Coffee House, 100 seats (or so), serving cofffee, pastires, and various paraphanalia (postcards, candles, incense, etc). One of the best spaces to hear acoustic music in MN! GINKGO coffeehouse opened in 1993 on Snelling Avenue in the heart of the Hamline Midway neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota. Its mission is to serve the community as a gathering place or place of respite. Key elements of its mission include: * offering an environment that welcomes people of all backgrounds and cultures; * supporting the communities near each location; * offering high-quality products and friendly service; and * providing a venue for talented professional musicians as well as a stage for musicians who play for fun and personal satisfaction. GINKGO coffeehouse recently became smoke-free and now features a family-friendly atmosphere with a children's play area, a weekly art & story hour, and other family events.
