The butter croissant was perfection. Plenty of seating to work or visit. The coffee is fantastic. read more

This is a very cute space with a lot of small table options for working or studying from a coffee shop. It was my first time in a Spyhouse and the barista working was so helpful in navigating the menu and making drink recommendations. I ended up selecting the Cherry Styles which reminded me of a cherry tootsie pop - delicious. They had outlets readily available and guest WiFi. I found free street parking just a block away and think this will be a new regular spot for me. read more

The vibe here is classic coffee house. Relaxing, lots of morning light streaming in, exposed brick walls, chill music playing. They also have a lot of places to sit, which can be lacking in many coffee shops. The espresso I ordered was pretty good, too. What I did not like at all was the wait time. I was there for over 15 minutes from getting in the 3 person line to leaving with my espresso. The staff were doing their best, but it seemed like they needed another person helping out as the 2 people were running about doing lots of extra stuff. read more

Came here to work on some homework with a friend. I got a seasonal drink that was a lemon flavor (I can't remember exactly what it was), but it was delicious! I really wanted to try their vegan cinnamon roll, but they were out so I got the brownie instead which was good, but a little rich for my taste. I really loved the interior, they had a lot of plants and the decor was super cool. The staff was very friendly as well. I will certainly be back. read more

Come for the chocolate croissant with barely any chocolate and stay for the comically small cups of water. I'll also never understand coffee sizes and they make it more confusing by calling out your order in different way than ordered/listed on the menu. Loved the cinnamon roll. read more

Had a Miel it was alright, the lemon bread was really dense but also alright. Good atmosphere though

We love coming here, great location and great coffee! The character in the space is so fun. Everyone there is nice. We always try to stop for a coffee when we are nearby. Today's drink of choice was the cortado and look at how pretty it is! read more

Spyhouse Coffee Roasters - Cortado - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

One of my favorite coffee shops to stop into during the semester, and even over the summer! I usually enjoy the chocolate croissant and the pastries are baked fresh daily from patisserie46. This space also has big windows and tons of plants. I usually have no trouble ordering because the baristas tend to be patient when I'm looking over the menu. I frequently opt for seasonal specialty drinks since I've been there almost everyday last semester! Pro tip use contactless pay you can earn points that way. This location is moderately sized and dogs are welcomed if you're quickly in and out! If you're lucky you may even see some cute pups in sweaters during the winter :) read more

Ugh! How come the coffee here is so tasty. I sat here for a couple hours and got two drinks. A simple iced caramel latte with almond milk and light syrup. I also got a pumpkin spice girl. Both of these were amazing. Full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere of this place is quiet, cozy and comfortable. There are plenty of people buzzing about; studying or passing through but overall it is a lovely spot. I would recommend getting a coffee and hipster/ new age vibes aren't for you get it for a walk around the lake! It's super close ;) read more

Spyhouse has excellent varietal coffees. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. If you're lucky, River will be your barista.

After spending five years in Seattle, I have high expectations for coffeeshop culture. This spot is the closest I've found to what I loved about Seattle coffeeshops. Baristas that grind, weigh, and pull every single shot. None of that automated BS. Minimal menu, with thoughtful seasonal offerings. A latte that always tastes delicious and no charge for alternative milks. The space itself is perfectly cozy and intentional. The ideal space to work from for a few minutes or a few hours. read more

Spyhouse Coffee Roasters - Carmella Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Love Spyhouse Coffee! I've been to 3 of their locations and the coffee is consistently good. My favorite is their trademarked Carmella (a caramel vanilla latte)!! It's so creamy and not overly sweet. The barista was very friendly and made out drinks pretty quick. We also got Spyhouse Drinking Glasses to use at home! The space is very cosy and a good place for catching up with a friend, reading a good book, or working for an afternoon. Check them out if you are in the area visiting or a Minneapolis resident! read more

They have rude manager there. Said I couldn't have my dog there. An 8lb toothless Yorkie. When I've been there in the past my dog was greeted by employees with a lot awwws she's so cute, etc. One employee even said she's welcome anytime. Very inconsistent. But more than anything the manager should not be in customer service. read more

