Loco Espress Coffee House & Boutique

Loco Espress Coffee House & Boutique is a locally owned, mother-and-daughter-run coffeehouse located at 1521 Northern Pacific Road in Brainerd, Minnesota, inside the historic Northern Pacific Railroad Clock Tower Building. Founded by Mary Tuomi alongside her daughter Ava, the shop is best known as the home of coffee and tea flights — a concept inspired by beer flights at a local brewery — and offers an extensive menu of espresso drinks, loose leaf teas, cold brew, and a light food menu, alongside a contemporary boutique. The business is deeply rooted in community values, sourcing from local vendors, carrying veteran-founded Black Rifle Coffee to support veterans, and providing a welcoming gathering space for meetings, Bible studies, and community connection.
