Spyhouse Espresso Bar and Gal Lery the

The service I encountered was mucho bad. I have no desire to return to this place, the baristas talked amongst themselves, exhibiting attitudes not uncommon to McDonalds staff, or Carl Jr. more

I love The Spyhouse, I go there often since I have friends that live nearby. They have a hipster-y feel to the place, the baristas play what music they want and it's always great tunes. They have all the usual coffeeshop drinks plus a few notable drinks that only they make. I recommend The Spygirl (Coldpress, Espresso mixed with a vanilla shot), several flavors of milkshakes, and the Tokyo Rose (not sure what's in it, but it's delicious). And try the Hummus! It's great! They have a counter full of different events happening around town which is always worth a look. There are usually several art students in there being that it is so close to the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD). Mostly working on projects or on their computers or relaxing. If you have a laptop with a wireless card, bring it along and take advantage of the free wi-fi. I love this coffee shop! more

Wonderful corner bar on Eat Street (Nicollet). Huge selection of drinks, several pastry choices, and cool atmosphere for people watching or studying. more
