I think it might have even still been the 90s when I started going here and still tastes the best in town over 20 years later! Not really in this area too much, but thankfully they have the smaller spot on N University too! Nothing fancy for me, just coffee black with a couple shots of espresso and I'm good to goooooo!! I don't know where they source their beans from, but it has this slight velvety sweetness to it that's just....perfect! 5 stars hands down!

Unfortunately, I'm needing to change this 5 star review into a 2 star. This used to be mine and my bestie's favorite coffee place. We've tried multiple times within the last half a year to let them know that our coffees have been way too watery and they keep giving us WAY too much creamer when all we ask for is one splash. One splash should not take up 1/4 of our cup. Pair that with coffee that isn't as strong as it used to be, and you have yourself a water-logged dessert disaster instead of a fine cup of coffee that we used to get consistently for years. The majority of the time, we loop back around and ask them if they can possibly help us fix it, then they just give us cups of "coffee" that are BARELY any better than the disappointing ones we just had. So, we have officially given up. Nobody working there that we come across has given us any reasoning behind this drastic change after months of this, and unfortunately put hardly any work whatsoever into listening to their customers/improving. So, it's time to move on. We have yet to find another coffee place that is as good as Northstar used to be, but we'll keep looking.

This place is so awesome. I come every single morning. Erin makes the best Iced Coffee. I I love saving money there. It’s better than caribou or Starbucks I promise you that!
A true Northstar experience; happy employees, eager to assist, even better drinks, North Star is the best coffee place that exists. I give it 5/5 in all categories. Show some love to this small business and the hard working employees, grab a cup o Joe Here and you will be delighted.
