Cool ceiling!
Holly B.

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.

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.

Cortado
Kate K.

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!

Vanilla orange crush latte & a butter croissant.

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 :)

Cool window hang out spot! So great they had the always amazing baked goods from Patisserie 46 (not pictured, but I bought several to bring home). Great coffee in a no waste mug! ;) I would visit again!

great coffee stop to stop and do some work in. great environment with some very nice baristas. ruby was very helpful in helping me chose a latte and i ended up with a fantastic sesame latte and i stayed so long i got another drink which was the jasmine tea lemonade and it was FANTASIC. great vibe i will be back!!

Carmella Latte
Ben K.

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.

Spyhouse!

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!

Vanilla orange crush

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.

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!

Spygirl
Nety D.

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!

Coffee bar.

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.

Carmela..''twas delicious
Just One O.

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.

Met up with a friend to go over some work related things at Momo Cafe a few months ago and had a…read moregreat experience. We went late on a weekend morning and the place was packed. 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!

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 jetted from work early to try this coffee shop because I needed a change of scenery and…read more.. well... it's Tuesday. :) I was surprised to find that the cafe was packed at 2:30 in the afternoon, but got lucky enough to snag an intimate table in the corner, perfect for reading a book in peace! 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.

Their large espresso latte comes with four shots of espresso. My little nephew likes to get the hot chocolate with one shot of espresso.

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 :)

This place is fantastic! I went here prior to getting my hair done across the street for a meeting…read more There is huge space that is set up perfectly for working from coffee shop, which i truly love and appreciated. 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.

They're always so friendly, quick to offer suggestions, and generally just great people; every single one of them. My go-to is an iced vanilla or hazelnut coffee paired with a puppy dog tail! I've also had their famous cinnamon rolls, scones, cinnamon coffee cake, and quiche, all of which I've ordered again and again. The portions are pretty generous, especially the rolls, so I usually split them with a friend or two. Their space isn't very big, but it still offers a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating.

To top it off, their prices are unbeatable, they offer a treat to first-time guests, and they have a punch card system for returning frequent flyers like myself!

The interior of the space is small, and fills up quickly most days, especially weekends! Staff have the conveyor belt moving and you can expect quick and efficient service! Definitely not as aesthetic of a spot as other Twin Cities coffeeshops and bakeries, but you probably aren't headed there for the decor. What the space lacks in visual appeal, it more than makes up on in taste! The Cinnamon Bun is extra large, perfectly baked with crispy exterior and chewy inside, smothered in the best frosting you've ever had! Pair it with your favorite coffee order and your morning just got a million times better! Don't hesitate to venture into their other offerings as well...the caramel roll is top notch! This spot should be on anyone's MUST VISIT list when coming to the Twin Cities! Walk around nearby Lake of the Isles after for the perfect day!

When I went it was decorated in Christmas decor with the theme of monkeys lol. The drinks were reasonably priced and had everything from simple lattes and cappuccinos to barista favorites which are more so speciality coffee drinks. I recommend checking those drinks out if you want to try something different. The seating area isn't typical cafe style. It's mainly couches, chairs and tables as if you're sitting in a house or lounge. Staff was fun and energetic with good recommendations. The most fascinating part is that there's an antique market connected to the coffee shop that you can walk right into. The store seems endless. So much to look at. Probably the biggest antique store I've seen locally. Highly recommend.
