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.

Live Music - Idle Rose
Laura Idle and Rose Spieler-Sandberg form the folk duo Idle Rose. The pair are based in Ashland and sing an honest, relaxed and sweet style of Americana that ripples and shines like the Chequamegon Bay on a calm, warm summer afternoon. Soft harmonies and simple acoustic guitar drive their original songs, which are playful, uplifting and heartfelt. Idle Rose hosted a regular monthly music series at the Washburn Meditation Center this past winter called the Cozy Craft Concerts. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2021 and can be found on Bandcamp. (Taken from the Duluth Homegrown Music Festival Website)
