Spyhouse in Rochester is a fun little café. It is located inside one of the hotels I usually stay at when I come visit, and it feels pretty similar to the other Spyhouse locations around Minneapolis. I got a vanilla latte and really enjoyed it. They also had some bakery items and sweet treats available, though I am not sure if they make them there or bring them in from somewhere else. The café itself is on the smaller side, but that makes sense since it is inside a hotel. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is still enough space to sit down and enjoy your coffee for a bit, and you could probably get some work done too, though I personally would feel a little awkward staying too long if it got busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was good and the whole place had a nice relaxed feel to it. read more

Spyhouse Coffee Roasters - Sage against the machine - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

Been wanting to visit here for the longest time, I know there's a few in the cities and got excited when they decide to open one in roch! The parking isn't the best considering it's a hotel lobby but we just parked in the Mayo lot (it was the weekend so we didn't care). The decor was cute and the they had decent amount of seating. The seats were all taken, we were helped in a timely manner. They have non dairy options which is great! The only downside is that we paid $15 for our drinks. Which I think is crazy considering my sisters cup is small. But my matcha was amazing! read more

Stopped here while in town for coffee and pastry (and card game). It was a nice space, quiet since we got there first thing on a Sunday. Love that they were one of the few places open that early. The people were friendly and the drinks and pastry were delightful. Love a find like this on a quick weekend trip! read more

Soooo happy there's a Spyhouse in Rochester! It's sometimes hard to find parking - usually parallel park on one of the streets behind the hotel. The ambience is great! There's plenty of seating as it's attached to a hotel. One can come here with a group or alone to work. The hotel bathrooms are clean and right around the corner from the coffee shop. I haven't tried any of the pastries but the coffee is so good! I especially like Spygirl and the Matcha latte. The baristas are friendly, patient and helpful! read more

We're staying in the hotel next to Spyhouse and found Spyhouse very convenient. Their coffees are authentic, not the fluffy, highly sweetened, Starbucks-type menu. Spyhouse offers a selection of high quality pastries in the AM, perfect with a cappuccino! They gav a small but tasteful lunch menu, and comfortable and ample seating for a coffee meetup or some work time. read more

My Cappuccino--How It Should Be Another half marathon running trip brought us to Rochester, MN--a small city with a great atmosphere, lively downtown, and plenty of fantastic hotels and restaurants. Four of us stayed in a downtown hotel, ready to take on a half marathon on May 17th. The race itself was incredible. The crowd, the course, the energy--it all came together perfectly. We all finished with impressive times, and one of us even hit a personal record. Yohoo! After the race, it was time for the next mission: finding the best cappuccino in town. We asked a few folks at the hotel for recommendations, and while some had great suggestions, we hit a snag--it was Sunday, and most of the coffee shops were closed. But luck was still on our side; one of our friends, after checking reviews, suggested we try Spyhouse Coffee, and off we went. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking into the shop was an experience in itself--warm and welcoming. The space was vast, with an adjacent quiet seating area where many were working with a cup of coffee by their side.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interestingly, that space seemed even busier than the main area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As I took it all in, I found myself instinctively trying to assess the quality of the coffee, convinced--on intuition alone--that it had to be good. With no one ahead of us in line, we were ready to order. The barista, friendly and confident, took our orders. As usual, I went with my standard cappuccino with oat milk. She smiled, seemingly pleased with my choice. My friends ordered their own preferences, while one asked for a recommendation. To my delight, she responded without hesitation: "Our best coffee is the cappuccino." Aha! That was all I needed to hear. A few minutes later, our coffees were ready. I could barely contain my excitement as I took my first sip, and--oh my God!--it was unlike any cappuccino I'd ever had. The quality was exceptional, with perfectly roasted and ground espresso, expertly poured and blended with the oat milk. Each sip carried an exquisite texture and smoothness. I was so impressed that I immediately stood up, made my way to the barista, and personally thanked her for her craft. Natalie was her name--an absolute master of her art. If you're looking for a phenomenal and truly unique coffee experience, Spyhouse Coffee is the place to check out. read more

Came back again with my sister since she wanted to visit. Not a lot of coffee options just your basic menu. I got a Carmello and it was good but extremely overpriced. Two drinks for $16. I ended up getting a 10 oz since I wasn't sure how much I would like the drink. The ambiance was very chill and a good place to get work done. It's connected to the hotel. read more

