Find parking nearHeadwaters Café

Headwaters Café is a casual café and bar located in the Kellogg Lobby of the Saint Paul RiverCentre, a major downtown convention and entertainment complex that also connects to the Xcel Energy Center. Visitors stop in for fresh-from-scratch soups, salads, sandwiches, baked goods, coffee drinks and, during evening events, a full bar, making it a convenient spot to relax between conferences, expos, and hockey games or concerts. With thousands of guests often arriving for large gatherings, the surrounding streets can become busy, especially along West Kellogg Boulevard and near nearby arenas, so traffic congestion and heavier pedestrian activity are common at peak times. Planning parking in advance helps you arrive on time for your meal or event, avoid circling crowded blocks, and focus on enjoying your visit rather than searching for a space.

Because Headwaters Café sits inside the larger RiverCentre complex, most visitors rely on nearby off-street facilities, and on-street spaces in this part of downtown are limited, subject to time limits, and often fill quickly when events are scheduled. Street parking typically involves metered or signed restrictions, so you should always read posted regulations carefully to avoid fines and allow enough time to walk through the convention center to the café. Securing parking near Headwaters Café ahead of time can make navigating this busy district much smoother, particularly if you are unfamiliar with downtown Saint Paul or are attending a time-sensitive conference session or show. Before you travel, always confirm current parking rules, hours, and rates with official city and venue resources so your visit goes as smoothly as possible.
