The five us us (and two babies) met at Cahoots on the corner of Snelling and Selby in St. Paul this morning. I got there early to vet it out (in case Cahoots was busy or had a weird vibe, I was going to wave the white flag and retreat to the familiar Starbucks across the street). I tried the house dark roast since that seems to be my favorite at other places. It was delicious and definitely hit the spot. Cahoots also has a variety of fun lattes: egg nog, mocha mint, lavendar white mocha, etc. They also have Turkish coffee. I had never seen this on a menu and didn't even know what it was. Apparently Turkish coffee refers to a method of preparing coffee. Ground coffee is boiled in a pot and then served in a cup where the grounds are allowed to settle. It's thick and really packs a punch. It's served in a small tea cup. I LOVED it. I love trying new things, especially when a place has a specialty. I highly recommend this if you truly enjoy the taste of coffee or if you are just looking for a strong caffeine boost. And can I just say, somebody needs to make a porter or a stout beer with this. I can't think of a better marriage of flavors to enjoy.
Cahoots also offers a small menu. They have baked goods, a hummus plate, and a few other items to enjoy while you sip their delicious coffee. Two of my friends ordered the quiche and reported it was good and had a little spicy kick. Another friend had the chili which was also good.
Overall verdict: I will absolutely go back. I loved the unique coffee items on the menu and it was very cute and quaint. My friends and I ended up spending about 4 hours there and enjoyed our time. I'm glad we gave this a shot instead of retreating to Starbucks!
