Duluth Coffee Company
105 E. Superior St., Duluth, MN
Eric Faust started roasting in a garage and built this into a downtown institution. Recently expanded the café space. Integrity-focused sourcing and roasting. A reliable everyday favorite.
Underwood Coffee
301 W. 1st St., Duluth, MN
Jake Underwood’s new downtown café (opened 2026) after years of roasting for other spots. Clean, expressive cups and a sunny Board of Trade corner. We’re thrilled he has a home base.
Dovetail Cafe
1917 W. Superior St., Duluth, MN
Lincoln Park gem partnered with the Duluth Folk School and Almanac Coffee. Specialty coffee plus food, beer, and community events. Feels like the neighborhood living room.
190° Coffee & Tea
Enger Lofts, 1832 W Superior St., Duluth, MN
Another strong Lincoln Park option with a comfortable vibe and solid coffee and tea program. Easy to settle in.
Studio Cafe
102 W. Superior St., Duluth, MN
A downtown creative hub in the former Dream Cloud space — locally roasted Underwood coffee and Spirit Tea alongside sandwiches, community art supplies, live music and the occasional tarot reading.
Amity Coffee
4429 E. Superior St., Duluth, MN
A homey Lakeside fixture since 2014, steps from the Lakewalk on the east end of town. The neighborhood cup — grab one before a walk along the shore.
Wired Whisker Cat Cafe
1823 E. Superior St., Duluth, MN
Coffee with company: sip a latte while adoptable cats make the rounds. Opened in 2024, it’s a one-of-a-kind stop for cat people and caffeine people alike.
Yellow Bike Coffee
4411 Venture Ave., Duluth, MN — also at Fitger’s, 600 E. Superior St.
A cheerful local roaster-café with a hard-to-miss name. Find them out by the airport on Venture Avenue or at their spot in the historic Fitger’s building downtown — friendly, easy, and worth the ride.
Naturalight
DeWitt-Seitz Marketplace (2nd floor), 394 Lake Ave. S, Canal Park, Duluth, MN
A candles-and-coffee bar tucked on the second floor of Canal Park’s historic DeWitt-Seitz Marketplace, pouring locally roasted Alakef. Order the Lutsen maple latte and wander the shops.
The Back Alley
2409 W. Superior St., Duluth, MN
Yes, a surf shop — and yes, a genuinely good latte. This Lincoln Park spot on the big lake pairs boards and locally made goods with real espresso. Peak Duluth, embraced.
