Pow Wow Grounds: A Minneapolis Gem

Hey, guys! 🌟 If you’re looking to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day in a unique and delicious way, let’s talk about Pow Wow Grounds. Located in Minneapolis, this Indigenous-owned coffee shop has been at the heart of the community since 2010.

Whenever my hubby Jack and I visit the Twin Cities, this is one of our fave coffeeshops to grab a cup of pick me up! Hehe. Seriously, their coffee is so delish! 😻

I love the colorful building that's how to Pow Wow Grounds Coffee. It's cheerful and easy to spot when you're driving down Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis! — *I love the colorful building that’s home to Pow Wow Grounds Coffee.

One rule for travel I always consider when at a new restaurant or cafe: if there's a line of locals, you know it's going to be good! — *One rule for travel I always consider when at a new restaurant or cafe: if there’s a line of locals, you know it’s going to be good!*

More Than Just Coffee

Owner Robert (Bob) Rice, of the White Earth Ojibwe tribe, is not just serving coffee; he’s serving culture. ☕

The wild rice in your soup or quiche? Harvested and processed by Bob himself! They even have “Indian Tacos” wrapped in fry bread on Fridays. Yum! 🌮

I love the coffee at Pow Wow Grounds, and Jack always gets a pumpkin spice latte. It's so tasty! — *I love the coffee at Pow Wow Grounds, and Jack always gets a pumpkin spice latte. It’s so tasty!*
