Cute little urban coffee shop in Lynhurst. I hung out for a little bit and had a mocha, that's it…read morebut it was actually a perfect mocha. The ideal balance of sweetness, not overpowering the great coffee flavor. And they make their own syrups! I didn't know that was a thing. They are clearly popular in the neighborhood because they've always been very populated when I've been there. They have a display case with some bakery items but they are clearly hanging their hat on the coffee experience. Parking is actually kind of tricky, but that's the only real knock. That's city life, baby. My barista was working hard during my recent visit, but also maintained a cheery conversation with me so I just really like it here.

Coffee is excellent! United Americano was perfect…read more Street parking was easy to find and they also have an outdoor space. I wish they had a gluten free bakery item and more comfortable seating. Lime was long but moved quickly with decent service.

I have a love / anxiety relationship with how different coffee can be at different establishments…read more That being said, I get a hankering for different coffees from different places. This is one on my love it list. The atmosphere and charm of @spyhousecoffee in St.Paul is simplistic and classic. Their other locations include: Whittier Uptown Northeast Northloop Downtown/Emery Rochester My go to item here is: Iced Caramella with Oat Milk Their pastries are lovely as well. They pair especially well if you want slow down to really enjoy your beverage, be off the phones and just take in the coziness/hustle of a coffee shop.

Fantastic specialty beverages and service with a modest and friendly atmosphere! The strawberry…read morematcha was flavorful and balanced. The toffee mocha latte was incredible and I want to try the caramel version next. Planning to go a third time soon. Okan and his family made it a very inviting and warm-hearted experience, and the vibe is still Northern and cozy but with some Turkish coffee shop flair as well. Try them out!

Loved checking out this new coffee shop! Cute ambiance. I got the cold brew with hazelnut and it…read morewas very good. Did not get food but the pastries all looked really good. It's located on the north end of the mall next to the UPS - plenty of parking. Super quick service for a busy-ish Saturday morning. Would love to try the Turkish coffee but seemed like it would be a better experience in the coffee shop (vs taking it to go like we were doing today).

I love that this coffee shop is open late! It's so hard to find that!…read more We enjoyed the qamaria latte- so unique and flavorful- no sugar required The seating is great- love that they have different options and the paintings on the walls are beautiful. It's a great atmosphere to enjoy coffee and catch up with friends- thanks for being open late!

If you haven't been to one of the locations, you are doing yourself a disservice! I strongly…read morerecommend the iced pistachio latte!! It is soooo freaking good!! Mix the sauce at the bottom and while this is a sweeter drink, I am ADDICTED!! There is a fair amount of parking as this is attached to strip mall The service was very friendly! I have never had bad service at any of the locations! The desserts here are all amazing! On this day I tried their Dubai cheesecake... I literally died and went to heaven hahaha, YES it is THAT good! There is a lot of seating here and a side room that is enclosed with glass for meetings or to study! This place is definitely worth checking out!

Amazing selection of pastry and coffee drinks…read more I ordered several items to try them out - pistachio latte and Iced Qamaria Latte - I enjoyed both but really like the qamaria latte its was light and chai like. ANother one is pistachio latte. its more heavy. but also very tastey. i am too full from next door but i would like the pistachio one without a full belly. I tried halal sausage pie - I honestly can't tell the difference and thought it tastes like a hotdog. Also ordered honeycomb bread, tiramisu, and Biscoff milk cake. All very good. Nice hangout spot with modern atmosphere. Will come back

Often I have places on my "mental to try list" and grab a friend or my fella to come check places…read moreout and visit. If it has something I'd go back for you'll see it on this account. This coffee place I've had my eye on for a while and it did not disappoint. @qamariacoffeemn was such a tasty treat and warm welcoming atmosphere to be in while there's so much tension in our state. Had a lovely visit while relaxing enjoying Yemeni Coffee. They have locations in Eden Prairie St. Paul and we had the pleasure of visiting their great staff and cozy cafe inBlaine. Iced and Hot Pistachio Lattes Pistachio Baklava Biscoff Milk Cake I'm a pistachio fan so I loved my iced latte and baklava. I will be back in the future for both. I'd definitely recommend checking them out sometime! For more awesome food spots check out the account mallorymademetryitmn on Instagram!

