Ginkgo Coffeehouse

Description:

• During the day, this is your typical neighborhood coffee shop with potted plants, a mixture of artwork on the walls and furniture that appears to have been confiscated from garage sales. A few nights a week, the lights are dimmed and the joint plays host to the Twin Cities' best singer-songwriter types. The acoustics in this high-ceiling venue are quite good. If the artist is popular, you may want to arrive early to grab a mismatched table and chair. The menu features a variety of flavored teas, coffee, latte and espresso, soft drinks and juice. A selection of pastries, cookies, hard biscuits, soup, salads and sandwiches is featured. There are three other locations in the St. Paul metropolitan area, check website for more information.
