This place has it all — it's not just an art center, but also a bookstore, café, and shop filled with unique stationery and delightful curiosities.nnThe center hosts talks, classes and workshops, making it a hub for creativity and learning.nnI absolutely loved the atmosphere — surrounded by books and art, it’s a dream spot for anyone who enjoys reading and writing.nnThe shop offers a wide selection of beautiful items perfect for gifting or treating yourself: stunning papers, cards for every occasion, notebooks, and so much more.nnI definitely recommend visiting — it’s a true gem! ✨

Brosif, it's lit. it's chill, it's such a vibe, it's the best little coffee shop in the city. The workers and chill, my americano was fan-fliping-tastic, had a book store and a GIFT SHOP, I love little shops, bought a note book i use almost daily. You shoud go.

This is a hidden gem in the middle of the humble city of Minneapolis. So much talent and great art with absolutely no sense of pretentiousness!nA breath of fresh air.

The events they host are excellent, and they really add something great to the community by giving platforms and voices to those who are not given them often. I’ve been to the loft several times over the past few years and have never been disappointed in anything they have to offer, from the events to the food/coffee to even just the space they occupy. A great place overall.

I recently took my first Loft class, and it was a fantastic experience. Kate St. Vincent Vogl taught the course, which was on keys to driving narrative. She provided thought-provoking examples and guidance on ways to approach narrative, and she led interesting discussions on the craft. I received valuable feedback on my work from Kate and my fellow classmates. I'm planning to take more classes at the Loft in the future.
