Coffee Hag

Awesome location, food, and drink. Inviting place with friendly staff. I’ve never had a bad experience here and I highly recommend it.

Love the Hag. Always good for delicious coffee and friendly baristas. No one’s afraid of being themselves here. Bring your own to-​go mug for a discount!

I love this place for coffee and for lunch. Their cashew and curry egg salad sandwiches are delicious. In the summer, they also we’ve lavender lemonade which was new to me and so tasty. It’s one of few vegetarian/​vegan places in Mankato, and the new remodel makes the place less shabby but still cozy. The owners and staff are very friendly and go out of their way to welcome LGBTQ clientele.

There really is nothing bad to say about the coffee hag! I recommend a hot Bees Knees or an iced Mayan Sun. They just had a huge renovation and it’s really lovely!

Very tasty coffee. Had a specialty coffee and a cold iced coffee. Both were well above average in both quality and flavor typically found in a coffee shop.
Beans are roasted well, without the slightly burnt aftertaste usually found in Starbucks Coffee. The location was super. Comfortable seating, great vibrant décor. Ate the orange scone, it was super, great texture, flavor, and mouth feel.

Really enjoyed my experience there. Great coffee and breakfast burrito was good size for a great price. The only thing I didn’t like was it felt a little cramped but I guess most coffee shops do.

We stopped in Jan 1 and we are enjoying a butter pecan coffee and mocha. Seriously cool place to chill taking in a relaxed environment. We also viewed the music line up which is interesting to us because we like listening to live music.
A cool use of Old Mankato building! Dig it

Love the Hag. A highlight of every visit to Mankato from my hometown of Houston. Great place to hang out and chill with a book, a scone, a coffee and a friend.

The hag is the best!
Best source of community in Mankato, and possibly the world at large. Supporting the Hag means supporting the arts, fair trade coffee roasters, composting, safe spaces for everyone, the local music scene and local community in general. Hit them up! You won’t be disappointed

I’m from out of town and spent the night at my friend’s place on campus. After a long night, I woke up and went downtown in pursuit of a local coffee shop. I was not disappointed whatsoever when I came across this gem! I ordered a hot turtle mocha and a scone. Despite it being a little busy, I was served fast with great friendly service from the owner. The barista even made a very cool design in the froth of my coffee. I sat and enjoyed both my coffee and scone outside at one of their tables and enjoyed the fall morning. Will make a point of going back if I ever am back in Mankato!

About once a year when visiting family this is my daily go to coffee place. Great staff, relaxing atmosphere, never feel rushed and good food. They make the best lattes around.

Would escape from New Ulm and come here back in the aughts (2000s) to get some coffee and chill out. Ten years later, I’m back in the area and enjoying their coffee again. Haven’t been there since they remodeled recently, but I’m sure I’ll go back when I need another dose of the artsy-​hipster vibe. I also should keep track of their live music a little better. Sorry to say I’ve missed a few groups that I think I would have liked.

This little shop is the closest non-​chain coffee shop to where my grandmother lives in North Mankato. I stumbled upon it quite by accident when out with her one weekend and what a happy surprise that turned out to be. Having traveled to Mankato several times a year for the entirety of my life, I never felt the city had places with that cool factor I was looking for… until the Coffee Hag. What can I say? I love a good hipster coffee shop.
I’ve been here several times for my coffee fix now. Usually I’m going for something classic — an americano, iced latte, etc. I’m not one for sweet beverages, so haven’t tried the bee’s knees or some of the other specialty things others have mentioned. The drinks come out quickly and have always been made to my satisfaction, but I’ve usually been the only person at the counter during an off time of day.
Their baked goods case makes my mouth water and I finally split an amazing chocolate cookie the last time I was in. Overall, I really like their focus on organic and fair trade goods, and keeping the history of the building/​neighborhood in tact with the décor. I’d definitely be a regular if I lived here — the Hag would be a cute place to sit at one of the front window tables during a snowy Minnesota day (plenty of those!) with a hot cup of coffee and a book.

Don’t think I’ve ever gotten a mocha in a pint glass before. Sorta unfortunate that it wasn’t hot enough to be too hot for the glass. Also didn’t taste much different than the Cubano my husband ordered. Much more of a latte than a mocha. And get here early if you are hungry. They ran out of hot breakfast sandwiches by 9:30am on Saturday

The best part about the Hag is the environment and ambiance. If I needed a place to escape the noise of campus and relax, focus on some homework, and have good coffee, this was the place. The staff was always friendly and the bakery items were memorable and great tasting! Live music is always fun and if you find yourself wanting to remember your weekend for once instead of blacking out from 2-​for-​1s, stop here!

Amazing bakery items. My strawberry scone had lots of fruit. The coffee was well brewed and delicious. The Americano was flat but the hot chocolate was smooth and rich.

This place has an awesome atmosphere to it. The best of Mankato and the surrounding area. My band as well as myself solo used to play there from time to time too and it’s an awesome place for live music or just chilling… good coffee and yummy snacks. I miss this place!

Generally I have found the people there to be really friendly and coffee and treats have always been great! The last two times I have had a cranky, unfriendly barista so I stopped going. Ruined the whole experience for me so went back to Starbucks. It can take awhile to get your drinks, but generally worth the wait as they are good! My fav was the Bees Knees.

This place is always a pleasure. The Drinks are delicious. Their practices are Ethically sound. It Supports local business, supports organic foods, and supports social equality. There needs to be more places like it!

Coffee hag was a hilarious stop. My brother lives in the area and told me he had never been here because he could not find it. It is hard to find. I was lucky that the ghost sign of the photography studio caught my eye and I spotted it.
It was a shivering cold day in Mankato and we wanted so local coffee and pastry. We walked in and it was hipster-​ific. The girl working obviously hated the new guy on the register. I got the bees knees and my husband got an Americano. I also tried the rhubarb muffin.
We sat down and our drinks didn’t come out for a long time. We were not bothered because it was freezing and we were killing time but the other regulars were pissed.
It was all that new guys fault.
When our drinks did come my husbands was on ice. LOL! It was hilarious considering how cold it was outside. We didn’t complain. It was still good.
The décor in here is really cool. I like how the ceiling is peeling too. There is a stage for shows and a record player. It was fun to people watch the Mankato hipsters.
300^th review!
