Joe & The Juice – A Refreshing Airport Pick-Me-Up in St. Paul

Joe & The Juice brings a touch of Scandinavian café culture to the Minneapolis–St. Paul airport, offering travelers a vibrant, modern stop for juices, coffees, sandwiches, and refreshing pick-me-ups on the go. For those familiar with the brand’s global presence—especially in Norway and across Europe—this location rekindles a little international nostalgia amid the airport bustle.

While the shop is known for both its “Joe” (coffee) and its “Juice,” the iced matcha latte hits a perfect balance: creamy, lightly sweetened, and vividly green. It’s a wonderful alternative to the standard airport chains, providing a cool, refreshing moment before boarding. Service, though friendly, was a bit rushed, resulting in a small hiccup with the drink size—but the team corrected it quickly and without hesitation.

What to Try:

• Iced Matcha Latte (bright, creamy & refreshing)

• Sandwiches & juices for a quick airport meal

• Specialty beverages for something different than the usual airport fare

Joe & The Juice remains a reliable go-to for travelers craving fresh flavors and modern café vibes. With a bit more attention to detail during busy rushes, this location could shine even brighter.

Review

Sara I. (May 17, 2023):

“I was thrilled to spot Joe & The Juice recently within my Minneapolis airport excursion whilst running to my gate in time. Hadn't been to a Joe and the Juice cafe in a few years. Throughout my travels in Europe (particularly within Scandinavia) I would frequent this cafe. They had em all over Norway. I do recall visiting a location or two within New York as well a few years back. Needless to say, it had been a while since I had a Joe fix.

The menu still looked the same as it does throughout the world and their sandwiches looked decent as well. I did not opt for coffee or food, rather I opted for their iced matcha latte. I know.. this spot is known for their ‘joe’ but they're just as popular for their ‘juice’ hence the name!! Felt the need to cool down so an iced matcha latte did the trick. It was creamy, lightly sweetened and refreshing. Just the right hue of bright green within the cup and I sipped away while on my excursion.

The service was just OK though and they seemed super busy. Yeah I know it's the airport but they really weren't fixating on the details. I initially ordered a medium beverage, but they gave me a small one instead. This caught my eye immediately and I told them to remake my drink. They did without any hesitation. I was glad to have my medium sized iced drink as I was sharing it with my favorite person. Mm crisp matcha moments! Something different than Starbucks, thank goodness.

This might be their only location in MN? Not sure. It was busy. I'll revisit in the near future. Just glad this airport has a few options besides SB — what a refreshing change. To the workers that work at this location, please focus on details and keep this place clean and non-disheveled. Bbyes.”