The vanilla orange latte was very good !! One of the best coffee i have had recently. Love the vibe of the place. Would definitely come back again. Just wished there were some more bakery options. read more

Spyhouse makes great coffee! It is very balanced- never too sweet, never too bitter, etc. However, their pastries are nothing to write home about, and are very overpriced. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the vibes are always good. I have also, always had great experiences with the employees. However, this is not a good homework or work space. They block off all outlets, making it so you cannot charge your devices, and the lighting is very dim. Therefore, it is hard to work in. Coffee is a bit overpriced for what you get. However, definitely a good splurge once in awhile. I have never had a hard time finding parking at this location, and there is plenty of free street parking. Therefore, overall I recommend you give spyhouse a try! read more

The barista was super helpful considering we had never been there before. She broke it down from hot to cold and sweet and not sweet. I got the spygirl and loved it except it wasn't as sweet as she made it sound but I prefer sweeter drinks. I added some more simple syrup and that fixed it for me. The actual coffee taste was very good too! read more

I mean my cappuccino was tasty. But I'm not sure where these coffeehouses are going with these prices. Tasty, but what the actual hell...

Decided to give this coffee shop a visit while on a trip to MN for my daughter's volleyball tournament. I like to venture out & try new places when traveling as we don't have many options back home (Hawaii). After looking at the pictures via Yelp and reading reviews, we decided to give the Spy Girl drink a try, which is a lavender & honey latte. Needless to say, the drink was 'ono (delicious) & was a favorite. I ordered 6 drinks total, 5 Spy Girls & 1 Matcha Latte. When I received my drinks, they looked nothing like the pictures (no cute design with the foam, etc.), which was a bummer but didn't matter since we were going to consume them almost instantly. My only gripe was the service wasn't as friendly as I've witnessed them give to customers prior to me. 4 of my drinks came in a carrier and the barista left the other 2 without, expecting me to carry them in my other hand while opening the door to exit?? I asked for another carrier and she looked at me and said "what?" As if it were an absurd request. I repeated myself in which she provided me with an additional carrier and whispered something under her breath to the other barista. I'm not a MN local but in Hawaii *most places end a service with a "thank you" or "have a nice day" but didn't receive that here. Anyways, I'd visit another Spy House location if the opportunity arises but did not go back to this location during my trip. The coffee was great but service was sub par. *4 stars for the coffee being so 'ono. I would have given it 5 had the service been better. read more

Location - Loud, contemporary music with country overtones. There are lots of tables with outlets available. The store is a bit harsh in ambiance and there is a lot of sound bouncing around. There are a few cushioned booths but mostly wooden seating with tables--Great for working on a laptop. Staff - The staff were helpful in making my coffee choice and gave me some options to consider. Coffee - I ordered the MN Women's option and was pleased with the flavors. Definitely far from a traditional coffee but very tasty. read more

Please read whole review "Since the beginning, we wanted Spyhouse to be a welcoming environment for our customers and communities; we didn't want a niche café that felt exclusive. We aim to be a destination café for the Twin Cities and open up the coffee community to all who want to be a part of it." This is from the Spyglass website in the about section. I was really excited to try this place as I am visiting from out of town. There were several local coffee places to chose from yet I was intrigued by their trademark offerings. 1) there was no welcome upon entering. 2) one of the employees seemed to be on a break, yet when a few friends stopped in jumped up. 3) it took a while to be acknowledged yet a great conversation between the two employees. Now for the coffee...I tried the Carmella. The barista did an outstanding job and the coffee was excellent. I also tried the monkey bread and loved it. I would come back, but lower my expectations for a welcoming experience. read more

Gorgeous and cozy coffee shop in the heart of Uptown Minneapolis. If you are a coffee shop/cafe connoisseur, you'll need to add Spyhouse to your list. The coffee and different drinks are very good. They serve a wide variety of hot and cold options as well as some more unique seasonal items. They also have pastries to go with your drink. But what I enjoyed about this place is the decor and atmosphere. The wood and exposed brick interior creates a warm homey and cozy atmosphere. There paintings and mirrors and candles add aesthetic touches to enhance the atmosphere. The latte art is beautiful. Even the coffee mugs have little Minnesota's outlined in gold. read more

