Located in Okome House only on weekdays, this is one of the best lattes I’ve had in recent memory, with gorgeous latte art to boot. I’ve heard the tea options are awesome as well. They offer whole and oat milk. There were a few pastry options as well such as coffee cake, banana bread, and red bean bread. During the warm months, they have an extensive patio to relax.

My family and I had a wonderful morning here the other day! The outside gazebo was a perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee and let the kids run around. Coffee was prepared really well and tasted amazing. Loved the neighborhood atmosphere and definitely plan on coming back!

Great-tasting coffee! I got a pastry from the restaurant they share space with, and that was great, too! Prices were very low, the person working was nice, and the space seems nice to hang out in.

Minnesota, you’re lucky to have Red Coral Coffee! Ben, the owner, is not only passionate about coffee and Taiwanese tea, but also incredibly welcoming and generous with his knowledge. Tucked inside Okome House, this cozy spot features both indoor seating and a peaceful outdoor patio in a quiet neighborhood corner. It’s a perfect place to get some work done or catch up with friends. And don’t overlook the non-coffee options—the shaken black tea is a standout, just like the ones in Taiwan!

The owner is so sweet and excellent at making drinks. I just moved to the neighborhood and hope to come often. Pastries are great, coffee cake is a must try. I haven't tried everything on the menu yet but I haven't had anything bad yet! Iced cardamom latte has been my go-to and it's phenomenal.

Ben is awesome and makes a great cup of coffee. Ample space inside and out in a quiet residential corner of town. Come here when you want to slow down, enjoy a good cup of coffee and be treated like a human. Be mindful that this is a one man operation, so show some respect and patience as someone who takes their work seriously makes you magical hot bean juice with the utmost care.
