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.
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.
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
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.
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!
- 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.
- 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
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.
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.
Stacy Bo BacyJuly 25, 2021Perfect spot to get coffee, work remotely, or chat with a friend. Much quieter to sit outside than inside.
Georgia AnsleyDecember 4, 2015Loved the coffee, great atmosphere and layout, sassy workers are my only complaint.
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.
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 :)
Zeke FrancoJuly 2, 2013Try the Latte e Miele (Honey Latte). The honey adds a little extra comfort to an already delicious drink.
The best coffee in MSP. They care about quality, and the environment is unbeatable: authentically hipster, young, and fresh.
The iced coffee here is CRAZY good. Best in the Twin Cities.
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!
Good music and fantastic espresso. Seriously good coffee. They have an interesting Instagram, too.
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!
Michelle HumAugust 6, 2013Great for getting work done. Excellent coffee, good music selection...interesting people
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! :)
- 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.
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.
- Now featuring a $5 minimum for cards. Nothing on the menu is more than $5. What could possibly go wrong?
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 work
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.
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.
Bldg is awesome! Drinks are pretty good. Baristas are ok. Smiles are hard to come by. But at least they are open late.
- Shittiest Internet in the world. Great coffee. So unfortunate.
Jason ScharfencampMarch 5, 2012It's not that the wifi was slow, it kept cutting out on me. If you need a reliable connection I wouldn't recommend it.The music was good until they started skipping songs mid song.
Simeon GboloDecember 15, 2010Try cheering up the employees, they seem really stressed all the time! It gets busy!
Javen SwansonAugust 9, 2010Great coffee shop but agree with the others that the wifi sucks. Still worth your visit, though.- 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.
Try the Mexican Mocha for a cool twist on an otherwise common drink.- John KeymerSeptember 30, 2011Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars, Chair and the Spygirl are all good choices.
They really know how to make the Mata Hari at this location.

"Great coffee roaster specializing in espresso based variety drinks and beans. Simple pastries if you’re around early but plenty of wattage throughout the day. Try the Star Fox 64 or a macchiato."
C Rey - 7.9
"The Iced White Peach Tea is delicious and great on a hot day."

"No wonder they were voted the best! A huuuge selection of caffeinated drinks, high quality roast, chill vibe and friendly staff. What more would you need?"
