Loved everything about this coffee shop. The baristas were nice, the atmosphere is cozy, there’s plenty of indoor and outdoor tables, and the book store part has a great selection of YA books. The seasonal brown sugar and cardamom latte was delicious, and oat milk doesn’t have an extra charge! The egg breakfast sandwich was also amazing.

Coffee, beer, and books! Staff brings coffee to you as you browse the eclectic choice of books. Love their “Blind Date with a book” idea. Can’t wait to go back!

Cream and Amber is absolutely one of my favorite places. They create an atmosphere that makes me feel safe and wanted. I love to go there with friends or by myself. I even signed up to get my tarot cards read there which was an awesome experience! Check out their events they host. The drinks are delicious, the staff is warm and kind, and the book selection is awesome. And if they don’t have something, they will order it! Cannot recommend my favorite spot enough!

Mixed experience here. First off, I thought it would be more of a bookstore, but the collection was hard to browse since it was on the walls that lined the building, behind tables with customers sitting at them. It was hard to get a read in what subjects were where, just overall awkward. It felt like the books were just trimming, not the main focus. The pastries and coffee were good, but when we entered no one greeted us, all the tables were full in no guided us to potential seating. We had to scour around until we found a couple open seats at the bar. Also, I was with an elderly person who used a cane and Was obviously seriously limited in her mobility. No one, not one person, offered her a seat. Now, that’s not the fault of management but it does say something about the clientele. It would have been nice if someone on the staff took an extra step to help. No goodbyes or have a nice day when we left either. Disappointed we drove a good distance to try it out.

I love ❤️ this place. Coffee cider wine and books. What more relaxing way to spend your time. Plus they are supportive of their staff and our diverse hopkins community. I love all the special coffee’s like maple one I had this time was amazing. Way better than supporting billionaires like Starbucks. Shop small! Thank you for being part of the hopkins community.

This is the place. Love the ambiance, community, and idea. Love the coffee, drinks, and food. The folks who work here are always incredibly helpful. It’s a staple to the mainstreet Hopkins community. If you’re anywhere in the Twin Cities area, visit.

Always a positive experience with friendly folks. Don’t make me get started on the coffee I’d like to add in that I came in one day for a pick up order, and the order wasn’t what I expected. They were so warm and receptive to my request, and they corrected the order without making feel bad for asking. ALOT of places aren’t like that anymore. Love this place!

What an all around amazing place:) They were hosting a blood drive today, so we made our way over there. Mom enjoyed a great coffee and they had one of my fave Bent Paddle brews on tap- we sat and sipped and enjoyed just the best atmosphere:) We will be back!
