North Minneapolis Places We Love
Home

The Bean Scene, W. Broadway Ave. and Penn Ave. N. 

This building used to be a Burger King, and gangs used a corner of the store for recruitment.  I wouldn't come in at all because they supported gangs.  But now this building is a positive site.  The coffee shop is a place for neighborhood meetings and a place I run into old friends.  For a business in North Minneapolis, you've got to be involved in the community to survive.  They also have really, really good coffee.  I used to have to drive out to Golden Valley to get coffee.
