I like the atmosphere and ambiance of this location Bright airy with greenery and lots of plants They have a ton of seating available Wasn't a fan of the breakfast sandwich- too many sweet onions and the coffee was just mid Small size was very expensive They were dog friendly and gave my pup a treat so she was happy It's always busy no matter what time of day with hotel and non hotel guests

This place really surprised me, didn't realise it was inside a hotel lobby. We were only going to just get coffee here but saved ourselves a walk and just got breakfast here too. We ended up coming back the next day for coffee too. My only gripe, we ordered flat whites, out of four coffees the first was filled to the brim and the others about an inch gap, consistency? We got cheese and ham croissants and egg bites both very nice.

Mill City Strata

In the corner of the Emery Hotel. Ordered a Spy Girl (lavender honey latte) with oat milk. Delicious, not too sweet. Just enough lavender for flavor. Kouign-Aman - good but a little stale. Mill City Strata - a quiche of sorts. Cheesy. Good texture with the crunch of the cheese crisped on top. But all I could taste was the flavor of the cheese. Not bad but is a bit of a one note bite. They were out of forks which made eating this a bit frustrating. Came at 7:45am on a Saturday and service is a little slow. Overall recommendation, come for the coffee but grab food and breakfast elsewhere.

Spyhouse, so many plants, design is super cute. A lot of great menu options, but o settled on the ham and cheese croissant for a little bite. I saw on the menu that they had seasonal kombucha options, so I went to the counter to inquire their flavors. They had 3 on tap, and since I saw tiny cups, I asked if I could try a hit of the flavors so I could decide. Barista #1 said she can't give samples out. Ok. Craft batch Kombucha can be quite vinegary so I asked about the Poison Apple Soda, which I was told was soda water, a caffeine base, apple and a cold foam top. I ordered that, and with the croissant it ran $15. I was quickly handed the Poison Apple Soda (aptly named) because it was neon green. I asked Barista #1 if there was artificial flavoring in it and she said yes with the attitude and facial expression like I'm absolutely insane for not foreseeing that this bev would be artificial. Barista #2 was closer so I just asked if I could be refunded bc I couldn't drink it, she asked if I wanted anything else instead and I said no, so she returned shortly with my receipt that she tossed toward me. Croissant was 5/10, interior design 10/10. There's a pool table, good beats, great lighting. There's remote workers tempting, businessmen chatting, friends meeting, families with children. This spot attracts everyone, there's always a line and steady foot traffic. I finished my croissant (after warming was slightly rubbery) and am feeling like I would like a latte with maple syrup but I'm scared to get back in line (insert emoji with hands covering eyes haha). Maybe a different barista combo would have made the overall experience a 10/10, but I'm still open come back another day to give it another go.

Such a beautiful cafe to hangout in. It's in a hotel and the vibes are excellent. Long wait but delicious coffee and so worth it. Me and my friend chatted by the fireplace for hours. We loved it!

Spyhouse has a really great vibe and a ton of seating, making it a solid spot to hang out or get some work done. The staff behind the counter are incredibly friendly too. I ended up trying their espresso tonic. Honestly, it wasn't amazing but it wasn't bad either, just a pretty standard, decent version of the drink. It has that classic dark espresso layered right on top of the clear tonic, and they garnish it with a little sprig of rosemary. It looks great and hits the spot if you just want something cold. They do have some food options in the case as well, though I didn't try any of it this time around. Definitely a cool place to chill for a bit.

Was staying at the hotel and was so lucky to have Spyhouse downstairs as I was able to get freshly made coffee every single morning. I am not usually a coffee drinker, but this place has great lattes. So smooth and not too sweet, which I love! I wish they had a medium-sized drink as their small is too small, and the larger one is a bit too big. I've always gotten the bigger size and ended up finishing it throughout the day!! My favorites - chai latte, spygirl (lavender/honey latte), solid gold (turmeric latte). Still have a few others that I want to try while I am still in MN. Definitely going to miss this spot when I go back home!

Loved the warm and comfortable ambiance. Black coffee was good! Service was excellent!

This is a unique Spyhouse location as it's in the lobby of a beautiful hotel that is in an old bank building. The lobby itself is very stylish, with big dark bookshelves, large plants, big fireplace, cozy and comfortable seating, tables, a pool table, etc. When we visited it was decorated for Christmas and that alone was worth the visit! The coffee was delicious and service good. My husband and I both ordered the seasonal "Shakespeare's Fool" which was delicious in decaf and regular. The latte art on top was a plus! The only downside or thing to know is that this location will not accept Spyhouse giftcards because it is part of the hotel. I came wanting to use one, so this was a bummer but I understand and the barista was very apologetic. As a side note about the business, it's impossible to check your giftcard balance online. So while I'd like to use my giftcard, I'm unsure if I will realistically be able to soon!

