New Regular Location!

Ever since ours early days as Ironclad Café, we’ve always been about local serving local. Admittedly, at our scale it isn’t always the easiest to pick and choose where we can go and often must take opportunities that allow us to remain operational. That’s why we’re so happy to make this announcement!

We are looking to replace some, if not all of our typical Wal-mart location hours with local small businesses and we’re starting out with one of the best murders in town!

Where and when?

The Curious Crow Company at 9157 S Hwy Dr, Circle Pines, MN 55014, USA with hours to be updated as we go. Make sure to keep up to date at https://steam works.cafe/events ! For this first week we’ll be setting up 8am-3pm subject to change!

About The Curious Crow Company

Erin and Tristan co-own this wonderful welcoming space that is open and safe to all. Their store offers a wide selection of vintage retail, retro video games, comic books, used books, collectibles, and more. In 2025 alone they hosted hundreds of events from tournaments and themed game nights to open mic nights, murder mystery parties, and trivia nights!

We believe that the antidote to disconnection is connection. The answer to isolation is community.

If you’re looking for a place to let that geek flag fly, enjoy the company of like-minded people, and feel comfortable just existing…whether you are a bouncing extrovert or a brooding introvert or anything in between…The Curious Crow Company is building quite the shiny nest. Just like us, they believe that community is important and they make it clear!

Will you be back?

We never say never! Ope…well I guess we rarely say never! As we said, we sometimes have to make business decisions that might not entirely reflect our goals. We would love to be able to no longer set up at big corporations outside of customer or employee appreciation events. For that we need your support more than ever! Please make sure to come support both us and the local small businesses we set up at.

https://steamworks.cafe/menu will always show our current location, rough times we’ll be serving, and links to our online ordering where you can get gift cards (that will also work on our primary retail website), order for pickup, or see our full menu and prices.
