Tact Coffee

Tact sits on West Territorial Road in Saint Anthony Park, roasting in-house and serving the neighborhood with a Lego shelf and a vinyl crate near the counter. The cappuccino is the drink the regulars name first. The chai is made in the kitchen, not poured from a carton. Tips go back out to local services, which the staff will mention only if you ask. The room is small and quiet enough for a book. Hours run early, weekends a little later. Order the cappuccino if you want the version of Saint Paul coffee that the early reviews keep pointing to. Order the house chai if you want the drink that proves the kitchen takes the back of the menu as seriously as the front.
