The Beat Coffeehouse is a place that you really need to visit when you are in Minneapolis. Located at 1414 West 28th St. in the Uptown area of Minneapolis, The Beat offers fine coffee and espresso drinks, teas, blended fruit drinks, and excellent sandwiches and bakery goods from a local bakery and deli. High-speed internet access is available for the use of customers at no charge, so students, business people, writers and other artists can settle in with a good cup of coffee and their computers to get some work done.
The management and baristas at this rustic little place will make you feel right at home, and are always happy to engage in good conversation. There is a special vibe about The Beat, and it doesn’t take long to note that it’s about more than just drinks and food for them. The folks that you will find serving at The Beat are passionate about doing life together with the people in the neighborhood and the arts community, as well as with those that are just passing through. As was said by a regular patron in a recent comment on a social networking site: “…this is a place that, whatever you bring in you walk out with more!”
In addition to drinks, food, internet access and good conversation, The Beat is also a center for arts, poetry, and music. As an all-ages live performance venue, you might find anything there, including poetry readings or music from folk to jazz and blues, to high energy hard rock & roll, on any given evening. Stop in during the day and there’s even a good possibility that you’ll find someone improvising quietly on an acoustic guitar or the old piano in the corner of the performance room.
