Hopkins Mainstreet, MN

Good books. Good beer. Good company.

Cream & Amber is a bookstore, cafe and taproom under one roof — browse new & used books, then settle in with local beer, fresh coffee, and a hot sandwich.

✓ New & used books ✓ Local beer, coffee & sandwiches ✓ On Hopkins Mainstreet since 2019

One roof, three good reasons to stay

The Bookshop

New and used titles to browse, with a community room to rent and online ordering when you can't make it in.

The Cafe

Fresh coffee, cold brew flights, hot sandwiches and baked goods — made to enjoy with a chapter or two.

The Taproom

A rotating selection of local beer and wine, because the best reads pair with a good pour.

Where reading and beer come together

Cream & Amber started with two friends, a love of good books, and a love of good beer — and the simple idea that the two belong in the same room. Pull up a chair, meet your neighbors, and stay a while.
