David BanAugust 30, 2014Tons of space, sleek mid-century decor and natural light make for an awesome place to get some work done. Their self-roasted coffee is top notch, too.

City PagesOctober 4, 2013The Matahari is always a safe bet: espresso blends with lush milk, a thread of honey, and warm cinnamon spice for the perfect fall standby. Of course, it is also finished with a little latte art.Upvote6Downvote
Elizabeth RiceDecember 10, 2016Stopped by for a quick vegan hot chocolate when needing to kill some time. Love the latte art, and not extra sweet! Will be back to try the croissants and pastries
UpvoteDownvote- Lina RSeptember 17, 2012Love: 1. Spyhouse Gold Tea. 2. Open until midnight! 3. Lots of outlets. 4. Comfy seats at the counters. Don't love: 1. Sometimes internet is wonky. 2. Can get really crowded, especially in the winter.UpvoteDownvote
I love this location for all of the creative people it attracts. However, It is always packed. The Iced Spy Girl is my favorite.

Florence WongAugust 2, 2016Great ambience, good (but tad pricey) coffee. Great place for relaxing or chatting. Seems to be a popping place. A little hard to focus, since there's very cheerful music with words.UpvoteDownvote
Maggie BensonJanuary 16, 2015Beautiful modern atmosphere for coffee. A great place to bring people from out of town to show off the mad Minnesota roaster's skills!

Stacy Bo BacyJuly 25, 2021Perfect spot to get coffee, work remotely, or chat with a friend. Much quieter to sit outside than inside.

Chase MaxwellNovember 8, 2015The espresso is acidic and just disappointing. The drip is similarly acidic. I come here for the atmosphere—it's always abuzz with people and the lighting is gorgeous in the late afternoon.UpvoteDownvote- City PagesAugust 5, 2014Spyhouse radiates London art school circa 1962. Why? It's all smart, it's all stylish, and it's all wearing peg pants in gray-green tones. Read more

Heavy TableSeptember 9, 2015We've written many a review here, fueled by the seasonal signature: from a lemon-rosemary or cherry-almond latte to espresso tonic, the result is always tasty.UpvoteDownvote
Mahina ReyesApril 4, 2016The chais here are great. I love that the chair is spicy and when I'm in the mood for sweet adding vanilla does the trick.UpvoteDownvote
Georgia AnsleyDecember 4, 2015Loved the coffee, great atmosphere and layout, sassy workers are my only complaint.

Kelsi ManleyAugust 21, 2012Had the most lovely experience here. Ditch the corporate coffee scene and enjoy a macchiato or espresso from here. Delicious. Awesome environment :)Upvote2Downvote
marissa GrimsrudJanuary 29, 2014I loved the cold press coffee even on the -25 degree Minnesota winter day. It was toasty warm in the coffee shop!UpvoteDownvote
Good music and fantastic espresso. Seriously good coffee. They have an interesting Instagram, too.UpvoteDownvote
The best coffee in MSP. They care about quality, and the environment is unbeatable: authentically hipster, young, and fresh.UpvoteDownvote
Zeke FrancoJuly 2, 2013Try the Latte e Miele (Honey Latte). The honey adds a little extra comfort to an already delicious drink.UpvoteDownvote
The iced coffee here is CRAZY good. Best in the Twin Cities.

Mayoor RaiNovember 28, 2015Really cool atmosphere. I had a pour over which was very well prepared.UpvoteDownvote
ak310iJuly 21, 2013If you like chai tea, but need a pick-me-up, try the Mata Hari. It even comes iced for those hot summer days!Upvote1Downvote- City PagesDecember 12, 2012Voted top 10 coffee shops! Sip and savor the complexly flavored beans. Spyhouse makes the sort of coffee drinks where tasting notes are actually relevant.Upvote5Downvote
Michelle HumAugust 6, 2013Great for getting work done. Excellent coffee, good music selection...interesting peopleUpvoteDownvote
Certain pricks who work here will jealously guard the register and tell you all about how to leave an electronic tip. As if regulars (or anybody) doesn't know how to add a tip or put money in the jar.UpvoteDownvote- LilyJanuary 13, 2015Try the caramella- it's one of their specialties and it's fantastic.UpvoteDownvote
John KeymerMarch 11, 2012Wifi passwords change regularly, but the baristas don't. Be nice or you may receive a little something extra with your drink! :)UpvoteDownvote
Spicy Mexican Mocha is great with soy milk too!UpvoteDownvote- Now featuring a $5 minimum for cards. Nothing on the menu is more than $5. What could possibly go wrong?Upvote1Downvote
Get the Carmella, trust me, my favorite show is the SopranosUpvoteDownvote
Amy MuchkoJuly 5, 2013I went through the reviews and the majority are bad because the hipster pretension in this place is enough to make you lose your lunch.Upvote2Downvote
Nick GainesMay 14, 2012Spyhouse's WiFi passwords are annoyingly long and none of the staff ever know the correct phrase. Kind of irritating when you come to enjoy some coffee and workUpvote1Downvote- Amy MuchkoJuly 5, 2013I can not stand Spyhouse. Why? The pretentious environment plus it is over-priced. Also I was asked if I was interested in buying something when I went inside to buy something after I had already had.Upvote1Downvote
Jaws LandJanuary 5, 2013The five dollar minimum on credit cards isn't too hard to meet, but if you're just looking for a cup of coffee, bring cash.UpvoteDownvote
- John KeymerSeptember 30, 2011Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars, Chair and the Spygirl are all good choices.Upvote1Downvote
- Shittiest Internet in the world. Great coffee. So unfortunate.UpvoteDownvote
Bldg is awesome! Drinks are pretty good. Baristas are ok. Smiles are hard to come by. But at least they are open late.Upvote2Downvote
Spyhouse makes beautiful (and delicious) lattes.
