Where's the Best Coffee Around Here?

Whether you prefer a frappuccino with extra whipped cream or take your coffee black, there are several coffee shops in Inver Grove Heights and South St. Paul where you can pick up a sweet treat or an energy boost.

Which coffee shop is the best?

We want you to help us decide. Vote for one of Inver Grove Heights and South St. Paul's coffee shops in the poll below, and tell us in the comments if we missed one:

Black Sheep Coffee

Coffee Exchange

Voting ends at 9 p.m. March 8. Your Patch editor will determine the winner based on a combination of poll results and the number and enthusiasm of reader reviews on Patch Places. We’ll announce the winner at noon March 9.

In addition to voting, check out Patch Places (it's on the menu bar atop this page) and write your favorite coffee shop a positive review, since reviews count toward determining the winner. And after you vote, sign up for our newsletter to be notified about who wins.

If you prefer to go outside of Inver Grove Heights for your caffeine fix, vote for the best coffee shop in some nearby Patch towns: Eagan, Mendota Heights or Woodbury.

The Best of Inver Grove Heights poll will be a regular feature. Stay tuned for Patch's next "Best Of" contest, where users will vote on the best place in the area to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
