I will be missing coming here a lot, but i enjoyed coming here every Tuesday's after my class, or before going to class. if you are ever in downtown this is a must visit spot. workers are amazing, and drinks were incredible. read more

I stayed in the hotel adjacent to Gray Fox Coffee, so when I woke up on a snowy morning, it was lovely to be able to pop over here for my morning coffee without having to leave the great indoors. It's counter service. They are located in an atrium in the Skyway, which might be hard to find if you start from the street. They have a variety of seating options from tables closer to the coffee shop to couches/chairs. They have specialty lattes, on top of which they print cute designs. I also like that they have coffee available in up to a 20oz for just $4! The coffee tasted good to me. They also have some matchas smoothies, as well as prepared food and grab-and-go. read more

I actually like my masala chai latte. It had the right amount of spice and chai tasting. Didn't feel like watered down. Place wasn't full or no line. Fast turn around. I know my friend didn't like her matcha drink, but my chai was good. Also good hang out spot before going to the Foshay observatory. I love the space and the ceiling. Felt super chill to just hang out there. read more

This place was in such a great spot. What a cool building! From out of town, so wanted to stop by a local coffee place while I had the morning open. Went here and had the caramel apple latte and an iced vanilla latte. The drinks were great!! I really loved my experience here, I wish I was there earlier to get some food. I loved my design on my drink :) read more

The loveliest Sunday afternoon coffee shop! We visited during our browsing at Dayton's Market, it was the perfect stop for some r&r before finishing our shopping. I had the most delicious salted caramel latte, and my friend had the Sunday Morning latte with maple syrup. If you order a hot latte it comes with a cute image on top! read more

Downtown Minneapolis has some pretty impressively attractive and comfortable coffee shops (as every cold-weather city should!). Spyhouse at the Emory Hotel had been my favorite for years, until I recently discovered this Gray Fox location, which has a more modern ambiance, superior coffee, and a more convenient location. Will definitely return to pass a couple of hours the next time I'm in the city. read more

Staying in downtown Minneapolis I was looking for a cool local coffee spot and Greyfox coffee was walking distance so I headed in that direction. Housed inside an office building the space is very cool! Open within an atrium of sorts. Different varieties of seating from comfy couches to table tops. There was only one person working so service was a little slow. But the coffee presentation and my egg sandwich were awesome. read more

Stopped here for a morning beverage before heading to the Foshay observation deck, which was conveniently located next door! I got a matcha latte, but unfortunately it tasted more of milk than matcha.. imagine a cup of milk with a splash of matcha. The staff was nice and the spot was cute, but I wish the flavor was there! read more

Solid coffee shop, but a tad difficult to find. Got a little lost, so it is a place that takes effort to find. However the spot is nicely designed and cozy, and the coffee is solid. They have a menu with their most popular as well as seasonal. Ordered their honey lavender iced latte. It was a bit sweet for my taste, but the coffee flavor was great. Highly recommend! read more

Happy to discover this superb cafe hidden inside the "Deluxe Plaza" building during an October 2024 public health conference. Lots of pluses. First, the nice jolt of espresso-level caffeine (Cafe Americano) was far superior to the free and weak coffee at the hotel. Second, the seating areas are conducive to doing a little bit of email catchup or chatting with a small group of friends. Third, this location is completely inside an office building (no street noise and likely to be a welcome respite in cold weather. One downside is that the service may be slower than expected depending on the time of day (would not recommend going to this place if you're in a rush). That said, I think it's an awesome place to chill out if you have 60 minutes to take a mental health break from attending a conference with 12,000 people. read more

The inside space is huge and very convenient to work in! It's located inside deluxe plaza with street parking available outside. I tried the nutty squirrel which was a latte with a mixed nut syrup that included hazelnut and almond. I wish it was a bit more on the sweeter side, but I usually prefer my drinks to be sweet. They had other specialty drinks available as well I'd love to try in the future. read more

To put it simply, this place didn't quite land for me. My whole goal was to get a great breakfast, coffee, and workspace. Even though I had vetted this out, it was pretty tough to find (inside a big office building) and once I got in there was no breakfast on the menu available. Even looking now (around 1pm), it's showing breakfast-only with online ordering, but when I was there is was only lunch available. The sandwich I had was made with care (nice staff) but didn't taste good. Warped spinach, sweet jam on savory turkey and just wasn't good. The nitro coffee was great, however. I think they do coffee well. Lastly, I wanted a nice work space and this certainly looks like it, however their music and speakers were skipping, crackling and cutting out.. noticeably! It happened every 3-5 seconds and was cranked up pretty loud, so it was incredibly distracting. I was already committed because of calls I had, and had to utilize noise cancelling headphones to try to get through. Swing and a miss, but surely not a bad place overall to try out if you need a great cup of coffee. read more