Visiting from Cincinnati area and heard this is the place to get coffee so we check it out. I love the vibe of the aesthetics and the cafe, but as for the rest- kind of underwhelming. The staff and service was kinda of non memorable- not problematic, but just kinda of- nothing. I ordered a cold brew and added cream as I always take my go to bev- it was not "my cup of tea"-I like my coffee to be smooth & sweet (not sugary-but the actual coffee notes to melt in my mouth)-this cup had sharp/sour notes. I didn't ask if they use different roasts/varieties for different drinks or on rotation, so maybe I'd like something else they have-but as for this visit- not a big fan. read more

Airy cafe with expertly crafted espresso drinks, a variety of teas, non dairy milks, and cups for self serve water. Sweet and savory pastries in a case by the counter. Pay cash, card, or by phone. Friendly staff that work quickly to keep the line moving (it's always busy here!). Gender neutral accessible restroom in the back. Parking out front on the street for an hour. Plenty of outdoor seating in the summer, as well as comfy indoor booths. read more

I'm a big Spyhouse Coffee fan. This is the first time I've been in the shop on Hennepin. Coffee in a big non-take-out mug is so good. Always enjoy the art and it's a nice touch to have a mug with our great state on it. The taste is why I come back. Got a nice booth by the window. Most people on a late afternoon weekday are working on their computers so noise is non-existent. Great place to work, or sit back, rest, and enjoy the coffee and music. read more

So many many def feelings about the cafe... so I'm just going to keep it kind of short. Kind of. I ordered a shot of espresso, a cappuccino, an apple fritter and a seasonal sweet pie (cranberry and lime). Yes, I over ordered but I wanted to try a variety of things to get a good sense what they had to offer. So for a coffee shop, I come for the coffee. And honestly the coffee was disappointing. Through the espresso, I could taste the coffee was a bit tired. That said the barista did do a great job of getting the most possible out of the coffee. 3 stars for the coffee, 4 for the shot, so 3.5 all in. The cappuccino was worse though. There was some off flavor that I can only assume was something with the milk. It almost tasted as if there was some cleaning detergent left in the steam pitcher. I guess it could have been a poorly pulled shot, but that seems incongruent with the previous extraction. Solid 3 at the very best. The saving grace of the visit was the baked good action. Both of the choices I made were phenomenal. Just delicious. Please please go check out the baked goods. Have some coffee, but relish the baked goods. O. M. G. 5 stars without question. read more

I wouldn't recommend this cafe to any person of color. They racially discriminated against me and my family, completely ignored us standing in front of the register for 15 minutes. When I walked further down the counter to get their attention, staff quickly returned to the register serving the white woman who was standing behind me. And ignored my protests that I was first. After that I attempted to get the WiFi password from another staff member and was completely ignored. I wanted two things when I woke up this morning, to use my laptop to complete work in a public space and to drink a cup of coffee, Spyhouse on Hennepin denied me of both. read more

Great coffee, customer service and atmosphere. Staff is very friend. Awesome place to study read more

One of my go-to spots downtown. There's really no bad option. If you are unsure of what to get just ask the staff. They are extremely knowledgeable. read more

A fantastic option for coffee, either to go or to stay. I recommend you stay, in my opinion the prices are a bit pricey, but I see it as you are paying also for the atmosphere, which for me, lasts for a few hours of great productivity. Atmosphere: This is one of my favorite spots. You probably won't need your own headphones, they have a great variety of playlists that do not distract from your conversation or work. Make sure to explore a little, there is more seating than you see when you first step in. I personally enjoy the back room, it is slightly quieter, fewer people, and great natural lighting. Coffee: The staff knows what they're talking about, so if you have questions be sure to ask. I personally love their cold brew. No it's not a cold press, it's real cold brew that will be sure to jump start your day or work session. They also have the classic variety as well as their own menu of u inquest creations. read more

