Coffee, Creativity, Community

Now Open at 102 W Superior St in Downtown Duluth Minnesota

Creativity Matters


We are all creative souls.

It is our belief that practicing and expressing creativity makes us happier and healthier people.

We also realize that it may not be simple or easy for everyone, and that like most things, it can take some practice.

Studio Café aims to help cultivate and enable expressing creativity in everyone by making it easy to get started with traditional arts and crafts mediums.

Sit for awhile.

Draw something, watercolor, sew, fold paper, crochet.

Let us make you a coffee, while you make something the world has never seen.

Our vision is to show the world that coffee shops can nurture the human soul.

Upcoming events.

Type In!

Writers, Poets, Dabblers in Drama, Musicians, Playful Playwrights, those who Love Mechanical Marvels. Come to our Type-In.

Bring your typewriter and join us for clickity-clackety hangs, writing, relishing in the soundscape of an entire cafe filled with typewriters, and an open mic to share what you've cathartically clacked into existence.

Don't have a typewriter? Perfect! We'll have typewriters for you to play with and try out.

Interested in buying or selling a typewriter? This might be a good opportunity!

Have a typewriter that barely works, is limping along, or needs new ribbon? You might find someone that can help you!
