OUR
STORY

Nestled in St. Paul’s Hamline-Midway, Bewick Cafe is a neighborhood spot you’ll want to visit from any neighborhood. From morning cardamom buns to lingering lunches (with wine coming soon) to soft serve on the patio, Bewick is an all-day cafe where everyone can find their place to perch.

Bewick’s wren (pronounced just like the car) inspired the name, a rare little North American bird that builds its nest together with its mate. A perfect fit for a restaurant built by a husband and wife duo building a cafe in their own neighborhood.

Bewick’s menu is centered around the meals Nicole loves to cook and share with friends and neighbors—dishes shaped by Minnesota seasons, global flavors, and the community itself.