The prices across the board are very high for a coffee house. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is okay, but nothing special.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They did serve up a fantastic cappuccino with cool "coffee art" which is the only reason this is a 4 star review and not 3. The baked goods selection is a bit limited, and also expensive, but it was tasty. The staff was friendly at the order but they were self involved when we left, which seems unusual for a coffee house. I do recommend trying this place due to the high quality of the coffee, but just know the prices are high. read more

I love the ambiance of this coffee place. It would be a great place to study or do some work for a couple of hours. The baristas were quick to take our order. I ordered the jasmine tea lemonade and it was around higher end of $5. It was fragrant and just the right amount of sweetness. The only downside about this place is that the coffee and other drinks are more expensive than other places around town. read more

Vegan review! Came here for the first time. Barista/cashier gave me some recommendations. We settled on a basic latte with oat milk and vanilla syrup. Pretty good, would come back again! read more

Absolutely love this spot, the coffee is delicious. I had the Spygirl latte and it was great. The coffee is not over roasted so it is well balanced and not too acidic. We tried an assortment of pastries including the classic chocolate chip cookie, pain au chocolat, and the Kouign amman. They were all great, airy, fluffy and extremely flavorful. I would definitely recommend this place and I will be back. They also have a variety of drinks an a good deal for happy hour. The service was excellent, friendly, helpful and gave us lots of options to work with. They made our coffee promptly. Lots of seating options, with wifi, and lots of outlets for computers. Both plugs and usb plugs. Great place to work/study. Relaxed environment, good music and lots of light! Will come back! read more

Checked it out during our visit to Rochester. Beautiful location and a very nice and open seating area. The decor goes along with the medical city. Staff was great, bakery items were excellent. The lattes were a mixed bag, the Spygirl was delicious but the liquid Gold latte wasn't my thing, wanted to try it and once was enough for me, lot of turmeric and gritty ginger I guess, don't like my latte gritty. Overall, a great place for a bite and to hang out. Has a bar in there too, didn't try that. read more

Love a good spyhouse. I always know I can be productive in spyhouse, their cold brew is great and will certainly provide you with some caffeine. There are some good coffee shop options for food, I'd love to see the more variety in breakfast. Ambiance is great, the challenge can be how busy it always seems to be. read more

Early cyber Monday shopping but not online! Needed a carmello first thing. Had a tough time finding parking. I was hoping to grab breakfast but its a limited menu read more

Came back for another visit. Ordered a cortado, which came quickly and with a great balanced taste. This particular drink is more expensive here than other local coffee locals, but the nicely appointed environment and friendly staff make that little cost difference okay. Still only 4 stars as it is the little things that make a difference and the music is a little too loud for a coffee place...though the music is good. Came here to do some afternoon work and I will definitely come back again. read more

Delicious coffee café, with very high-quality pastries! Had a wonderful almond croissant from their case this morning. Highly recommend! And both barista's were super efficient, friendly, and helpful read more

Spyhouse is in the lobby of the fairly new TownePlace Suites about 3 blocks from Mayo. (Also across the street from Dan Abraham Healthy Living center so you can Mayo's subway within a block of the cofffee shop/hotel.) I had the Spygirl latte with lavender and honey. If you've never had lavender in coffee you are missing out. The other big find is that they partner with Patisserie 46 (well regarded Minneapolis bakery) with delicious treats. Check it out! read more

I stayed at the Marriott hotel this coffee shop is "attached" to. The coffee shop was a great place to catch up on emails before heading to work. I had the honey latte (can't remember the specialty name)... it was yum. They make art in their lattes, which is just a fun bonus. read more

Egregiously overpriced w/ moderate quality espresso/drinks, at best. This is a chain from the twin cities.

Overrated and overpriced coffee. Came here a few times and was pretty overwhelmed. The staff here is kind but a huge drawback that they don't have a microwave to heat up pastries. We got a pastry and it tasted pretty stale. I'd go to fiddlehead instead. read more

I love this place in the cities. I got done with work, hoping to get a coffee but they shut down 1/2 hour early.

Great atmosphere and excellent coffee. Really great customer service. They saved me in preparation for extremely early morning meetings. God bless you! read more

The perfect place. Just what you always want in a coffee house. Well crafted drinks, comfortable and pleasant atmosphere, happy people.