This Gray Fox Coffee & Wine Bar is located inside an office building, so you might pass it up your first time here (like I did). I ordered a medium iced clever bee which provided the afternoon pick-me-up that I needed. The Lavender and honey flavor came through well, and the drink was too sweet. Id definitely be back if I was in the area to try out their other specialty lattes or smoothies. read more

Love their unique latte offerings. Each one comes with a different picture printed on the foam. I got the fox latte, which has a maple syrup flavoring. It was delightful! They also have squirrels and other animals printed on other lattes. Also a really beautiful interior. They have a really high ceiling so the space feels very airy. read more

I had the Nutty Squirrel and a bacon cheddar breakfast bagel. I loved the latte art! The addition of garlic aioli to the breakfast sandwich was a unique touch. Other than that, neither the sandwich or the latte really stood out to me. I think I would have preferred the latte with extra shot of espresso. read more

Coffee? Good. Tea? Meh. Vibes? Wonderful! I stopped by twice during my time in Minneapolis. Admittedly given all the raving reviews, I had super high hopes (and it didn't help that the lines were always super long). This small bar was typically manned by 1-2 baristas, and they were efficient. I tried the Hot Peanut Butter Cup Latte and the Iced Elderberry Hibiscus. The latte was nice and strong, but the mix ins definitely settled (and I unfortunately didn't realize until I was practically done with it). The hibiscus tea was okay, but definitely lacked sweetness for my taste. The lounge area / surroundings were very clean and bright -- I'd describe the look and feel as very modern, but not too bright and white that it reminds me of a hospital. My coworkers came back almost every morning we were in town, which I think says a lot about the quality of the drinks. Note: if you order via the app/website, you won't get the cute machine-led latte art. So if you want the art, be sure to order in person! read more

Very nice presentation of latte art for which they use a laser printer. The stores are only open when the skywalk is open. Wish they had longer hours. read more

The vibe was very nice with the fireplace but food and drink were totally disappointing. The latte art doesn't look anything like in the menu. The matcha was very light and sweet. I felt like drinking green sugar water. The turkey sausage was extremely salty. The muffin was hard I wasn't able to bite. Price was not worth it. read more

We stumbled upon this spot after breakfast around the corner, very sleek & modern space. I had the blueberry matcha & I'll be reminiscing about it forever. No joke, one of the best matchas I've ever had. My girlfriend got the clever bee latte which was also lovely. If we weren't from out of town, we'd definitely be back. Our barista was quick & knowledgable. 10/10 read more

This coffee shop has a nice scenery and variety of different coffees! I ordered one of their holiday lattes, only thing that was different was a machine did the latte art very interesting take! - only giving this 3.5 because i think the latte lacked a bit of flavor. Overall a nice play and I'd give it another shot! They have happy hour be sure to check that out!! read more

Gray Fox's La Salle location is a cute coffee bar in a really pretty atrium downtown. They offer a set of typically 6 special drinks, most of which rotate seasonally. I've tried a few different drinks but keep coming back to the Clever Bee (lavender & honey syrups with espresso & milk). It's sweet without being overly sweet, it's always the right temperature, & it has a cute printed image on top! I would love to see maybe a sprinkle of salt on top to make the flavors pop, but the drink is super tasty as is. The baristas are always kind & helpful; my only complaint about Gray Fox is that it ends up being almost $10 for a single coffee after tip. Granted, chain coffee shops are around the same, it's just not an every day treat. read more

Ambiance was really great here (4 stars for ambiance). Very relaxing, chic, sophisticated. Service was okay- the barista was kind. We ordered the masala chai and it was just ok- In retrospect I wish I ordered a coffee because maybe that would have been a better choice. I have high expectations of my chai (and especially masala chai) so I was hoping this would have been up to those standards. However it was okay at best. It tasted very much like chai from a box (which it was). I didn't get to give this spot another chance because vitality roasting down the road stole my heart for the rest of my trip. read more

Skip the breakfast and just go for the coffee. The breakfast sandwich on a croissant seemed taken straight from the freezer to the microwave. The croissant was burnt and dry. The purple smoothie was fairly tasty but honestly really hard to drink with the paper straws. It is a nice place to meet others/work/study. read more

One of the more popular coffee spots downtown, so decided to stop by early Thursday morning for a pick-me-up. Small line to order but the staff works through everyone quickly. Opted for the 16 oz. Americano ($3ish) and a Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich ($7). Coffee isn't too bad but not as strong as I would have hoped. The breakfast sandwich is densely packed with a layering of bacon egg and cheese. The croissant was an odd circular shape and very greasy. Could have used more kick in the egg to balance out the meal. Food did take some time to come out but not egregiously. There is plenty of seating inside if wanting to stay as well. read more

