Hockey-themed coffee shop takes over Dinkytown's iconic Annie's Parlour

For the first time since 1974, the Dinkytown space that housed Annie's Parlour has a new tenant — a hockey-themed coffee shop.

The latest: Two for Tripping, which opened last week and serves specialty coffee and breakfast items, gave the building a hockey-inspired exterior paint job, per the Minnesota Daily.

• The interior's exposed brick, large windows and wooden booths still remain, and while malts are off the menu, you can request your latte to be served in one of Annie's old glasses.

Audrey's thought bubble: The area has been lacking a spacious, independent coffee shop since The Purple Onion closed in 2020, and this is a solid replacement — even if the coffee needs a little work.
