The Coffee By Hand: A Trendy Escape for Desserts and Coffee in Duluth

Shout out the staff at coffee by hand. First of all, I love this place but know that the staff is so kind and so sweet. Every time I go everyone's great. Today we went and I saw a figure on the cash register that I realized was mine that had fallen off my bag. And when I realized this, the barista at the register was kind and said if he's your take him home. She looked a little sad to see him go so I said "you know what, he is home" and put him back. Placed my order, was standing to the side chatting with my husband, and the buzzer went off. I went to go get my coffee and shed left the lid off and out a cute little heart design on it which I thought was sweet. On the way out I said I'd be back to visit my little friend and she thanked me for letting him live there. An establishment is only as good as the people who work there, and these people are great. I think that is especially important here because this shop is very centered on creating a relaxing, open and invitingly social atmosphere. 10/10 staff. 10/10 coffee. Thanks for being great

Really cute cafe! It’s a great spot to study, hang out with friends, and enjoy some dessert and coffee at the same time. My friends and I tried the chocolate oreo bingsu—it was pretty good overall, but there was more ice than we expected. The top had great flavor, but toward the bottom it turned into plain ice with not much taste. Maybe it’s just the Oreo one, so I’m definitely planning to come back and try a different flavor. We also had their handmade macarons, and they were pretty good—slightly pricey, but worth it. I’m looking forward to coming back to check out more of their menu, especially since I saw they also offer some street food items!

I got an iced caramel macchiato and it was so good like actually hit the spot. I came here to get some studying done and the vibe was perfect. They have cute little booths and private rooms that fit like 3-4 people, so it’s giving productive Highly recommend if you need a chill spot to work or just romanticize your life with coffee

The staff was very kind and accommodating, and the space itself is gorgeous! Be considerate of the larger group areas, they do have signs with minimum occupancy. Highly recommend!

Came here with friends and family for their bingsu. The large size was impressive and good! The quality of the snow from the milk ice was great! We had ordered 2, red bean classic and mango bowls. I do believe this was the best bingsu I have had in regards to texture and balance of flavor. Bonus points for its larger than life size! My Americano was just OK. Have not tried the milk drinks. Would recommend this place for bingsu Korean shaved ice desserts!

Got mini fish bread with custard and a paining turkey Chipotle sandwich very good. Wish there was little more pastries available. There was $1 coffee self service available and water available. Inside was clean and easy to talk to someone because music not loud. Nice to get some coffee, a bite honest while working.

The matcha soft serve in the waffle cone was amazing, as its easily the best I’ve had. Everyone working there was super nice, and the overall vibe was great. The manager even came over and gave me an extra cup of matcha soft serve, which was such a sweet surprise. Definitely a great experience. I’ll be coming here more often

Ever since I tried this place out, this is my go-to spot for bingsu. The fruits used for the bingsu is very fresh and they actually layer the condensed milk throughout the ice, similar to cake layering, instead of a mountain of ice with flavoring only on top. Each bite was full of flavor.
