Just in case anyone needs this,
The Purple Onion is on University ave. at 1301.
You will be driving over what on your right looks like a bridge. The place is directly on your left.
Parking is off-street. Their is meters, but if you go a block off, past the library on 13th and 4th, you will find free parking.
If coming from Fridley, Blaine area, take 35W. Do NOT exit on 280! Instead, continue on 35W all the way to the end of the road, where you will be forced to exit on 4th/ University ave.
Stay in the left lane, and straight ahead to University.
Take a left here (its a one way). Be sure to be in the second from the left lane after turning, or you will be forced to turn left too soon when on University).
Stay in the left lane, and go to 14th ave, so that you can drive past the coffee shop and know where it is.
then, turn left, and go back two blocks to find a parking spot.
Walk to University ave, take a left, and walk to coffee shop.
Any issues in finding it, you can call me at
763-257-6950.
