Silverwood Café

I’ve only been here for coffee thus far. I can’t see anything that I’d suggest as improvement. I will write more after I try the lunch here.

Silverwood is an amazing coffee shop and awesome place to relax or get things done! Take a break with a walk outside in the beautiful trails or sit by the lake.
Great seating both outdoors and indoors.
Coffee and espresso is really good!

I love the cute little café tucked into the pavilion of this gem of a park tucked way up in Saint Anthony, just far enough away from 694 so you don’t hear all the traffic noise. There’s nothing fancy about what they serve, but the kids behind the counter are nice and helpful and the place has a quiet, calming aura about it. Maybe that’s just the scenic views out the many windows overlooking Silver Lake or the cozy gas fireplace surrounded by comfy (child-​friendly) couches. You don’t swing by here for a quick caffeine fix on your way to work, you come to forget about all that and actually talk to the people sitting next to you. We don’t have a Calhoun or a Harriet up the hill in Northeast, but we’ve got Silver Lake and the Silverwood Café, and that’s just fine with me.

I visited this lovely park to study with my friend. We got there around 11am on a Tuesday and it was fairly quiet. There was an artist working on his incredibly detailed painting and a couple of patrons socializing. It was a great study environment. However the closer it got to noon, the louder it got. Parents with their kids happily trotting about. The noise level was up to ‘unsuitable for studying’. We decided to take a break and get some grub. I got the panini with ham, bacon, and apple butter. My friend got the bagel with egg and cream cheese. Both were just above ‘meh’. It got a less loud in the afternoon into evening.
It is a beautiful place. Beware of noisy kids at times. Choose study time wisely.

Silverwood is a great place to go for lunch. Bailey waited on me and made me a wonderful, fresh sandwich. It was like being at home.

I met a friend for coffee here today. It is a beautiful park, a cozy café and they serve delicious coffee and tea. I’ve been here before and I know they serve food too, but my experience is limited to tea and coffee.
Go there. It is lovely, quiet, relaxing… a perfect place to catch up and just be.

Silverwood Café is a hidden gem in Silverwood Park with great views of Silver Lake and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Also, with benches and pathways throughout the park, I’d recommend getting a coffee and/​or snack and going for a stroll. The summer hours are surprisingly extensive, even on Sundays. I’ve only been there for coffee, but the café menu looks good as well. If you’re looking for a refreshing break from the standard Starbucks or Caribou experience, this is your place!