I ended up at this coffee bar after a little digging. I learned that Curioso Coffee Bar's approach…read moreto sourcing beans was shaped by the founder's time in Panama, where he roasted his own coffee using beans sourced directly from local producers and sold at his café. I know firsthand that coffee is king in Panama, so I figured anything inspired by their incredible coffee culture had to be worth trying. I visited Curioso on an early Sunday morning and immediately found it special. Not just for its coffee, but for the ambiance, service, and overall vibe. Curioso is a large, welcoming space that's part coffee bar, part brewery. I was immediately impressed by the variety of entertainment for all ages: arcade games, pool tables, dart boards, a skee-ball machine, board games, and even claw machines. Seating options are abundant, from cozy couches to tables and high-tops. There's a toddler play area and a library filled with books for all ages. The space feels family-friendly and is warm, welcoming community gathering space for all. I noticed flyers for free community events Curioso hosts, like Sunday Morning Yoga and Tuesday Trivia nights. The service was equally warm! The barista, although managing a busy Sunday morning solo, took her time to explain coffee options, highlight weekly specials with her own recommendations, and describe the pastries in partnership with Fruit & Grain and Bagels from St. Paul Bagelry. Oat milk is the standard for all their drinks! (Which I loved) We tried two speciality lattes: the "Butter Luck Next Year" (iced) and the "Blue Ribbon Peach Pie" (hot). Both were exceptional! Strong, robust, and delicious. Alongside, we also enjoyed an "Everything" handpie and a "Blueberry Lemon Curd" pop tart. Both pastries were out of this world delicious! I loooooved this pairing. I'm a sucker for savory, so the "Everything" handpie reigned supreme for me. Although I don't have a fur-baby (yet), I would like to include that Curioso is fur-friendly. I'm looking forward to returning several more times!

I visited Curioso recently as part of my 'Sip Scouter' coffee passport book…read more Knocking off just one star because the barista didn't know anything about this coffee passport book (but also giving them benefit of the doubt as they may have been new) and it seemed to take a bit for my drink even though the place was empty. I ordered one of their seasonal specials--the banana cream pie latte. It was very good. The ambiance was OK. Smaller seating area and located in a strip mall. Although my drink was good it wasn't necessarily something to write home about. I might come here again if in the area and in need of a coffee, but probably not a place I will necessarily seek out.

Stopped by Haraz Coffee House on a whim and was impressed by the huge, welcoming space. It's got…read morethe design most Yemeni coffee shops are leaning into: bright space with gold and green accents. There were many groups of people hanging out there on that summer Friday afternoon. Ordering and getting our drinks was a little slow, but we weren't in a rush. I wanted something simple so I opted for an iced adeni karak chai. It was tasty but I wouldn't expect a typical spiced chai. I'll be back to try some of the more exciting drinks and treats!

Everything we had was amazing!!! We got the banana latte, pistachio latte, and pistachio croissant…read more My favorite was the pistachio latte but I'd order everything again! I can't wait to go back and try more things off of their menu! It was a super cute set up inside. It wasn't too busy when we were there but it was starting to get a bit busier when we left. We went on a Sunday at 11 and there was plenty of street parking. I'm not sure if there is a parking lot or not. Everyone who worked there was super friendly! Looking forward to going back!

Specialty coffee seems newer in Minneapolis, and this place seems to get it…read more Ginza was an oat latte and served like a cocktail. The foam and body worked great together, and it wasn't too sweet by Asian standards. The miso tired latte tasted more bland, and closer to a regular latte. The miso flavor could be stronger. Decor was geared toward nostalgia than anything else. Felt like a throw back to simpler times. Not sure if there's parking, it didn't look like any in the front. Within walking distance from a bus stop. The bakery across the street was excellent. Service was fast considering only 1 person was working. Cash App locals rewards, if you're into rewards.

I've been around the area a lot recently but never seen this coffee shop until I saw it on TikTok…read more I got an iced vanilla latte and an iced chai, both were very flavorful. The atmosphere of the shop makes you want to chill out for a while. The staff were very friendly and curates the music with vinyls. In the front the garage door was open. In the back, was a couch with a PlayStation 2 & 3 and a GameCube. Great spot would go again!
