and Tan latte hits the spot (cinnamon and honey).
Has about 4 tables, and a window ledge, and the daily newspaper. …and is good for a sweet treat! I highly recommend!

We live in LA & my parents live about three blocks from here — we were so happy when they opened as there was no good coffee in the area prior… the owner Mary is AMAZING– so friendly and hospitable — all the staff is super friendly for that matter. The coffee is great, could be a little bit more consistent in terms of baristas & the quality of coffee drinks they make. But maybe they’re still working out the kinks as its new. I’ve definitely been like thirty times. :) they have a punch card which I always love in a coffee shop — a good coffee shop. And their baked goods are really fresh & delicious.

My husband and I recently moved to the neighborhood and have been sampling the area coffee shops. This shop is perfect for a quick stop. Our drinks were delicious, but what really stood out to me was the level of customer service. The barista greeted us with smile, gave us her undivided attention, and offered menu suggestions. You could tell she was very knowledgeable about their products :) Seems simple, but often hard to find!

I really enjoy specialty coffee. This location seems to be more coffee/​espresso focused, whereas their main location is more focused on ambiance. Like others have said, the shop pretty much has 2 small tables, so it’s not the type of place you plan to study at all day, even if you landed a table you might start to feel claustrophobic after a little while. That said, my latte was very good.

They are not kidding when they say «wee». It is a tiiiiny little shop in a very cool strip of local stores. The baristas have all been very friendly, the coffee is tasty and they have a lot of options. I’ve been there twice already this week, it’s a nice place to stop in with a friend to chat. Definitely recommend their drip coffee!

Original Claddagh on 7^th is a beautiful café to relax with a book, catch some live Irish music, catch up with friends, or sip that Dirty Seamus slowly. The ‘Wee Shop’ on Selby is not for lingering. Not because you don’t wish to sit all day downing their Dogwood coffee or delicious vanilla maple homemade donuts. You can’t stay simply because there is just not enough room. BUT that is awesome! That is more than ok, do not fret. More shops should pick up this trend of opening a smaller version of their current awesomeness. Not only does it encourage people to try something new, it helps get the people in and out.
Have you ever wandered into a coffee shop only to find there are no spots available because that dummy over there took up a huge table with his laptop and homework, and to the right there’s a gaggle of children climbing all over the couches? This sweet spot has 2 small marble tables, and a window bar. Perfect for drinking a cappuccino, scrollin’ through your instagram, and heading out on your merry way. I loved that in the 20 minutes I spent there this morning, I counted 10 people come in and out with their choice brews. Pretty impressive for the size. That’s pretty much the only ‘wee’ thing about it — the roasts are amazing, the staff is more than friendly, the desserts are tasty, the shop is updated and trendy, and the location is awesome for some shopping and hitting up the local bars.
One thing that is not amazing is their hours — 6:30am — 4:00pm Monday through Friday and 8am — 4pm Saturdays and Sundays. I always wish St. Paul java joints would stay open late, but for now it remains just a dream. A delicious Irish frothy dream.
