The bike-and-coffee combo is nothing new in Minneapolis (think One-on-One and Cars-R-Coffins), but Minneapolis managed to squeeze another one into the city limits, and it's just begging for you to ride your fixed-gear over for a hot cup of joe. Angry Catfish opened in late 2009 and is still developing its cycle inventory, but it already has a couple of things going for it: a nice bike-repair station and amazing coffee. Minneapolis is finally embracing high-quality java, and Angry Catfish uses Chicago-based Intelligentsia Coffee beans to up the hipster factor. Grab a spot at one of the tables overlooking the traffic on 28th Avenue, and don't forget to look over the selection of bikes on display. The $5,000 rides might put your junker to shame, but at least potholes won't put a dent in your pocketbook when you cruise home.
Obviously Derek you are a hipster. You state that you were at a place called Angry Catfish for Coffee and Bike Repair. You sir are a filthy hipster. Hipsters never think they are hipsters. So it's up to normal people to decide who is and who isn't a hipster.BTW the City Pages is like the hipster bible. So the people who wrote this and voted on this are most certainly mostly all hipsters or yupsters or worse.
You're kidding, right? I've been to the Angry Catfish a number of times now, both for bike repair and for coffee, and hung out for a bit each time. I've seen people there with kids, students with laptops, folks just sipping their coffee... but one thing that I have NOT seen, not even once: anyone I'd define as a "hipster."