Gray fox is one of my favorite coffee places in the twin Cities, I love the location and the setup of the shop, it's in downtown in a very great wide spread out location, so plenty of room to work or just catch up with someone or take a break! I love the decor here, the black couches are beautiful and the marble tables are very modern chic, perfect pic opportunities! As for the coffee it's so good and cute! I love how the flavors change every so often, and they have flavors for everyone, more teas, mochas, and regular coffee taste for everyone. I loved their pumpkin latte and donut latte the best so far, I want to try so many more, I have yet to try their smoothie bowls but those are next on my list! I just wish they were open on weekends as well! read more

Pretty little cafe in the building lobby, fairly busy for morning breakfast. I thought the coffee (drip and cappuccino) was ok but not exactly specialty. They do have cute stencils for the milk drinks, but there is a lot of good coffee in Minneapolis and would probably have preferred to go some place else that has the flavor game more on point. Breakfast sandwich with egg and bacon was pretty good, as was the turkey sausage. Lovely ambiance and ample seating. If you are looking for a trendy atmosphere this is a solid choice. read more

Let there be light! One thing I love about Gray Fox is the high towering atrium that let's in a lot of light from every which way. Yes, the Lattes are good, the seats are comfy, the service is good, but what gets me to wonder to the other side of downtown is the space, I even love their Very Berry Lemonade...so yummy. There is a uniqueness to how open yet inviting Gray Fox feels and that keeps me coming back every time. After the rush hour passes through I like to just enjoy one of their comfy plush velvet seats with pink accent pillows, admire the rose gold figurines, and their mellow soundtrack. Sometimes less is more and Gray Fox definitely got that concept down. read more

I'm seriously kicking myself! For how often I walk by, I've never actually purchased a coffee from Gray Fox. I stopped by a few weeks ago for a quick hot beverage and was so impressed by the open space and extensive beverage menu. I feel like there's something for everyone here. My latte was amazing, and it doesn't hurt it came with this cute lil penguin on top. Flavors were good and it was a great price for something so unique and such good quality. You'll really love this place for the atmosphere and the ample seating. I feel like I could grab a good book and hang out! read more

I've been to this coffee shop multiple times but it never fails to impress me. Each experience is even better than the last ! First let's talk about ambiance. This place is architecturally beautiful and modern. The black furniture is inviting and the rose gold and marble tables add a nice accent! Onto the workers. They are always so friendly and welcoming and each one has a smile on their face. They are always down to give you a recommendation of what to try next and they are very personable. Lastly and most importantly, the drinks! Each one is carefully curated and unique. They have seasonal drinks that have gorgeous prints on them. They're always coming out with new and unique flavors too! My favorites have to be Fox in the Woods, Amaretti Cookie (a past seasonal one), Cherry Blossom Tea Latte, and lastly, Chai Love Pumpkin, a current seasonal drink. I love that you can taste every flavor noted in the description and not one is overpowering. It's also not too sweet but not too bitter. Just right! This is a coffee shop you don't want to miss. read more

Fast service and the iced coffee itself is very good but the pumpkin drink tastes more spicy than pumpkin or caramel. Which i don't mind but if that's not your thing it's very nutmegy! They were out of most ( all but 4) pastries so i didn't try any but they looked good! read more

Great coffee amazing workers a little difficult to find but I will definitely be back

The coffee was good. I ordered an Egg Bake. It was small, cold, and rubbery. Despite its small size it was packed with chewy chunks of sun dried tomatoes and stringy spinach. I took it back and told them it was cold. The person at the counter said she would heat it up. I waited for a few minutes and then went back and told her it was terrible and I wanted my money back. She fumbled with the computer a while and asked if cash would be OK. I said yes. She gave me my money back. It was $8. She did not offer an apology. read more

Yes, I'm a millennial and yes, I did order the Millennial Pink drink (strawberry, beetroot powder, espresso, oat milk). I really liked the drink! It went well with a yummy old fashioned donut (Cardigan Donuts) that I got at Gray Fox too. Aside from the food and drink, I also enjoyed the Gray Fox space. It's nicely decorated and there are lots of tables and comfortable seating too. Great place for those looking to do some work or hang out. You'll especially adore this place if you're a fan of rose gold -- the color can be found in their decor and on their cups! I'll be sure to visit if I ever travel to Minneapolis again! read more

Stayed at the Curio Marquette in Minneapolis and was able to access Gray Fox Coffee through the skyway system. Gray Fox is attached to the W hotel downtown. I ordered the Winter Botanical a few times and it was the best latte I've ever had. I really liked the unique combination of flavors in the drink, yet it was not overly sweet. There was juniper, rosemary, lavender, and cardamon infused in the latte. The space and decor here are beautiful and a great place to study and work if you happen to be downtown. The only con is I wish it was open a little later than 7pm, but it seems like a lot of businesses in the skyway close pretty early. Maybe it's a Minneapolis thing. Overall, I would definitely come back here if I were downtown. read more