Spyhouse is connected to a hotel so you'll get a mixture of people staying and people working from home that decided to spend their day here. Where you order is tucked away in the back. When we came on a Tuesday around 230pm it wa's a 2 person operations. They seemed a bit frantic as a line of 6-7 was starting to build up. Not as warm and inviting as the place was. When we asked what a few of the drinks were, you could tell they were over it. But it was just a brief interaction that it didn't affect me much. They also had pretty soft spoken voices so when they make your drink and call out your name, don't be too far otherwise you might never hear them. We ordered: Solid Gold which has turmeric, ginger, and oat milk latte. It was sweetened with maple syrup and topped with pepper. Tonic Youth which is a mango vanilla espresso tonic garnished with rosemary. It comes iced only. I enjoyed the tonic youth a touch more. I think the mango wasn't quite strong but the rosemary came out quite well. The solid gold was yummy but turmeric drinks are one shake too much from being overbearing and I think that was the case. I would order it again but ask for a dash less of turmeric. The ambiance is picturesque. The lighting feels nature. There is enough greenery in the place to help you feel grounded. There are tables, solo desks, comfortable seating, places to chit chat, places to work that gives you options of how you want to spend your time here. There is also a pool table. We played it. But the people working nearby didn't look too happy. Oh well! We had fun. There was a ledge on the planters where we set our drinks.

Iced matcha with almond milk
Keanna W.

In town for work and wanted to find a local spot for matcha. This place turned out to be such a gem! It's not your average coffee shop--it's more of a cozy lounge vibe. As soon as you walk in, you notice the energy: people working on laptops, taking calls, catching up with friends, or just relaxing by the fireplace or at the high-top tables. The staff at the counter were friendly and welcoming, and the menu is straightforward and easy to navigate. I also loved that they have seasonal fall drinks, which was a nice touch. Definitely a great place to work, hang out, or just enjoy a good drink in a laid-back but stylish setting. What I ordered: An iced matcha latte with almond milk and honey. It was just right, without being overly earthy or sweet. I also ordered the chia pudding - which reminded me that I could do this delicious and nutritious breakfast at home. The peanut butter complimented it well and I liked the touch of fresh strawberries and strawberry preserves, it sweetened it wasn't too sweet. Definitely would go back again!

Wesley W.

Amazed by the ambiance here. Loved the warm and earthy decor with the tropical plants and open seating space. Reminded me of being at a resort. Very classy. I ordered my favorite drink from there called the caramella. Drink made to perfection by the friendly baristas. Wait time wasn't long.

Maia J.

I love Spyhouse! This was my first time going to the downtown location. It was so spacious and cozy. A great place to work or enjoy coffee solo or with a friend. The solid gold is a favorite of mine. I love that it leans more towards a spicy flavor than sweet. Always a hit! Luckily, this location wasn't super busy and I was able to get my drink pretty quickly. Being that it is located downtown, the parking situation isn't my favorite. But I'd definitely go back for a visit!

I wish I had come earlier so that I could have enjoyed the interior! Very impressive and wins the award for the most beautiful/impressive coffee shop decor/interior I've seen}! It's a former warehouse so the ceilings are really tall, yet its not one of those modern/minimalist warehouse type spaces. They've really done some cool things w/ the interior to make it more welcoming and there were a lot of people here enjoying their coffee & conversations, etc. I was interested in the fall seasonal menu as I'm a sucker for anything fall/pumpkin, etc. I got the pumpkin butter flat white, which comes in a small and cute 8 oz cup (and you can still get it to-go). I enjoyed it a lot! Definitely recommend for the vibes but the coffee as well :)

Momo Cafe is owned by the same family who own my favorite sushi restaurants: Momo Sushi in NE and AMA Sushi in Edina. This place was PACKED. We waited in a line to order that stretched all the way to the entrance of the quaint building. The vibe inside is quite cool but it is crowded so you might have to wait for someone to leave to grab a spot. We ended up only sticking around long enough to finish our food and then left to work somewhere else - it just was a bit too crowded for us to be productive and we didn't want to hog up space for other customers. I was pretty hungry while I was there so I ordered some meat momos. It took quite a bit of time for them to come out as they are made fresh, but they were delicious: incredibly savory and so fragrant. My recommendation is lean very far forward when eating these, one popped open while I was eating it and leaked all over me. Overall, great cafe and a good spot to grab a bite at too.

What a great experience!…read more The cafe is very nice and spacious! Lots of places to work or mingle. The black sesame latte with almond milk was amazing! Didn't try the food but nice to know they have some veggie options. Easy to find and great service - totally worth the trek to enjoy!

