Amazing Ascents
Jan 10 2026
Food is great! Coffee is a bit pricey with better options in the town. What gets me is atmosphere and I had to watch a poor table get harassed by some random man for knocking out a power strip question mark? But the man was just absolutely confused as to where the power strip was. It was crazy to see people get talked to in such a demeaning/disrespectful way by STRANGERS. Makes me not down to hang out or spend any amount of time here. Rude… :/

BEST COFFE IN TOWN. A must to stop by for a cup of coffee. The smell inside was so aromatic and made the coffee shop super cozy. I would recommend anything here, because all is good. But, our group got chai tea (10/10) iced matcha latte (10/10) and ICED LATTE (10/10) 💯💯💯 so so good.

The cutest and best coffee shop in northern Minnesota, hands-down. The atmosphere is great and the coffee is the best.

As a local, I've noticed that the prices have gone up significantly in the past 3 years. I understand product costs and staffing might be an issue, but it's becoming unreasonable. The prices of a latte are the most expensive I've seen in any location (both in Ely and everywhere else) I'm sad to say after years of being a loyal customer I will have to stop coming here if this doesn't change.