Spyhouse Coffee Roasters - Cold Brew "to go" - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Spyhouse is a Minneapolis staple for a reason... the drinks are well-made, the atmosphere curated skillfully. Not my favorite place to get work done, but a cool spot to meet a pal and catch up. read more

**Disclaimer: I don't drink coffee, this is for the tea drinkers.** Their tea options are decent. They get their tea from TeaSource (which is excellent btw) and another place (I forgot the name). They had black, green, and white tea so I appreciate the variety. Spyhouse actually brews their tea correctly and they time it so it doesn't over brew. If your a bit of a tea snob like I am, this is a big deal. Unfortunately, there were a few downsides to this location. The places is packed and there wasn't any seating available. I ended up getting a tables in a back corner right by the bathroom. I'm gonna be honest....it was kinda awkward. I also wish there were more options for tea like a London Fog or Matcha Latte. In conclusion: The drinks are pricier, although well made. Not the best selection of non-coffee drinks, but they brew their own tea correctly. Finding a spot is tricky so maybe come early or be forced to make awkward eye contact with all the bathroom goers :) read more

Being from out of town, I was roaming the area and caught sight of Spyhouse. Vaguely remembering my Airbnb host noting it to be her favorite coffee shop, I stopped by and was met with a quaint little coffee shop, conducive for studying or just to meet up and have a chat over an amazing cup of coffee. I did like my coffee - it was a drip coffee so I can't attest to much else and I do love their mission of sustainability and giving back. However, the only reason why I'm sitting at a 3.5 star rating (rather than a 4) is that my barista did have a slightly pretentious/holier-than-thou vibe when I was asking him about the different coffees. Or maybe I wasn't too pleasant either, having hadn't had my caffeine for the morning. Ah well. Great coffee, cool cafe otherwise, it'd definitely make it into my coffee shop rotation if I lived in the area! read more

Coffee is a bit bitter and the music is loud. But if you like more of a "club" atmosphere while you sip and do your work, then this is the place for you. Everything about this place is hipster and old fashion while having a modern edge. I like the coffee bar where I can work on a stool with a big surface. Some issues with the wifi but they were helpful and helped me resolve them. Lots of plants if that's your thing. read more

Hipster vibe. Fine for studying or hanging out (though a tad dark). Service took quite awhile although they weren't super busy. Also over priced in my opinion. I paid just under $7 for a vanilla latte with soy. read more

I love this spyhouse but it's just way too crazy busy. It's always packed, it's always loud and there's almost never anywhere to sit. That being said, they always play the best music (the baristas control it with their own playlists), and they make the coffee really good! It's a very cute and quirky location, the fun lights everywhere, the black tile ceiling, the pretty vintage pieces hanging on the walls.. every spyhouse location is so different and fun and amazing in their own ways! It has to be my favorite cafe chain. My favorite drink here is the almond milk mocha, it tastes great and it's not too sweet but it's not bitter either. Their teas are great too, and their lavender latte is boooooomb. read more

Awesome staff! Tried the caramella with oat and it was delicious. Best coffee I have had in Minneapolis. Also tried the A/C cooler and I would highly recommend. The jasmine flavor really comes across and the drink is very refreshing. Also great that the place is open late ! read more

Very satisfied with my experience at Spyhouse last week. My group came in on a Friday night 20 minutes before closing. We had just gotten ice cream down the street and a few of us were getting sleepy despite having a long night ahead of us. Spyhouse was practically the only coffee shop still open at 10:30 PM. I wanted a pour over, but it was close to closing so I settled for drip coffee. Nothing spectacular, but it was close to closing so that's understandable. What made my experience at Spyhouse memorable was the service. Very friendly staff and they even offered us free refills since they were closing down shop for the night! Another plus for Spyhouse is that it's spacious and cozy. Lots of chairs and tables for customers. Skip Caribou and Starbucks, and give Spyhouse a try! read more