Several 2-4 person tables, a couch area near the fireplace, a handful of barstools looking out the window, and a communal table. They even have a few fun swing chairs! AMBIANCE I'd say this is a pretty buzzy spot - at least it was when I came in. The folks meeting and chatting outnumbered the folks working remote/solo, but with headphones on it wasn't too loud. DRINKS I got a hot chai, and it was good! Only downside is I ordered for here and they served in compostable cup - I prefer when ceramic / reusable mugs are given for in-store drinkers. FOOD I didn't order food, but saw several people getting lunch here and looked good. AMENITIES There's a bathroom attached within the building, and a water station. The outlets are a bit more sparse since not all tables are against the walls.

I had a hard time selecting a place to sit since I wanted to sit in many of the places. The staff was amazing! I ordered a cortado for here, and it was perfect and gorgeous. I ended up spilling it all over the floor (totally my fault). I went up to order a new one (planning to pay because again..my fault!) and the staff refused to let me pay and even brought me my new drink to the table I was at. Talk about customer service! It was my fault I spilled it and they would not let me help clean it up or buy a new one. Consider me a fan of this place!

***WORST COFFEE ON PLANET EARTH***…read more This review is only on their coffee, not the donuts (donuts are made by cardigan donuts), only just the really bad coffee. When you read about their coffee, they talk a lot about how their coffee is high on acidity, etc.. I don't think... that's not what makes their coffee really bad. Here is an example of why I think their coffee tastes such like crap. Just imagine making the Intenso (highest Nespresso, strength of coffee) coffee pod of Nespresso, that strong really bold very flavorful coffee taste. You'll get a dark rich color. Imagine RE-using that Nespresso coffee pod and brewing yourself another cup with it.... That's what FRGMT coffee tastes like.... Super watered down very acidic flavor that absolute crap coffee lack of any robust flavor. It just makes you think that you just got a watered down version of an espresso / coffee pod by brewing it again from a reused coffee pod, that's how this place makes you feel ... basically absolute crap taste. I've never had coffee this bad in my entire life, so that's why I think the coffee here is the worst coffee on the planet. Nobody wants to wake up in the morning and feel like a reused coffee pod. It makes you wonder what did they do with the first brew of the coffee lol. It literally tastes like they reuse the coffee grounds and you would therefore get that watered down coffee taste. Their coffee grounds that they use here should be investigated lol. No matter how you want to describe what this coffee is supposed to taste like or whatever the acidity description is on their website... it's basically crap coffee. Don't be fooled by their acidity in their coffee or whatever excuses they try to use bcuz it just tastes like basically watered down double filtered very watered down coffee. They charge the same expensive prices like anywhere else, but here you would get the watered down version that tastes like reused coffee grounds... ICK. Absolutely horrible, horrible type of coffee. It is almost as if they're using coffee grounds that have already been used before like they have already been processed before... very rancid coffee almost if that even is such a thing. Not to mention the people that work here act like and look like they hate their job and they just can't wait to go home. Never seen one person smile back there. Is it bcuz they know the coffee is bad?! Especially, being in a gorgeous open space of a lobby it makes you think different thoughts about what you're walking into, getting coffee service by extremely unhappy crabby folks. Very bad coffee but very good donuts and they don't even make their own donuts. This place wouldn't even exist without the cardigan donuts let's just say that. They also have their own merch lol. Bcuz customers want to wear their brand of really horrible coffee?! I am a local to SpyHouse & Dunn Bros for decades so my coffee palate I would say can debunk this place correctly lol. Even at Rise Bagel (a bagel place known for bagels!) does better coffee than here.

Caffetto is the quintessential Minneapolis coffee shop--they've got tasty, reasonably priced drinks…read more(including a robust selection of teas both hot and iced), good hours, and a real fun punk cafe vibe (lots of fun graffiti and vintage pinball machines). I think Caffetto kind of corners a market that no one else has by being open so late--most coffee shops are barely open past noon, and they're open until midnight! I've personally spent many a late night there finishing up work--it's a really cozy atmosphere, and the selection of pinball machines in the basement are the perfect study break activity. The staff are all great and even when there's a line, they get through it quick and are still able to offer great recommendations--while I usually prefer an iced green tea with no ice, I've tried the lattes, cold press, Thai coffee, and hot chocolate and have genuinely never had a bad drink here. The only thing is to make sure you watch your step if you're walking in the basement--even though it has seating and pinball and the bathroom, it's more of an unfinished space with uneven flooring and I personally rolled my ankle and fell there last year haha.

I had a triple decaf almond milk latte that tasted like it was caffeinated to me but didn't give me the buzz I'm so addicted to, that's when you know it's a good decaf. I love the coziness and the unique artwork in Caffetto. I look forward to coming back at an earlier hour to feed my addiction. But it's great to know I have a go to coffee shop for those afternoon cravings where the decaf tastes just as delightful! UPDATE- 2 hours later: there's additional seating and a pinball machine room in the basement, glad I went downstairs to the bathroom.
